    I know it's a bit after the fact, but a bit of feel good trivia about this movie. In the scene where John gets jumped by Josef and his boys, the actor playing the thug who killed Daisy was so upset by the scene that he apparently spent several hours just holding and petting her, and even adopted her after they finished filming the scene. She's apparently still around and quite happy with her family.
    So, a bit of comfort, in a meta sense, anyway.

    My favorite detail: The end shot of him walking off with the dog is the same spot his wife collapsed at the start.
    This movie is one of the best examples of "show, don't tell" filming. So many details are just demonstrated like it's
    simply part of the world and the audience is drawn into the world building figuring out the significance of things
    like dinner reservations, the gold coins, the rules of the Continental... zero exposition. Great way to get a viewer invested.

      She ceased to be a member of the Continental when she fired the first shot at John. Therefore, she had no right of protection. If John didn't need info from her, I think he'd have shot her on the spot and claim it as self-defense. HOWEVER - that fact that John Wick is an assassin aside, he does seem to have a code of conduct for himself. And that code includes the idea that if he offers to spare someone in exchange for info, and the other person complies, he keeps his word.

    It should be noted that Keanu trained heavily for the role. He is now an expert marksman who does speed shooting competitions and the like He uses his gun in the way it was intended (as opposed to being flashy and inaccurate), and reloads in the middle of fights. The realism is a nice touch to the choreography choices. He also gets rather beat up in this role.

    One of my favorite scenes is with Francis the tall guard outside the club. I found out later that there was actually subtext to that scene. John asks Francis if he lost weight and Francis responds with 60 pounds. Since Francis is Russian what he actually said was 27 kilograms, which is 60 pounds, but John wasn't really asking about Francis' weight loss. He was asking in code how many guards were in the club and there were 27. That's part of the reason John let him go.

    John spared Perkins because she gave him information. With the exception of Viktor (who was part of Daisy's killing), he spares anyone who gives him information. Francis tells him there are 27 guards are in the club ('27 kilograms' which the subtitles translate to 60lbs making that one really subtle). Perkins tells him about the stash. The 'priest' opens the security gate. John even spares Viggo in exchange for Iosef's location. The unspoken part of "Do you really want to die here, Perkins?" is if she 'gives him something' he won't kill her. It's a one-time deal, but they all take it because they all know that's how he is.
    Amusingly, Francis is probably the sole survivor of Viggo's entire operation because he walks away and stays gone.

    Coby he broke into a vet clinic to treat his stab wound. The dog he chose had a sign on it's cage door, that he was due to be put down. So John took him. He couldn't kill the girl at The Continental (hotel) or he could have suffered the same fate as she. Strict rules - no business on the grounds. They did keep track in each movie of John's kills. This one I believe was 77. Nice reaction! Subbed.

    When I first heard Keanu was doing a movie called John Wick I thought about the movie John Q which I wasn’t too keen on but when I heard the premise of the film I had to watch it. I mean a guy out for revenge cause his car was stolen and his puppy killed. The thing that makes these movies so good is the accuracy of it. They reload when they use a clip. There no unlimited bullets in a clip. The director being a former stuntman for Keanu Reeves has made this movie so great. He knows when a double is needed and when Keanu can do it himself. The only time he didn’t do a stunt (or action scene cause he says he isn’t a stuntman) is when he and the director decided that even a seasoned stuntman would get hurt bad doing it. The club fight scene Keanu had a high fever and still did it. They did use a stunt double on the fall off the club balcony and used the flashing lights to hide to switch. 25:40 the thing though they can’t do business in the hotel. The hotel is supposed to be a safe zone for everyone. I think that Willem DaFoe’s character and the Continental staff were working together cause they gave John the perfect room for DaFoe’s character to watch over him. 30:24 they want him to suffer. If they put a bullet in his head then he’s dead and there’s no suffering over what he did. 40:06 the dog he chose was scheduled to be put down so since he was getting a second chance at life he gave that dog a second chance.

    It was fun watching your reaction.
    And yes, John took the knife in the existing wound. And yes, it is a move called "Sheathing the Sword". Risky, but if you force the stab into a non-fatal spot then your opponent's weapon is out of play for your response attack (or in this case taken and used as the response attack).
    It is a high risk desperation move, but, effective.

What's more, they may have shown mercy, but she killed the other guy without even a contract in place. They were going to kill her no matter what.

This is why he's the boss, feared and respected by his men...he's actually quite dangerous and committed. His need to confront John directly may end up being a mistake in the long run, but its necessary to remind everyone who is in charge around here and is true to his character. You see this again during the end sequence where he is having a great time during the chase scene and then doesn't hesitate to challenge John himself.

    Generally, in a multiple attacker situation, there is an alpha who is the one that leads the fight. The others may take a few cheap shots, but they generally don't get in the way of the alpha. If the alpha is defeated, it is possible a new alpha will take over. Sometimes, however, if the alpha is defeated, the others will tend to back off. There is a wide spectrum of cowardice to bravery in the crowd surrounding the alpha. So there might be a good number of the crowd that are only feeling a false sense of bravery as long as the alpha (the one they are looking up to to carry the fight) is still standing. Obviously, this isn't 100% for every situation, but it is common. Hope that answers the multiple attacker question somewhat.

      @@victorayala9541 Wrong. There are plenty of clues given in the movie to clarify that self-defense is permitted.
      First, Wick gave Perkins a choice "Do you wanna die here, Perkins? Give me something." Wick wouldn't have made that threat if he wasn't able to follow through, and Perkins wouldn't have conceded if she knew he couldn't do it. She didn't even protest.
      Second: Charon asked if Wick needed a dinner reservation, a service that would've been denied him had he broken the rules. Wick said he would let him know, indicating that he hadn't decided to kill her or not. Again, there was no warning or protest given.
      Third, Harry (who knew both Wick and Perkins, as well as knowing the rules) was surprised that Wick was willing to "catch and release" someone who had tried to kill him.
      Plus, it's ridiculous to suggest that self-defense wouldn't be permitted. The logic behind the rule is that if the intended victim doesn't kill you, the hotel management would. Basically saying you're screwed regardless of whether or not you're successful.
      Wick demonstrated throughout the movie (throughout the whole franchise really) that he would let people live if they helped him. Francis, Perkins, the Priest. He let her live for that reason.

    Love a woman who knows her Mustangs! This whole series is built upon a love story, but it's also about the tension between order and chaos.. John was a force for order, until Iosef introduced chaos to the situation. That's why Jimmy doesn't have an issue with the dead bodies in John's house - he knows John kills a LOT of bad guys. I expect John's final scene in the Mustang does not have Daisy in the car - because I suspect he's been thinking about just... not hitting the brakes. Until Daisy arrived, his life was empty.

    You asked why they didn't kill John the instant they had him incapacitated it's actually pretty simple. Most people on earth, these guys especially, have egos that often lead to downfall. It is almost like posing to take selfies with the final boss while it's still barely alive before you finish him off. This is actually INCREDIBLY common for humans.

    What's great about this movie is how it adds a twist to the good guy vs bad guy action movie. Usually the main bad guy is an arrogant prick who finds out the hard way they screwed up before they die at the end of the movie. In John Wick when we first meet Viggo he's already on the defensive because he knows his son screwed up big time and no matter what he does to protect him his son is a dead man.
    The reason why John doesn't kill Viggo after he gets free is that he needs him to call off the contract on his head.
    The cop arriving at John's house after the failed attack is symbolic of the real life relationship between the mob and local cops. The mob wanted to keep a low profile to do their illegal business and not involve innocent outsiders. So the local cops looked the other way (after taking bribes from the mob). The cops also knew the mob policed themselves so they knew if a mob member broke mob rules or harmed innocent outsiders they would get wacked and their bodies disposed of so that they would never be found. So the cop knew what John did in the past and when he saw some of the bodies he knew the were from the mob and there would be a clean up crew to remove the bodies, weapons and evidence.
    I would recommend watching the movies Goodfellas and Casino that are based on true stories of the mafia in the US.

  • @stevedavis5704

    If you steal some then you are a rule breaking thief. If you destroy it you are sending a message. A single person in a fight doesn’t have to worry about who you strike out against. If you are part of the group you have to be careful to not hurt your people. Viggo wanted to save his son but he had enough respect for John that he wanted to contain the damage and not kill him out of hand. But when you do kill you try to make it an example graphic enough that the next guy thinks twice before crossing you again. They try to not just kill people right and left or you draw attention from the authorities which is bad for everyone. It’s all about rules and following them. It might have been said before but the dog John took was scheduled to be put down that day.

  • @LongandWeirdName

    You may not like action movies, but... When you see someone kill a dog... You WANT the violence.
    Edit:
    John gave Vigo a certain and relatively quick end. An injury with a blade as short as ones pinky finger behind the left shoulder blade nicks one or more major blood vessels. Internal bleeding slowly fills your chest cavity with blood and is 100% inoperable. Not even the world's fastest surgeon with the best gear in the world can be fast enough to fix you.
    By plunging the blade into himself, Wick also changed the balance of strength with the knife. Instead of using his biceps and triceps, Vigo only had the strength of his forearm, while John could now use his biceps and triceps to twist it out of his hand. And yes. He did it where he was already injured. The muscle around that area was already more or less minced meat. He increased the bleeding a bit, but it was a good trade.

    Quick note, the doctor in this series is in the Matrix series as well.
    ==
    There is conjecture by a lot of long time viewers that it was likely that John's wife was a veterinarian.
    The note she wrote accompanying Daisy mentions the car in such a way that it implies she gave it to him.
    She gave him a dog. There are any number of things she could have given. At the end John knew where he could get what he needed to fix his wounds. As he and the new dog are walking away they are walking where John's wife collapsed.
    Great reaction lady. I can't wait to see the rest from your viewpoints.
