The most badass fact in this scene is that: The messages are sent without John WIck's image that means John must be badass enough for a whole underworld to know about him
I love the fact that when the message about the contract goes out and all those people in the continental lobby get up to make their move there are about six people who don't move an inch.
True. At the end of this clip [at about 3:15] there is a scene where we see the assassins at the Continental get the notice of the seven million dollar bounty on John Wick. Almost all of them immediately get up and leave to do whatever they need to do to collect the bounty. There is about six people who don't. I'm guessing they're saying to themselves "John Wick? Nope."
Well yeah. It's like a punk rock 50s style. Those things separate are fucking horrible, but put them together and it looks damn good. aliesno, don't try to pass off your insecurities on me.
I love how D'Antonio tried to be clever and intimidating and John just hung up on him. It really shows that Wick is about brutal efficiency and taking him to task for his BS.
Yeah I love that too. Santino said it best himself, "never one to waste words". And John sure as hell never does. No point telling him he'll come kill him, or how he feels etc. Hanging up makes it very clear where they stand.
@@Xtrendence Yeah that's why I really like these movies the fact that it hasn't been Hollywooded meaning that usually the person stands there listing out their reasons as to why they are going to kill them and why they hate them so. Still, each time John kills someone he has been after in these movies it's never a long drawn-out "you fked me over" it's quick straight to the point gone. I think the fact John doesn't say a word makes it more impactful when he explains to Viggo why the dog was more than just a dog and when he kills Viggo's son no explanation no nothing just a shot to the leg to immobilize him then right up face to face so he can look him in the eyes as he shoots him in the head just straight determination to take out his target and nothing more it's way more realistic than if we had a 5 minute back and forth between Viggo's son and John about why John is so pissed off he killed his dog and stole his car before ending him.
@@larrymace2361 100%. Not even letting Viggo's son finish his sentence. John's very clearly someone who really only gives the time of day to people he respects or cares about, he literally doesn't even bother with people like Viggo's son, there's just no point in a conversation. He's not going to convince John, he has nothing to offer, so at that point it's like it's already decided, why waste time hearing him out?
Considering John's reputation, I'd imagine at least half the assassins who got that message (most of which we likely didn't see) probably took one look at it and said "nope". 7 million hardly seems worth it given the only sure way to kill John Wick without getting killed yourself would be with a nuke (though he did outrun one on a motorcycle, but that was a different movie). If the bounty was 50 million then he really would have had every hitman on the planet on him 24/7.
50 millions?! What? You think I would throw away my life like that?! 50000000000000000000000000000000000 billions and I might, I say might, take 2 weeks to consider it with 99.999999999999999999999999% chances of refusing it.
At the end of it John got $14 millions bounty on his head. It's like the equivalent you get from the share of fast and furious 5, that's a lot of money
If I was an assassin and saw the bounty was for John Wick’s head, I wouldn’t even load my gun for $50 million. I probably wouldn’t even take the contract if it was $7 billion.
Hell if I was an assassin I would not take that contract, the bounty is way too high. That means one of two things, the first being that the one putting out the contract did it out of personal reasons, the second being that the target is someone you do not want to mess with. And in this particular case its both, that's a bad combination.
well in John Wick's world they have the continental which like a hotel for assassins and clean up crew.. pretty sure they got one life insurance company for assassins and the premium is probably cost around 1000 gold coins for him lol

Honestly it was probably a smart move. If he stayed inside the assassin's would've congregated and camped the building waiting for him to come out. At least out there he stands a chance.

Yeah, but they’re not of the same stature. John was apparently employed by the Tarasov Mob for quite some time, but he may have also done freelance work on the side. Santino was (after his sister’s death) the head of an organized crime group powerful enough to hold a seat at The High Table. It’s effectively the difference between a soldier and a Senator; they live in different worlds for all intents and purposes. In addition, John has a reputation for being a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will. He’s infamous for how relentless, vengeful, and deadly he is. Hell, only just recently stories were flying about how he went on a killing spree over something so trivial-sounding as “a dog and a car.” We the viewers know it was more than that to John, but most people who don’t know John closely wouldn’t understand that. So yeah, he gets favors bc nobody wants to risk getting on his bad side. Few in the criminal underworld would dare to cross him without a damn good reason Iosef was ignorant & foolish Viggo & Caine were trying to protect their children Cassian was trying to avenge Gianna’s death Zero & Winston (and the former’s students) were both forced into acting against John by the Adjudicator Killa was trying to keep John from killing him Perkins, Ares, Ernest, Mr. Nobody, and all the other unnamed criminals who go after John throughout the films only do so either because their bosses order them to or because they want the bounty Only 2 people in the franchise truly and knowingly go out of their way to challenge John: Santino D’Antonio and Vincent Bisset de Gramont. And even they didn’t dare come face-to-face with the Baba Yaga unless they felt the circumstances ensured their safety (Santino when John was bound by the marker or in the Continental, Vincent when the terms of the duel were being decided or after John had already been mortally wounded)
These assassins was waiting for this to happen, that's why a lot of people jumped in the contract and confronted John. Everybody in the underworld wanted be "the next John Wick", you kill the top dog, you become the top dog, crazy increase in reputation and opportunities, not just about the $7 million (although that's not small either).
I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys the seeing moments with "accounts payable" and "operators." I think it's so cool that there is this vast and very busy network of assassins that actually includes a central hub with several employees. I'm not sure if the old tech (like the monitors, keyboards, rotary phones and typewriters) is of any significance, other than implying just how long they've been in operation. I was actually surprised they still used old slide phones--I missed those things!
@@dannyzero692 It's cool, but phone phreaking has been around for a long time, social engineering is often effective, most callers are using cell phones, and analog systems aren't inherently more secure. Analog systems are often worse, but the attack surface is more intuitive, a good example is locks. A pin pad lock with protection against power analysis/glitching (filtering/programming prevents exposing how wrong the pin is by how long it takes to fail or how much power the microcontroller draws, and shorting out the pad/draining the battery doesn't unlock the door), strong magnets (switching motor relays, moving internal components), guessing pins (randomize the digit locations each time to even out wear, block cameras, make the pad tamper evident, don't use your birthday as a pin), destructive entry (drilling, torching...), bad door fitment, et cetera beats a physical key (a U2F token using NFC would probably be even better). Unfortunately most digital locks are cheaply made and use an internet connection for smartphone control, or use some proprietary radio fob vulnerable to repeater attacks.
Could just be an interesting aesthetic choice. We’re used to assassins using super sleek and modern tech, this is something unexpected and unique. Same goes for the tattoos and 50s clothing.
I'd smile too if I was a broke ass assassin, playing violin in a subway line when a I get a text on a Nokia saying there's a 7 million dollar bounty. Wait why would I bother playing Violin at all when I can claim some bounties ...
so an assassin is a street performer in her free time? If assassining pays that little then why the hell do it? I thought the point of crime is getting paid quick
No, she is an assassin in her free time. Every assassin in the movie probably has a job other than being an assassin. You can't really say to people that your job is an assassin would you?
Good news he never had to pay it. Bad news because he never ended up having to pay it he ended up dead before he could really enjoy the power that he set John up for and killed his sister for. He literally spent that week of being a member of the High Table running scared from John
Rule No 1 for any Assassination Association that claims to be Professional is: *Never accept a contract on one of our own* - Rogue Assassins = internal matter, handled internally This helps the Association avoid losing Assassins & maintain a strong bond of professionalism & brotherhood among killers. Hollywood makes the whole business look like a game. By the way there is $7 million contract on you. GL John ^^
Sweet jesus, Samuel. Rule number one about assassins is don't fucking associate. The idea they're unionised, have a global network, and a code of honour is hysterical horse crap.
I love all the supernatural characters sprinkled throughout the movies. Later there is a statue of Kali, there’s Greek/Roman mythic scenes, and the Olympians behind them in this scene. They all hint that John is not a mere man, he is of the realm of gods and demons. He is the Baba Yaga
No ... He is the one you sent to _kill_ the Baba Yaga ... Or as I like to put it " ... and, Lo, I saw a pale horse, and upon it sat John Wick, and Hell followed with him ..." ... $7 million to go after John Wick ...? No effing way. True, I'm a poor man, and that is life changing money for me, but the risk ...? Not bloody worth it ... high risk, low reward ...
Even better that John Wick is a character in Payday 2...and one of his side missions requires you to capture two people alive so he can "question" them about his dog...
The thing that bugged me about this, was the first movie establishes that everyone knows who John is, and they're all a little afraid of him. Even Viggo, who realizes the apocalyptic wrath his son has wrought, but is bound by blood to protect him. Then this text goes out and everyone and their grandmother is ready to try their luck in killing him. Seems like most of them would look at their phones and be like: _"Uh... yeah, no thanks."_
Most of them did look at their phones and said no thanks, the message went out to everyone in the city there would be way more people if everybody heeded the call
You can see Santino take a moment to consider what he's about to do. He's aware of the world of shit he's about to bring down upon himself, and yet he does it anyway.
After watched John Wick 4, the bloodbath and the trail of corpses caused by this little 7 million dare are simply insane 😅 bro probably killed half of Europe’s High Table Forces to get out
@@cawsomeaolin yeah true i understand that, if viggo just let john kill losef and gave his car back. john not gonna distract the high table again and leaving with his retirement. viggo would still alive. i know it hurts alot for viggo losing his son, but in that situation, better lose a tail than losing whole body. the main trigger for john universe is second movie, john already done with his business, but santino approach john and ask him to kill giana his sister to take her throne on high table. if santino doesnt approach john, doesnt ask to kill giana, and appreciate his retirement, the rest of movie wont happen. the rest of the movie happen because john kill santino at continental. so the main trigger (character that lead to this accident) is santino itselfs.
HidetoraToujou I presume normal citizens can book a reservation, it's just that some people pay with the gold coin to have access to everything else that the hotel has to "offer".
I think they have a certain part of the hotel for "Special" guests. Kind of like a high roller table at a casino. Regular guests stay in the main hotel and assassins can stay in the "Special" area. Basically it would be like a premium membership, only instead of a card you have to have a coin and the only way to get a coin is to be involved in the world somehow, so it keeps out normal people and the hotel can say that they have paid for a premium membership to keep those who shouldn't be in out.
I feel like nobody in this universe is normal. At the end of #2 when they're in the park, Winston was a God figure and coordinated everybody around them to stop and go away.
Everyone commenting reactions on the bounty but look at the tube labels at 2:42. There's management, lobby, club room, and other things. ANd then Winston has his own bloody label.
How can you people fail to fucking understand... These cheap phones would be insanely harder to track. You think an actual assassin would use an iPhone? Come on.
@@alvynnjethroevangelista9778 I'm guessing it's to identify that he has a high rank under the table same goes with John Wick because he was a great assassin and everyone he meets knows who he is means that he has earn such a reputation to get an iPhone, I don't know but that's my theory because clearly Winston manages the New York Continental Hotel which would probably take a whole while to get there. Plus the smartphones were probably made to be difficult to track given that these were probably given by the High Table
@@skulldozer1462 Also, not to mention, even though Winston is an assassin, he's also a business man, so that would mean doing jobs with not as criminal elements. For which, having an older phone might be a bit more odd. While having a more expensive phone might show that this is a man who has money and is successful. That is, of course, assuming that the High Table or some other organisation in the assassin world doesn't make some hella firewalled phones.
Imagine if John Wick rode in an elevator somewhere not the continental and met a lone assassin who also received that message. I can only think that he would turn to John, saying "Uh, good luck to you" and shook his hand before leaving the elevator and then wipe his sweat.
Yeah, considering the reputation and respect attached Wick has in this universe, and that fact that the Santino had a lot at stake with inheriting a seat at the high table. it really should have been an Eight figure bounty at least. Didn't the bounty at the end get doubled because Wick killed Santino in the Continental?
With how much the contract became (14 mil) the moment he was excommunicado, I either have to assume there's an upper limit on contracts or the Table covered the money that Santino wouldn't have had in that bounty.
I don’t know which is creepier, an open contract on John’s head where the entire city wants the bounty or the operator(s) knows every assassins phone number to send out the contract.
If the assassins does not give their number to the operators, they can not be updated about open contracts, excommunications, and other important events.
Love the ink on the operators, makes you wonder what it means and why all of them have it, makes me think on what would be required to become a part of this world of super criminals and assassins.
Telemarketer: "Hello Sir how are you? Do you struggle with poor internet connection? For a limited time early our company is-" John Wick: *hangs up* Telemarketer: 😧😥😫😬😑
I just love that there's tattooed baddies working in like some underground accounting office. Like even the older lady was probably a baddie back in the day lol
Most don't realize it, but John Wick doesn't only go after d'antonio because he tried to kill him, but also because he broke his phone. It's somewhat like the last one Villain trys use power over John to take something from him, and in the process unknowingly destroys something that would seem to have less significance, but actually means the world to him (John).
He blew his house up, didn’t honor the mark, had John kill his sister then acting like he didmt have anything to do with it then he lit a contract on him and hid in the continental
When you live as an assassin take someone life to enjoy a year or more. If you taking John Wick Bounty! you live as a Legend Killer or A Nobody in a Grave..
@The_guy_that_brake_checks_ Jerkoffs I'm aware of what's going on, I was asking why he thought healthcare means John would die. You do realize Obamacare (ACA) is healthcare right? You're demonstrating your ignorance if you think Obamacare requires funding. It was a mandate that required people to get private insurance. "Funding" makes no sense in this context.
@The_guy_that_brake_checks_ Jerkoffs I corrected you, then you respond with something irrelevant, then you pretend you knew all along? You are very immature.
He just fuckin' hangs up. What a baller move. Coldest shit in the whole franchise. Honestly 7mil seems low even to take out a normal fellow assassin, let alone a legend.
in john wick 5 they should add a scene where villen keeps 30 million bounty on john wick and tom cruise and jason Bourne get the Messege. they just keep the phone away. jason goes back to sleeping and tom cruise continues washing the dishes knowing it's not worth it

And even they didn’t dare come face-to-face with the Baba Yaga unless they felt the circumstances ensured their safety (Santino when John was bound by the marker or in the Continental, Vincent when the terms of the duel were being decided or after John had already been mortally wounded)
That shot of Santino standing before statues of Hercules and the Olympian gods while he contemplates what he's done is so freaking good.
These assassins was waiting for this to happen, that's why a lot of people jumped in the contract and confronted John. Everybody in the underworld wanted be "the next John Wick", you kill the top dog, you become the top dog, crazy increase in reputation and opportunities, not just about the $7 million (although that's not small either).
Never thought about it that way, clever insight
I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys the seeing moments with "accounts payable" and "operators." I think it's so cool that there is this vast and very busy network of assassins that actually includes a central hub with several employees. I'm not sure if the old tech (like the monitors, keyboards, rotary phones and typewriters) is of any significance, other than implying just how long they've been in operation. I was actually surprised they still used old slide phones--I missed those things!
Very secure wired non hackable computer network
old tech = almost impossible to hack
@@asmerX100 you can’t hack into internal analog systems that only has one way digital connection outside, its very cool.
@@dannyzero692 It's cool, but phone phreaking has been around for a long time, social engineering is often effective, most callers are using cell phones, and analog systems aren't inherently more secure.
Analog systems are often worse, but the attack surface is more intuitive, a good example is locks. A pin pad lock with protection against power analysis/glitching (filtering/programming prevents exposing how wrong the pin is by how long it takes to fail or how much power the microcontroller draws, and shorting out the pad/draining the battery doesn't unlock the door), strong magnets (switching motor relays, moving internal components), guessing pins (randomize the digit locations each time to even out wear, block cameras, make the pad tamper evident, don't use your birthday as a pin), destructive entry (drilling, torching...), bad door fitment, et cetera beats a physical key (a U2F token using NFC would probably be even better). Unfortunately most digital locks are cheaply made and use an internet connection for smartphone control, or use some proprietary radio fob vulnerable to repeater attacks.
Could just be an interesting aesthetic choice. We’re used to assassins using super sleek and modern tech, this is something unexpected and unique. Same goes for the tattoos and 50s clothing.
*Winstons checking his phones*
John wick, Open Contract, 7 Million
Winston : heh, good luck with that
Haha
It's a way saying "heh they sure can kill him"
His month and day look like America style
7 million is exactly they want John go to the hell and fucking High Table like black man Akoni
I thought it was more of a "The poor bastards" look, knowing that some of those who recieve that message are going to try, and die.
holy shit, I never noticed but at 4:00 there is a nod at Payday 2
wakey aaron just noticed too bro
ty for that! :D
wakey aaron oh nice, is Payday actually part of the John Wick universe?
griz312 idk, but that would be pretty interesting
griz312 Well, John Wick is a playable character in Payday 2 right?
I'd smile too if I was a broke ass assassin, playing violin in a subway line when a I get a text on a Nokia saying there's a 7 million dollar bounty.
Wait why would I bother playing Violin at all when I can claim some bounties ...
that is a Nokia 8800
it is more expensive than iPhone
maybe she was doing a job
No one probably hired her. Seems like there are different kinds of contracts there, OPEN is free for all and maybe extremely rare.
so an assassin is a street performer in her free time? If assassining pays that little then why the hell do it? I thought the point of crime is getting paid quick
No, she is an assassin in her free time. Every assassin in the movie probably has a job other than being an assassin. You can't really say to people that your job is an assassin would you?
Side note: That was the best villian monologue cutoff I’ve ever seen .
Really that's very cool 😊
Imagine paying $7m just to sign your own death warrant...
Good news he never had to pay it. Bad news because he never ended up having to pay it he ended up dead before he could really enjoy the power that he set John up for and killed his sister for. He literally spent that week of being a member of the High Table running scared from John
you could see how powerful Winston is at 2:40
No specific name for the people at the high table, but a specific tube just for Winston
Rule No 1 for any Assassination Association that claims to be Professional is:
*Never accept a contract on one of our own* - Rogue Assassins = internal matter, handled internally
This helps the Association avoid losing Assassins & maintain a strong bond of professionalism & brotherhood among killers. Hollywood makes the whole business look like a game. By the way there is $7 million contract on you. GL John ^^
Sweet jesus, Samuel. Rule number one about assassins is don't fucking associate. The idea they're unionised, have a global network, and a code of honour is hysterical horse crap.
ah come on man just...okay? Just for once just...okay?
iMangifiesta rr
the smart assassin would go for the second highest contract now that everyone's distracted by John Wick
I love all the supernatural characters sprinkled throughout the movies. Later there is a statue of Kali, there’s Greek/Roman mythic scenes, and the Olympians behind them in this scene. They all hint that John is not a mere man, he is of the realm of gods and demons. He is the Baba Yaga
No ...
He is the one you sent to _kill_ the Baba Yaga ...
Or as I like to put it " ... and, Lo, I saw a pale horse, and upon it sat John Wick, and Hell followed with him ..." ...
$7 million to go after John Wick ...? No effing way. True, I'm a poor man, and that is life changing money for me, but the risk ...? Not bloody worth it ... high risk, low reward ...
it's more like the gods are observing santino and passing judgement on him.
@@nigelftYES
3:29 Man... What a beautiful shot
Only now did I notice the clown masks from the game PAYDAY in the background. 3:59
Even better that John Wick is a character in Payday 2...and one of his side missions requires you to capture two people alive so he can "question" them about his dog...
THE CLEANERS: Damn, We have to work overtime
4:01 are we just gonna ignore the bridge between the payday gang and john wick universe
That shot for the thumbnail made me melt when I watched it for the first time. It's rare to see beautiful, artistic action movies.
The thing that bugged me about this, was the first movie establishes that everyone knows who John is, and they're all a little afraid of him.
Even Viggo, who realizes the apocalyptic wrath his son has wrought, but is bound by blood to protect him.
Then this text goes out and everyone and their grandmother is ready to try their luck in killing him.
Seems like most of them would look at their phones and be like: _"Uh... yeah, no thanks."_
Maybe because its freakin 7.000.000 and they know how those operator works, they know others assasin are after john Wick too.
Most of them did look at their phones and said no thanks, the message went out to everyone in the city there would be way more people if everybody heeded the call
@@creartivesstudiohq Bro it's 7 million dollars, that's a lot of money plenty of people would still give it a try
@@AiRPasternakcan't spend the bounty when you're dead
Good point. However, he was off duty for a while. And new blood always comes in :)
the moment he puts down the phone without saying anything to you its a sign for you to get fitted for a coffin
"14 million is a lot of money"
"Yeah, so was 7"
When John hung up the phone. John knew Antonio will immediately raise a bounty on Mr.Wick's head . Him checking out of hotel shows he have balls .
damn this be like gta 5 when a bounty get put on you everyone be thirsty just for 9000k
@@matthew-oc5oe 7 mil*
@@matthew-oc5oe Oh didnt even notice
tbh i would kill someone for 9 million
If John Wick hangs up on you, ITS OVER 😂
Convincing all the assassins around the world to hunt down John Wick is a smart way to take out a lot of assassins.
You can see Santino take a moment to consider what he's about to do. He's aware of the world of shit he's about to bring down upon himself, and yet he does it anyway.
After watched John Wick 4, the bloodbath and the trail of corpses caused by this little 7 million dare are simply insane 😅 bro probably killed half of Europe’s High Table Forces to get out
all because of a dog and a car, understandable tho if it’s your dead girlfriend’s dog but still it’s pretty funny
@@cawsomeaolin yeah true i understand that, if viggo just let john kill losef and gave his car back. john not gonna distract the high table again and leaving with his retirement. viggo would still alive. i know it hurts alot for viggo losing his son, but in that situation, better lose a tail than losing whole body. the main trigger for john universe is second movie, john already done with his business, but santino approach john and ask him to kill giana his sister to take her throne on high table. if santino doesnt approach john, doesnt ask to kill giana, and appreciate his retirement, the rest of movie wont happen. the rest of the movie happen because john kill santino at continental. so the main trigger (character that lead to this accident) is santino itselfs.
@@cawsomeaolinWife, not girlfriend.
I swear while this part was playing a notif came up on my phone lol Instantly Checked XD
When you talk to John, and John talk much too. He is giving you a chance. But when you talk and he keep silent you know you gonna die
I would love to have seen someone look at their phone and just laugh and say "No thanks, I choose life"
The soundtrack made this scene so epic and perfect
La Vendetta
I wonder can normal guests stay at this hotel? If they call to book a reservation, are they always told they're full?
HidetoraToujou I presume normal citizens can book a reservation, it's just that some people pay with the gold coin to have access to everything else that the hotel has to "offer".
HidetoraToujou the rooms themselves are probably normal. But the bottom floors are for personal matter that only accept gold coins.
I think the entire Hotel is normal. They don't want any suspicions. The underground is allowed only to people with gold coins
I think they have a certain part of the hotel for "Special" guests. Kind of like a high roller table at a casino. Regular guests stay in the main hotel and assassins can stay in the "Special" area.
Basically it would be like a premium membership, only instead of a card you have to have a coin and the only way to get a coin is to be involved in the world somehow, so it keeps out normal people and the hotel can say that they have paid for a premium membership to keep those who shouldn't be in out.
I feel like nobody in this universe is normal. At the end of #2 when they're in the park, Winston was a God figure and coordinated everybody around them to stop and go away.
Everyone commenting reactions on the bounty but look at the tube labels at 2:42. There's management, lobby, club room, and other things.
ANd then Winston has his own bloody label.
Of course.
He's the guy who went against high table and still kept his chair.
Winston makes it clear to the Adjudicator in JW3 that he isn't any big fish in a small pond
1:05 - "Oh boy, here I go killin' again!"
This scene encapsulates what I think makes John Wick stand out from other action movies. The style, mystique, just beautiful.
Thanks for your lovely words Care and support my lovely fan where are you located
and the music
instead of generic violin and trumpet music they got fckin amsterdam techno music lmao
How can you people fail to fucking understand...
These cheap phones would be insanely harder to track.
You think an actual assassin would use an iPhone? Come on.
Ave Satanas Luciferian hail satan!
why would winston use one?
@@alvynnjethroevangelista9778 I'm guessing it's to identify that he has a high rank under the table same goes with John Wick because he was a great assassin and everyone he meets knows who he is means that he has earn such a reputation to get an iPhone, I don't know but that's my theory because clearly Winston manages the New York Continental Hotel which would probably take a whole while to get there. Plus the smartphones were probably made to be difficult to track given that these were probably given by the High Table
@@skulldozer1462 Also, not to mention, even though Winston is an assassin, he's also a business man, so that would mean doing jobs with not as criminal elements. For which, having an older phone might be a bit more odd.
While having a more expensive phone might show that this is a man who has money and is successful.
That is, of course, assuming that the High Table or some other organisation in the assassin world doesn't make some hella firewalled phones.
Imagine if John Wick rode in an elevator somewhere not the continental and met a lone assassin who also received that message. I can only think that he would turn to John, saying "Uh, good luck to you" and shook his hand before leaving the elevator and then wipe his sweat.
Aurelio even didn't dare to sent his people to kill John wick, or even he didn't dare to cross a path with him
I love that the payday gang mask are displayed in the end
Poor John. He just couldn't take a break for a while..
Honestly 7 mill seems too low. More like 70 mil would be better.
Not enough money in the world to get stabbed to death with a pencil.
That's what Jackal was offered to take out First Lady
Yeah, considering the reputation and respect attached Wick has in this universe, and that fact that the Santino had a lot at stake with inheriting a seat at the high table. it really should have been an Eight figure bounty at least. Didn't the bounty at the end get doubled because Wick killed Santino in the Continental?
With how much the contract became (14 mil) the moment he was excommunicado, I either have to assume there's an upper limit on contracts or the Table covered the money that Santino wouldn't have had in that bounty.
We all thought Santino had sunk really low trying to double cross John like that. But my boy Santino brought a shovel.
winston is such a good character, his facial expressions tell so much
That violin player is Heidi moneymaker, scarjo’s stunt double in the marvel films
She is Chad Stahelski's wife
If I were an assassin, knew of John Wick's reputation, and got that message, I'd be like "Nah, I enjoy being alive".
3:59 I love the fact they referenced Payday 2 in this shot! I mean, John is part of the gang
Haha, I never realized that they added that cameo in there, nice catch!
From 7 million to 40 million contract 💀💀
Imagine a movie - John Wick, Equalizer & Taken all mashed up together. Body Count = infinite
I don’t know which is creepier, an open contract on John’s head where the entire city wants the bounty or the operator(s) knows every assassins phone number to send out the contract.
If the assassins does not give their number to the operators, they can not be updated about open contracts, excommunications, and other important events.
the background music fits this so perfectly...
I love these scenes with the music and the day to day assassin world managing everything
If you ever think you are stupid, remember there are people out there who think they could take on John Wick.
Love the ink on the operators, makes you wonder what it means and why all of them have it, makes me think on what would be required to become a part of this world of super criminals and assassins.
John Wick hanging up as the antagonist is talking is an underrated gag.
Imagine working as IT Support for that call centre, 1 wrong move could end badly
Telemarketer: "Hello Sir how are you? Do you struggle with poor internet connection? For a limited time early our company is-"
John Wick: *hangs up*
Telemarketer: 😧😥😫😬😑
Only 7 mill? John is worth at least 7 trill
may very well be 7 million worth of the gold coins the assassin use.
It's 14 million now. Even that number seems to be not enough
John Wick is blood money.

Never knew this was a horror movie.
So many dead people looking at their phones...
Most don't realize it, but John Wick doesn't only go after d'antonio because he tried to kill him,
but also because he broke his phone.
It's somewhat like the last one
Villain trys use power over John to take something from him, and in the process unknowingly destroys something that would seem to have less significance, but actually means the world to him (John).
He blew his house up, didn’t honor the mark, had John kill his sister then acting like he didmt have anything to do with it then he lit a contract on him and hid in the continental
@@jacobc4796He did it because he could get away with it.
And he would've, if the person he did it to was not John Wick.

"Yes."
Always come back to see the nice PayDay reference at 4:00. =)

When you live as an assassin take someone life to enjoy a year or more.
If you taking John Wick Bounty! you live as a Legend Killer or A Nobody in a Grave..
I hope John was covered with Obamacare :P
Dhaval Sakaria but then we would die 🤔
That is the same as wishing John Wick extended suffering.
@Spitfire836
Healthcare means he would die? Explain that one
@The_guy_that_brake_checks_ Jerkoffs
I'm aware of what's going on, I was asking why he thought healthcare means John would die. You do realize Obamacare (ACA) is healthcare right? You're demonstrating your ignorance if you think Obamacare requires funding. It was a mandate that required people to get private insurance. "Funding" makes no sense in this context.
@The_guy_that_brake_checks_ Jerkoffs
I corrected you, then you respond with something irrelevant, then you pretend you knew all along? You are very immature.
This scene is soo genuine that is has its own moment in youtube.
I love how everyone gets dreamy eyed about being killed by John Wick.
I can't help but to admire the scenery at 1:23
I find amusing how no Assassin took a long range shot at John Wick ?
He just fuckin' hangs up. What a baller move. Coldest shit in the whole franchise.
Honestly 7mil seems low even to take out a normal fellow assassin, let alone a legend.
in john wick 5 they should add a scene where villen keeps 30 million bounty on john wick and tom cruise and jason Bourne get the Messege. they just keep the phone away. jason goes back to sleeping and tom cruise continues washing the dishes knowing it's not worth it
Fue asombroso; el inicio del climax, la calma que precede a la tormenta.
