Jimmy and Francis are two of the smartest characters in this movie. John Wick is working again? Be polite, stay out of his way, and gracefully accept his offer to walk away.
Just so you know...I'm sure others have and will mention it also...Keanu is actually that good a shot, and handles the weapons that well. He'll personally never admit to it, but everyone involved in his training, and professionals who've seen him train in videos, all acknowledge that he's easily shooting at a top-tier competitive level. The same is true of his hand-to-hand capabilities. When he trains for these sorts of roles, he's like a machine. Training and practicing on a grueling schedule by choice, and soaking up knowledge like a sponge when doing it. But, most importantly, he's not arrogant enough himself to assume he'd be able to use his skills in a related situation. He trained for a movie, he KNOWS he trained for a movie, and unless he had absolutely no other choice, he'd run from such a situation just like everyone else...because THAT is the smart thing to do. But make no mistake, were he trapped in such a scenario with no escape, he'd be an absolutely and sincerely deadly threat. Thankfully, he's extremely humble, and peaceful.
Smart men will tell you , let her pick it out , buy the wrong one could bite you in the ass , I'm married to a crazy redhead for 35yrs and learn the hardway , lmao ,
Keanu actually came up with the method he uses to switch an empty pistol magazine for loaded one. It was never done that way before. By anyone!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
@@Gort-Marvin0Martian- No he didn’t. I’ve been shooting competitions since 2010, and it’s a common method of forcefully ejecting a magazine from a gun.
So, a few things: The scene with the cop - The cops know who Wick is. They know what he did (or used to do), hence "Uhh...you workin' again?" They know that he's retired, so if there's dead bodies in his house wearing ski masks, they had it coming. And, most importantly, they know there isn't a damn thing they could do about it anyway, so unless he starts going after innocents, why put themselves in his crosshairs? The gold coins - You nailed it. Every coin represents a favor in the underworld, no matter how big or small. It's not about how much the gold is worth. The scene in the Red Circle - Notice how Wick, who is as you put it "SUCH a good shot", stared daggers at him while he casually executed one of his bodyguards, and then fired multiple shots at Iosef and missed? Yeah, that was DELIBERATE. He doesn't just want Iosef dead, he wants him terrified, he wants him running for his life, he wants to completely kill all of the hope he has inside him (just like Iosef did to John), and then once he's taken everything from him, he has no further use for him, not even to let him finish his last words. If he just wanted him dead, he had ample opportunities. It's personal. The fight with Vggo - The knife wound is 100% fatal. The subclavian artery runs through there. Severing that would cause someone to bleed out within seconds to minutes, depending on how badly it got hit. And unless you have immediate medical attention on site when it happens, there's not much you can do to prevent it. The dog at the end of the movie - Not only is that Keanu Reeves' actual dog, if you look very closely for the instant that it's visible, the paperwork indicates that the dog is scheduled for euthanasia. So in a movie all about John tearing a swath through everyone who wronged him, the movie ends with him SAVING a life.
His wound was where he got stabbed by the bottle just beneath the vest. When he fights Viggo, he pulls the knife into the same wound to minimize the damage to get control of the knife. Then he stabbed him in the base of the neck where there are multiple veins and arteries.
@@stevedavis5704 Yes it can, and it would not have to be a lot. All that needs to happen is for the sack of tissue that surrounds the lung to be pierced and to allow air in, then the lung can collapse.
also to be able to hyper extend Vigo's arm and break it. 1 stab vs an arm for the rest of the fight is a fair deal since as you say it was the same area the bottle got him. it still was a gamble tho XD
@@hylius5780 - The math gets much simpler when you include the knife. Before that move, John has a stab wound and no knife, while Viggo has a knife and no injuries. After that move, Viggo has no knife and a broken arm, while John ends up with the same stab wound and a knife.
Knockoff Ron Pearlmen is actually Kevin Nash, former wrestler. When he said to John he lost 20 kilograms he actually told him there is 20 people guarding Josef and thats why John let him go, cuz he gave him good info. *Edit: just realized u didnt had translation so u didnt know what they said. John asked him if he lost weight and he said yes 20 kilograms-code for 20 people inside guarding josef
In actually 20 kgs converts to about 66 lbs, 66 men in the Red Circle .The gold coins are basically 1oz , basically American Golden Eagles or South African Krugerrands. So what ever the exchange rate is anywhere between $2000.00 to $2400.00
@@raymonddevera2796 no.. 20 people.. he killed 77 people in whole first movie. Kevin Nash himself told the story that "yea i said i lost 20kg so he knows there is 20 people inside"
@@JessAndTessIdk why yours didn't have subtitles but next time you should try to find the other John Wick movies with subtitles if possible. I loved y'all's reaction to this movie by the way. I hope y'all will enjoy the next movies.
I'm not sure I agree. I think he realized the gravity of the situation, but I think he felt there would be a way to work it out, at least in the beginning.
@@toddlower5546 U think he realized the gravity of the situation statement says it all.. :P "oh" He knew he was fked, but he still tried to fight for it, for his stupid son of his even.. He did try call Wick, to mellow things out, but u know how it went from there.. :p
Something that I did not realize until it was explained later is that when John asks Francis how much weight he had lost, it was a form of code where Francis was telling him in the number of kilos lost how may men he was facing inside Red Circle. Francis repaid John's kindness with valuable intel.
One of the things I missed was jimmy immediately let John know he wasn’t going to do anything by taking his hat off. It’s a sign as if he’s not a cop in that moment.
The whole dynamic between John, Vigo and his son was well played. Vigo, as the local boss was put in a very bad position when his son antagonized John. If Vigo had offered John restitution of any sort at the beginning, he would look weak and scared of John (which he was). As a matter of face, he had to protect his son and send a team after John. When John burned his stash he was sending the message that this was personal. If he had taken any of the money or gold, it would have muddled the message and made it seem that he could be bought off his vengeance. And when Vigo captured John, he couldn't just shoot him in the parking lot, because again, that would have made it look like he was scared of him. And that would weaken his image in front of his men, and those he is extorting. So he had to capture him, torture him and kill him in the manner of a prisoner. At the end, when John had the shotgun pointed at his face, he gave up his son, because it was Vigo or him. At this point, he had made a reasonable effort to protect his son and business and few would fault him for turning him over at that point. His protection of his son was far more about protecting his image and reputation than protecting his son. And his killing Marcus was another matter of face and pride. If he let Marcus get away with betraying him, he looks weak...not to mention Vigo is a vindictive bastard.
46:58 John didn’t miss, the windshield is made of bullet resistant glass. 49:45 The dog was scheduled to be put down (sign on the cage), so John rescued the dog.
it may not be bullet resistant. windshields are hard enough to deflect bullets. especially with a slower moving bullet like a 9mm. so he could have had good aim but when the bullets hit the windshield it may have deflected the bullet just enough to miss him
Fun fact: The "bald headed dudes" protecting Josef are the same stunt actors throughout the movie, they just removed hair for every scene to reuse them.
Not sure what version you guys watched but the version in movie theaters and the versions I've watched on the streaming services have the captions for the Russian lines. And not like closed captioning....they were graphics worked into the movie. And that shotgun is the Keltec KSG. In addition to being a bullpup design (allowing it to be fairly short with a full length barrel), it also has two magazine tubes allowing it to hold twice the number of shotgun shells as "regular" shotguns.
Came here to mention the captions. If they have a moment, they should try to find a proper version of it. The graphics in these movies for the subtitles were pretty important context.
John guided the knife at the end into his already stitched wound. So technically (by movie logic), John doesn't get a new injury, he just reopened his old wound.
Idk if you noticed, but the doorman of the Red Circle, where Yusef hid, the actor was Kevin Nash... A former WWE Superstar....he also played "The Russian" in a Marvel movie named The Punisher (2004)
I'm sure you know this, but he gets stabbed in that movie and someone messed up a prop, so he got stabbed for real and just rolled with it... seems like a good fella...
As a former alcoholic I could drink Vodka straight like I was drinking a Sprite. Keanu does do a lot of his own stunts and trained in ju-jitsu and took shooting lessons during this.
26:52 "This is a cool song, too." It's titled "Think" by Kaleida and is available for purchase individually from the John Wick original soundtrack. And yes, I bought the song. Also, if Tess is this squeamish, I wonder how she'll handle the fatalities in the sequels as they're far more brutal and graphic, especially one in JW3.
Fun fact: Marcus (William Dafoe) asked Vigo if the contract is exclusive to know what he should do. When he found out it wasn't he decided to take it but to protect John
You are 100 % correct. I work at a perpetual care cemetery and it is so peaceful and serene. It's not the dead that we should fear. IT is the living that will deceive you!!!
That bit @ 45:44-45:49 ish It’s just absolutely freaking brilliant and whoever thought of that little bit right there is a goddamn genius! Idk why but it never ceases to put a smile on my face every damn time I see it ffs!? 😅 just beautiful 😉👌
If you notice @ 12:37 when Vigo Toasts his son with a glass of vodka he did not drink his but instead set it down and poured himself a different vodka into a different glass. Russian tradition I'm told is that if you disagree or have a problem with that person, You still raise the glass but you don't drink it . A small detail but raises the Authenticity .
When Jimmy took off his hat, he was basically telling John that he was standing down. I had a '69 mustang but it only has a 200 Cu In engine. The Bullet Proof vests work pretty good on handgun rounds, but sharp objects go through most of them. You need one which is rated for both. "What is that, Gun?", it is a 12 ga shotgun. As they say Heavy Penalties for breaking the rules. The handguns that John was using are over $2,000 a piece. Keanu went to one of the top tactical ranges to practice for the movie. There is a video of it.
Glad to hear the sequels continue to be strong! Hard to imagine being even more badass lol. Be sure to subscribe to get notified when we react to the rest of the series soon!
"That building" is the Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court. It is very similar in appearance to the Flatiron Building. So sometimes when you see "that building" it is the Beaver Building and sometimes it it the Flatiron. The easiest way to tell them apart is that the Flatiron has a much narrower front curve and has only one window on each floor on the curve whereas the Beaver Building has two side by side.
Me at 42 breaking bones every time I breathe it feels like. Then there's Keanu doing majority of his own stunts at 59 lol. He must've hurt bad after these movies.
There are are a couple of major blood vessels in the shoulder, and being stabbed in that location has a decent probability of nicking at least one of them. Even if the knife stays in, you'll bleed out fast. Since Vigo's blood was probably already pretty thin from the copious amount of alcohol, and the fact that his heart was probably pumping like mad from the fight...in the rain...he'd have lost consciousness pretty quickly, and died shortly thereafter.
The guns and gun training came from Taren Tachtical in California. Keanu trained in the 3 gun competition style. And did VERY well. Same with the driving. He trained with the driving stunt guys.
hi gun nerd here, that gun you asked about is a Keltec KSG. a pump action 12 gage shotgun. most tube fed shotguns just have one magazine tube, the unique thing about the KSG is that it has 2 magazine tubes increasing the capacity to 14. it also uses a bullpup design witch basically means that the bullet goes off behind the trigger. this makes for a gun that is more compact that is easier to maneuver but with a full length barrel that keeps the velocity of the bullet higher making a rifle more accurate at further distances and shotguns will take more distance for the pellets to spread.
The scene when Marcus say "No my good sir! I'll go on my own" was just cold 🥶 I don't know whether you guys would give your reactions on other John Wick's parts but if you do I'm sure you would still say John Wick's first part was the best 🙌 Because in other parts it's just FIGHTING.... FIGHTING......& FIGHTING especially the very last part so far I watched all parts but still first one is my personal favorite 🔥 Loved your reaction 👏
Just to appreciate the films more you have to watch Keanu's Taran Tactical videos of him training with his livefire exercises....its some of the most impressive shooting. Its exactly what you see in the films, but without all the 'hollywood extra-ness'. Keanu is so dedicated to his profession.
*The sad part some people miss is they kicked his dog in another room but before it died it came to where John was and died beside him. Now you can go cry more If you missed that little detail.*
Fun Fact: The lead security guy that John kept fighting was the lead Agent fighting Morpheus and even Neo in MATRIX RELOADED. Another Agent who fought and shot Trinity in MATRIX RELOADED is in this film, too. And the doctor was the Keymaker in MATRIX RELOADED.
Need to check you CC(closed caption) settings because there are subtitles for the foreign language sections of the movie. You are supposed to know what theyre saying. I enjoyed wacthing your fun reactions
Keanu did weapon handling and hand to hand combat for over 4000 hours for this film.. that is dedication and one of the reasons why the john wick films are soo great. lol "so many bald dudes" when i worked nightclub security i used to shave my head.. no hair to pull.
From my understanding Keanu trained stupidly hard in martial arts & firearms so he could do as many scenes as possible & still does competitive shooting!
The pitty at the end was scheduled to be euthanized because it's a dangerous breed. Jon said nope to that and gave it a second chance at life like he got.
6:16 that’s a $5000 turd. They couldn’t get the puppy to do it so they CGI’d it. 23:26 they have a tv series on Peacock called “The Continental” which is set on the 70s before John Wick. It’s three episodes. 25:34 that’s Kevin Nash former wrestler (think he’s retired). He told John how many were in the club by code. 26:50 saw a Doctor react to this movie and he said that the knife up into the mouth would’ve been painful because of all the nerves in the mouth. 27:46 Keanu had a fever during this scene and still did an amazing job. He did all the moves except for the fall off the balcony. They had a stuntman do that cause it was dangerous for the stuntman to do. That’s how Keanu and Chad decided what Keanu could and couldn’t do by if a trained stunt person could get seriously hurt then he didn’t do it and he never called what he did stunts. He called them action scenes cause he wasn’t a stuntman and he respected his stunt team. He’s bought them watches and motorcycles as wrap gifts. 29:52 I believe he got a broken champagne bottle shoved in his side. 46:42 he realized that Viggo didn’t give him a fully loaded gun. Viggo used that gun to shoot Marcus and didn’t reload it. 48:44 yeah he directed the knife to where he was stabbed at the club. 49:58 that dog was scheduled to be put down. So he’s giving the dog a second chance at life that he’s hoping to get. 50:38 this actually happened to a Navy Seal in Texas and he chased the killers through four counties and let the cops have them. His comment was he’s not going to ruin his life for them and they’re going to have to deal with the consequences in jail.
@@JessAndTess he also played Super Shredder in TMNT 2 Secret Of The Ooze and he played a Russian hitman in the movie the Punisher the one with John Travolta as a mob boss
@JessAndTess You need to watch the bluray or dvd versions. The subtitles are very important and very stylized. Prime might have the versions with the subtitlea
@JessAndTess It looks awesome, however, in real life, some times has some quality control issues. Or parts or accessories have been known to break. Some swear by it while others swear AT it...lol. John Wick movies all have some really cool guns.
Awesome reaction!! Just found your channel, and I'm glad I did. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions, including to the rest of this franchise. Just for a bit of (meta) positivity, regarding the dog who played Daisy (who is, IRL, a boy dog named Andy). Apparently, the guy playing the thug who killed Daisy was so upset by the scene that every time the director stopped filming, he would sit and cuddle and play with Andy. The story goes that he had tears in his eyes more than once. Also, Andy (now named Wick) is alive and well and was adopted by a friend of his trainer from the movie (as of late 2021, at least, per the trainer).
No, it didn’t have only one shot, otherwise the bolt would have locked, which it didn’t. Mayhem dude was just thrilled he got a shot off, that’s why he started laughing.
That is why it kind of sucks waiting until there are sequels to start watching movies! If you didn’t know then you start the movie thinking he’s going to die in the end and when he doesn’t you miss out on a very cool plot twist!!

Fun fact: Marcus (William Dafoe) asked Vigo if the contract is exclusive to know what he should do. When he found out it wasn't he decided to take it but to protect John
What a bro
It's as if the movie wanted to remind people that sometimes, messing with that quiet nice guy, might be the worst mistake one can make.
You are 100 % correct. I work at a perpetual care cemetery and it is so peaceful and serene. It's not the dead that we should fear. IT is the living that will deceive you!!!
When you see John Wick 4, there is a post credit scene.
That bit @ 45:44-45:49 ish
It’s just absolutely freaking brilliant and whoever thought of that little bit right there is a goddamn genius! Idk why but it never ceases to put a smile on my face every damn time I see it ffs!? 😅 just beautiful 😉👌
So good
If you notice @ 12:37 when Vigo Toasts his son with a glass of vodka he did not drink his but instead set it down and poured himself a different vodka into a different glass. Russian tradition I'm told is that if you disagree or have a problem with that person, You still raise the glass but you don't drink it . A small detail but raises the Authenticity .
So many small details in this movie!
When Jimmy took off his hat, he was basically telling John that he was standing down. I had a '69 mustang but it only has a 200 Cu In engine. The Bullet Proof vests work pretty good on handgun rounds, but sharp objects go through most of them. You need one which is rated for both. "What is that, Gun?", it is a 12 ga shotgun. As they say Heavy Penalties for breaking the rules. The handguns that John was using are over $2,000 a piece. Keanu went to one of the top tactical ranges to practice for the movie. There is a video of it.
I've always thought he might be covering up his body cam.
If you watch the whole movie about the hotel then you will love their TV show called The Continental on peacock
You are going to like all of the rest of the John Wick movies. He gets more bad ass as they go.
Glad to hear the sequels continue to be strong! Hard to imagine being even more badass lol. Be sure to subscribe to get notified when we react to the rest of the series soon!
All are entertaining but I like 1 and 4 best.
Ok first time here, you two are adorbs, you chilled out around the three minute mark and got invested, good stuff so far.
Thanks!
There is a tv series based on the beginning of the hotel system called the Contenintal.
"That building" is the Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court. It is very similar in appearance to the Flatiron Building. So sometimes when you see "that building" it is the Beaver Building and sometimes it it the Flatiron. The easiest way to tell them apart is that the Flatiron has a much narrower front curve and has only one window on each floor on the curve whereas the Beaver Building has two side by side.
Me at 42 breaking bones every time I breathe it feels like. Then there's Keanu doing majority of his own stunts at 59 lol. He must've hurt bad after these movies.
That shotgun he used is a Kel-tech KSG bullpup shotgun...absolutely awesome weapon esp for home defense.
Yeah, looks awesome!
I pissed off alot of people in Call of Duty with this shotgun lol. Those were the days 😂
@@E85BAITOh yeah...back in OG MW3 in 2011 and a very good alternative to the Spas.
There are are a couple of major blood vessels in the shoulder, and being stabbed in that location has a decent probability of nicking at least one of them. Even if the knife stays in, you'll bleed out fast. Since Vigo's blood was probably already pretty thin from the copious amount of alcohol, and the fact that his heart was probably pumping like mad from the fight...in the rain...he'd have lost consciousness pretty quickly, and died shortly thereafter.
Yeah, doesn't look like a fun time
There is a series about the hotel called the continental. Not sure if it was on Netflix or Peacock.
"Everyone on the bus looks like that." 🤣
😂
The amount of pink mist in this movie is just crazy! I never get used to it.
Keanu trained with Taran Tactical, they have multiple videos of him tearing thru shooting drills. Great stuff
What a machine
The guns and gun training came from Taren Tachtical in California. Keanu trained in the 3 gun competition style. And did VERY well. Same with the driving. He trained with the driving stunt guys.
It shows!
Wick's back tat translates to "fortune favors the bold*
They have a three part prequel show on peacock called the continental and it shows you how Winston got a hold of the hotel!
Can't wait to watch it!
As a career criminal, I love one line..."they'll run"
fun fact - jim carey was interested in the role of john wick, what a movie that would have been
*Shoots like 10 dudes*
"SOMEBODY STOPPP ME"
He doesn't have the gumption nor the skillset. Would end up being a comedy which is...ridiculous
Hey, Bob Odenkirk was able to pull it off quite well, so that’s an idea I can entertain.
hi gun nerd here, that gun you asked about is a Keltec KSG. a pump action 12 gage shotgun. most tube fed shotguns just have one magazine tube, the unique thing about the KSG is that it has 2 magazine tubes increasing the capacity to 14. it also uses a bullpup design witch basically means that the bullet goes off behind the trigger. this makes for a gun that is more compact that is easier to maneuver but with a full length barrel that keeps the velocity of the bullet higher making a rifle more accurate at further distances and shotguns will take more distance for the pellets to spread.
Very cool! Thank you!
The scene when Marcus say "No my good sir! I'll go on my own" was just cold 🥶
I don't know whether you guys would give your reactions on other John Wick's parts but if you do I'm sure you would still say John Wick's first part was the best 🙌
Because in other parts it's just FIGHTING.... FIGHTING......& FIGHTING especially the very last part so far
I watched all parts but still first one is my personal favorite 🔥
Loved your reaction 👏
Appreciate it! We will be going through all of the John Wick's. We are uploading chapter 2 soon!
Looking forward to it ✨
Just to appreciate the films more you have to watch Keanu's Taran Tactical videos of him training with his livefire exercises....its some of the most impressive shooting. Its exactly what you see in the films, but without all the 'hollywood extra-ness'. Keanu is so dedicated to his profession.
that do have a series about the hotel, its the story of Winston, believe its on Prime atleast in Australia it is
*The sad part some people miss is they kicked his dog in another room but before it died it came to where John was and died beside him. Now you can go cry more If you missed that little detail.*
😭
I don't know if you noticed but the chart on the dog crate said "To Be Destroyed" so he saved the dogs life.
I love that she exclaims "Its a dog" while I'm thinking wouldn't it be great if it was a bunny or a ferret. A slightly different movie.
Fun Fact: The lead security guy that John kept fighting was the lead Agent fighting Morpheus and even Neo in MATRIX RELOADED. Another Agent who fought and shot Trinity in MATRIX RELOADED is in this film, too. And the doctor was the Keymaker in MATRIX RELOADED.
Probably smart to work with people you've already know you got chemistry with, especially when doing a fight scene
@@JessAndTess Agreed. I produce indie horror films and tend to work with the same actors.
All the questions you guys have mainly about the Continental/Hotel and the underground world yall can find these answers in the next 3 movies.
Awesome! That stuff was so intriguing
New sub. Great movie/franchise. Love the react!
Also, Lance's role in The Wire is pretty epic.
Thanks for the sub! Tess is a huge fan of Lance from Fringe!
Yall should check out Keanus shooting training video
I've heard he's amazing.
Need to check you CC(closed caption) settings because there are subtitles for the foreign language sections of the movie. You are supposed to know what theyre saying. I enjoyed wacthing your fun reactions
The prequel is called The Continental on peacock
There actually is a limited mini series called ''The continental'' that is about the hotel, set in the 1970s that is in the john wick universe.
Keanu did weapon handling and hand to hand combat for over 4000 hours for this film.. that is dedication and one of the reasons why the john wick films are soo great. lol "so many bald dudes" when i worked nightclub security i used to shave my head.. no hair to pull.
From my understanding Keanu trained stupidly hard in martial arts & firearms so he could do as many scenes as possible & still does competitive shooting!
It paid off!
Good reaction! The lady has more energy and emotional reactions. God bless you both!
Appreciate that! Tess really enjoyed the movie!
I love how john play by the books. He never kills an innocent man. Not even use his skills and legacy to advantage
The pitty at the end was scheduled to be euthanized because it's a dangerous breed. Jon said nope to that and gave it a second chance at life like he got.
Makes sense. John seems like he is always ready to help.
6:16 that’s a $5000 turd. They couldn’t get the puppy to do it so they CGI’d it. 23:26 they have a tv series on Peacock called “The Continental” which is set on the 70s before John Wick. It’s three episodes. 25:34 that’s Kevin Nash former wrestler (think he’s retired). He told John how many were in the club by code. 26:50 saw a Doctor react to this movie and he said that the knife up into the mouth would’ve been painful because of all the nerves in the mouth. 27:46 Keanu had a fever during this scene and still did an amazing job. He did all the moves except for the fall off the balcony. They had a stuntman do that cause it was dangerous for the stuntman to do. That’s how Keanu and Chad decided what Keanu could and couldn’t do by if a trained stunt person could get seriously hurt then he didn’t do it and he never called what he did stunts. He called them action scenes cause he wasn’t a stuntman and he respected his stunt team. He’s bought them watches and motorcycles as wrap gifts. 29:52 I believe he got a broken champagne bottle shoved in his side. 46:42 he realized that Viggo didn’t give him a fully loaded gun. Viggo used that gun to shoot Marcus and didn’t reload it. 48:44 yeah he directed the knife to where he was stabbed at the club. 49:58 that dog was scheduled to be put down. So he’s giving the dog a second chance at life that he’s hoping to get. 50:38 this actually happened to a Navy Seal in Texas and he chased the killers through four counties and let the cops have them. His comment was he’s not going to ruin his life for them and they’re going to have to deal with the consequences in jail.
Wow! lot of cool insight here! Thanks!!!
the big guy you called a Ron Perlman knock off is WWE Hall Of Fame Wrestler Kevin Nash
I only recognize him when he's with the rest of the Wolfpac I guess
@@JessAndTess he also played Super Shredder in TMNT 2 Secret Of The Ooze and he played a Russian hitman in the movie the Punisher the one with John Travolta as a mob boss
Also, what version of the movie were you watching? It's supposed to have translated subtitles for the Russian that's spoken.
It was from Peacock. Not sure why it didn't include the subtitles :(
@JessAndTess You need to watch the bluray or dvd versions. The subtitles are very important and very stylized. Prime might have the versions with the subtitlea
My hubby and i just watched this for the first time last night! We'll probably get around to the next ones soon😊
Yeah it was our first time too! We're excited for the rest!
There's a series called The Continental about the guy that runs it. When he was younger.
That "insane shotgun" is a Keltech KSG with what looked like an Eotech red dot sight. It holds 14 + 1 shotgun shells.
It looks awesome!
@JessAndTess It looks awesome, however, in real life, some times has some quality control issues. Or parts or accessories have been known to break.
Some swear by it while others swear AT it...lol.
John Wick movies all have some really cool guns.
"Knock off Ron Pearlman" was Kevin Nash. He's a pro wrestler and played The Russian in The Punisher movie.
Awesome reaction!! Just found your channel, and I'm glad I did. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions, including to the rest of this franchise.
Just for a bit of (meta) positivity, regarding the dog who played Daisy (who is, IRL, a boy dog named Andy). Apparently, the guy playing the thug who killed Daisy was so upset by the scene that every time the director stopped filming, he would sit and cuddle and play with Andy. The story goes that he had tears in his eyes more than once.
Also, Andy (now named Wick) is alive and well and was adopted by a friend of his trainer from the movie (as of late 2021, at least, per the trainer).
Great insight!
Fun Fact - There is a movie or show I'm not sure which, of the hotel called "The Continental", forgot what streaming service it was on
One of my first uni classes was on cemeteries. They are super peaceful and beautiful.
The Triangle building is "The Continental Hotel". I believe it is a heritage building.
In case you didn't know: Avi a.k.a Tarasov thug #3. Is Ryan O'Reilly from Oz, 1997. And "The Vulture" from Brooklyn 99. A great character actor
Yeah! He cracks us up in whatever he does. Loved him in Brooklyn 99!
Yes, there are people like this in NYC. Downtown, where the streets have no numbers.
The gun that Vigo gives the car insurance guy is a "self deletion" gun, Vigo only loaded one bullet, that's why Mayhem laughed.
That's hilarious lol. Makes sense with how Vigo was acting before he handed it over
No, it didn’t have only one shot, otherwise the bolt would have locked, which it didn’t. Mayhem dude was just thrilled he got a shot off, that’s why he started laughing.
My fav. of John Wick's movie was all the of them and I'm looking forward for the next one cuz I love John Wick's Movies
Same!
There3 is a series called the The Continental to watch too.
Oh and you can drown in as little as 5ml (one teaspoon) of water.
The shotgun is a uts-15 dual tubs and can hold 14 shells before reloading it.
That's wild that she called that Daisy was the dogs name
Oh shit she IMMEDIATELY called that the gold coins represent favors?? She's cracked
32:56 they actually make a miniserie about it, its call 'the continental' 3 episodes is very good
Your right about by the time you watch chapter 3 because every movie you learn more and more about this world 😂😂
You absolutely were supposed to have captions! I saw this in theatres and they translated the language on screen with fancy fonts
Tess senses everything 😂
Man, I can't wait for your reactions on the other three chapters.
I'm not sure which platform it's on (Prime, Netflix, Hulu?) but the show about the hotel is called The Continental.
It's Peacock
@@selleo6838 Thanks !
That is why it kind of sucks waiting until there are sequels to start watching movies! If you didn’t know then you start the movie thinking he’s going to die in the end and when he doesn’t you miss out on a very cool plot twist!!
