The idea of John Wick correcting McClane about the mujahideen is not something I would have thought of - but I'll be damned if it's not absolutely accurate. Genuinely one of my favourite lines.

[@shahsadsaadu5817]

Also,it ain't that much of a correction. The ogs from mujahideen were the ones who formed Taliban

[@icy_avxry8357]

Same people, mujahideen members made up the taliban

[@mrmidnight8565]

When I hear mujahadeen I just think of call of duty black ops 2 honestly

[@richardbuck4897]

@@icy_avxry8357 This is not accurate as the Mujahideen were made up of several groups opposing the Soviet-backed government. This government was widely disliked in Afghanistan due to their willingness to execute political enemies and allowed groups with differing goals to come together. After the collapse of the communist government, these groups eventually splintered apart in a civil war that the Taliban won.

[@libertatemadvocatus1797]

[@londonpurvis7012]

I love how their raps fit their fighting styles. Mcclane’s was tongue in cheek, creative, and full of cursing. Wick’s was clean, smooth, and once he started his flow never stopped. Rambo’s was emotional, chaotic and intense.

Late answer, but it is also a nice reference to the "Expendables" movies ^^

[@guyfarting2060]

One thing about this battle that I never see mentioned is how the beat changes to match the movie soundtrack of each pariticpant. From the more straightforward, orchestral action-packed tone of Die Hard, to the low-key electronica of Wick, to the more somber, sinister war-torn soundtrack of the Rambo films. It's honestly my favorite part of this battle lol

[@TanmanC]

Yeah it was really done well! I remember them saying in the BTS that they tried to pick a specific beat

[@williamschmidt9331]

I know I'm late to this reply, but fantastic job pointing that out. I didn't catch it until I read your review and then went back and we listened to it you are 100% right good ears bro

[@gudmansal3468]

also, die hard has christmas bells

[@salmonblox]

They did the same thing in the James Bond vs. Austin Powers battle, to great effect. Even when a character has a single word interjection, they get their own music. It’s a lot of fun when they do that, adds so much flavor to the battle

[@trmahama6447]

[@3sidesinasquare]

It's a subtle touch, but I love the inclusion of sleigh bells in the beat during McClane's verse.

[@ComicalRealm]

Fun fact: John Wick was initially titled "Scorn". The reason, Screenwriter Derek Kolstad explained, was that Keanu Reeves kept referring to the script by the character’s name and distributor Lionsgate believed it would be too much free publicity to lose.

[@rohinkartik-narayan7535]

Check the behind the scenes video, they explain how for each of the characters they added certain musical effects to highlight each John

[@randomlowe3553]

"A movie is a Christmas movie if you take Christmas out and the movie wouldn't work" Die Hard only works because he was going back to see his kids for Christmas. Therefore its a Christmas movie.

[@sebpaine9095]

@@randomlowe3553 But replace Christmas with any other family deadline and the movie still makes sense. If he was trying to get back to his family for Easter, a birthday or an anniversary it would literally not effect the plot at all. And since that deadline is the only real usage of Christmas in the film its not a Christmas film.

[@samashton6112]

@@sebpaine9095 I mean, I see your point and it could be most other holidays (except for that fact it’s a Christmas party his wife’s at which I don’t think would’ve happened at many other holidays), I think while it COULDVE been any other holiday, it was Christmas.

I LOL'd so hard thanks - there's a little tear running down. The lines and the timing was amazing.

[@Rek_Rc]

They've always been good at sticking the landing on the characters they play., But this one was a level above all the rest in terms of making you forget they aren't actually John rambo, John McLain, and John Wick. They absolutely nailed it.

[@stevenfrye8640]

That was fantastic. I feel like John Wick’s lines were better, Rambo’s fit his character the best, and John McClane’s hit the hardest

[@nicholashodges201]

Definitely.

[@michaelmarburger1003]

I absolutely loved this battle. Wick comes out of nowhere just dropping disses on both. This has savage lines also. “McClanes family Christmas”, “Hairline”/ “Steve Erkel’s neighbor”, and the “Shaft” lines were brutal. Best ERB I saw in a while and easily now one of my top 3 favorites.

"Only one of us can go three chapters without sucking" wick really murdered them right then and there

[@giantWario]

It wasn't accurate at all though. Die Hard 2 was good and Die Hard 3 was the best one in the whole franchise. It started to suck with 4. And I wouldn't even say Rambo 2 and 3 were bad, it's just that it was a major tonal shift from the first movie and kind of ruined its message.

[@gutcheckfm]

@@giantWario die hard 2 & 3 suck ass compared to the first. ur tripping.

[@giantWario]

@@gutcheckfm Couldn't disagree more, I just told you I consider 3 to be the best one. 2 was kind of unimaginative mind you, it was the exact same formula as the first movie but you could say the same thing about John Wick Chapter 2, it's not necessarily such a bad thing.

[@james-97209]

@@giantWario well the first 3 john wick films have been fairly consistent with their themes , tones and practically everything else so i dare say that mr. Wick has beat the other 2 in that plus from audience stand point they revived the macho action hero genre and keanu reaves carrier and nailed him as THE action hero of our time to the point that its unlikely that he will not have to play in movies like expendables for quite some time (if ever)

[@GraveKing3473]

@@giantWario Yeah...but the Die Hard and Rambo sequels didn't have the box office success that the wick movies did. It's also clearly the only series that was intended to be a series, the Rambo and Die Hard sequels were just tacked on cash grabs.
