Actually, it’s a wine tasting theme. The name sommelier is literally a wine specialist. Throughout the discussion with the armorer he’s using words like “bold” and “tasting” to describe trying out wines. The thing hanging around his neck is a tastevin, used by a sommelier for tasting and judging various wines.
its brings them such joy every time john walks in because, regardless of what he's up to, they are catering to a connoisseur who fully appreciates their wares, not just a killer

@@oddish4352Sometimes a cheeseburger and beer is exactly what is required: while a man of the Sommelier’s…sophistication may have sampled the very finest of delicacies, he is also likely a man who appreciates the right tool for the right job; you would not necessarily want to bring an aged wine and a Michelin-starred meal to a backyard cookout. The true professional would be prepared for all eventualities, as long as the pairing was right.

Well, when John first asks for him at the front desk, he calls him the "sommelier", which is a wine steward employed by very high end restaurants (and hotels). The language between the two of them is intentionally framed as if John were selecting what wines to serve with different courses at a fancy dinner. Same thing with talking to the tailor about formal/social, what time of day, etc, which are all real considerations when you're getting a high-end, bespoke suit.
@@DreemurrTheStreamurr That's what I thought as well but there were no large caliber sniper rifles offerred. What do we know about "robust and precise"?
Peter Serafinowicz is just so perfect in these scenes (the tinge of delight/appreciation over John asking about "dessert"), I have to come back and rewatch them every few weeks.
One of my absolute favorite things about the John Wick movies is how polite everyone is to him. Like when he wasn’t actually carrying out assassinations, he was just a solid guy that made friends with just about everyone he met through the Table. You can tell the shopkeepers even treat him like one of their favorite customers.
John himself is always polite, respectful, and appreciative to everyone he meets in this sub-culture. He remembers everyone by name, from bodyguards to bartenders. He's also very knowledgeable and discriminating about their wares and services. And he never kills without cause, and shows mercy when he practically can. As cold-blooded mass murderers go, he's pretty classy.

What I love about the Sommalier scene is that, if you know your wines, it does follow typical tasting orders. Glocks = lighter wines like Pinot Noir "Robust. Precise." = Merlot or Zinfandel "Big. Bold." = Cabernets or Syrah And that smirk when Wick asks for Dessert. That would be a sherry or perhaps a Port, but few ask for that.
2:02 nice they mention this. body armour is thick for a reason, not just to stop the penetration but also soften impact. his suit will stop the bullet going through him, but the impact will still be painful
Well it should be cause this tupe of materials absorb all the kinetic energy but does not divide them equally and transfer it to the layer below it which is his clothing skin So this given him a feeling like someone has stabbed you with a huge pin
Is it realistic? I'm a novice gun enthusiast with reasonable knowledge in body armor and penetration of cartridges, so when the tailor said "0 penetration, but quite painful" my brow furrowed a bit. Feels unrealistic that at least one asshole in the John Wickverse wouldn't be _the asshole_ that has a golden .50 D.E. or shoots with a .50 rifle at close range (I know I would, 'cause John is _that_ terrifying). So 0 penetration sounds dubious, it will stop the first or handful of first shots but after that? Body armor degrades with use, as any object.
@@Resi1ience Watch one of the final scenes in the 4th movie, when John and Caine remove their jackets. You can literally hear dozens of shells falling off of the _tactical lining_ they're wearing. It's not about "intending" to be shot, in case you haven't noticed.
@@genkureshima9834 I dont think the tailor meant "zero penetration from anything, ever", just zero penetration from the pistol bullets that had just been fired at it in the scene. It becomes less realistic as the movies go on, since by the 4th film the same armored suits are shrugging off bullets without the wearers so much as wincing. I'm a big gun dork too, but it's so clear the John Wick movies were made by very passionate people, at least some of whom were also gun dorks. So I can suspend my disbelief.
The coins aren’t monetary they represent favors almost. He gave him a lot to insure his secrecy. He is handing John the maps for the home of a high table member.
Probably because four services were provided: -a map of the catacombs -an old map of the D’Antonio estate -a modern blueprint of the D’Antonio estate -keys to the estate itself John knows a service well rendered, and he pays accordingly.
what was that coin? and i know such services like intel and military grade armament are super expensive, but what value are we talking about just out of curiosity.
I use Léon logic for this - the skill of an assassin is determined by the last weapon he learns, which is the knife. The pencil is what you learn as a graduate-level elective.
That's because his exact title is sommelier - as in wine steward. And barely anyone thinks to ask for dessert wine, so that's probably a little extra hit of niceties for him from John.
As an admitted firearms enthusiast, there were only a couple great options here. The German Walthers and HKs that John's used in the past are still remarkably capable despite their age, but the Long Slide Glock options currently offer better capacity, and aren't a compromise on durability. Despite the popular myths about their reliability, a reasonable AR15 is more robust than any AK known to man. As the money you spend on an AR increases, so to does the precision it's capable of delivering on target. A rack grade AR is 1-2MOA, but you can get sub MOA AR15s which is hard to beat. 5.56 doesn't mess around inside 200yards even out of an 11.5inch barrel. I highly doubt that they stock cheap rack grade AR15s at the Continental. The rest of the stock I can ID in the wine room are shotguns, 16-20in AR15/10s, and MP5s. The MP5 is a fine weapon, but it's still a pistol; and when you're expecting trouble you want a rifle. If it had been in stock, a P90 would have been an excellent choice as well.Terminal ballistics on 5.7FN are nuts, and a 50rnd magazine is :chefskiss: Something that I think people overlook about this, is that he's getting multiple weapons in case one of them gets damaged or destroyed, or isn't solving the problem. In an ideal world the AR15 would have solved everything. I'd have liked to see more AR15 mags stashed with the M4 in the cave fight before he transitioned to the Benelli. It's REALLY hard to beat the Stoner M16/AR15 design.
@@ChemistyStudent Worth noting that from the sommelier's description, all of those firearms had been custom modified. Undoubtedly top of the line from the start, but then taken to the next level.
@@ChemistyStudentall of the guns are Taran Tacticals which means that they are heavily upgraded and are competition ready firearms. Even that AR’s Trijicon Accupoint retails for a couple grand. That AR is priced at $4500.
What is great about this scene is that it builds character in John Wick. By this point the audience knows that Wick is an experienced killer. Despite this, Wick is still willing to ask the advice of others and take said advice.
I imagine that his willingness to ask for help and advice is one of the reasons he's so effective. Other assassins tend to have a bit of an ego and it always fucks them over in the end.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogleprofessional sports players are some of the healthiest people in the world yet they still use nutritionists, strength coaches, cardio coaches etc etc etc. Same idea :)
The sommelier is my favorite side character in this movie. Impeccable manners, cogent descriptions, but with the relish of a true connoisseur of the tools of death, speaking to a knowledgeable and discriminating client.
Played by Peter Serafinowicz. He also plays The Tick in the recent Amazon live action adaptation. And way back in the day he was the voice actor that dubbed over Ray Park as Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.
If Keanu ever hosts SNL, they should do a skit where he is actually shopping, because I could totally see him being this way for his grocery shopping.. 😂
At Trader Joe's: "I need something for the main course. Something bold, robust, fiery." "I recommend the Orange Chicken, with an accompaniment of Ghost Pepper Rice Noodles. 32 ounces of protein, exquisite sour and sweet notes from the mandarin sauce, 800k on the Scoville scale, enough portions to feed an entire group should you have... more guests than expected."
But he has to be in character as John Wick. I imagine the grocery shopping scene from Mr. Mom. He's asking the deli person what cheese goes best with prosciutto appetizers and a lady behind him is all, "just get bologna, mister." And as he slowly turns around to gives her That Look, a guy from the Continental in the meat department recognizes him and quickly, quietly, fast-walks to check out.
It's a minor point, but I appreciate how in this montage, each Continental service provider has a different style and vibe. The Cartographer is just like this soft-spoken librarian dude, doing his research and rummaging through his dusty archives for the information you requested. The Tailor is all warm and friendly, an unassuming old man whose craft happens to be bulletproof clothing. Meanwhile the Sommelier has this clean-cut gravitas and sort of feels like he came right out of a Bond film.
This along with Andy's escape for Shawshank redemption have become my comfort clips to watch whenever im idle or just need to distract myself, never got tired of it
The gun sommelier, who really stole the scene, is Peter Serafinowicz, a British comedian. Directors like putting comedians in small, but important roles because they're able to bring a lot of life to a character even while given relatively little material to work with. Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul did it with Lavell Crawford and Bill Burr, but then went a step further by making a comedian one of its leads.
I was about to ask if this was Peter S. I knew he sounded familiar but i only know him from "Well, to be honest, Jimmy... I don't think, that's any of your business." Thanks for confirming.
I love how you can feel that each side character has their own story. Instead of finding everything in a single place or through some dealer, each thing has its own unique setup from guns to suits.
This shopping scene is flawless for one reason that later in the movie, John literally uses everything that he got from the rifle, to the pistol and even down to the knife. The detail is crazy.
Im not a gun guy, but I absolutely love this scene and everything about it. Subtle things like John’s speech pattern in some parts reflect how he’s on a mission that he really doesn’t want to be.
I just watched the movie last night for the first time (and #3) and I got that same vibe at that exact part! I thought I was just overthinking it and imagining it, seeing that you noticed it too is so cool- what an actor! Since your comment was cool I thought I would add something interesting about Keanu, My dad used to be a stuntman and he used to always joke about the time he was working on something and Keanu was there, and Keanu just wanted to be around the stuntmen and had so much respect for what they did like as if he wanted to do it himself, lmao my dad thought it was weird at the time because he said the room smelled like a bunch of sweaty stunt dudes and yet Keanu was there practically giddy with excitement, this happened in the 90s, and after watching these John wick movies I thought back to that story and saw it in a new light, he’s just a huge fan of cool stuff like that and now he gets to do it
It's not even code, since the Sommelier straight up says what the guns are anyways. He's just kind of pretentious. But nobody gets anywhere in the John Wick universe without a sense of style.
Not as much code, John is a man of a very few words. He doesn't say something if it isn't needed to be said, same way he kills. He doesn't kill someone if it isn't needed
Just before this scene, John asks Charon if the sommelier is in. A sommelier is someone whose whole job is to KNOW wines. They taste wines, learn the vintage, everything they can know about a wine, so they can recommend foods that pair well with it as well as help a customer find wines to fit their tastes. Notice John asks the sommelier for "a tasting." This man is a sommelier of weapons. John is merely following protocol. He takes his job very seriously, but also notice John's expression and how he says "a tasting." It's almost as if John doesn't care for the act of discussing weapons like someone would discuss wine, but John plays along. He uses this terminology because that's what the sommelier wants, and John obviously respects this man's recommendations. John is established as one of the best assassins in the world, if not THE best, yet he still asks the sommelier for his opinion when choosing weapons for this job. If John Wick is going to ask someone else to recommend a weapon, damn straight he's going to indulge the sommelier's eccentricities. You can even see the level of respect at the end when John asks for a recommendation for dessert. It's as if the sommelier doesn't get requests for knives much anymore, and is pleased that John would ask him for such a detail, when most assassins would probably be happy with any knife.
@@capybara9521 That was English, I just didn't word it well. It should read, "They taste wines, learn the vintage, and learn pretty much everything they can know about a wine, so they can recommend foods that pair well with it as well as help a customer find wines to fit their tastes." Thank you for calling attention to a single mistake I made in a very long post. However, requesting "English please" when all I did was leave out a couple of words in one sentence in that entire paragraph that was clearly English suggests that you're just trying to troll me. So, again, thank you for pointing out my mistake, now go get a life.
Bro they were all good but the dude that was talking about the weapons gets to me evry time. That dude takes loving what you do to a whole another level.
Love the sommelier. His micro expressions and dialogue is just perfect. He really stole the scene. And the line “Our finest cutlery.” Was just Mmm…*Chefs kiss*
2:32 this scene is really enjoyfull to watch, I love his expressions lmao, btw Keanu really need keeps making action movies I love his movies, I cant wait for constantine 2
Why am I suddenly wondering what the Q equivalent would be in the John Wick universe? "Do be careful, Mr. Wick! [yanks contraption out of his hands] This is our latest hybrid weapon - it's a gun AND a knife!"
John Wick, the Sommalier, Taylor, and Architect would be a masterpiece of a film on its own! The actors playing couldn’t have been chosen better! Bravo 👏
I love the Sommelier. I would actually watch an episode or two of just him, going about his daily business. Heck, it might just be interesting enough to watch one season of it; testing out new equipment, placing orders, haggling with vendors, dealing with his elite clientele.
And we definitely need to give a nod of appreciation for the woman running the combat effectiveness test on the suit., The look of intensity on her face for those few seconds, that is somebody I would not want to piss off with a gun in her hand, and you have to seriously appreciate the grouping of rounds that penetrated that suit material.
he's seen escorting Wick into Antonio's office. That's a position of high trust. Antonio wouldn't have a receptionist who didn't know her business right down to the last detail.
I like the attention to detail. For example, when John asks for desert you see the seller step back because the guns aren’t loaded but a knife is a knife.
The scene I laughed at was the description of the body armor. All soft body armor is quite painful to be shot in. Its designed to be like a catchers mitt, catches the bullet but the energy still needs to go somewhere and that place is into the soft tissue of your body, so no penetration but all the bruising.
Basically its the equivalent of getting shot at with paintballs. They're not going to puncture your skin. But it'll hurt like hell and leave a lot of bruises.
@Furion Max not exactly. As he said, the bullet force has to somewhere. And the bullet momentum is much much more than a mere paintball Its not just bruising, but it will cause internal damage, which will probably kill the person
@@Random_dud31 wonder what that says about arrows? Bc in the fourth movie the big main bodyguard got shot in the arm with an arrow and didn't even flinch.
One of my minor grips with John Wick 4 (which is still an excellent movie) is that they seem to forget entirely that the bullet proof suits don't make getting shot painless, they just ensure you'll survive. Everyone with one of them in John Wick 4 has little reaction to the shots deflecting off their suits.
All those personalities that Mr. Wick went to and met, share a similar characteristic. They get excited to offer their service to Mr. Wick. And all of them act professionally.
These scenes are incredible for so many reasons. The acting and dialog are fantastic but also shows the viewers a glimpse of how vast and intricate their organization is.
When the Terminator does tactical shopping, it's about killing the target quickly. When John Wick does tactical shopping, it's about killing the target quickly with style and elegance.
Imagine a T-800 made in the image and likeness of John Wick, programmed with the expertise of John Wick (not in regards of combat data or weaponry, but in regards of opportunities and usage of ordinary items as weaponry)
One of my all-time favorite movie scenes. All of them, their lines were perfect, but the armorer...he did a better job curating John's "menu" than some sommeliers and omakase chef's I've seen!
I'd watch like an hour of John just shopping for new clothes and weapons. Its such a huge departure from the usual badass shootout and kill scenes it's oddly relaxing
i loved the tactical suit in this, because you could tell how much they compromised efficacy for subtlety, he really reeled from every shot he took, always thought is was a bummer how in the late rmovies the tactical suit basically made you invincible
those are my favorite scenes and I love how they speak with both customer and weaponry with elegance and respect. I also love how the armorer and tailer keep within johns interests and or preferred favorites but also show him a different variety all at the same time while staying within his past preferences and faudness of a specific variety being from Germany.
The way he talks about the weapons n knives .. i almost feel like like sayin. ." Yes ill take the benelli m4 medium rare, the ar medium and for dessert, the knives w a little cherry 🍒 on top😅😅😅

Customary comment about sommelier,
He voiced darth maul In phantom menace and played Pete in shaun of the dead
Gunshop had exquisite class, Tailor had beautiful crafting, architecture had wisdom
What I love about the Sommalier scene is that, if you know your wines, it does follow typical tasting orders.
Glocks = lighter wines like Pinot Noir
"Robust. Precise." = Merlot or Zinfandel
"Big. Bold." = Cabernets or Syrah
And that smirk when Wick asks for Dessert. That would be a sherry or perhaps a Port, but few ask for that.
Wow, you do know your wines and guns.
"Big. Bold." = Malbec, Tanat.

I think this scene is so underrated. It is one of my favourite scenes from all of the movies.
Man's so happy Wick asked for dessert. Rightfully so.
You can tell by his reaction, that man loves his dessert.
He's already eaten his meat, and now, he's gonna have his pudding.
@@HeroBot930 I mean .. how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

btw im just joking about this stuff
it sounds dirty minded out of context xd
I love all of them, but the "weapons" guy is so awesome.
"-Mr Wick? Do enjoy your party."
His facial expression is priceless.
2:02 nice they mention this. body armour is thick for a reason, not just to stop the penetration but also soften impact. his suit will stop the bullet going through him, but the impact will still be painful
Well it should be cause this tupe of materials absorb all the kinetic energy but does not divide them equally and transfer it to the layer below it which is his clothing skin
So this given him a feeling like someone has stabbed you with a huge pin
Is it realistic? I'm a novice gun enthusiast with reasonable knowledge in body armor and penetration of cartridges, so when the tailor said "0 penetration, but quite painful" my brow furrowed a bit. Feels unrealistic that at least one asshole in the John Wickverse wouldn't be _the asshole_ that has a golden .50 D.E. or shoots with a .50 rifle at close range (I know I would, 'cause John is _that_ terrifying). So 0 penetration sounds dubious, it will stop the first or handful of first shots but after that? Body armor degrades with use, as any object.
@@genkureshima9834 I suspect John wasn't intending on getting shot more than once or twice.
@@Resi1ience
Watch one of the final scenes in the 4th movie, when John and Caine remove their jackets. You can literally hear dozens of shells falling off of the _tactical lining_ they're wearing. It's not about "intending" to be shot, in case you haven't noticed.
@@genkureshima9834 I dont think the tailor meant "zero penetration from anything, ever", just zero penetration from the pistol bullets that had just been fired at it in the scene. It becomes less realistic as the movies go on, since by the 4th film the same armored suits are shrugging off bullets without the wearers so much as wincing. I'm a big gun dork too, but it's so clear the John Wick movies were made by very passionate people, at least some of whom were also gun dorks. So I can suspend my disbelief.
Based on the value of one coin. John gave the architect like a 5 years worth salary, dude was very proud of his work
The coins aren’t monetary they represent favors almost. He gave him a lot to insure his secrecy. He is handing John the maps for the home of a high table member.
Probably because four services were provided:
-a map of the catacombs
-an old map of the D’Antonio estate
-a modern blueprint of the D’Antonio estate
-keys to the estate itself
John knows a service well rendered, and he pays accordingly.
@@omegaanimations8549 good point
His Keanu side was activated
what was that coin? and i know such services like intel and military grade armament are super expensive, but what value are we talking about just out of curiosity.
"Dessert?" And the man's face is just like "Ah. Johnny boy. I thought you'd NEVER ask..."
The rare Johnny Mnemonic reference.
I use Léon logic for this - the skill of an assassin is determined by the last weapon he learns, which is the knife. The pencil is what you learn as a graduate-level elective.
That's because his exact title is sommelier - as in wine steward. And barely anyone thinks to ask for dessert wine, so that's probably a little extra hit of niceties for him from John.
Peter Serafinowicz is fantastic as The Sommelier. The way his face glows when "dessert" is brought up is classic.
He's simply waiting to reveal himself to the Jedi...at last he will have revenge...
Oh wait, sorry, wrong film. lol
I'm actually shocked that he didn't yell at john that it's 4 in the f**king mornin'! If you don't get the movie reference, you're an idiot.
He uses his Duane Benzie voice
@@IdeaSeekernonsense comment
The face makes tells me he was waiting for him to say that.
Looks like I'm not the only one who excited with armory speech. He knows what John Wick really needs. Dessert?

“I need something… Robust. Precise.”
“Robust. Precise.”
Proceeds to go through all his knowledge of guns in seconds 🤣
As an admitted firearms enthusiast, there were only a couple great options here. The German Walthers and HKs that John's used in the past are still remarkably capable despite their age, but the Long Slide Glock options currently offer better capacity, and aren't a compromise on durability.
Despite the popular myths about their reliability, a reasonable AR15 is more robust than any AK known to man. As the money you spend on an AR increases, so to does the precision it's capable of delivering on target. A rack grade AR is 1-2MOA, but you can get sub MOA AR15s which is hard to beat. 5.56 doesn't mess around inside 200yards even out of an 11.5inch barrel. I highly doubt that they stock cheap rack grade AR15s at the Continental. The rest of the stock I can ID in the wine room are shotguns, 16-20in AR15/10s, and MP5s. The MP5 is a fine weapon, but it's still a pistol; and when you're expecting trouble you want a rifle. If it had been in stock, a P90 would have been an excellent choice as well.Terminal ballistics on 5.7FN are nuts, and a 50rnd magazine is :chefskiss: Something that I think people overlook about this, is that he's getting multiple weapons in case one of them gets damaged or destroyed, or isn't solving the problem. In an ideal world the AR15 would have solved everything. I'd have liked to see more AR15 mags stashed with the M4 in the cave fight before he transitioned to the Benelli.
It's REALLY hard to beat the Stoner M16/AR15 design.
@@ChemistyStudentDon't know shit about firearms so this was very educational ty
@@ChemistyStudent Worth noting that from the sommelier's description, all of those firearms had been custom modified. Undoubtedly top of the line from the start, but then taken to the next level.
@@ChemistyStudentall of the guns are Taran Tacticals which means that they are heavily upgraded and are competition ready firearms. Even that AR’s Trijicon Accupoint retails for a couple grand. That AR is priced at $4500.
Then🤨
There is so much class oozing from these scenes. The writers knocked it out of the park having such a tasteful progression
A classy execution from the deadliest professions.
The expression the armorer has for “dessert” for his fine “cutlery” just shows how maniacal this guy is. A guy who likes it up close and personal
"Dessert"
The last part of the meal, for when you have finished everything else.
A knife doesn't run out of bullets or need to reload.
@@inucune That, and for the dainties you don't always get to enjoy, that you want to have a chance to savor at the end of the night
3:21 "fortune favors the bold"
The way he said "desert" back to john...oh I felt that, man could kiss him. But he's too professional for that.
What is great about this scene is that it builds character in John Wick. By this point the audience knows that Wick is an experienced killer. Despite this, Wick is still willing to ask the advice of others and take said advice.
All of the people he consults are as expert in their specialties, as he is in his.
Yeah elite professionnel babayaga should already know the guns he ll buy but instead he asks for advice
A true professional recognizes the expertise of others.
I imagine that his willingness to ask for help and advice is one of the reasons he's so effective. Other assassins tend to have a bit of an ego and it always fucks them over in the end.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogleprofessional sports players are some of the healthiest people in the world yet they still use nutritionists, strength coaches, cardio coaches etc etc etc.
Same idea :)
The sommelier is my favorite side character in this movie. Impeccable manners, cogent descriptions, but with the relish of a true connoisseur of the tools of death, speaking to a knowledgeable and discriminating client.
That man could sell me a Hi-Point with 10000 rounds through for double retail and I'd be happy about it
Played by Peter Serafinowicz.
He also plays The Tick in the recent Amazon live action adaptation. And way back in the day he was the voice actor that dubbed over Ray Park as Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.
And he sold us the Kitchen Gun!
@@JohnSmith-vk9ds He was also one of the better guests on Cats Does Countdown.
ABDICATE.
If Keanu ever hosts SNL, they should do a skit where he is actually shopping, because I could totally see him being this way for his grocery shopping.. 😂
At Trader Joe's:
"I need something for the main course. Something bold, robust, fiery."
"I recommend the Orange Chicken, with an accompaniment of Ghost Pepper Rice Noodles. 32 ounces of protein, exquisite sour and sweet notes from the mandarin sauce, 800k on the Scoville scale, enough portions to feed an entire group should you have... more guests than expected."
yeah, with the same music.
But he has to be in character as John Wick. I imagine the grocery shopping scene from Mr. Mom. He's asking the deli person what cheese goes best with prosciutto appetizers and a lady behind him is all, "just get bologna, mister." And as he slowly turns around to gives her That Look, a guy from the Continental in the meat department recognizes him and quickly, quietly, fast-walks to check out.
@@JinghisKhanI read that in a voice from the armorer dude 😅
@@AyanovahSame! Someone needs to get this to the SNL script writers.
It's a minor point, but I appreciate how in this montage, each Continental service provider has a different style and vibe.
The Cartographer is just like this soft-spoken librarian dude, doing his research and rummaging through his dusty archives for the information you requested. The Tailor is all warm and friendly, an unassuming old man whose craft happens to be bulletproof clothing. Meanwhile the Sommelier has this clean-cut gravitas and sort of feels like he came right out of a Bond film.
This along with Andy's escape for Shawshank redemption have become my comfort clips to watch whenever im idle or just need to distract myself, never got tired of it
This is such a well-made movie. The cuts, music, acting and overall flow is just superb
The respect John gives. But the respect he gets 🔥
Very much reciprocal, I'd say. These people all know that they're dealing with the very best in their fields.
Respect is like a paycheck on both sides: Earned.
The gun sommelier, who really stole the scene, is Peter Serafinowicz, a British comedian. Directors like putting comedians in small, but important roles because they're able to bring a lot of life to a character even while given relatively little material to work with. Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul did it with Lavell Crawford and Bill Burr, but then went a step further by making a comedian one of its leads.
Comedians are amazing at playing weird stuff straight. The tailor is in real life Kenau's tailor.
He is also the voice of Darth Maul in Phantom Menace.
Also in Pasanger movie
I was about to ask if this was Peter S.
I knew he sounded familiar but i only know him from "Well, to be honest, Jimmy... I don't think, that's any of your business."
Thanks for confirming.
He also was the guy in the kitchen gun TH-cam video
The fights in this movie are insane. Everybody is wearing super strong bulletproof vests, loved that. Great movie
I love how you can feel that each side character has their own story. Instead of finding everything in a single place or through some dealer, each thing has its own unique setup from guns to suits.
This shopping scene is flawless for one reason that later in the movie, John literally uses everything that he got from the rifle, to the pistol and even down to the knife. The detail is crazy.
Don't forget the benelli M4.
@@rossjones5741 Can’t forget that lol.
Chekhov’s armoury
Honestly the bare minimum.
It's like the classic gear up scenes from Rambo and Commando but with much more class lol.
Dessert? And the utter joy on that guys face kills me every time
Im not a gun guy, but I absolutely love this scene and everything about it. Subtle things like John’s speech pattern in some parts reflect how he’s on a mission that he really doesn’t want to be.
I just watched the movie last night for the first time (and #3) and I got that same vibe at that exact part! I thought I was just overthinking it and imagining it, seeing that you noticed it too is so cool- what an actor! Since your comment was cool I thought I would add something interesting about Keanu, My dad used to be a stuntman and he used to always joke about the time he was working on something and Keanu was there, and Keanu just wanted to be around the stuntmen and had so much respect for what they did like as if he wanted to do it himself, lmao my dad thought it was weird at the time because he said the room smelled like a bunch of sweaty stunt dudes and yet Keanu was there practically giddy with excitement, this happened in the 90s, and after watching these John wick movies I thought back to that story and saw it in a new light, he’s just a huge fan of cool stuff like that and now he gets to do it
Hi beautiful hows life treating you so far
0:19 john wick meets johnny sins 🤣🤣
He does it all. Doctor, astronaut, soldier, and now a tailor 🤣
3:05 i was thinking that the dealer about to offer him a special assassin pencil
A hidden blade would be nice
That would have been a nice touch to the movie haha they always talk about that pencil kill
The fact that John Wick is still talking in code even though there are two people in the room an the other is not is beyond me
It's not even code, since the Sommelier straight up says what the guns are anyways. He's just kind of pretentious. But nobody gets anywhere in the John Wick universe without a sense of style.
Not as much code, John is a man of a very few words. He doesn't say something if it isn't needed to be said, same way he kills. He doesn't kill someone if it isn't needed
Just before this scene, John asks Charon if the sommelier is in. A sommelier is someone whose whole job is to KNOW wines. They taste wines, learn the vintage, everything they can know about a wine, so they can recommend foods that pair well with it as well as help a customer find wines to fit their tastes. Notice John asks the sommelier for "a tasting." This man is a sommelier of weapons. John is merely following protocol. He takes his job very seriously, but also notice John's expression and how he says "a tasting." It's almost as if John doesn't care for the act of discussing weapons like someone would discuss wine, but John plays along. He uses this terminology because that's what the sommelier wants, and John obviously respects this man's recommendations. John is established as one of the best assassins in the world, if not THE best, yet he still asks the sommelier for his opinion when choosing weapons for this job. If John Wick is going to ask someone else to recommend a weapon, damn straight he's going to indulge the sommelier's eccentricities. You can even see the level of respect at the end when John asks for a recommendation for dessert. It's as if the sommelier doesn't get requests for knives much anymore, and is pleased that John would ask him for such a detail, when most assassins would probably be happy with any knife.
@@DyrianLightbringer everything they can know ? English please.
@@capybara9521 That was English, I just didn't word it well. It should read, "They taste wines, learn the vintage, and learn pretty much everything they can know about a wine, so they can recommend foods that pair well with it as well as help a customer find wines to fit their tastes."
Thank you for calling attention to a single mistake I made in a very long post. However, requesting "English please" when all I did was leave out a couple of words in one sentence in that entire paragraph that was clearly English suggests that you're just trying to troll me. So, again, thank you for pointing out my mistake, now go get a life.
The satisfaction on the armorer's face when he says dessert is just so satisfying
The sommelier's face when John asked for "dessert", though.
His face was like: "I love you"
“Mr. Wick? Please enjoy your party”.
😂😂😂
Bro they were all good but the dude that was talking about the weapons gets to me evry time.
That dude takes loving what you do to a whole another level.

They really treat John Wick like he's the Michelin inspector of weapons and tactical gears.
Hello my Dear fan, where are you located?
Equalizer and John Wick. The best action movies of all time. Artistic and yet doing its best to stay true to real life action.
Love the sommelier. His micro expressions and dialogue is just perfect. He really stole the scene.
And the line “Our finest cutlery.” Was just Mmm…*Chefs kiss*
2:32 this scene is really enjoyfull to watch, I love his expressions lmao, btw Keanu really need keeps making action movies I love his movies, I cant wait for constantine 2
I love that John Wick has James Bond as his gun trafficker
its his side hustle 🤣
I hope he finally moved out of his mum’s flat.
Peter Serafinowicz as Bond is not something I was expecting to think about, but I’m here for it.
John Wick 5 should have a bar scene where Pierce Brosnan serves him a Martini.
Why am I suddenly wondering what the Q equivalent would be in the John Wick universe? "Do be careful, Mr. Wick! [yanks contraption out of his hands] This is our latest hybrid weapon - it's a gun AND a knife!"
Out of all the John Wick movies this scene will forever be my favorite
I love how they got the actual Costume Designer for the Franchise, Luca Mosca, and cast him as the Tailor.
Perfect fit.
Shadow The Hedgehog gearing up to kill Sonic and friends:
(Sonic 3 Trailer got me all hyped up! Keanu The Hedgehog!)
John Wick, the Sommalier, Taylor, and Architect would be a masterpiece of a film on its own! The actors playing couldn’t have been chosen better! Bravo 👏
This is what excellence in customer service looks like. This is what being an excellent customer looks like. It's a two way street.
The happiness on the his face when he asked for dessert just tickles me. He was so happy he asked😂😂
He’s thinking, “Finally, someone who appreciates the finer things! I just sharpened them too”
I love the Sommelier. I would actually watch an episode or two of just him, going about his daily business. Heck, it might just be interesting enough to watch one season of it; testing out new equipment, placing orders, haggling with vendors, dealing with his elite clientele.
Man, thats some serious party he s about to attend. He even got dessert.
Scenes like this combined with the shootouts are the reason why I think John Wick is the best action film franchise.
Robust, Precise. the look on his face. such a good scene.
And we definitely need to give a nod of appreciation for the woman running the combat effectiveness test on the suit., The look of intensity on her face for those few seconds, that is somebody I would not want to piss off with a gun in her hand, and you have to seriously appreciate the grouping of rounds that penetrated that suit material.
She should have cameo'd in 3 or 4!
Two handed press-out into an isosceles stance… Attention to detail was awesome (as is the actress).
@@jcdenton2187My headcanon is that she sewed the Marquis's suit (He hired the same place)
he's seen escorting Wick into Antonio's office. That's a position of high trust. Antonio wouldn't have a receptionist who didn't know her business right down to the last detail.
That woman came across as rather twitchy from the start. I wouldn't want to piss her off under any circumstances.
They way he says “Dessert”
always gets me. Awesome scene!
I like the attention to detail. For example, when John asks for desert you see the seller step back because the guns aren’t loaded but a knife is a knife.
I love how the gentleman doing the tasting. Was so pleased that John asked for dessert. It was lovely to watch.
The scene I laughed at was the description of the body armor. All soft body armor is quite painful to be shot in. Its designed to be like a catchers mitt, catches the bullet but the energy still needs to go somewhere and that place is into the soft tissue of your body, so no penetration but all the bruising.
AHHHH!!!! NO!
Basically its the equivalent of getting shot at with paintballs.
They're not going to puncture your skin. But it'll hurt like hell and leave a lot of bruises.
@Furion Max not exactly. As he said, the bullet force has to somewhere. And the bullet momentum is much much more than a mere paintball
Its not just bruising, but it will cause internal damage, which will probably kill the person
@@Random_dud31 wonder what that says about arrows? Bc in the fourth movie the big main bodyguard got shot in the arm with an arrow and didn't even flinch.
One of my minor grips with John Wick 4 (which is still an excellent movie) is that they seem to forget entirely that the bullet proof suits don't make getting shot painless, they just ensure you'll survive. Everyone with one of them in John Wick 4 has little reaction to the shots deflecting off their suits.
One of the most satisfying movie scenes in recent cinema history.
All those personalities that Mr. Wick went to and met, share a similar characteristic. They get excited to offer their service to Mr. Wick. And all of them act professionally.
2:02 "quite painful I'm afraid". A fact that then will be entirely ignored thruout the rest of the franchise.
One of the most satisfying shopping experiences ever!😂
Seriously, I could watch an entire marathon of main characters shopping for weapons and armor.
Idk why! Its just so relaxing/pleasing to watch. xD
The dude practically said, "It's bullet resistant. it's still gonna hurt if you get shot..."
Just like actual body armor, just because it doesn't penetrate doesn't mean the force of the impact isn't going to smart like hell.
Way better than being dead though@@TheAdventGamer
These scenes are incredible for so many reasons. The acting and dialog are fantastic but also shows the viewers a glimpse of how vast and intricate their organization is.
ITS SO ROBUST
This is the preparation of "focus, commitment, and sheer will" looks like..
I love people who take exceptional personal pride in their work!
When the Terminator does tactical shopping, it's about killing the target quickly.
When John Wick does tactical shopping, it's about killing the target quickly with style and elegance.
Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range

@@elementxxrider Sarah Conner wouldn’t stand a chance!
The shop scene in T1 is still amazing.
And extreme prejudice.
I just love how everybody loves their role, it seems they had a lot of fun in this movie
It makes sense too. These people are professionals, tops in their field. It would be stranger if they DIDNT truly love their role.
One of my all-time favorite movie scenes. All of them, their lines were perfect, but the armorer...he did a better job curating John's "menu" than some sommeliers and omakase chef's I've seen!
The Continental hotel chain caters to the international criminal elite, so it's reasonable that the services they provide use the very best personnel.
I'd watch like an hour of John just shopping for new clothes and weapons. Its such a huge departure from the usual badass shootout and kill scenes it's oddly relaxing
Wick: “Thank you. Your voice is very relaxing by the way.”
Armorer: “Thank you. Would you like to buy it on recording? It seems to help people sleep”
i loved the tactical suit in this, because you could tell how much they compromised efficacy for subtlety, he really reeled from every shot he took, always thought is was a bummer how in the late rmovies the tactical suit basically made you invincible
The John Wick films became increasingly unrealistic. In 4 the characters might as well be comic-book supers.
@@danieldickson8591 great movies in their own right, (3-4) but not quite the same
1&2 are definitely superior. Same with the fast and furious movies.@@danieldickson8591
those are my favorite scenes and I love how they speak with both customer and weaponry with elegance and respect. I also love how the armorer and tailer keep within johns interests and or preferred favorites but also show him a different variety all at the same time while staying within his past preferences and faudness of a specific variety being from Germany.
Now this is moviemaking. Perfect scenes weaved together.
To hear Angelo and the weaponary guy voice is like an ASMR to me. They sounds so professional.
One of the best scenes in the four movies for sure!! "I'd like a tasting," lol, that line kills me every time
JUST binged watch John Wick 1 2 and 3 last night and this scene is sooooo satisfying.
No one could be a better John Wick than Keanu. Love all the movies and characters. Haven't seen the newest one yet, but I'll love it! 🖤
2:20 that sound 😍
I just love the universe this all takes place in. Very rich in detail.
