Hey look! John Wick Chapter 4 is out. Let’s talk about some of the things you might have missed in it! Including a post-credits scene that I know that I definitely missed out on! Spoilers, by the way. Now let’s move on to some easter eggs and stuff like that, shall we?
John Wick is one of those film franchises that I think pretty much everyone everywhere loves. Whether or not you are a big fan of cinema, you probably enjoy these movies. If you are a bit of a cinephile though, you probably got a kick out of the extra little nods to famous films that are sprinkled throughout Chapter 4.
One of the big ones, that is probably easy to spot for a lot of people, is the reference to Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill duology. After Caine kills Akira’s father, he tells her that he will be waiting for her to try to take revenge on him in the future. This is extremely similar to a moment from the first Kill Bill, where The Bride tells a little girl basically the exact same thing after she finishes off her mother in their home.
Outside of Kill Bill, we also got a nice reference to Lawrence of Arabia in Chapter 4. In that classic film, we saw an iconic cut, where Lawrence blew out a match, perfectly transitioning into a shot of a desert sunrise. In Chapter 4, we get pretty much the exact same shot, when the Bowery King blows out a match, allowing for a transition to a shot of the desert, where we see Wick engaging in one of many insane action set pieces in the film.

Which scene was your fave??
Japan shootout
I like when it ended. Punch, punch, shoot, shoot... Yawn.
The scene with Akira & that one henchmen on the stairs, & also the flame gun overhead shot, so good 🤌
fat guy scene all day
John and shimazu sitting and drinking together. And all Japan shootout too.
The radio DJ announcing John’s location in Paris and gangs “arming up” was a direct homage to The Warriors (1979)
Yup and when everyone gears up to nowhere to run
FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT!!!!!
The slow motion shot of John hitting Scott Atkins under the water fall is clearly an hommage to Neo fighting Smith in the Matrix final fight
I'm glad some remember Walter Hill's "The Warriors" as a very blatant tribute sets up the battle for John Wick to "make it to the church on time". The female DJ informing combatants on the radio is a carbon copy of the same thing in Hill's film: same camera angles, same lips and the same song ("Nowhere to Run"). Excellent 4th chapter.
I just posted this too! CLASSIC!
I was surprised they didn't mention it because it was very obvious. As soon as I heard "boppers" it instantly clicked in my Head.
Yes - _the_ most blatant-in-a-good-way homage in the movie - given that unlike the other homages, as in _The Warriors_ , the DJ appears multiple times to provide periodic status updates.
@@ivannava7590 yeah it was much more obvious than the Kill Bill one imo
glad i don't have to type this up ...I am old enough to remember watching the original ..and yes that DJ was a perfect foil and homage , the metro and various gangs sprinkles on top,
There were tons of references to the Man with No Name Trilogy, particularly the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, mostly when John, Kane or Tracker had to work together. There were also musical cues at the last shootout that were very Sergio Leone
Yep, Tracker's gun twirl before reholstering had me laughing (See Lee van Cleef's twirl in For a few Dollors More, causing Clint to raise an amused eybrow).
@@fasteddierules8130 I’m glad someone else saw it and I wasn’t imagining it lol. Amazing movies.
I want that horse from the stable fight to get a John wick spin off. The horse assassin!!!!!!
1. Dragons Breath calls back to Constantine as a weapon to fight demons. 2. The radio DJ was taken from The Warriors.
Same with the whole nowhere to run scene when everyone gears up that is also in the warriors
The radio station was called W.U.X.I.A, which in Chinese Mandarin language, means martial arts heroes or warriors. So The Warriors reference, and also a movie of the same name which Donnie Yen starred in way back in 2011.
well done
Thank you for that one! I couldn’t figure it out myself.🤔
it wasn’t technically a recasting as the new elder acknowledges an “elder before him.”
yeah he mentioned that john's ring was got with the elder before him.
Yup. I thought it was hinting that John would never be able to fully take down the High Table. Since they would just replace anyone he took out.
I'm pretty sure Winston even says they'll replace him like the elder when talking about the table being a hydra.
Yeah, I don't think it's clear if Wick killed the old one or the Table did.
@@MrMacsteggy Yep. Didn't the guy even say this outright?
It wasn't a recasting of the elder. The elder was purposefully changed because this prevents John Wick from getting back his ring, as it went away with the previous actor, thus pushing John Wick to challenge the High Table directly, allowing the story to progress
yeah, they spoke about it in the scene
He literally says "the previous elder is dead and your ring is gone."
@@stanleed.harold5457No he said his ring is gone, like the elder before him. He never said he was dead.
Donnie Yen playing a bad ass blind character... "I am one with the force; the force is one with me"
Yup!!!! Almost immediately as he appears on screen, that was obvious and apparent! I leaned over rto my son, and began the "I am one with force..." chant.
I believe the Menpo actually was bulletproof. I distinctly remember John having to jam his gun under it in one scene.
9:00 technically John was never confirmed to be dead the only confirmation was a collapsed Wick and an unopened grave John could easily come back if that’s really what they wanted. But I think this is a great ending either way.
Anticlimactic, no body, and unceremonious. The high table will want revenge.
was going to mention this but i wanted to avoid spoilers. This is a common trope as we seen in the path. See XXX and the reason for why. John rampage created a lot of enemies and even if he free from the high table don't mean those enemies wont try to hunt him down for revenge. See the what happening with caine at the end of the film. With the grave he can gain a new identity and live a normal life.
As much as i want john to be alive, i prefer it this way. No way the dude can be alive killing billions of mercs until John Wick 10 or something. Thats just bs. 😂
There was one scene in particular that made me happy as a martial arts movie fanatic. It was the scene where Caine (Donnie Yen) took out a goon with chain punches and a wind-up punch to finish it off. I thought that it was a really cool reference to his roles in Ip Man (The Wing Chun chain-punching) and Flash Point (The Wind-Up punch).
oh yes I remember that scene! awesome thing
@@duhbiyung I was absolutely beaming when I saw it, I'm just surprised no one's pointed it out yet!
Thats better than my assumption that it was an omage to bugs bunny
Donnie does the wins up punch in a few of his movie one i can think of is special id aswell
I just watched The Last Dragon and I'm wondering if its referencing Ernie Reyes Jr. because he does the fast punching followed by the wind up too. Maybe its just common haha
I remember seeing a lot of the dancers in the club reacting to the fight, and some seemed a little scared but kept on awkwardly dancing. Also John made sure to always shoot his gun when he got the other guy on the floor, to make sure he didn’t hit any strays.
The one HUGE thing you completely missed was Mr Nobody. I think his character has unlimited room for a spin off with of course, his dog by his side! It would be nice if you can do a segment on who Mr Nobody is?
with Mr Nobody we never learn how he able to track John so easily something the marques people were having trouble with.
The DJ's broadcast was a nod to The Warriors, playing "No Where to Run to", the "boppers" reference
No one has caught "The Warriors" reference yet. With the radio host narrarating John's whereabouts and playing that no where to run song like in the Warriors movie
I watched the JW4 tonight and was very surprised to see a reference to one of my favorite movies when I was a kid... Very nice boppers
Immediately caught it - also Lawrence Fishburne and David Patrick Kelly were in The Warriors as well
I think everybody except this UA-camr caught it
This was the most obvious reference. How did he miss it?
John wick - He grieved
John wick 2- He raged
John wick 3- He bargained
John wick 4- He Accepted
Death's Emissary
I totally stayed after the credits and saw that ending. 😮😮😮
I stayed for awhile before giving up so i missed it
@@albinwallen634 watching all the marvel movies now has me staying till the lights come on lol
This was my favorite Scott Adkins roll by faaaaaaaaaaar -- absolutely nailed the character and memorable enough to be a Bond Villain ...can't praise higher than that!! Loved him ..great acting
i for one didn't recognize him but i figure it was someone in a fat suit as soon as saw the first kick. Fat people tend to lake that sort of flex
It was the best part of the movie. The scene was surprising, which was great.
Yeah, that character WOULD be a helluva Bond villain.
When John and Caine have their pistol duel, notice the 2nd round of the duel both wound each other at the shoulder and the abdomen reference back to the doctor who help John when he shot the same area.
Brilliant observation bro
Nice that was probably the plan then since they where trying to stay alive
The Warriors reference was great!
You missed the homage to "The Warriors" in the third act when the DJ is describing Wick battling thru the city to the final battle
1:17 let's not forget that tribute to Walter Hill's 1979 gang-war classic The Warriors with the sultry DJ framing narration device
How did you miss the Warriors reference. The DJ playing Nowhere To Run and directing gangs to John Wick. C'mon! That was a exact copy and CLASSIC!
Big warriors reference
Dog Easter Egg - The dog that works with The Tracker is the same breed that Halle Berry's character worked w/ in JW3 -- Belgian Malinois. And John stopping to save this dog was sooo JW canon -- 'don't hurt animals'. Also when Winston and the Bowery King stand at John's grave there's John's dog. The directors include a scene of the dog glancing off to the side (away from the grave), which is similar to the scene at the end of JW3 when it's revealed John is no longer in the alley. The dog is lying in the Continental lobby, he looks up , whines and trots out. Another portend of things to come?
Keen eyes 👁️ you got brother
1- you forgot Yip Man doing the classic yip Man punches.
2- after john gets buried if you notice the dog kind of moves his head like he saw someone he loves. I guess Wingston knows john is still alive and he did the fake funeral so that no one from the underworld go searching for him in the future …
Ip man
Guns, lots of guns, a throw back to matrix 1
@Keanu Charles Reeves Vancouver, BC, Canada
2:53 the movie the warriors when he’s running around Paris and the radio announcer tells them where he was at
The scene(s) with John trying to make it to the church and the groups of people coming after him is a reference to the Warriors. The women communicating through the radio and songs.
Exactly suprised he didnt get it but tbh screen rant are kind of idiotic and are known for stealing other peoples videos.
One movie reference you didn't mention was the female DJ playing No Where to Run( not sure if that's the actual title) and calling the hitmen "boppers" in reference to the movie The Warriors. A classic in its own right.
They also never showed more than the DJs mouth and microphone.
This was like a real life video game. My fave scene was in japan
"The way you do one thing...is the way you do everything" quote from Legendary Samurai: Miyamoto Musashi
The last duel has the remixed version of "the trio " music from the good the bad and the ugly
The subway scene can also be a callback to the matrix movies.
Hey do you know the song playing on the radio at Paris Subway Station??
The biggest and most OBVIOUS movie reference was the Warriors. How the f do you miss the Warriors reference? The mouth calling listeners "boppers", the pulling of weapons from the wall, even the song used.🙄
Nah fr screen rant are idiots
one of the greatest action movies ever marvel dc better learn !
It is more than an action movie bro.
How about the throwback to
THE WARRIORS, with a DJ on the radio calling out the actoin!!!!!
I loved the hotline miama top down cinematography in the building shoot out
I wish they make a prequel movie all about his John wick's origin story before he "retired" as an assassin.
4:24 It wasn’t a recasting. The elder was executed and replaced, for making the deal with John Wick in the previous movie.
I did not read 270 comments, , so forgive me if I repeat someone else...A HUGE homage was the Radio DJ scene..Taken from 'The Warriors" "No where to run" was also featured in that movie..You knew it was coming...Wow !
Also an hommage to Blade Runner in the streets of Russia if I remember well : you see a truck with lights in the mist of the street and people passing by. The music, the atmosphere and the lighting made me think about it
James Gunn, please take notes. Not that he needs it, but can sure use it.
Have Chad Stahelski produce or direct Batman!
Willem Dafoe: Commissioner Gordon
Hiroyuki Sananda: Ra's al Ghul
Lucius Fox: Laurence fishburne
Bane: Scott Atkins
The Joker: Bill Skarsgard or John Leguizamo
Kyodai Ken: Donnie Yen
Now "got"...
Batman Richard Madden
Alfred Sean Bean
Two Face Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Jon Hamm as clayface
(Jake Gyllenhaal, Alan Ritchson, Nicolas Hoult & Nick Centineo can be Batman too)
Scott Adkins should be Batman
Elder from the last movie had died. You missed when the new elder said it
The scene where his inner forearm gets tattooed by the hot pot is totally from the tv show Kung Fu.
Yep. I saw that too
The warriors !!
John Wick isn’t dead… Wick’s dog walking with Lawrence Fishburn’s Bowery character when visiting Wicks grave looked and huffed in a direction *off camera*… had that been spontaneous, there would’ve been no reason to focus on it… but the camera zeroed in on him doing that…
Awesome! Also The voice actor is breathtaking!
Can not wait for the Continental on Peacock
Hello from Bakersfield California
There was a reference to "The Warriors" as well. The female DJ calling the misses by the various assassin's on John Wick as he made his way thru Paris is parallel to the DJ in the Warriors doing the same.
Yeah this video could have been made by someone who barely watched the video. The warriors was the one I caught and few other minor nods. Good bad and ugly and few other westerns
@@dank2171 exactly screen rant are idiots
You forgot that references to the movie "Warriors" from 1979 when the faceless Discjockey was talking about the travels of the warriors trying to make it back home. This is the same in the scene at the end and playing the records and songs to match. Classic stuff. Also for some reason I did not leave the movie theater and told my two friends to stay just in case of an Easter egg. They were like man let's go I said hold on I feel something is coming and sure enough there it was.
The scenes inside the building, where they film, the scenes from above, so we are looking down upon the action, taking place from room to room, and the camera slowly moves along, over/above the walls, to the different rooms.
Especially the long scene being filmed in one take.
The Warriors reference was sooo blatant. The radio call out, song dedication and update on status and location is right out of the Warriors (1979). They even used a version of Nowhere to Run
Damn dude no one cares
The black radio host and references to boppers calls back to The Warriors.
Chidi - the main henchman of the Marquis was the final opponent of Scott in Undisputed 3.
Yup his name is marko zoror and he was the final opponent in savage dogs with Scott Adkins.
Yall got that wrong. He didnt get recast it was an actual different Elder.
Theost blatant and obvious reference wad the Homage to The Warriors a d it was AWESOME! It's just a shame Lynn Thigpen isn't alive to have played the role.
there's at least one movie with keanu reeves possible that'd be a prequel. we heard what he's called, we heard a few notions to what he did to earn his name, but there is room there to have it be seen on screen. possibly even two or three movies, seeing that we'd need to start at the very beginning with him as a street kid and such.
that would ruin the mystery
Sure but the mystery isnt some big thing that needs to stay unknown
The Warriors was another movie reference
One cool thing about Donnie Yen in the Kitchen scene is that he uses barrage of punches before he finishes it with a Uppercut that it has the resemblance of Ip Man 2 scene particularly the table scene with another Kungfu Master.
You miss the warriors. A dj broadcasting from a radio tower orders to a group of people.
You missed the warriors reference? Wtf!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂
I think the fantastic overhead shootout with the dragons breath gun is a nod to the game Hong Kong massacre and the end battle itself with the female dj might be a nod to the warriors
Its 100% a kid to the warriors it has the same music and is used in the same way
best action series in my lifetime
I am glad it ended the way it did
Except that it didn't end...theres a 5th movie already planned. They always said there would be 5.
@@justaguydoinstuff I didnt hear that, thats awesome! I just hope they make it soon, Keeanu isnt getting any younger lol
My favorite Clancy Brown character was him as Viking in Bad Boys. No, not the Will Smith Bad Boys but the amazing Sean Penn Bad Boys from the early 80s.
The overhead one-shot sequence reminded me of Minority Report, but I'm wondering if that was an homage to an earlier film.
The reference to the warriors.
Scott Adkins' character's weight & suit were an homage to Sammo Hung in "Kill Zone" (aka: SPL), which starred Donnie Yen.
Dragon's breath....
Constantine, John Constantine, Wickhole.
My man Gessafelstein getting his due with the Paris fight scene ❤
The Warriors radio DJ.....Hey boppers
The women dj scene from the warriors
Remember when John went to see the doctor just as the last five minutes ticked by ?
He asked John to shoot him where ? …Yip end scene 🤔
Shoulder and lower left abdomen….this he asked John as knew he would survive… Still think he is Dead 🤣🥃
I wonder if chapter 3 and four can be a retelling of John's Impossible Task but on a higher scale?
I mean. He got Excommunicated. A forty million bounty on his head. He fought tooth and nail until he basically decided he needed to kill marquis to get freedom.
When you look at chapter four, this is basically another Impossible Task John had to do. Even more so since he wanted everything gone and he wanted out once more.
NO, the new elder was a different guy I thought?
There were a lot of Matrix references as well. The car scene. The music was of the film in that scene.. And every "Asian" revenge film has that "ill be waiting" scene.. Where you think " Kill Bill" got it from?
Not sure if you caught the "The Warriors"(1979) homage near the end.....
When Winston was in the Louvre, he paused before the famous painting Raft of the Medusa. The Raft of the Medusa is a depiction of the ruthless struggle between the surviving sailors of the French ship Medusa. Men killed one another as resources ran low. It was a fight for survival which few survived.
Dragon breath… Constantine!
No 😂
They used "Sympathy for the Devil" from Devil's Advocate when the hunt begins before the duel
Huh. Looks like even You missed 1.
Remember when the marquis put a bounty on John in Paris in an attempt to stall him from heading towards the church at sunrise. How they got that woman on the radio to send out the message to every assassin in Paris that could listen via radio. How she called the listeners as boppers. That was an Easter egg from a movie called "The Warriors".
And the music she played (nowhere to run) is also in the warriors
Alright, here something else i got it from de movie.
The lady from the Radio in Paris, is just like The Warriors.
And the sequence above with Shotgun Dragon's Breath was totally Hotline Miami (a retro game).
Awesome!
Appreciate you’ve not seen the Warriors
I think another thing you missed is, scott adkins outfit. He is pretty much copying the big guy in the bathroom fight scene in “ninja assassin “. I believe he had gold teeth and a nice watch also.
The Paris street fight scene gives me hope they could do a Crow movie which is accurate to the original graphic novel.
Chad Stahelski was a body double of Brandon lee in the crow.
easy way to bring him back, the tombstone way to make people think he was dead while he lived his quiet secluded life but somehting happens and he comes back to eliminate the rest of the table to end the serise. could even stretch it out a few movies.
Anyone pick up on the reference to The Warriors? The whole DJ half-head shot callin out people as JW goes about Paris as she tells them where he's at? Very cool direct tie-in.
Loved this movie!
The dilapidated building has the same floor tiling in one of the rooms and a similar broken mirror as the primary hard line building in The Matrix
It wasn't a recasting, the dude mentioned about the elder before him who disposed of the ring
I am so surprised people missed the tribute to the movie The Warriors the 1979 movie.
What about "Warriors', come out to play!!" Several scene set ups come straight out of Warriors.
The music when John is hidden in the hotel at Osaka is almost identical to D the Vampire hunter : Bloodlust soundtrack theme
This thing I noticed.
Seemed like they referenced dead ops arcade from black ops as well , if you know you know
