    Daisy was played by Andy.
    Andy was chosen because of how brain meltingly adorable he was. The directors went after the most adorable dog they could find and insisted killing Daisy was necessary to the story, fighting producers who were against killing the dog. The producers fought it all the way to testing and finally gave in to allowing the killing to remain in the film when they saw the way the test audiences reacted. The directors knew what they were doing, that it would allow the average person to set aside guilt over what John would do for the rest of the film. It would help the audience empathize and cheer rather than feel more conflicted over the titular character.
    Andy got to walk on a few red carpets with the rest of the stars and apparently gave out some paw-tographs to some very eager fans.
    Even though it was just acting, the actor who (pretend) killed Andy really struggled with it. Every time they had a cut, he picked up Andy and held him.
    Andy had his time in the spotlight as a youngster, got to come visit Keanu and friends on the set of the Third film, and is now apparently happily in retirement.
    Not long after his stardom in the first John Wick film, Andy found his forever home and was renamed 'Wick' by the children of the forever family who adopted him.

      The choice of Andy as the dog was from a USA Today interview where the directors themselves spoke about it.
      Plenty of pictures of Andy on the red carpet if you do a quick search.
      There are multiple cast/crew interviews where they talk about the actor having a tough time with the killing scene.
      I don't remember where it was published, but the information about Andy being adopted was from Andy's trainer. The trainer personally knew the adopting family.

    I’ve seen this movie and it only just now stuck with me the final scene when you had asked how John knew there was a kennel there. John knew where it was because in the next shot, he’s where his wife collapsed at the beginning of the movie. They would have had to walk past the shelter, and (myself theorizing) that may also be where she bought the dog for him.

      And the end scene where he stabs himself in order to break Viggo's arm... he already had a stitched up wound there, so he wasn't really doing much additional damage. He merely re-opened the existing wound, then stapled it up a few minutes later. Small detail, but it shows his skill in quickly assessing damage versus reward and doing what needed to be done to win the fight quickly.

      Hehe...
      This movie is made by stunt folk... and as far as I've heard, the actors they've cameo'd were all actors who were like "oh hell the stunt crew? They make ME look good, I wish t'hell I could do a tenth of what dey do" (and in many cases devoted part of their own salaries to them) over the years.
      So these guys (and gals but mostly guys) get together and say "we want some of the old school action movie stuff, today. We're all painted out, or replaced with CGI, and yet we STILL take the hits on the day and get less and less respect. We're people of focus, of commitment!"
      They made John Wick. A mortal god, a normal man with aimbot, a man who doesn't take anyone's shit because he's got so many No. 2s that he kills people with them. He's a reflection of them. It's also part of why incoming vehicles aren't part of his jutsu, his peripheral only sees fists and bullets.
      Jokes aside, most stuntmen are de facto martial artists of great skill, and their very job demands they endure pain. Like John, they get beat to pieces and get up repeatedly to finish the job.
      So these people, these hard ass crazy people, create this character and world that's a very respectful salute to their profession and the actors who have respected them...
      ...they take this man John, and go...
      "...so how do we ACTUALLY hurt this man?"
      They take away the only woman he has ever loved and has loved him, and the last gift she left for him in an attempt to save his soul.
      So the next time you wonder what real men are?
      They're the folk who love their family and their f*cking beagle puppies, and they WILL kill for both.

    When John said the guard looked like he lost weight, he was giving the guard an out by giving him a method of indirectly helping John. The guard TOOK the out and said he lost SIXTY pounds, thus telling John that there was Sixty guards working tonight. John couldn't just come out and ask the question because the rules prevent the guard from outright helping someone like John no matter what the circumstance is but this roundabout method gives the guard deniability. As a thank you and a professional courtesy, John lets the guard go and tells him to clock out early. Its just another great example of the subtle world building at work in this film.

      I'm confused. Why do you say it "breaks every screenwriting rule." One rule is to grab your audience's attention with something exciting at the start, and one way this is done if the first events (chronologically) aren't exciting enough is with a flash forward. (Another rule followed is to get your audience to root for your protagonist early by, for example, having him "save the cat" -- or, in this case, by having an antagonist kill his puppy.)

      Flash-forwards have been used to great effect in a number of great movies and tv shows. Flashbacks, on the other hand, are usually considered a little bit hacky because they've been super overused and used poorly, and that's why beginning screenwriters are often warned against using them. The "showing the morning routine" issue I've never heard though I can imagine some screenwriting teacher might consider it cliche... BUT, like anything else, there are no hard and fast rules to screenwriting or storytelling. You do what's right for the story you're telling, period. If you know how to use flash-forwards or flashbacks properly and not as a crutch, there's nothing wrong with using them. If the morning routine is drawing a contrast between the action scenes around it and adding dimensionality to your character and/or world, it serves a purpose.
      Not sure where your "screenwriting rules" are coming from but any great writer will tell you that rules are there to be broken... as long as you're breaking them for a purpose and not simply because that's what other movies do or because you can't come up with a better way to communicate exposition. The "rules" are for beginners. Pros know when and why to break them.

    The first time I watched this movie I laughed my a** out. Here is the reason. There was this 80's argentinian show, in a sketch in which an mediocre actor was in a reception room waiting to sell an idea for a movie. Episode after episode there was changing the details of it. There was a man in his home/in a picnic/traveling etc with his whole family. Then appears a bunch of "Hell Angels" on their bikes. Then they tie up the man, rape his wife, his teenager daughter, sometimes his mother, others his little son. He stands stoically until they kill the dog or sometimes they scratch the tango vinil that was being played. Or he just snapped when one of the guys put a finger inside his birthday cake. Then he can get untied and became a vindicating Charles Bronson killing them all, sometimes pursue them a whole year, five years. Tie them up, and rip a pocket of the boss' jacket, scratchs the vinil they were playing. Or wait to the boss' birthday to get even with his cake. All these came to my mind at once.

    I firmly believe that this movie raised the standard for action movies. Before John Wick, we had to watch movies that had shaky cam and multiple cuts and angles for one scene. Then John Wick came in and had long, fluid, highly choreographed fight scenes that you can actually follow. On top of that, Keanu spent months in training to properly handle and manipulate all the firearms used and combining that with his martial arts training to make "gun-fu". I truly believe these movies changed the action movie genre for the better and set a much higher standard for them. So good.

    I thought the same thing as you Natalie, about the dog. But it wasn't really about the dog. It was the principal of the thing, he didn't go on a murder spree over a dog, but the fact that they killed his dog over a car, and that it was a living gift from his dead wife, whom he gave everything up for, he loved her more than anything.
    Also I'm a big fan of Lance Reddick, and of course, Keanu Reeves, and of course, Ian McShane. Both Lance Reddick and Ian McShane were on American Horror Story, fun fact. Lance Reddick was Papa Legba, and Ian McShane was the killer santa on AHS: Asylum. But if you need a very good good series to add to the list of show to watch, I would suggest, Fringe, and AHS, if you haven't already watched it. I haven't watched American Gods yet, but it's on my list. I just got around to watching GOT, so I don't rush into anything.

So when the 2nd or 3rd came out, I really didn’t care that much, and the story is no longer there, he is just someone who goes on rampage killing people for nothing. Even the first story make no sense to me, a very rich kid wants to show he is a gangster by stealing someone’s car and killed a puppy? Like, which part of it makes him worth more as a gangster, you can hire a boost team to get the car whenever he is outside, or just boost another similar car, or buy the damn car from a collector.
