The crazy thing is he really is this good with firearms. I watched videos of him training on tactical speed shooting ranges and he became quite impressive with all of that training.

[@Lesevesel]

KR beat Taran''s own record time on the range. As usual, KR sheepishly told him he could do better.

[@firewarrior5828]

The universe of John Wick is extremely well crafted. There's so many stories outside of John's that could be told in this world. Edit: Also keep in mind, this is John fresh out of retirement. If you think he was ruthless and efficient now, there was probably something almost supernatural about him in his prime. Especially considering this movie sets up the fact that litteraly almost EVERYONE in the organization knows who he is.

There are so many hidden stuff only experts will notice for example Francis the bouncer told John how many pound he lost was actually a hidden message how many guards he is up against. Or when Marcus shot at the pillow. Marcus is an excellent marksman and would never miss a shot. You can see the wind blowing through his hair right before he shot so he knew when he was aiming for John he would hit the pillow.

a fact I always found interesting is that they said to save money the stunt doubles would die more then once if you pay attention the goons start with a full head of hair and as they get killed they get progressively less, so the ones that are bald and clean shaven have died like 3-4 times.

The John Wick house is out here on Long Island in a very exclusive town called Mill Neck. (At the end of Horseshoe Road right by the water) --- The runway he practices on is at Republic Airport, Farmingdale, NY.. The fountain where Ms Perkins gets her comeuppance is the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park... --- The real-life location of the New York Continental Hotel is The Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court in New York City. However, it's interior scenes were filmed using the interior of Delmonico's located at 56 Beaver Street..

Francis is a smart guy, he understands that when John Wick comes after someone you get the Hell out of the way. John is like a force of nature.

John lives in the Hamptons (former clients house was used for externals in 2). Orellio is in Queens. The Continental is in Manhattan. Never know for sure but I want to say that club is in Brighton Beach in BK.

Since this is never revealed in the movies, here’s the “Impossible Task” that John had to do in order to leave the gang. Kill all of Viggo’s rivals in New York City in a single night. “The bodies he buried that day laid a foundation for what we are now.”

The color palette of this movie was important for symbolism. When we see John Wick in the "real" world, it's bright, but monochromatic. When he's in the underworld, it's colorful, but dark.

[@N0rWatch322]

When you really break that scene @7:01 and the meaning... he vaguely states what Mr Wick had to do, takes a swig and then followed up with the outcome. He took that drink as if it was burning through him, like he knows the reality of what ultimately happened, had to follow through with his word, but was a little terrified of it all. Then he follows through with the line ,"The bodies he buried that day, laid the foundation of WHAT we are now." The amount of deaths that followed his presence to retire in his terms was such that it may have cost the destruction of another group like theirs and utterly terrified everyone to submission. So for Viggo, he owes John his life for getting the rewards that followed... but also understood what the consequences were for him

[@f3rn823]

All of the John wicks are great. Enjoy

Gotta remember, in the Red Circle, John had already fought through numerous foes before getting to the last guy. If John were rested he'd have taken that guy out with no problem, I think. :)

Now that you have seen John Wick, you owe it to yourselves to see the comedy bit called a 'Pitch Meeting' for the John Wick movie. The Pitch Meetings are short videos by Ryan George where he plays both parts as a screenwriter and the movie exec to whom he is pitching the movie. They are all funny, but the one for John Wick is especially hilarious!

[@alexkor380]

Michael Nyqvist's play is great at this point (when he telling the story of John Wick). Listen carefully to that "Ow" when he finds out what his son has done. He already then understood the inevitability of retribution. The father who realized that he had ALREADY lost his son. It remains only to explain to his son why he will meet his death. Last hugs - goodbye. And complete hopelessness in the eyes of the father.

[@l.piloto7964]

An ancient order called Assa-sins used to accept only gold as payment (weight in gold) for their services such as espionage, murder, or counterintelligence. It adds to the believability of the movie since there is precedence in real history. Some even argue that this is the origin of the Beggars Guild in China's past as well as the Ninja of Japan. If I may add a personal note, people who do work in military, intelligence and kill or capture squads must keep their feelings firewalled so they don't get in the way of what must be done.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

The Continental Hotels are essentially neutral ground, Safe Houses for everyone in their "world". Nobody is allowed to do their criminal stuff on the premises, most especially murder (or really violence of any sort, but self-defense is apparently allowed). As part of their front of legitimacy, normal people can also stay at the hotels, which is why the special lounge takes a coin to get in. Which, basically means staying at a Continental is just about the safest places on Earth. Perkins broke the rules by going after John inside the hotel, but that probably would've just gotten her kicked out or something along those lines. It was the fact that she killed Harry, that got her executed. I'm sure Winston was happy to do it for John and Marcus' sakes, but as far as the rules go, her only actual mistake was in attacking John and killing Harry. Just another example of the really stellar worldbuilding. I wish these guys could've had more say in how The Matrix got made. It would've been 10 times better than what we got.

To get the full Keanu Reaves effect it would have been better to watch the Matrix before this. That movie personifies who he is and this movie added to that legacy.

Someone on another JW reaction video made the observation that as Viggo served Iosef a shot of vodka, it was the low grade, bottom shelf vodka AND it was served in an equally cheap glass. After Iosef took a drink, Viggo never drank his shot and calmly put the glass back on the bar. He punches Iosef and moves to the back of the bar and pours himself high end, top shelf vodka in a spectacular glass. He never shared his best stuff with Iosef.

[@YourGodStalin]

A little bit of info the majority of people don't know, this movie(the first of the John Wick trilogy) is actually, albeit VERY loosely, based on a true story, it's based on Marcus Luttrell and his dog DASY. In 2009 after having been back in the US for a while after the events portrayed in the Lone Survivor movie, Luttrell was having trouble sleeping and his dog, DASY, pronounced "Daisy" but standing for the members of his squad, wanted outside into the yard, Luttrell of course let the dog go out to do her business while he sat and watched TV, minutes later he heard a gunshot and then laughing, outside a group of wannabe gang bangers had shot and killed DASY, leaving her in a ditch, Luttrell retrieved a handgun and ran outside, those that had killed DASY jumped in their car and tried to run away, Luttrell proceeded to get into his truck and chase them while phoning the police and reporting to them the situation, he chased them through 3 Texas counties until the police caught up and stopped all of them, reportedly Luttrell told a sheriff deputy that, the only reason he didn't ignore the police and kill all of them was that he, "had killed enough people".

[@karlhodgson9771]

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

This is a great action movie, hands down. One of the best ever made. But there's so much more than that. The story and characters are interesting and compelling (ok, maybe not the bratty mob kid). The world is rich and varied, with depth. And the direction is so good. Consider...in a matter of minutes, we're introduced to a character and his wife that we know absolutely nothing about, and with practically no dialogue, we get that they're married, that they love each other deeply, and that he has recently lost her. We see the proof of her love in her final arrangements for the puppy, and we see the proof of his in how receiving that gift breaks him. We sympathize deeply with this total stranger, and we just want him to not hurt anymore, and we love the (literally) most adorable puppy ever to walk this world. John's our boy...we hurt with him, and we want him to be ok. And then...the shit happens. Iosef and his thugs, destroying the very last peace he had in the world since the loss of his wife. And we find out who John really is. A murderer, a criminal. And we don't care. We know his wife saw something better in him. We saw what that was when he cried over loss, and embraced her final gift. That's all that matters to us, and the fact that John is a killer of killers, is only right and just, that he goes to visit violence upon those who ruined his last shred of hope. The ones who opened Pandora's Box, one last time. We cheer for this murderer as he inflicts hellish carnage on the guilty. We revel in the satisfaction of their slaughter. We admire him for giving respect and consideration to those who aren't his enemies, and his loyalty to those he calls a friend. Barely a quarter of the way into the movie, and all of it is established, with hardly any words spoken until the end of that introductory act. That, is some goddamned good filmmaking.
