@@lohiasam3495 yes, he would have. Perkins is the only person who knew Marcus was helping John. Viggo would never have found out if she hadn't seen the two talking.
John put the knife exactly where he wanted... in a wound that was already there. The stitches were already ripped, so the blade didn't really do any additional damage. It merely gave him the leverage to break the arm, and of course get the knife.
Very unlikely he got the knife exactly where the other stab wound was, however the rest of your comment is right. Breaking his arm was the only way John could’ve gotten the knife
@@Mr.Ekshin you still don’t understand how anatomy works, it would be impossible for even a surgeon to put a knife back in the same wound, especially after skin has been stretched back by stitches. The movie series is anatomically accurate for the most part, the only unrealistic part of the movies is the whole underground society.
Interesting fact : Whichever weapon was used, it only fired the maximum of which the weapons come stocked. No endless bullets, which made it more accurate.
@@Sizzlik Why YT? Can't it be from the Making of... oh wait... I see you only get your information from 1 source. Fun Fact more to life than just TH-cam.
The coins work differently than you might think. They're made of gold, but they don't represent monetary value. In the third movie, it's explained that the coins represent the "commerce of relationships" within this underworld society, sort of like the trading of favors among the Mafia.
Not exactly, they look like Krugerrands - Minted in South Africa and illegal in most countries due to apartheid. They are an ounce of fine gold and the price fluctuates with the market. $6000 or so per coin. Popular with investors irl they are used by the hitmen, cleaners, and the Continental due to ease of use/convenience - dinner reservations are bodies to dispose of - a coin per body.
The value is subjective - the more something is worth to you personally, the more coins you give in exchange. A small favour gets a coin, a big favour gets a stack of coins. A really big favour gets covered in the sequel.
Not sure where your info is coming from (genuinely curious), but I work at a precious metal dealer in the US and (most) Krugerrands are right around the price of gold (just shy of $1900 atm). The coins in the movie are far too large to be an ounce of gold, as gold weighs far more than silver, nickel, copper, etc.@@ginawhisnant9966
the biggest thing with this series is that all of the gun play is exceptionally accurate, you can notice that john is constantly reloading and swapping guns he doesnt shoot 20 rounds from a 12 round mag. There's a few videos online of Keanu reeves doing the gun training with actual firearms just for this movie. its very very well done. He is on par with a lot of professional competition shooters. the entire john wick series has a very very short timeline. from the first to the 2nd movie is only about 4 days and the 3rd movie picks up immediately after the 2nd. His tattoo on his back stands for "Fortune Favors the bold" "Uninvited guest" was literal. "dinner reservation" is code for clean up a body. he forced viggo to stab him in the wound that he already had to minimize the damage and get him close to break his arm. Also the concierge in the series his name is Lance Reddick and he just passed away back in march a great actor and voice actor who will be missed. R.I.P Looking forward to seeing more reactions to this series. its one of my favorites.
I saw an interview with one of the gun coordinators in John Wick about how Keanu Reeves’s weapon training was so good that at several points during filming the gun jammed and he fixed it and kept on shooting the scene, so some of the points where he reloads or checks his weapon actually weren’t planned. I think it adds a fantastic deeper layer though, because we get to see how John Wick would realistically handle that situation. Bonus: I think that in the second or third movie, he used a pistol that apparently is well known for malfunctioning. The entire time he uses it, he is constantly checking for jamming between shots.
Another fun fact: Keanu made up that move where he flicks the empty magazine out of the mag well. Actual competition shooters have tried it and found that it’s actually faster to reload with that flourish than without.
It's probably been said before, but the firing of the different weapons used in the film are accurate - if he runs out of bullets, he reloads, even sometimes in fight. There's another YT video showing the training Keanu went through to play John Wick. He's apparently a fantastic tactical shooter in real life also.
My wife and I recently watched these movies for the first time, because I watch reaction videos, and I always had to skip over the John Wick reactions. We felt the same as you did. These movies live up to the hype, and are by far my favorite Keanu movies. This world is just so cool and interesting. They live and die by rules, and breaking those rules have consequences. I look forward to your reactions to the next few movies.
The guy that gets hit by john like in the window of the cad towards the end is actually kinda funny since im pretty sure that guy at one point did commercials for a car insurance company. Like what will you do when mayhem strikes like me or something along those lines. Guess a little ironic 😂
You’re right about the hype. Honestly I regret not being there to watch through the start of the John Wick Journey since 2014. I only started watching it this year, and I can understand why it’s loved by everyone. Easily a great must-watch action/crime film in my opinion! You guys should have also seen the Puppy Interview Keanu did with Buzfeed!. One of most popular videos from that channel 😊
I have watched this movie dozens of times and multiple deep dives into the film, but until you just mentioned it, I never realized that ending shot was the spot from where his wife collapsed. Good job. :D
When this movie came out, everyone loved this movie and also made the two directors make one of the best action movie productions ever. Their production made some great movies ever like all the John Wick movies, Nobody, Bullet Train, and Violent Night. The two directors used to be stunt coordinators Chad Stahelski and David Leitch and his wife Kelly McCormack. The production always hired stunt performers and action directors just like Sam Hargrave, who did the Extraction movie in Netflix with Chris Hemsworth. One other movie is almost John Wick, which is Sisu. Sisu is like John Wick meets Inglorious Bastards. Its popularity are the gun fu and the hand to hand combat because it's direct by a former stunt coordinator.
I have watched probably over a hundred reactions to this movie and I have to say that you guys are my favorite, I just had to subscribe. Can't wait to see your reactions to the next two!!
Yeah, the reaction was okay, but that pink top really seals the deal. I was only faintly aware of some kind of Keanu Reeves action film happening in the background.
This a good one to start with for action! I'm sure many have told you, but Keanu Reeves trains hard to do all that stuff. Hope you enjoy the next ones! Thanks for great reactions. You both caught on fast. Refreshing.
Also glad you’re a new and fresh react Chanel. Your wife is so genuine and funny and your love for adrenaline and kickass moments like me got me hooked. Can’t wait for your new reactions!!
Great reaction guys! Welcome to the world of John Wick. If you haven't heard yet, Keanu does almost all his own stunts (All the fights and gun expertise (called "Gun-Fu") is all him - He trains extensively before each movie). The action only ramps up with each new chapter. I highly recommend that you watch The Matrix before you watch the next chapter. Take care!!
There is a fan theory, and I think a good one, that John's wife had worked in that Veterinarian clinic at the end of the movie. That could explain how he knew it was there and chose to drive there. Also how he happened to be walking with his wife near there, when she collapsed. The Dog John wick took was scheduled to be put down, so he was really saving her.
There’s another fan theory that Winston, the manager, is Helen’s father, and hence John’s father in law. Which would explain why he has a personal interest in John.
It's very short, easy to miss, but when he picks out the dog at the end, you can see on the clip board on the kennel that the dog is "To Be Put Down". He chose to save that dog from euthanasia
34:33 - Y’all may not realize it, but John did make him suffer. But, it’s subtly missed. When Iosef attacked John and killed Daisy, Iosef made him feel helpless and alone in that moment. That’s why John not only didn’t shoot Iosef and chased him through the club, but also killed everyone else before killing him. He made Iosef feel exactly how he felt: alone and helpless. He used psychological warfare with a physical body count.
I just started watching John Wick a couple of years ago and didn’t expect to like it. I have loved the 3 I have watched so far still haven’t watched 4 yet.
Love this movie, and I've watched a LOT of reactions to it over the years since it came out, and you are the first one ever that I've seen comment on the fact that the ending scene brought us right back to the beginning. Nice work.
"I heard you struck my son." "Yes, sir, I did." "And may I ask why?" "Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog." "Oh." Boom! HEADSHOT!! 😎 Fun Fact: Bacon grease was placed on Keanu Reeves' face to attract his dog to jump on him when he wakes up in bed. Action Star Fact: According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film. Of course, Reeves learned and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed. Stealth Adaptation Fact: The security guard who waves Wick onto the airport runway is reading the 1970s thriller novel "Shibumi" by Rod Whitaker, under the pen name Trevanian, also about a retired master assassin dragged back into the game. The story Viggo tells about how Wick once killed three men "with a pencil" is describing a crucial scene from the same novel.
I thought I was caught up on my reactor content I wanted to watch. Was about to play a game I was waiting for and this video popped up. Was so happy to watch it cause I gotta say, I love your thoughtful commentary. Keep up the great work you're both doing!
Omer Barnea, the actor who portrayed Iosef Terasov's driver, Gregiri, fell in love with the puppy to the point that he was traumatized by merely *pretending* to kill it. After the scene was called, he picked the dog up and cuddled with it for over an hour just to calm himself down.
Wow I did not know this! Justice for Daisy! I am getting a dog for the first time in my life soon so I'm lovin all the dog themes in this franchise. Doggos really are the best
Great reaction and I really enjoy your in-depth discussions after the films. You deserve a lot more subscribers so I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
Neo: "I know kung fu" John Wick: "I know gun fu" But seriously, can't wait for your reaction to the rest of the franchise. Believe it or not, they only get better from here!
the lady at the bar gave him a drink just to hand him the napkin where she wrote the location of Vigo’s son hiding spot. I think she’s not supposed to give that kind of information; same as when Winston said “I’m not the one telling you” when he told John where Vigo was heading to. Great reaction guys and I think you’re not ready for what’s coming!!!
Dinner Reservation is cleanup and disposal of dead bodies. So when John was at his house and rang up and asked for a dinner reservation for 12 he was asking for the cleanup and disposal of 12 dead bodies. But there was 13 gold coins he paid them which means the 13th gold coin was likely a Tip
John's upper back tattoo says “fortis fortuna adiuvat,” which means fortune favors the brave. Gold coin in US dollar value is around $2000 each. The joint Viggo is smoking is laced with PCP. They think it mellows you out while helping you not feel pain and feel indestructible. First 3 movies happen in a week in a half, in movie 4, is 6 months later.
Duuude this is THE best action/killer/revenge movie of all time IMO. The world they build up from the start with very little information is amazing. It's never cheesy, you really believe John Wick is a badass even before he starts doing his thing. The soundtrack is pure excellence too. It's a whole vibe. I love it so much 😅
Fun Fact: When John goes to the Club to kill the kid and starts with the bodyguard outside, He says, "You've lost weight" and Francis Replied "Over 60 pounds". This was actually a test AND a code between the two. John was testing him to see if he would help him (which is why he lets him go and tells him to take the night off) and Francis replies Over 60 pounds (or 27 kilograms), a code for nearly 27 security guys/henchman protecting the boy. This is also being used in the military forces around to world too. VERY cool way to again show us how much of a badass and how respected John Wick is. Also thee one thing I like about Keanu Reaves is the amount of effort he puts into a role. You can find videos of his training sessions for these movies where he spends countless time at a gun range training with all sorts of guns to the point where he knows how each gun he handles will behave IRL and will actually handle them accordingly for things like checking to ensure the weapons are not jammed. You will see him handle a pistol in the second John Wick movie where he will kinda toss the gun in his hand a little to press down on the chamber because the pistol he is using at that time is known for having bullets getting jammed and is checking the chamber to make sure it is clear enough to fire. Keanu also went through 4 months of training, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day to bring his character to life. He also went through Judo, Japanese Ju-Jutsu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So Keanu is that accurate and deadly in real life. You can find a few videos of his trainings with a company known as Taran Tactical. Keanu also had help from former Navy SEAL and CIA Contractor Shawn Ryan.
I've always wanted to see the main character just shoot the villain without saying anything and seeing that in this movie in theaters back in 2014, I was so hyped.
I think you're the first reaction channel that has caught that the final scene of him walking along the river with his new pup was the same spot he was with his wife when she collapsed. Great catch, great reaction!
I really enjoyed your reaction, and I definitely think another great reason that even with all of the massive killing going on in all of the John Wick franchise movies ... its ALL bad guys that are getting killed, not innocent bystanders.
Technically, no, they didn't kill the dog. If you examine the scene carefully, it becomes clear that it is meant to be implied that they fatally wounded the dog. However, as seen by the trail of blood, the dog was presumably still worried enough about John that it dragged its way over to him and THEN died. Which is made all the more tragic since it seems to be symbolism about his relationship with his wife.
That's still called killing. Whether it died immediately or later from the wounds they inflicted, they still killed her. If you fatally wound something... you're responsible for killing it.
So you’re saying if you bash someone within an inch of their life and they crawl to hospital and die in bed…. That you didn’t kill the person? Maybe you should edit your comment?
18:05 - He didn’t drink it because he wasn’t there for that. The drink came from Winston, who’d sent the name of the club Josef was holed up in. Winston wouldn’t kill the guy, especially after stressing the whole “no business in the safe zone” speech.
This is trhe 1st time I've seen one of Your Reactions! I was thoroughly entertained! I am now a Subscriber. I look forward to checking out more of Your Reactions in the future! Wasn't it amazing the way the filmmakers made You fall COMPLETELY in Love with that Puppy in 6 minutes? Lol
Awesome reaction, including the analysis after. Dude had a Salma Hayek/Paz Vega type of wife, congrats my dude, well done. I enjoy your guys' reactions,look forward to the next one
All the comments are great reviews, but I also wanted to point out one thing. Do you notice how John always does head shots? The reason behind it is actually very realistic, and further explained in the second movie, since most of the clothing is tactical and made to resist puncture. He doesn't want anyone to heal up and come back after him.
I don't think any other reactions I've seen have discussions of the metaphorical aspects of the story and character motivations. I really enjoyed your reaction.
Keanu did a lot of gym work in jiu jitsu and a lot of tactical shooting training, at which he is really good in real life. He does almost all of the fighting and shooting scenes without using a double.
If you’re interested you can see some of his firearm training on TH-cam. He was trained by Taran Butler. World class shooter. Watching Keanu run the 3 gun drills is very impressive.
don't worry that you didn't get the knife thing, it went over a lot of folks heads But basically if you recall the doctor told John that the wound he had before was non-fatal, so John purposely directed the knife back into that wound knowing it would hurt like a bitch but not kill him. While the knife was inside of him he could break Viggo's arm and then take the knife for himself.
For those wondering, No, John didn't steal someone's pet or pick that pit because he wanted a big dog. He picked it because it was 'Marked for Termination'. In essence, John saved that poor dog, which in turn, saved him by giving him companionship.
Alot of people missed that small detail
yup saved
It’s his actual dog.
Exactly !! It's crazy how many people missed that.
I've never noticed ANYONE miss that. Do people actually believe he stole someone's dog? @@annjenkins2677
With Marcus taking the contract, he asked if it was "open". He only took it because it was, knowing that John would probably need help as others would be after him.

John put the knife exactly where he wanted... in a wound that was already there. The stitches were already ripped, so the blade didn't really do any additional damage. It merely gave him the leverage to break the arm, and of course get the knife.

Omer Barnea, the actor who portrayed Iosef Terasov's driver, Gregiri, fell in love with the puppy to the point that he was traumatized by merely *pretending* to kill it. After the scene was called, he picked the dog up and cuddled with it for over an hour just to calm himself down.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, puppy therapy can do a world of good.
Wow I did not know this! Justice for Daisy! I am getting a dog for the first time in my life soon so I'm lovin all the dog themes in this franchise. Doggos really are the best
Not too intrusive. Not too loud. Legitimate reactions. You got a New subscriber. Great job.
Great reaction and I really enjoy your in-depth discussions after the films. You deserve a lot more subscribers so I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
Thank you both. The best and most intelligent and retrospective commentary on this platform. Very much appreciated.
Neo: "I know kung fu"
John Wick: "I know gun fu"
But seriously, can't wait for your reaction to the rest of the franchise. Believe it or not, they only get better from here!
the lady at the bar gave him a drink just to hand him the napkin where she wrote the location of Vigo’s son hiding spot. I think she’s not supposed to give that kind of information; same as when Winston said “I’m not the one telling you” when he told John where Vigo was heading to.
Great reaction guys and I think you’re not ready for what’s coming!!!
Dinner Reservation is cleanup and disposal of dead bodies. So when John was at his house and rang up and asked for a dinner reservation for 12 he was asking for the cleanup and disposal of 12 dead bodies. But there was 13 gold coins he paid them which means the 13th gold coin was likely a Tip
I’m sure that’s part of why Charlie was afraid John had left all that behind. Always a gracious client.
Loved the reaction, when the Cop asked if he was working again set the whole vibe of this movie,
The the only reason i watch this movie so often is to see how bloodthirsty people can get within the first 15 minutes
I swear, I believe even a Jainist would be yelling “Get ‘em, John!” 😄
John's upper back tattoo says “fortis fortuna adiuvat,” which means fortune favors the brave. Gold coin in US dollar value is around $2000 each. The joint Viggo is smoking is laced with PCP. They think it mellows you out while helping you not feel pain and feel indestructible. First 3 movies happen in a week in a half, in movie 4, is 6 months later.
Duuude this is THE best action/killer/revenge movie of all time IMO. The world they build up from the start with very little information is amazing. It's never cheesy, you really believe John Wick is a badass even before he starts doing his thing. The soundtrack is pure excellence too. It's a whole vibe. I love it so much 😅
Well acting is not Keanu’s strong point. The less words he has the better
Fun Fact:
When John goes to the Club to kill the kid and starts with the bodyguard outside, He says, "You've lost weight" and Francis Replied "Over 60 pounds". This was actually a test AND a code between the two. John was testing him to see if he would help him (which is why he lets him go and tells him to take the night off) and Francis replies Over 60 pounds (or 27 kilograms), a code for nearly 27 security guys/henchman protecting the boy. This is also being used in the military forces around to world too. VERY cool way to again show us how much of a badass and how respected John Wick is. Also thee one thing I like about Keanu Reaves is the amount of effort he puts into a role. You can find videos of his training sessions for these movies where he spends countless time at a gun range training with all sorts of guns to the point where he knows how each gun he handles will behave IRL and will actually handle them accordingly for things like checking to ensure the weapons are not jammed. You will see him handle a pistol in the second John Wick movie where he will kinda toss the gun in his hand a little to press down on the chamber because the pistol he is using at that time is known for having bullets getting jammed and is checking the chamber to make sure it is clear enough to fire. Keanu also went through 4 months of training, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day to bring his character to life. He also went through Judo, Japanese Ju-Jutsu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So Keanu is that accurate and deadly in real life. You can find a few videos of his trainings with a company known as Taran Tactical. Keanu also had help from former Navy SEAL and CIA Contractor Shawn Ryan.
I've always wanted to see the main character just shoot the villain without saying anything and seeing that in this movie in theaters back in 2014, I was so hyped.
'I have no clue' Nailed it!
Well you're lucky to have her buddy for sure
🤣🤣
I think you're the first reaction channel that has caught that the final scene of him walking along the river with his new pup was the same spot he was with his wife when she collapsed. Great catch, great reaction!
And what’s cool is when you watch the behind the scenes training for Jon Wick, Keanu was really out there shooting for practice. And shooting FAST!
Gabriella is really pretty ❤️❤️😍🥺
Wow, Gabriella is incredible!
'John Wick' and 'Mission: Impossible' are probably the only consistent (quality-wise) movie franchises out there.
Thanks!
16:42 How can the Harry Potter reaction be your first time watch - when you clearly know about the gringotts😮.
after all this time...
I really enjoyed your reaction, and I definitely think another great reason that even with all of the massive killing going on in all of the John Wick franchise movies ... its ALL bad guys that are getting killed, not innocent bystanders.
I like u guys reaction to John wick I can’t wait until you see the rest of the John wick movies
Technically, no, they didn't kill the dog. If you examine the scene carefully, it becomes clear that it is meant to be implied that they fatally wounded the dog. However, as seen by the trail of blood, the dog was presumably still worried enough about John that it dragged its way over to him and THEN died. Which is made all the more tragic since it seems to be symbolism about his relationship with his wife.
All this time I thought John crawled over to the dog. If the dog crawled over to john before she died that makes it even more sad.
That's still called killing. Whether it died immediately or later from the wounds they inflicted, they still killed her. If you fatally wound something... you're responsible for killing it.
They still killed it.
semantics .. clown
So you’re saying if you bash someone within an inch of their life and they crawl to hospital and die in bed…. That you didn’t kill the person? Maybe you should edit your comment?
Guys i love your videos! Amazing reaction
Awesome reaction loved it y’all were great can’t wait to see y’all react to part two 👍😎
I really think y'all would love "The Boondock Saints" starring William Dafoe.
"THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!!"
@@joec9693"I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY F*CKIN' LIFE!"
Keanu actually took tactical training for this role
holy cow what a nice pair
LE: if by any chance someone from my country watches this does she not look like Irina Rimes? :O
Wanna see you guys react to Sicario (2015). Fantastic film, super tense, stars Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro.
Del Toro is a bad mf in that movie
He is..Inevitable.
18:05 - He didn’t drink it because he wasn’t there for that. The drink came from Winston, who’d sent the name of the club Josef was holed up in. Winston wouldn’t kill the guy, especially after stressing the whole “no business in the safe zone” speech.
No matter which John Wick movie watch and how much violence you see , everyone is horrified about the death of the puppy.
Keanu reeves does all his own stunts in these movies
This is trhe 1st time I've seen one of Your Reactions! I was thoroughly entertained! I am now a Subscriber. I look forward to checking out more of Your Reactions in the future! Wasn't it amazing the way the filmmakers made You fall COMPLETELY in Love with that Puppy in 6 minutes? Lol
Awesome reaction, including the analysis after. Dude had a Salma Hayek/Paz Vega type of wife, congrats my dude, well done.
I enjoy your guys' reactions,look forward to the next one
All the comments are great reviews, but I also wanted to point out one thing. Do you notice how John always does head shots? The reason behind it is actually very realistic, and further explained in the second movie, since most of the clothing is tactical and made to resist puncture. He doesn't want anyone to heal up and come back after him.
20:35 FINALLY! Someone that actually gets it unlike other reactors lol
Yes! It is known bullets change trajectory upon piercing surfaces despite how good of a marksman the shooter is
Nah its just really obvious
I think some others have remarked on that, but very few.
Fantastic reaction, guys! So entertaining watching you both experience who--and what--John Wick is. Just wonderful! You are in for a ride...! ( :E
I can't wait for yall to watch the other Wicks (2,3,4). Great video. I subscribed 👍👍👍
I was born and raised in NJ. Born in Paterson still live in northern NJ. I enjoyed your reaction.
I don't think any other reactions I've seen have discussions of the metaphorical aspects of the story and character motivations. I really enjoyed your reaction.
All of the great gun skills and he takes out "mayhem" with the car! Oh, the irony 😂
Great Review I hope you enjoy the next 2 and I look forward to watching them.
I love the shape.
Lucky man right there
You should get to Hollywood, your a natural. With a sweet voice.
watching the dog scene again one month after my cat died in my arms hit me so hard.
"By thine own hand...... Revoked". Cool ass line.
Keanu did a lot of gym work in jiu jitsu and a lot of tactical shooting training, at which he is really good in real life. He does almost all of the fighting and shooting scenes without using a double.
If you’re interested you can see some of his firearm training on TH-cam. He was trained by Taran Butler. World class shooter. Watching Keanu run the 3 gun drills is very impressive.
Keanu is a very dangerous man irl. Also the most humble
don't worry that you didn't get the knife thing, it went over a lot of folks heads
But basically if you recall the doctor told John that the wound he had before was non-fatal, so John purposely directed the knife back into that wound knowing it would hurt like a bitch but not kill him. While the knife was inside of him he could break Viggo's arm and then take the knife for himself.
Saludó desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
Always remember...Revenge is a dish best served when cold.
Also, the Concierge for The NY Continental gave John a Dodge Charger.
You guys do a lot of insightful comments , it would be really interesting watching your take on movies like in Bruges and children of men
Can't wait for next reaction JW 2 - 4..thank you !!
The internet has been rife with John wick dog memes for years 😂😂😂
Jimmy and Francis are two of the smartest characters in this movie. John Wick is 'working' again? Be polite and stay out of his way.
