A robust commentary.

They are true gentlemen 🍷🗿

@@BoxofficeMoviesScenes precisely

Actually, it’s a wine tasting theme. The name sommelier is literally a wine specialist. Throughout the discussion with the armorer he’s using words like “bold” and “tasting” to describe trying out wines. The thing hanging around his neck is a tastevin, used by a sommelier for tasting and judging various wines.

@@TViper2369 Thanks, I had no idea there was such a thing.

He did a great job!

That is very cool!

That’s so cool! Didn’t know that

I'm sure Kenau probably was keen for him after the script required a tailor. The odds are they'd be quite friendly, and this is a way of showing how much he likes his product. He probably just said act like he always does at a fitting.

Soderbergh did the same thing in Ocean's Eleven: the guy suiting up Saul is the costume designer, Jeffrey Kurland.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Ok so don’t. I have eyes and nobody needs you too

​@Okitan I'm afraid that will be beyond his capabilities as well, as I share his pure joy at witnessing each and every frame of this masterpiece.

And the music fits so well

ME TOO OMFG haha

For me as a person in always sometimes ask for dessert

John himself is always polite, respectful, and appreciative to everyone he meets in this sub-culture. He remembers everyone by name, from bodyguards to bartenders. He's also very knowledgeable and discriminating about their wares and services. And he never kills without cause, and shows mercy when he practically can. As cold-blooded mass murderers go, he's pretty classy.

Because he was the best. A legend. The one you call to kill the bogeyman.

​@@yenerc3117kill the 'fucking' boogeyman

@@danieldickson8591 Most visible in the 1st movie when he has a gun to the bouncers head in the nightclub and simply has a cordial conversation about the contents of the club before asking him to go home for the night. The bouncer thanks him and leaves. John is a known variable and people know that if they do not pose a threat then John will let them walk away unharmed.

Seldom are those who are best at war very warlike.

I like the Nazi Germany Anti-Partisan pin on his lapel. I'd love to know the back-story on that.

@@johnmcdonald587 Good catch, it was also on the set of keys. I don't remember this plot point of the movie well though, maybe it was access to some WW2 era German building.

its because he is italian :D

He sold me my first Kitchen Gun

Do you mean the sommelier or suit maker?

You could tell from his face he was going through all his knowledge of guns looking for something robust and precise.

LOl Like "I thought he would never ask" LOL

what does he mean by robust and precise anyway?

@@kevinjiang9980 Likely large caliber and accurate at long range.

@@dreemurr1267 That's what I thought as well but there were no large caliber sniper rifles offerred. What do we know about "robust and precise"?

Wow, you do know your wines and guns.

You know two things I'm very interested in: Wine and Guns. I aspire to be like you.

"Big. Bold." = Malbec, Tanat.

I also like the little detail of the armorer's body language and how he talks about dessert almost says, "how could I forget, this is John Wick."

@@snotenberg7 And he sounded so HAPPY to discuss Dessert. I think he's personally a Blade-man.

All of the people he consults are as expert in their specialties, as he is in his.

Yeah elite professionnel babayaga should already know the guns he ll buy but instead he asks for advice

A true professional recognizes the expertise of others.

I imagine that his willingness to ask for help and advice is one of the reasons he's so effective. Other assassins tend to have a bit of an ego and it always fucks them over in the end.

@@ireallyreallyhategoogleprofessional sports players are some of the healthiest people in the world yet they still use nutritionists, strength coaches, cardio coaches etc etc etc. Same idea :)

And they likely are supplying other customers to prepare for his arrival.

and prolly getting a lot of money from him too

@@kyiaao How gauche…😜

They probably just are relieved he doesn t plan to kill them

@@unhommequicourtlmao they was scared he was gonna kill the pope

FACTS!!!!!!!!

​@@smoke301 you like your own comment cringe

@@capybara9521 guess minuscule things like that really keep you up at night huh? GTFO it was a damn accident

Broke and well armed

@@smoke301 damn bro you took that PERSONAL

As an admitted firearms enthusiast, there were only a couple great options here. The German Walthers and HKs that John's used in the past are still remarkably capable despite their age, but the Long Slide Glock options currently offer better capacity, and aren't a compromise on durability. Despite the popular myths about their reliability, a reasonable AR15 is more robust than any AK known to man. As the money you spend on an AR increases, so to does the precision it's capable of delivering on target. A rack grade AR is 1-2MOA, but you can get sub MOA AR15s which is hard to beat. 5.56 doesn't mess around inside 200yards even out of an 11.5inch barrel. I highly doubt that they stock cheap rack grade AR15s at the Continental. The rest of the stock I can ID in the wine room are shotguns, 16-20in AR15/10s, and MP5s. The MP5 is a fine weapon, but it's still a pistol; and when you're expecting trouble you want a rifle. If it had been in stock, a P90 would have been an excellent choice as well.Terminal ballistics on 5.7FN are nuts, and a 50rnd magazine is :chefskiss: Something that I think people overlook about this, is that he's getting multiple weapons in case one of them gets damaged or destroyed, or isn't solving the problem. In an ideal world the AR15 would have solved everything. I'd have liked to see more AR15 mags stashed with the M4 in the cave fight before he transitioned to the Benelli. It's REALLY hard to beat the Stoner M16/AR15 design.

@@ChemistyStudentDon't know shit about firearms so this was very educational ty

@@ChemistyStudent Worth noting that from the sommelier's description, all of those firearms had been custom modified. Undoubtedly top of the line from the start, but then taken to the next level.

⁠​⁠@@ChemistyStudentall of the guns are Taran Tacticals which means that they are heavily upgraded and are competition ready firearms. Even that AR’s Trijicon Accupoint retails for a couple grand. That AR is priced at $4500.

Then🤨

Comedians are amazing at playing weird stuff straight. The tailor is in real life Kenau's tailor.

He is also the voice of Darth Maul in Phantom Menace.

Also in Pasanger movie

I was about to ask if this was Peter S. I knew he sounded familiar but i only know him from "Well, to be honest, Jimmy... I don't think, that's any of your business." Thanks for confirming.

He also was the guy in the kitchen gun KZfaq video

I see what you did there lol

@@SPDFRK ye

They killed it. Literally.😀😀😀

At Trader Joe's: "I need something for the main course. Something bold, robust, fiery." "I recommend the Orange Chicken, with an accompaniment of Ghost Pepper Rice Noodles. 32 ounces of protein, exquisite sour and sweet notes from the mandarin sauce, 800k on the Scoville scale, enough portions to feed an entire group should you have... more guests than expected."

yeah, with the same music.

But he has to be in character as John Wick. I imagine the grocery shopping scene from Mr. Mom. He's asking the deli person what cheese goes best with prosciutto appetizers and a lady behind him is all, "just get bologna, mister." And as he slowly turns around to gives her That Look, a guy from the Continental in the meat department recognizes him and quickly, quietly, fast-walks to check out.

​@@JinghisKhanI read that in a voice from the armorer dude 😅

​@@NohvaaSame! Someone needs to get this to the SNL script writers.

A classy execution from the deadliest professions.

Customer service like that ensures that an assassin doesn't come out second in a one-on-one fight

When you're paid in gold coins, there's probably a good incentive to give only the best to your clients.

I suspect his true secret is he is a great tipper.

​@rickw4891 to my understanding, the coins value is dependent on who's holding it at the time. So any coins that John Wick doles out is more appreciated.

Their service is very robust… precise.

Either John wick 5 needs to visit rome again or this man needs to get transferred to wherever the next movie takes place because we need more of him

@@gavinw.347 this 100% we need him again going over whatever weapon particulars are needed.

Well, when John first asks for him at the front desk, he calls him the "sommelier", which is a wine steward employed by very high end restaurants (and hotels). The language between the two of them is intentionally framed as if John were selecting what wines to serve with different courses at a fancy dinner. Same thing with talking to the tailor about formal/social, what time of day, etc, which are all real considerations when you're getting a high-end, bespoke suit.

@@Valavaern thank you for enlightening me on the proper terms to use.

You mean Sctanley

"Dessert" The last part of the meal, for when you have finished everything else. A knife doesn't run out of bullets or need to reload.

He's already eaten his meat, and now, he's gonna have his pudding.

@@HeroBot930 I mean .. how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

🍪

@@HeroBot930 📸🤨

@@HeroBot930 ayo btw im just joking about this stuff it sounds dirty minded out of context xd

The coins aren’t monetary they represent favors almost. He gave him a lot to insure his secrecy. He is handing John the maps for the home of a high table member.

Probably because four services were provided: -a map of the catacombs -an old map of the D’Antonio estate -a modern blueprint of the D’Antonio estate -keys to the estate itself John knows a service well rendered, and he pays accordingly.

@@omegaanimations8549 good point

His Keanu side was activated

what was that coin? and i know such services like intel and military grade armament are super expensive, but what value are we talking about just out of curiosity.

Very much reciprocal, I'd say. These people all know that they're dealing with the very best in their fields.

Respect is like a paycheck on both sides: Earned.

The Continental hotel chain caters to the international criminal elite, so it's reasonable that the services they provide use the very best personnel.

The rare Johnny Mnemonic reference.

I use Léon logic for this - the skill of an assassin is determined by the last weapon he learns, which is the knife. The pencil is what you learn as a graduate-level elective.

That's because his exact title is sommelier - as in wine steward. And barely anyone thinks to ask for dessert wine, so that's probably a little extra hit of niceties for him from John.

He's simply waiting to reveal himself to the Jedi...at last he will have revenge... Oh wait, sorry, wrong film. lol

I'm actually shocked that he didn't yell at john that it's 4 in the f**king mornin'! If you don't get the movie reference, you're an idiot.

He uses his Duane Benzie voice

​@@IdeaSeekernonsense comment

The face makes tells me he was waiting for him to say that.

It makes sense too. These people are professionals, tops in their field. It would be stranger if they DIDNT truly love their role.

That man could sell me a Hi-Point with 10000 rounds through for double retail and I'd be happy about it

Played by Peter Serafinowicz. He also plays The Tick in the recent Amazon live action adaptation. And way back in the day he was the voice actor that dubbed over Ray Park as Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.

And he sold us the Kitchen Gun!

@@JohnSmith-vk9ds He was also one of the better guests on Cats Does Countdown. ABDICATE.

How many takes this scene must have took from the actors bursting out laughing.

It's not even code, since the Sommelier straight up says what the guns are anyways. He's just kind of pretentious. But nobody gets anywhere in the John Wick universe without a sense of style.

Not as much code, John is a man of a very few words. He doesn't say something if it isn't needed to be said, same way he kills. He doesn't kill someone if it isn't needed

Just before this scene, John asks Charon if the sommelier is in. A sommelier is someone whose whole job is to KNOW wines. They taste wines, learn the vintage, everything they can know about a wine, so they can recommend foods that pair well with it as well as help a customer find wines to fit their tastes. Notice John asks the sommelier for "a tasting." This man is a sommelier of weapons. John is merely following protocol. He takes his job very seriously, but also notice John's expression and how he says "a tasting." It's almost as if John doesn't care for the act of discussing weapons like someone would discuss wine, but John plays along. He uses this terminology because that's what the sommelier wants, and John obviously respects this man's recommendations. John is established as one of the best assassins in the world, if not THE best, yet he still asks the sommelier for his opinion when choosing weapons for this job. If John Wick is going to ask someone else to recommend a weapon, damn straight he's going to indulge the sommelier's eccentricities. You can even see the level of respect at the end when John asks for a recommendation for dessert. It's as if the sommelier doesn't get requests for knives much anymore, and is pleased that John would ask him for such a detail, when most assassins would probably be happy with any knife.

​@@DyrianLightbringer everything they can know ? English please.

@@capybara9521 That was English, I just didn't word it well. It should read, "They taste wines, learn the vintage, and learn pretty much everything they can know about a wine, so they can recommend foods that pair well with it as well as help a customer find wines to fit their tastes." Thank you for calling attention to a single mistake I made in a very long post. However, requesting "English please" when all I did was leave out a couple of words in one sentence in that entire paragraph that was clearly English suggests that you're just trying to troll me. So, again, thank you for pointing out my mistake, now go get a life.

The John Wick films became increasingly unrealistic. In 4 the characters might as well be comic-book supers.

@@danieldickson8591 great movies in their own right, (3-4) but not quite the same

1&2 are definitely superior. Same with the fast and furious movies.@@danieldickson8591

its his side hustle 🤣

I hope he finally moved out of his mum’s flat.

Peter Serafinowicz as Bond is not something I was expecting to think about, but I’m here for it.

John Wick 5 should have a bar scene where Pierce Brosnan serves him a Martini.

Why am I suddenly wondering what the Q equivalent would be in the John Wick universe? "Do be careful, Mr. Wick! [yanks contraption out of his hands] This is our latest hybrid weapon - it's a gun AND a knife!"

I just watched the movie last night for the first time (and #3) and I got that same vibe at that exact part! I thought I was just overthinking it and imagining it, seeing that you noticed it too is so cool- what an actor! Since your comment was cool I thought I would add something interesting about Keanu, My dad used to be a stuntman and he used to always joke about the time he was working on something and Keanu was there, and Keanu just wanted to be around the stuntmen and had so much respect for what they did like as if he wanted to do it himself, lmao my dad thought it was weird at the time because he said the room smelled like a bunch of sweaty stunt dudes and yet Keanu was there practically giddy with excitement, this happened in the 90s, and after watching these John wick movies I thought back to that story and saw it in a new light, he’s just a huge fan of cool stuff like that and now he gets to do it

Hi beautiful hows life treating you so far

Hello my Dear fan, where are you located?

Behind the Scenes tidbit?

AHHHH!!!! NO!

Basically its the equivalent of getting shot at with paintballs. They're not going to puncture your skin. But it'll hurt like hell and leave a lot of bruises.

@Furion Max not exactly. As he said, the bullet force has to somewhere. And the bullet momentum is much much more than a mere paintball Its not just bruising, but it will cause internal damage, which will probably kill the person

@@Random_dud31 wonder what that says about arrows? Bc in the fourth movie the big main bodyguard got shot in the arm with an arrow and didn't even flinch.

One of my minor grips with John Wick 4 (which is still an excellent movie) is that they seem to forget entirely that the bullet proof suits don't make getting shot painless, they just ensure you'll survive. Everyone with one of them in John Wick 4 has little reaction to the shots deflecting off their suits.

Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range

Imagine a T-800 made in the image and likeness of John Wick, programmed with the expertise of John Wick (not in regards of combat data or weaponry, but in regards of opportunities and usage of ordinary items as weaponry)

@@elementxxrider Sarah Conner wouldn’t stand a chance!

The shop scene in T1 is still amazing.

And extreme prejudice.

Just like actual body armor, just because it doesn't penetrate doesn't mean the force of the impact isn't going to smart like hell.

Way better than being dead though@@TheAdventGamer

She should have cameo'd in 3 or 4!

Two handed press-out into an isosceles stance… Attention to detail was awesome (as is the actress).

​@@jcdenton2187My headcanon is that she sewed the Marquis's suit (He hired the same place)

he's seen escorting Wick into Antonio's office. That's a position of high trust. Antonio wouldn't have a receptionist who didn't know her business right down to the last detail.

That woman came across as rather twitchy from the start. I wouldn't want to piss her off under any circumstances.

An armed society is a polite society

A little bit of everything, Easy Andy from Taxi, Lord of War (2005) and some Lloyd the bartender from The Shining. A simple/humble merchant of death.

ITS SO ROBUST

The other scene related to that one is when Aurelio took the phone call regarding JW's car. "I heard you struck my son." "Yes sir I did." "May I ask why?" "Well, he stole John Wick's car and killed his dog." "Oh." He goes from "this guy is dead man walking" to "my son is dead man walking" with that one word response. Just friggin' brilliant!

Viggo would need to be apart of it. And his actor is no longer living.

@@travisvanalst4698 we should try to wrap up john wick, and end him on a good note. I wouldnt mind seeing a woman try this with the right actor its absolutely possible

@@travisvanalst4698 Viggo would be younger. so they could technically make it work.

Keanu is getting fairly old though, as much as we like to joke about him being an immortal vampire he is aging. I also don't thinkt he Impossible Task really needs to be shown, it works perfectly well as its almost mythical status left up to your imagination as a viewer. You risk the final product not living up to the picture you've built in your head of it. That said if they do show it, I think it'd be smart to have it as a gritty animated short series. Invincible and The Legend of Vox Machina are two recent examples of adult-aimed animated shows doing well. They could have Keanu still voice John for it. Or, hell, make it a video game. These movies are practically adaptations of the best action video games never made anyway

There's a company that makes them for a lot of ppl who, of course, have the money and feel they need the protection. They only divulged Steven Seagal as one of their buyers. No one else.

A loaded Glock 34 9mm is NOT easy to conceal in a suit. A Glock 26 9mm? Yes. Adding M4 5.56mm rifle mags, 17rd 21rd Glock mags is hard too.

I would un-ironically get that tattooed.

yeah, sort of like how nobody knows how to spell dessert anymore, either.
