In _Deadpool 2's_ credits, the director was identified as 'One of the guys who killed the dog in John Wick', referring to David Leitch - _John Wick_ was his directorial debut.

Fun Fact about the Francis Scene: John says "You've lost weight", Francis replies "Over 60 kg" (the subtitles are incorrect, because he actually says kilograms, which is 132 lbs, a rather odd amount of weight to lose). This is actually a code and a test for Francis. He is telling John that there are 60 ish people inside guarding the boy. And BECAUSE he was honest with John and showed that mutual respect, he let Francis go and "take the night off".

"Because he stole John Wick's car Sir and uh killed his dog". "Oh". 💀

5:46 small clarification, people tend to get confused because the scene is too quick but the bad guys did kill the dog but did not move daisy to him, she used all her strength to limp to him then died.

The actor that "hurt" the puppy would spend time with it just playing between takes because he felt really bad.

"They couldn't have selected a cuter dog!" Well said! I LOVE the fact that in this man's man, shoot 'em up movie, the picked a dog that even the most stoic man will be thinking, "Awww. Cute puppers." Also, I disagree. I think the dog was mortally wounded & dragged ITSELF (crawled) over to John, to be with his "master" in its final moments. Which, to me, makes it all the MORE heart-rending.

The part when the cop came to John's house. He took his hat off and covered the camera because the cops know who he is.

i love the lighting in the red circle bath house scene. Blue is johns colour, its where he's in control, anyone in red is danger/at risk. when john knives the guy in the neck its in blue, but when john gets rolled back in a fight he briefly goes into a red spot light then back into blue, and when they go to the dance floor its green, cos john can't control that whole area and its chaos.

The reason the chose the puppy’s death to be the trigger (rather than the wife’s) was that they wanted the audience to have no remorse for the people John kills. They thought that if it was a human, people might not be okay with all the murder, but because it was a puppy, the audience would be rooting for John.

*This film pretty much set the tone for how action movies are made. John Wick should just be a genre*

It's an interesting dynamic in this movie that the villains fear the protagonist instead of the other way around and it's not about overcoming the villain it's about the journey of revenge

The John Wick movie series is irrefutable evidence that Hollywood is capable of making new movies with original characters.

Honestly, I loved this movie, one of those that came out of nowhere and blew me away. Only watched it because Keanu was in it, but the whole setup got me hooked, the idea of a society governed by their own rules and living along side the rest of the world is just perfect. I'd give it a solid 10!

When John asks how much weight Francis has lost and Francis says over 60 pounds, he was actually asking him how many men were inside the building and also so Francis wouldn't get caught exposing intel.

"Well, I mean I am very impressed so far with the fight scenes, but we have seen Keanu......WOW! THAT WAS HIS NECK!"

The doctor treating John Wicks wound was the same actor that played the keymaker from The Matrix Reloaded lol

What I love about John Wick is the way make the protagonist scary. Usually the antagonist is the scary one but in these movies, the antagonist shits themselves at the protagonist.

You guys were talking when he nodded to the doctor to turn off her life-support. The puppy dragged himself to John, if you look closely, you can see the pawprints. Make the arrangements means arrange the funeral for his son. At the end, it wasn't just a Vet, it was a kill shelter, and the puppy was due to be put down the next day. John Wick was supposed to be a down and dirty movie without any CGI or embellishment. Should have given it at very least a 4.5.

Breaking the foundation of his new life, the basement floor, in order to re-enter his old life, the weapons and coins. Also, when he asks Francis how much weight he lost, the number Francis tells him is how many guards are in the building. Poetry, I love it.

KEANU ACTUALLY TRAINED WITH PROPER GUNS AND LEARNED DIFFERENT MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE ROLE TO MAKE IT LOOK SO REALISTIC

I personally think it makes more sense to view the coins almost like favours as opposed to actual currency, because you get more than just tangible items, you get access, shelter if need be, information. They're like a sort of key to the world.

We want john wick 2

I think the way he killed Iosef was perfect. It was not celebrated and showed how unimportant he really was... Didnt even let him finish his sentence nor show his face... so poetic.

Kevin Nash was spared not of professionalism, but because he squealed. When he said 60 kilos, he was saying how many bad guys were in side. for being willing to tell that, Wick let him go

Keanu is legit one of the deadliest man in Hollywood, he legit know's how to use weapons like an expert and is an expert in many different Martial Arts

For sure one of the best beat, shoot, chase movies ever. Best line, "He was the one you send to kill the bogeyman."

If I recall, the fighting style developed for these movies is called gun-jitsu. In the Matrix they had a similar but different style called gun-fu. And I believe both styles where created by the same stunt team. The director of this being a stuntman or coordinator from the Matrix movies. Oh, and yes, do the rest. They're worth the journey.

My favorite moment that relates to John Wick is in the movie polar with Mads Mikkelsen. Similar plot in that he's a retired assassin looking for a quiet life. He lives in a small town and gets a puppy from a pet store, totally setting up the same type of feelings with John wick. That night he's having PTSD dreams and startles awake firing his gun. He accidentally shot and killed the puppy. Lol

I love the John Wick Movies, its still the hardest part to watch was the puppy scene.

"Task your crew." "How many?" "How many do you have?" Not enough…

One of the greatest action movies ever. Was pleasantly surprised seeing this the first time. Crazy good.

A fun fact to know about these movies that is really cool. Colors have meaning. Whenever u see blue color, it means John Wick is ok, when it's red it means bad for John Wick. Then when it's green it's like between good and bad. So depending on the color in these scenes, I know how well John Wick is going. It's a cool touch.

"Man, John Wick is so good at shooting, he doesn't even shoot vertical videos!" - Honest Trailers

This made me a man of focus, commitment , and sheer will.

"Evening, John." "Evening, Jimmy. Noise complaint?" "Noise complaint." I love how Jimmy takes his hat in his hand so John will see that he's holding that and not a gun.

3.5 stars, because it’s low budget? C’mon man that is something that should add points. The ending being a knife fight is because literally they ran out of blank bullets and couldn’t afford more. Keanu’s stunt work, his weapons handling, his acting. The way the build up John wick by having a character say “oh”. They make you fear him before they give details on him. The unique world it’s set in, how assassins are everywhere and have their own system. Their currency, their code, the concept of the continental. The cop…. All these touches that show you how the world in which it’s set is slightly different, and each sequel builds on it. Until you get the mind blowing opening sequence of John wick 3. “Tick tock”

If you like the gun fighting sequences, watch "Equilibrium," starring Christian Bale. In it they train in what is called a "Gun Kata," where they learn to kill as many people as possible from one position, with or without close combat. Cool stuff. John Wick's gun fighting style is reminiscent of that, almost an incorporation of it, for extreme efficiency of movement.

The director fought to keep in the death of the puppy so audiences would feel his pain and anger, and want him to kill everyone that's responsible

I`ve watched this movie more than once and It never gets old. John`s fights are a piece of art. As you said, he dances :))) For me? This is 5/5 every time!!

The last part were he took that dog, if you slow down the video, on that paper it will say “To be put down” Technically john saves that dog 🐕

Two of my favorite lines from the directors (watch John Wick Directors react to the honest trailer [John Wick 2]) "as soon as the camera pans off, the stunt guy gets up runs around the camera and puts on a bandana ready for the next fight sequence, we call it gerbiling" ... Very Mild Spoiler that won't hurt you ... "most movies take this transition between a sequel. Three weeks later, two months later, but for John Wick 2 we just took over when the last movie ended. This guy is just having a bad weekend"

The lighting is great and it served a purpose. John Wick's color is blue, so if he is in blue light it means that someone is fucked if they run into him. It's when the red lighting comes in that John struggles a bit.

The John Wick movies are basically shoot-'em-up video games....AND I LOVE IT!!!!

20:04, don’t know if someone else mentioned but Marcus aimed directly at John knowing the wind would force his shot away. Notice the wind blowing his hair before he shoots…

I enjoy the John Wick movie series is a action movie series that shows realistic scenes because characters are shown reloading guns multiple times except for the 3rd movie, John getting harmed including stabbed doesn’t just quickly heal and same for other characters. Also the fights are realistic because characters bleed, messed up hair, bruises, etc.

As a Swedish person myself it's very easy for me to hear that the man playing Viggo (Michael Nyqvist), his accent is very Swedish in tempo and tone as he speaks and not Russian, yet he's had many roles where he's depicted as such. That has always been a little bit amusing to me. I guess it's not as easy to pick up on if you're not very familiar with the Swedish language though, and It's really the only tiny bit criticism I can give, because the man was a brilliant actor and writer. Sadly he passed away on the 27th of June back in 2017. R.I.P Michael

I love the interactions between John and Jimmy the policeman in part one and two.

Awesome movie! 5/5 The Bouncer Francis - when John states "you'v lost weight", Francis reply "over 60 pounds" was referencing the number of guys inside John was going up against. So many details in this movie, impossible to catch all of them first time.

I love how they show you have to reload.. Keanu’s gun work is magnificent ❤️

Fun fact Eva Longoria gets producer credit because she put some money into it. She didnt even know what the story was about lol

The fact that the only other thing I remember seeing John Leguizamo in before this was 'The Pest', and the Super Mario Bros. movie is a damned crime. The scene where he grabs the gun and holds it to his head is intense af.

Old man that shows up with the other guys to do clean up at JW's house in the beginning,..is the same actor in the movie "The Warriors." ..."Warriors, come out and play-ay!" Classic!

That scene in the club is more awesome cause Keanu had a 104 fever and was sick as hell but he didn't want to stop the filming.

5:40 I think, with its last strength, the dog crawled over to him while he was unconscious, then died. That's what that trail of blood is. Truly heartbreaking.

Someone on another reaction video noted that Viggo served his son, Iosef, the bottom shelf crap vodka in a cheap glass and even though he poured himself one, he never drank it WITH his son. Viggo just puts it back on the bar. Viggo punches his son, goes behind the bar, and then pours himself top end vodka in a top end glass and drinks it by himself. That's how low he thought of his son at that point.

Kevin Nash said in an interview that him saying he lost 60 kilos was code for how many people / guards were in the building, and that's why John let him live

The "Oh" is such a great moment.

I can't believe that Keannu has like five different iconic roles to his name and 2 seperate highly successful franchises and yet people want to call him a plain actor.

... when John walks down the stairs w/ the sledge hammer and starts on the floor ... John is digging up his past ... you can feel his anger ... the SHEER RAGE ... and Viggo knows that ... and knows nothing will stop John ... NOTHING !!!

Fighting with guns action sequences? React to Equilibrium, a Christian Bale movie. Plot is a little bit like V for Vendetta.

One of the great thing about the filming is the continuous shot as oppose to multiple cuts, so you can feel the hit. something very prevalent in Jackie Chan's films too

I love the whole proud look on dave the whole time!

i can always rewatch this movie. blows me away it's already 10 years old, time has truly been disappearing

The henchman who threw John Wick was Agent Johnson from Matrix Reloaded

The puppy crawled over to him before it died to be close to him. That's what triggered me. It's the only film I've ever watched that I had to pause and take a break to calm down.

I'm a big fan of how Viego is just losing himself through the movie with his choice of numbing substances, starting from that high-end alcohol, skipping the health drink before diving into the weed. I love that trope of the henchman letting the hero go into the place they're guarding. I get nice reminders of the Batman cartoon where a goon Batman beat up earlier leaves him alone after finding and then telling another goon that he found nothing before heading home.

The soundtrack of this movie and all other John Wick movies is out of this world... makes you feel the tension!!

Gotta be worth more than 3.5/5. Has he ever given anything a perfect score? Also absolutely a yes on John Wick 2 & 3. Great reaction guys 🤙

My favorite part of this movie is the scene with Francis (Kevin Nash) and not just because it is a funny scene, but they were actually talking to each other in code. When John asks how much weight Francis lost, Francis replies 60 lbs. But if you listen he said kilograms, when he spoke in Russian (because of the metric system). 60 lbs. is 27 kilograms and there were 27 guards watching Iosef inside the club. John wasn't asking about his weight, he was asking Francis how many people he would potentially have to kill. I believe John asked Francis in code, because he saw that Francis had his earpiece in, so just in case Francis' radio was transmitting. This was confirmed by Kevin Nash in an interview.

When that pup died I dont think I've ever been as invested in a characters revenge in my entire life.

Keanu is an absolute beast in these movies, he totally owns this charecter.

When I first saw this it took me a solid 3 hours to stop sobbing over the puppy. It was so heartbreaking for so many reasons. I have to skip that scene every time I see this movie. It’s too sad.

I usually don't like the dynamic of one person having seen the movie. But you guys do it right. New sub.

“Did you see those coins?” Hard to miss guy

This movie is always kinda hard to watch as its Michael Nyqvists last big movie as he passed 2017 of cancer and he was a huge and beloved Swedish actor and it was so fun to see him in the role of Viggo

Since you asked, the "John Wick drink" is Blanton's Single Barrel. I believe he switches to Blanton's Rye in the second film, but that's the only bottle that's shown when John pours his own drink.

One of the best modern day action series

According to director's commentary, Keanu Reeves had a fever of 104 degrees while filming the night club fight sequence in John Wick

Everyone knows AND LIKES John Wick. His super power is friendship.

Fighting with guns...Gun Kata from "Equilibrium" 2002 movie. "The Accountant" is another good one.

"You can always save the world, but never the one closest to you" "You can't be a superhero and have people close to you" ... Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ? :D

The body guard that goes toe to toe with Wick was one of the agents in the matrix.

I love the respect that that 7 foot monster shows him

First time watching the channel, one of mu favorite action movies, several reasons why: the action sequences are truly revolutionary, Keanu Reeves is a perfect casting, the highlighting of "the code" is always a good element if done properly and this is done most properly, the cast is excellent, just a great story. Hard to watch the puppy get taken but that really sets up the rest of the movie. Love your channel, really appreciate that you're not dripping with profanity which I find very distracting. Just a great bunch of guys watching a movie. Love it. Subscribed.

The Raid films after the John wick movies.

The Great thing is how good at acting the guy John Wick was after is from what I've heard people on the set of the film said off set he was one of the nicest people you could meet.

Wow! Surprised Quinn has never seen the John Wick films 😮 The puppy moment was so sad, it was cool the fear everyone had when they found out his name, Keanu Reeves is great actor & was cool to see Alfie Allen & Kevin Nash too! Enjoyed all your reactions to this & also the extra clips at the end too! 😊

Great reaction, you all are really funny! Even though I FF thru the puppy scene now, I've still watched this movie a dozen times. Never gets less cool. 😎

Why am I so upset that y’all didn’t realize they didn’t kill the puppy, but she crawled over to be with John and THEN died. 💔

I know someone else has probably already stated this, but the "dancing" with guns, is called 'Gun Kata'. Gun Kata was coined in a movie called equilibrium released around 2002, and is an offshoot of Gun-Fu, popularized by film maker John Woo. Although Gun Fu and Gun Kata are modern movie gun-fight choreography styles... there is SOME basis in reality and the style has been used in highly stylized eastern action movies for a very long time. It has also, incredibly become its own ACTUAL martial art in years since because at close to medium range, with lighter weapons, it does work to a scary degree against multiple close range assailants. The reality of the emerging art of gun kata, is that it is a form of close to medium range gunplay, where you don't aim properly, but instead aim your arm/hand at where YOU would be the most vulnerable/present, were you to be in your opponents shoes. (Essentially you shoot where you'd punch if unarmed) You are supposed to forget you are holding weapons and instead envision the gun as an extension of your own arm, much like you would wield a katana.

They get the cutest little beagle and decide to kill it off instantly… my heart absolutely broke when I first watched this movie

22:44 is the best. After playing it cool for so long, the monster finally reveals himself 😂 love this scene.

1. When John fights Viggo he draws the knife in to "stab" himself exactly where he had already been stabbed. 2. Of course you can't stop - JW 2 and JW 3 are "must watch" movies.

Keanu was professionally trained to shoot with different weapons by Taran Tactical so he really developed this skills,they also went for the realism to the point of counting the bullets and reload so it is accurete,they created very detailed underworld that gets revealed more and more in each movie with it`s rules like Continental being safe grounds and the place the coins take etc so you don`t just watch for the action but to understand the world they are in. Markus couldn`t say no because for sure he would`ve been shot so he doesn`t contact John

this revenge story is told hundreds of times but john wick's execution is what makes it above of the rest. john wick is a proof that you don't need to be super original with the concept, just make it good.

Nope...he's a goddamn superhero...an anti-hero, maybe, but a superhero nonetheless. By the 4th movie, he will have destroyed the entire criminal underworld. Something even Batman couldn't accomplish...and the Underworld in JW is WAY more dangerous (but also more civilized) than anything in any comic series.

On the puppy question, the closest I can think of is "Of Mice and Men."

10 years have passed, still my favorite action movie. Very worthy successor of matrix

I’m really impress when Kevin Nash walked away he didn’t tear his quad.
