@JessAndTess The dog wasn't a puppy at the end of the first film. This is set immediately after the first. That dog was scheduled to be put down and John saved him.
The shotgun is a Benelli M4 using 12-gauge solid steel slugs (armor piercing). The rifle before that was an modified AR variant with steel receiver instead of aluminum for less chance of failure in high fire combat situations, chambered in 7.62. Fully load rifle and shotgun, with all the extra ammo, weighs about 40 to 50 lbs.
I like how he prepared for his mission. He knew the kind of man Santino was and that Santino would turn on him, like he did. He also knew that Giana’s men would be after him too.
A fantastic detail of this franchise, is that every gun has an on screen capacity Every shot fired is logged from the gun that fired it, so this shows the need for reloading. Im the Piazza, Winston quietly and discreetly showed a glimpse of just what kind of power he weilds. John is not dead because Winston " Deemed It Not To Be..." Then Winston gave John his Marker, which may be relevant later on,
In shots and scenes that involve mirrors, they use CGI to remove the reflections of the cameras and crew. It's also kind of a flex when you have these complex scenes involving mirrors. This is used in many movies and not just with mirrors, sometimes they use it on character's eyeballs, other shiny or reflective surfaces, water, etc.
Fun Fact: The manager of the Continental in Rome was the original Django (Franco Nero). Quentin Tarantino even gave him a cameo in DJANGO UNCHAINED in a scene with Jamie Foxx.
I just love the fact that EVERYONE yelled, "THE PENCIL!!!" when the movie gets to that part their first time. It happened in the theater, it happens at every watch party, it never fails to happen! 😂
*also glad you got subtitles this time! :D * Oki the trivia bit - the Sommelier (Peter Stefanovic) - an actual, professionally trained position in Fine Dining / High Cuisine. The big necklace is a tastvin - literally for tasting wine(my spelling is probably rusty..) , and a symbol of their position. Basically master's degree level of not just encylopedic wine knowledge, but also pairing wine with food - they share a prestige level with head chefs in many places and are pivotal in helping create and set the menus by selecting Wines to match each dish. The Rome Continental's one just happens to also specialise in weaponry.. :P
The reason why John shot the sister is because he needed a proof that he was there and also, there is a chance that she could survive that cutting so he made sure.
She asked John if he feared damnation, this was alluding to him not being in heaven with Helen but also to her suicide preventing her from entering as well. So, John ever the gentleman held her hand and shot her before her pulse stopped so she would not see the shot coming and would not die by suicide.
John Wick, 1, 2, and 3 take place over an approximate 3 week time frame. The car was always that colour and initially John wanted back for the letter, later in the continental show we find its got a much longer history and meaning. If I could make a suggestion, stop talking during important dialog or hit pause, during the roof top discussion you both talked over a large portion of explanations and within 5 mins asked questions to which the answers were given by the characters.
I love how in these "John Wick" movies......one could be the biggest pacifist on the planet, but if you have a heartbroken spouse and a murdered puppy......well, the demand for blood and vengeance drives people to the edge. Makes perfect sense to me. I've heard that dog #2 is actually Keanu Reeves dog. You'll see WAY more bad-ass dogs in the 3rd movie. The behind the scenes stories about the actor and "her" dogs is pretty amazing.
I realize you've already watched half the JW films, but watch how John holds his weapons. He's utilizing a real life tactic known as Center Axis Relock (CAR) or rather, it's not exactly CAR, but similar to it. You can see it when he's testing the guns during the tasting in Rome. The video game Splinter Cell Blacklist uses this tactic with protagonist Sam Fisher as well. CAR allows for close quarters "gun fu" combat when space is limited and helps with weapon retention in a struggle.
Basically, Santino helped John in his "impossible task" that was mentioned by Viggo in the first movie. The one that laid the foundation of what they are. In exchange, John gave his blood to Santino in the marker that he could claim anytime. John wick's world is about owing someone.
This may be controversial. But I think the Marker is a blood 🩸 covenant 📑. It cannot be refused. Just like Sofia in 3: cannot refuse John. This really pisses 😡 her off. That's why she shoots him, spits in his water bottle 💦. The symbology of the marker: Skull 💀, because you get killed if you refuse it. And it centers around DEATH ☠️. Pretty metal 🤘😑🤘if you ask me. John Wick has religious undertones: As the white 🤍 room in the Museum, represents Limbo (Dante Alighieri). The red ♥️ room w/ mirrors, represents Hell (the Inferno 🔥). John goes underground: the elevator ride, into Hell to battle his way to above ground: Earth, Midgard as the Norse would say. He's like Hercules: half human/half God. He survives: the stabbing, twice🩸. The fall from the: Rooftop Garden 🌳: Olympus. Winston is his father: Zeus. He says: goodbye Son in John Wick 4. And "This kingdom is mine, mine alone: Olympus, the Continental. ⚡ Winston wields John as a blunt instrument. Viggo is Ares, the God of War 🩸. John is a sword 🗡️ in Winston's hand: Explains why he's so loyal to Winston, his father, and why Winston: shows him grace 🌷. 1 hour before execution. Charon is the: boatman in Greek mythology. His second dog is Cerberus: a Hellhound 🐕. Viggo's red shirt ♥️ represents War, blood 🩸 and death ☠️. Not sure who Iosef is: have to look into it. Marcus: Iolaus. The Adjudicator is a Valkyrie: an agent of death ☠️. Hence all the black 🖤. The high table would be: the counsel of Olympus. Hera etc. Not sure who Sofia represents or that Japanese dude from 4. Or Caine for that matter
.. But she was already dead ☠️. He shot her in the head 🧠. So Santino would say: He delivered the final blow. Like Dutch Van DeLinde jumping off the cliff. Edgar Ross grabbed: John's gun and emptied it into Dutch's body. So they could say: John Marston killed Dutch. Completing their agreement.
Appreciate it! We try to walk the finest line we can when editing to show as much without making youtube mad. It makes the editing take a lot longer, but hopefully makes the videos better!

Jhon Whick tattoo has a couple of meanings, you will see one of them in the upcoming movies, but the latin words are Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat which means Fortunes Favors the Bold.
32:09 that's actually John's weakness remember he also got hit by a car in the first one thats why he got tied up by Viggo Along with the club, john getting hit by a car is the re occurring thing in the franchise
Not sure if it's in John Wick 2 or 3. But I thought: because of the Ballet 🩰 academy/Assassin school. Black Widow (2021), Red Sparrow (2018) and John Wick could all be in the same Universe 🌍. Like Hitman: a world of Assassination 🧤+🔪+🩸 I just realised why John is so fluent and graceful: Because he's a Ballerina 🩰
@The new spin-off film THE BALLERINA starring Ana De Armas is coming. She's playing the ballerina that Anjelica Huston had dancing on the stage in PARABELLUM until her feet were bleeding.
I don’t know if anyone told you, or you found out, but the first 3 movies take place within a week and a half. The 4th movie is like a few months later.
The mustang is the same color, nothing is changed. The Russian boss in the beginning is the Devil in Constantine, starring Keanu. The doctor in these movies was the Key Master in the Matrix franchise. When they show up to pick up his car they hadn't told John (the mechanic) they had destroyed it. His reaction was real.
Santino told you what the marker was for that John gave him. You talked over Winston telling John the TWO rules you must always follow, John is also called the ghost. You still don't know why John shoots them in the head. (Could be bulletproof suit). How ever good reaction.
The suits cost about $50,000 for one capable of stopping rifle rounds (Threat level IV). Trained soldiers or operatives would never attack in more than 5 together so you can't kill then all together in full auto fire or explosives. Professional killers usually work in 3 to 5 men teams even if you have 100s. If not one grenade would kill them all. John's riffle is capable of full auto but because they are small groups he has to fire in small burst of 1 to 3 shots to kill them and not run out of ammo. 77 kills on JW1, 128 kills in JW 2, 94 kills in JW 3 and, 140 kills in JW4 439 total all films.
If you get hit in any area that matters with that suit on but a rifle round you are probably going to die or be severely injured. Cloth does not absorb the energy from a rifle round well. You need armor with plates in it to protect you from a rifle round. (not cloth)
Oh the tattoo "FORTES FORTUNA ADIUVAT" (there are some variations) it's latin for "Luck favors the bold". The road Tess is referring to is the roman forum, it was a marketplace, some time later a political center, more or less 2.600 years old.
@@JessAndTess Yes, nobody knows but the Colosseum is actually usable, well maybe for concerts and not gladiators but it needs to be paved and would be good to go. Tons of stuff is still standing but our gov. sucks so bad it wouldn't spend a cent to restore any of it. How cool would it be to have your favorite band doing a gig in the Colosseum??!
I too wish Marcus (Willem Dafoe) never died. Aside from simply loving his character, I completely agree that they would have been fantastic and super cool them fighting together. Though in my personal opinion, he would have been probably the only one capable of stopping/talking John down from shooting the scum in the Continental. Which would have prevented the 3rd movie from happening lol. Also the supressors would be a lot louder than that. All those people in the subway would have been able to hear them shooting back and forth at each other. Only super small rounds like a .22 are super quiet. But even those can still be heard pretty well depending on how far away you are. PS. The Dumb and Dumber clip was priceless 😂 It had me laughing hard🤣
ONLY a SUB-sonic round will be quiet and with that only in a closed chamber, not a gas or recoil operated semi-automatic. (bolt, lever or pump action would be MUCH quieter)
That rooftop is in nyc at Top of the rock at the Rockefeller and that church u seen is call St. Patrick's Cathedral if u remember the first Spiderman movie with Toby Mcguire when the building was coming down and he save the girl and land in a Garden
At the end you wanted to know more little things about these movies. There are clips on YT you can look up and watch Keanu preparing for this movie. He trained with Taran Tactical, one of the top academies. The said the amount of work Keanu put in over a year ended with him in the top 15% to 20% students. (they train FBI, Special Forces and the like) The reason this matters is the long fight scenes are Keanu and he is so skilled them can film a long single take with no cuts because it is all him actually doing these actions. (it's like a dance)
John like most highly trained close quarter combat specialist prefer to use the Mozambique drill it involves to shots to chest and one to head to minimize the risk of passing an enemy that can shot or injure you as you pass. This is very effective to eliminate a target and move on focused on next targets without dividing your attention or focus on downed targets.
Yep! We want to finish the movies before diving into it... also, not sure how we want to handle series' on the channel. But it's definitely on our list!
"I know why people like these films..." The guy who directed them (Chad Stahelski) along with the guy who essentially co-directed the first (David Leitch) were former stuntmen who co-founded a second unit/stunt studio called 87Eleven (now 87 North). Their mission statement seems to be an alternative to all the "shaky cam"/quick cut stunt directing that dominated the action space from the early '90s onward. Very clean and easy to follow. It's pretty easy to spot an 87Eleven/North production just from the stunt style alone. Leitch has gone on to direct some of the big action films of the last 10 years (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train).
Santino used an ARWEN 37 less-lethal 37 mm launcher using incendiary grenades. The rounds fired would burn the house down, but the concussion blast is exaggerated for effect in movie, unless it ignited a gas line in initial magnesium burst.
The coins have no actual monetary value. Only what they could be melted down for. They're symbolic currency. Nothing more than tokens. All 4 movies take place in the span of about 14 days. John Shot D'Antonio because like D'Antonio said. He has nothing left, really. And he knows that like with King, if Winston acts against D'Antonio, then the uppers will go after Winston. So, he's effectively making himself a target to save his friend/mentor, and willing to forfeit his life for that.
Guys I...ok let me start with my little moment with THE Keanu. In Rome all actors stay at the "De Russie" hotel in city center, i live 1 block over. it was 2 maybe 3 AM when nobody's around. I was returning home after a brutal MTG game and I see him in front of the hotel with a cigarette in his mouth searching his pockets for a lighter. At that point I approach him asking "need a light Mr. Reeves?" and I did some smalltalk with him, just the time of a cigarette, two perfectly normal human beings to be honest, didn't ask for fkn selfies or else. I just forced him to keep my bic lighter. He didn't want to, out of kindness, but i insisted for him to keep my damn 1€ lighter, which he did. And that's my little story. Returning to the tusk at hand.... how a guy saying CIAO can be russian? it fuckin says in the subtitles [IN ITALIAN] well, i paused, let me resume and oh, by the way....Ciao.
Audio isn't too great. We can't hear every detail. We each have 1 earbud in, and the volume low so we can hear each other. Cool story about Keanu though!
@@JessAndTess hahahaha thank you! Actually a very, very kind normal guy. I wasn't even out of my mind in the moment, it was... well I met Keanu Reeves, we had a cigarette, that was cool. Looking forward to the next 2 chapters reactions!
"The Pope should always be worried". People are always after the big hat. The mirror scene is a nod to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon ending Final Boss fight, only the had to position the cameras out of reflective view manually and not by CG editing.
Every main city in the world has a Continental, The High Table is the governing body of John Wick's world, the gold coins you see are the main currency of this world
Which is used in the US Military. Which is more than likely a clue that John has served in the military. More specifically the US Marine Corps. But I don't think it has been officially confirmed yet
Everyone always thinks John cut the guy at the subway station in the junk. Understandably but he actually slices the femoral artery, which runs along the inner thigh close to the groin. This is why there is such a big splatter, because it is a major artery. I'm sure not many people care, but maybe someone will find the fact a bit interesting.
Some of us have studied a little bit of biology and just assumed it was obvious what happened there. I appreciate you pointing this out for anyone not familiar with or just not realizing what had been done.
@@JessAndTessIt also gives insight to his past. That line is common with the US Military. Especially the US Marine Corps. I don't think it's been officially confirmed but a lot of people think John used to serve in the Marine Corps.
John let common live by letting the nife in him like he did with fishburn profecional cortesy and the mute girl he took the nife out so she was gonna die
58:22 "I can't imagine them getting better. There's not much room for improvement here."
John Wick: "Hold my beer."
👀
You mean "hold my pencil" or if it has to be drink since we seen bourbon is his choice.....
Or, how John always so eloquently puts it, "Yeah."
"so she mute?" .... i don´t know .... "PERFECT WOMAN" !! ... my bro you just got savage jajajhajhajhajhajhjhahja

That's one of the things we like about these movies. It's cool seeing someone just smarter than everybody doing cool stuff
A fantastic detail of this franchise, is that every gun has an on screen capacity
Every shot fired is logged from the gun that fired it, so this shows the need for reloading.
Im the Piazza, Winston quietly and discreetly showed a glimpse of just what kind of power he weilds.
John is not dead because Winston
" Deemed It Not To Be..."
Then Winston gave John his Marker, which may be relevant later on,
The tattoo on the back of the John Wick spelled FORTIS FORTUNA ADUVAIT means FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD.
In shots and scenes that involve mirrors, they use CGI to remove the reflections of the cameras and crew. It's also kind of a flex when you have these complex scenes involving mirrors. This is used in many movies and not just with mirrors, sometimes they use it on character's eyeballs, other shiny or reflective surfaces, water, etc.

it's so good!
He didn't actually kill anyone in the taxi place because he didn't want to be "That Guy" and he wanted to go back to retirement.
Didn't notice that. They got that got whipped into the steel beam by getting hit by the car might think he's back to being "That Guy"
'Gun-Fu' and 'Car-Fu' - Chad Stahelski is a genius.

There is a fan theory that Winston is John Wick's father in law thats why is protecting him
Its the same dog, do you really think John Wick would just wait a few months before getting his car back...?
The timeline for the entire John Wick series is within a week I believe. This movie takes place less than 36 hrs after John Wick 1
Hi folks nice reaction. Don't forget the TV miniseries called the Continental. About its origins and how Winston became the owner.

The guy who directed them (Chad Stahelski) along with the guy who essentially co-directed the first (David Leitch) were former stuntmen who co-founded a second unit/stunt studio called 87Eleven (now 87 North). Their mission statement seems to be an alternative to all the "shaky cam"/quick cut stunt directing that dominated the action space from the early '90s onward. Very clean and easy to follow. It's pretty easy to spot an 87Eleven/North production just from the stunt style alone. Leitch has gone on to direct some of the big action films of the last 10 years (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train).
We gotta add those movies to our list!
John nevet named the dog because he didnt want to become attached to him it would hurt if something happened to him
Santino used an ARWEN 37 less-lethal 37 mm launcher using incendiary grenades. The rounds fired would burn the house down, but the concussion blast is exaggerated for effect in movie, unless it ignited a gas line in initial magnesium burst.
The coins have no actual monetary value. Only what they could be melted down for. They're symbolic currency. Nothing more than tokens.
All 4 movies take place in the span of about 14 days.
John Shot D'Antonio because like D'Antonio said. He has nothing left, really. And he knows that like with King, if Winston acts against D'Antonio, then the uppers will go after Winston. So, he's effectively making himself a target to save his friend/mentor, and willing to forfeit his life for that.
Guys I...ok let me start with my little moment with THE Keanu. In Rome all actors stay at the "De Russie" hotel in city center, i live 1 block over. it was 2 maybe 3 AM when nobody's around. I was returning home after a brutal MTG game and I see him in front of the hotel with a cigarette in his mouth searching his pockets for a lighter. At that point I approach him asking "need a light Mr. Reeves?" and I did some smalltalk with him, just the time of a cigarette, two perfectly normal human beings to be honest, didn't ask for fkn selfies or else. I just forced him to keep my bic lighter. He didn't want to, out of kindness, but i insisted for him to keep my damn 1€ lighter, which he did. And that's my little story. Returning to the tusk at hand.... how a guy saying CIAO can be russian? it fuckin says in the subtitles [IN ITALIAN] well, i paused, let me resume and oh, by the way....Ciao.
Audio isn't too great. We can't hear every detail. We each have 1 earbud in, and the volume low so we can hear each other.
Cool story about Keanu though!
@@JessAndTess hahahaha thank you! Actually a very, very kind normal guy. I wasn't even out of my mind in the moment, it was... well I met Keanu Reeves, we had a cigarette, that was cool. Looking forward to the next 2 chapters reactions!
You guys should watch Man on Fire
Original (Scott Glenn) and the remake (Denzel Washington).
The best part is they do get even better.
"The Pope should always be worried". People are always after the big hat. The mirror scene is a nod to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon ending Final Boss fight, only the had to position the cameras out of reflective view manually and not by CG editing.
🤣
I don't think John cared that the car was destroyed he just wanted to card in the glove box
the Continental is a spin off on showtime i believe
The suit is bullet proof the gold coin only to pay the secret of the Red society underground❤ jhon wick is the baba yaga
YEAHHH....Thank you.
chapter 3 - 4 are crazy!!!!!
Can't wait to watch them. Tess got pretty sick so it delayed our schedule a little bit, but they are coming soon!
@@JessAndTess ah ok.. get well soon...
Dog's name is "NO" haha
Wait... are you serious?
John wick 1 and 2 take place within 2 weeks of each other.
'That poor car!' ...saw what you did there.
🤣🤣
Every main city in the world has a Continental, The High Table is the governing body of John Wick's world, the gold coins you see are the main currency of this world
That’s common the rapper the one who was fighting John Wick the ball head guy that was giving John wick a challenge
They were in STREET KINGS together going at each other, too.
Most car shops do leave them in the visor.
By John Wick 4 the bounty on John is as high as 26 million
I'm looking forward to the reaction to John Wick 3 and 4, I'm sure you'll like them😊
Looking forward to making them! So far so great!
Next one! 😂
Working on it! Too many good movies... not enough time to edit 😭
20:03...they already mentioned why John gave Santino the marker, it was to help him leave the life he was leading so he can be with his wife....
Yeah, we were more interested in how.
Jess, you are quite intuitive 🙂👍
👍
John Wick chapter 3 movie 🍿 reaction please my friend 💓💗💞💖🤝
It's on the way! We loved the first 2, so we can't wait for chapter 3. Make sure to subscribe to be notified when it goes live!
JW2 is my favourite movie in this franchise. Great reaction.
So far it's ours too!
American psycho is definitely unique enough to be worth a watch
Great idea! We haven't seen that.
His back tattoo is Latin it says “fortune favors the bold”
Which is used in the US Military. Which is more than likely a clue that John has served in the military. More specifically the US Marine Corps. But I don't think it has been officially confirmed yet
Everyone always thinks John cut the guy at the subway station in the junk. Understandably but he actually slices the femoral artery, which runs along the inner thigh close to the groin. This is why there is such a big splatter, because it is a major artery.
I'm sure not many people care, but maybe someone will find the fact a bit interesting.
Sounds better than getting stabbed in the chode
Some of us have studied a little bit of biology and just assumed it was obvious what happened there. I appreciate you pointing this out for anyone not familiar with or just not realizing what had been done.
The entire series is goated
So far so great!
I honestly can't pick a favorite, I just take it as one big story. If I recall correctly the producers say that all 4 take place over like a week
Btw there is a TV show focused on the Continental. I believe it takes place before John wick 1 but I don't know for sure and I haven't watched it yet
if you cut deep enough. and hit an artery. less then 30 seconds.
'He looks so familiar.' He has a really common face...
ha nice😏
Jess thought it was Common, but wasn't 100% sure he even knew who Common was lol
@@JessAndTess You two are correct with Santino it indeed was italian they were speaking when at John’s house
Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat is latin for "Fortune Favors the Bold" or some other variation of that quote
Thanks!
@@JessAndTessIt also gives insight to his past. That line is common with the US Military. Especially the US Marine Corps. I don't think it's been officially confirmed but a lot of people think John used to serve in the Marine Corps.
The dog is his real life dog
Cassian is the rapper Common
the pencil scene tho
😬😬
The coins really have no monetary value, they are used in exchange for goods and services
John Wick 3 and 4 are just as good too
For me, the women staffing the switchboard give off a "aged out of the SuicideGirls website" vibe. Definitely all the tats.
💯
It's common
my sentiments exactly w/ jim carrey looking bloke
'Sharing that information freely.' Except for the deaths of the informed.
John let common live by letting the nife in him like he did with fishburn profecional cortesy and the mute girl he took the nife out so she was gonna die
No it was never black car is same color
Guess you gotta watch the third John Wick, lol.
Absolutely! Can't wait!
COMMON
It is Italian santino is italian
their in public why doesn't anyone notice? answer it's new york city we mind our business and keep it moving.
🤣
