“Nothing. You demand nothing of me, Mr D’Antonio. This kingdom is mine and mine alone” I love the way Winston shuts down Santino’s little spoiled kid tantrum. He ain’t playing that shit.
John's life is forfeit either way. With resources and position one of the High Table, Santino the douchebag will keep sending assassins and increase the bounties while hiding in Continental. And John don't have the patience to keep monitoring him until he got out from Continental ground. He did the right decision to end it.
So, curious, got any latest info for "John Wick Chapter 3"? If I recommend, you should probably head to your friend's place and retrieve your car. I think he's the only one you can trust right now, John. Once that is done, you should look at some islands/countries that have good yearly weather and NO extradition treaties. Gotta lay low for awhile, you know? God speed, Wick! :)
Hmm, about the chapter 3, wonder if John will die in the end or he will somehow succeed to fight thousands of assassins around the world that comes for him and those 14 mil$ bounty. Now John....i don't think he has any friends left that will interfere and fight against the council and the assassins. Only possible "ally" that can come into my mind is that guy who was the brother of the boss killed in chapter 1, which John makes peace with him...But knowing John, having 1 hour left to hide, and he is even hurt, well, i am dying to see John tearing all apart. Still, an advice for the assassins is to not kill his dog if they wanna have a chance. Kill the dog....well, the council and the assassins will drop dead pretty fast XD.
No.There's 3 possible end First,John will get into a new business where he die to finish it because as Viggo said he is the man of commission Second.John get a contract from The Continental to kill a really,really tough Bogeyman which maybe harming The Continental,and he get erased his past at last,but the contract will not be put down follow by the rule Third,i like this one,maybe he will get involved in some stupid thing but how matter what maybe in the first of the film or at last.He can finally fake his death and the contract would be put down
I love how Winston realizes that John is going to do it before Santiano does. Santiano, still smug as ever doesn't look concerned, while Winston freaks out the second he sees John.
Yeah Winston's known John long enough to know his mannerisms and "looks". And that right there was a look of "I don't care about the consequences, he's dying here and now".
@Smallfrye I disagree. Santiano is very concerned and all you have to do is look at his face when he sees John coming down the stairs. If he wasn't concerned he wouldn't have held the gaze for so long but gone back to eating. In fact he wouldn't have looked at John. He was simply showing bravado. He knew precisely what John was thinking and was 'hoping' that the rules of the Continental would still hold strong and stop John from putting a bullet in his head.
@@cuchulainn3474 if that is the case, he is kind of a fool. John walks in with a drawn gun. John makes no demands. No 'Drop the Bounty, finish the marker or burn in hell like the rest' No John came here to kill. Plain and simple. Could Santino have saved himself with some bartering? Probably not but doesn't hurt to try
@@davidlewis5312 Santiano was a fool the minute he destroyed his house and tried to kill him, after John held up his side of the marker. That was the minute his life ended. From then on he was simply living on borrowed time. He would never have pleaded with John. He was too proud, too arrogant as well as being aristocracy and he would have lost all respect had he done so.
@@cuchulainn3474 Wrong, just see the scene with Cassian. Cassian and John were both respectful, even tough they cleary want to kill each other. Santino is smug, disrespectful, egocentric like the spoiled brat he is. Had he acted in a respectful manner, he may be got alive, but John knew the guy was a threat bigger than the wrath of the continental and the high table. Unlogical egocentrical dumb bastard, just like the Marquis.
This scene proves that Santino's father was correct in choosing Giana as his successor. The man was obviously too short-sighted to sit at the high table.
It's good depth to add to a villain, usually, giving them some fatal point of pride that proves to be their Achilles' heel. Like with Viggo, it was having to take his revenge on Marcus that sealed his fate, even after Wick had 'negotiated' an armistice. Santiano got his seat at the table, but he had to go after Wick for appearance's sake. It's always the ego that gets them in trouble, and the ego that drives the revenge motif for the protagonist as well.
@@damitelephant7132 I don't know if Gianna was John's friend but it's safe to say in the end that he didn't despise her nearly as much as Santino. He forces John back into the business, betrays him, then puts a huge bounty on his head that results in him sustaining serious damage. And here he is, sitting in front of a clearly furious man, covered in blood, holding a gun, the owner who just told him off looking nervous, and honestly thinking that some rule is going to save him.
That's one of my favorite things about the John Wick franchise. They don't pussy around with the typical unrealistic super quiet Hollywood "pew pew pew" gun sounds, the guns sound realistic and incredibly loud.
The Vagabond Yeah,although Dunkirk was a whole other level, I almost jumped off my seat at the first gunshot. It's a shame John Wick wasn't avaible on Imax.
His life was going to be a living hell anyway. Santino was never going to revoke the bounty of Wicks head, and Wick did not have the resources to afford an indefinite stay at the Continental like Santino did, so his stretch of protection would have run out eventually. His options were to let Santino live and be hunted, or to kill Santino and be hunted without mercy. John is a firm believer in vengeance and facing the consequences of your actions - including his own - so the decision was easy for him.
@@Foxhound3857 Also, remember in the last film John was almost killed in Continental for measly $4 million dollars, and lived mostly because of Marcus' warning shot. Now his bounty is $7 million. Then in his scene is shown that Santino willing to broke Continental's Excommunicado process rule by threatening Winston to revoke his rights, meaning he's going to misuse it the first second he gets it. If John hadn't killed Santino there, The High Table is actually in greater danger of having their rules rewritten all because Santino about to overthrow Winston for not Excommunicado John Wick. Santino not only screwing John Wick, but also the Continental, his Famiglia for losing 2 leaders in such short amount of time, and now The High Table. He's such a liability to The High Table that we see in the movie how many batallions with complete heavy riot armor and weaponry failed to seize control of a single Continental branch under the aims of John Wick that they forced Winston to betray John Wick under negotiation pretense, throwing all professionality under the bus because John Wick out performs all of them in skill and finesse. Santino's death is swift all because of John's professional courtesy to Winston's Continental.
I was hoping John would shoot at the jugular so that Santino the douchebag would die slower but he'd probably wouldn't want to make that much of a mess in the Continental.
It's more surprising because in other action films, it's common to have the protagonist listen to what the bad guy has to say first, then when he makes a move, the protagonist attacks. Here he shoots right in the middle of Santino's "speech", all the while the thought of John Wick choosing not to kill him in Continental grounds felt like reality. It's what makes this movie great, it breaks many action movie clichés and carves it's own identity.
SmirkingRevenge Easy to tell that. In the last movie when the girl was declared Ex-communicado, she was executed on the spot. John was not only given an hour to leave, but he was also given a marker.
Phil McHawk You are a genius! Lol. Just thinking about it makes you laugh. Someone with the right skills and equipment should make a video of Wick walking into different places and showing the people hiding their pencils and when he walks into Staples the guy behind the counter would say Oh shit!😁🤣😆
He's speaking of the hotel. He's allowed free reign because it's neutral ground, and as such, the proprietor cannot be under the influence of any individual table member. If Winston were at the beck and call of any one member, every time an inter-table conflict arose, his motives would be questioned and his hotel would have no value as neutral ground. Everyone would start to wonder, "Who will he side with, this time?" Surely no smart assassin would stay at a partisan hotel for criminals, for fear of loyalties forming and shifting, and ending up on the wrong side of Continental staff, on their turf. See, it can't be "turf", it's gotta be neutral ground. He is allowed to "rule" in the hotel because it's necessary to the service he provides to all the table and their agents: ALL guests are equal, and subject to hotel rules. No one gives orders to the hotel, or it's not neutral ground. It's his kingdom, but only because the table recognizes the value in keeping it that way. He rules a sort of Switzerland, and it's a nice place to set up and take advantage of hotel services when you're in town on business. Like the Swiss, they have a police force, but they do not project afield with their armies. They handle internal matters and Hotel rules only. This stuff about Winston at the High Table, or in charge of all, is bunk. I don't think the table will allow Winston to conduct business other than ensuring the hotel rules are sacrosanct. The neutrality of the Continental IS Winston's business, and because it is, he would not be allowed to interfere with the business of Table members, or compete for territory in any way. Else, the Continental is just another front like the church and Aurelio's chop shop, and only Winston's gang would stay there.
Santino does not really have that kind of power to make such demand, basically saying all crime lord factions are welcome in this haven, one wrong move they kick the bucket
I got the impression that Winston is head of that particular arm of the assassin syndicate, much like Julius appears in charge when John's in Rome. They seem to run the neutral zones between jobs and assignments.
lets be honest, none of us expected he would break the damn rule, especially in his friend house, I though he was gonna put his gun on the table and sit down for a juicy talk. besides the unrealiatic plot armor of this character, he is pretty amazing with these unexpected actions.
“Alright. Then enjoy your kingdom, Winston, while you still can.” “And you, it’s privileges.” I love the fact that he implied to Santino how he would let him stay at the Continental, but would strip him away of his luxuries while there. Basically keeping him in a prison. It would be better for Santino to leave the hotel rather than just stay there Such a badass moment
I didn't read it like that - he's being magnanimous to someone who just threatened him, and in the next scene, Santino appears to be eating well and bragging about how well he'd eat for the foreseeable future. None of the Continental's privileges were denied him, he just couldn't leave it.
@@pbdye1607 Furthermore, the use of the word 'privilege' over the word 'right'. Rights can't be taken away, but privileges can. He's implying he's on thin ice, and the slightest slip up, and he's gone. That's why Winston told him to walk away. It was only a manner of time before he would have been forced out legally, and then it was open season. That was Winston giving a John a chance, but John wasn't buying.
@Spregged72 Not even members of the High Table are exempt from the rules. If they were, the entire underground would have rioted and destroyed itself from how much people like Santino would abuse that immunity. "Without rules, we live with the animals."
You stabbed the devil in the back and force him back to the life where he just left.., you insigerate the prince temple burned it to the ground. Now he's free from the marker what Do you THINK HE WILL DO? Santino: i dunno -_-... Winston: you'll find out soon adios santino..
I can't blame John for breaking the rule. John knew he was screwed if Santino was going into hiding at the continental and still have a bounty on his head the moment he was out of the safe haven.
it does not clear the contract however it makes it more worth for john. killing santino while still having a bounty on him. or not killing him and still having the bounty on his head.
CodenameVex John knew killing him wouldn't clear the contract. At this point John lost that chance the moment Santino walked into the continental; and basically giving John the biggest middle finger arrogantly thinking he can just live there safely as long as a he pleased. Plus I don't think John would want to live the rest of his life looking over his shoulder knowingly it would be pointless to fend off assassins left and right until one of them gets the upper hand against him while knowingly Santino would just wait at the continental until John is Dead.
The downside for John killing him was the loss of hotel privileges. No more going into battle after a rest, arrayed in the finest of tactical ensembles, armed like a battalion. No, all John has left are his wits...and a box of faber no. 2's
Killing Santino made perfect sense. He had put a timeless bounty on his head and taken refuge at the continental. Meaning that it was a matter of time before Wick would have seen the end of the barrel. When all odds are against you, rewrite the game.
@@WeWasKingz3rdReich exactly, that's the reason he killed santino just like in this scene...but if you wanna play safe, that's what you should do but it's gonna be boring isn't it??
@@mrragaman7270 Also Santiano is a guy who doesn't play by the rules. He would send assassins to kill John while erasing any traces and denying it was him. ALthough it was a deleted scene, Santiano said rules are meant to be broken
Finally. John Wick does exactly what you want him to do, exactly when you want him to do it. No long speeches. No long stares. Just straight up revenge killing with maximum flair.
Lance Reddick has been great in most of his roles, though he is mostly a television actor. The Wire and Fringe featured him as a stoic and principled bad ass.
Entire theater gasped when this happened. He shot so many people in this movie, but this was the one that truly surprised everyone. The world building was so on point. everyone in the theater were aware of the rules. And by doing that, the entire audience felt the weight when John pulled that trigger.
Imagine if John also decided to stay at the Continental indefinitely to prevent the bounty hunters from killing him. Would be like the most awkward interaction meeting each other in the hallway every day. Or annoy Santiano by constantly sitting next to him during dinner time or at the bar. "Whoops dropped my knife." says Wick as Santiano breaks out in a cold sweat.
I love Winstons reaction, it was the perfect way to showcase the friendship he feels for John; the look on his face isn't anger, it's disappointment, sadness even. The idea that he still has to honor his rules kills him inside; that's made more clear in the later scene where he excommunicates John. Gotta love Ian McShane, his acting in these movies is phenomenal.
@@jkf16m96 my personal headcannon is that Winston is John Wick's father in law. It explains a lot. Like why he goes out of his way to help john when he just killed off ms perkins for doing the same thing john did. it explains why he calls him "Johnathan" and everyone else calls him john.
Even in the first movie Winston tells him "I know what you're thinking Jonathan. We live by a code. "That's why I'm not the one telling you a certain helicopter is being fueled at a certain place for a certain someone." More or less Winston "breaks the rules" for Jon too. But, I believe the reason why Winston does this is he knows that everyone has pushed to break the rules or abusing them. Like Viggo telling Perkins to "If you break the rules of The Continental you get a extra reward." Or even how Santiano puts a endless duration bounty on Jons head then runs to "live" at The Continental until Jonathan is killed. He also told Winstin you'll do what I tell you to or else. Although, I like how when Santiano tells Winston "Enjoy your kingdom while you still can," and Winston responds "And you it's privileges." Aka he knew Jon was going to kill him.
"John is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will." He had no intention of letting Santino live. It didn't matter if he was at the Continental or not. It didn't matter whether or not there was a bounty. It didn't matter if he broke the rules. John Wick wasn't goaded into anything. He acted solely for himself as he saw fit. That's why he said, "Finished it." As if he were crossing off a chore on a to-do list.
Yeah but a man of "sheer will" would have calculated the consequences of breaking Continental rules and simply waited him out or found an untraceable way to say, poison his food
@@mosesmosestv Why wait when he could just kill him right there and I don't see John's character as the one who will poison his target.John has nothing to lose at this point. No wife, no house, and it seems he can't go out the life he left behind. So, he just ended the one who brought him back and waited at his burnt house for ex-communicado assassin's to kill him
I love the way winston immediately sees the rage in John the moment he enters the room he knows what he’s gonna do even when everyone else wouldn’t even fathom it
Santino is such a Cry baby and fake crime lord, he disrespect Winston since the beginning , and even dare to threaten him with a line "Enjoy your kingdom while you still can.." But yet he wants to seek refuge in Winston's place forever ? What a shameless whiner
Santiano wasn't threatening Winston with that line, though that's how Winston took it. What it really meant was that Santiano knew Wick would just kill him and when Winston casts him away as Excommunicado he would kill the entire Continental as well.
@MasterChiefSamus. That's not what it was, at all. Santino WAS threatening Winston, during the movie it was stated that Santino was trying to take over everything, the Continental included.
1:34 See how the camera lingers on that shot? That's for us to see John's finger on the trigger. John's not using trigger discipline. This is to show us that he *WILL* kill Santino.
Indeed. Shows there isn't even a second thought in John's mind about what he's going to do. Otherwise he wouldn't have had the gun in his hand when he entered. Not to mention he saved the last bullet for Santino since you can clearly see the receiver in the back position showing the magazine is empty meaning he had fully weighed up the consequences and accepted them by the time he reached the hotel.
This also brings to light just how flawed the no-killing rule of the Continental is and how there's no counter-rule for abusing it. What's going to stop rich children like this from staying in the Continental whenever they have a bounty on their head.
Yeah and that includes everyone, so even excomunicados like John are protected by it. It doesn't matter who you are, enter the building and your immune.
@@Germanskill205 huh? isnt john still banned from the continental? the only times he visits the continental are for special cases, though i dont remember much from the third movie
@@Dododeath that's what excomunicado means and yeah he was saved from death because he managed to touch the stairs at the entry. Also is not "still banned" is "was". John was forgived when he died.
That is a possibility. But I still keep my opinion. Santino was actually afraid of dying. His hand was slightly shaking at 1:50. Of course, why did he want to die if he was aiming for the seat at the High Table? The reason that he acted like that is because he was so sure that John would obey the rules as usual. Indeed, John has obeyed the rules since the beginning of the film. He fulfilled the last favor of the marker's holder, stopped fighting with Cassian on a Continental premise. And then, he broke the rules. That makes the scene a great twist, adds more depth to his character. Remember that John wanted to free himself from the marker, not to get hunted by all other assassins in the world. He started changing mind after killing Giana who was actually his friend. He said to Cassian when in the hotel bar : "Am I (free)?", which shows that he was regretting for what he had done (in my thoughts). So, by destroying his beloved house, forcing him to kill Giana, trying to kill him, Santino pushed John to his limit. There was no rule that could stop the demon.
Cassian concluding, "So, you're free" after John says he was operating under a marker, seemed to imply maybe John was free to be on his merry way now that the commitment was filled. It seemed like, for a second, Cassian might be willing to let John walk away, now that things were settled and they were on neutral ground. John had revealed he'd been forced into it, after all. One might show some understanding, or a professional respect for the blood oath he was under. It wasn't John's fault, it was that slimy brother of hers. But John knew better. He knew Cassian wouldn't just let it go, both as a man and as professional. So, when he asked, "Am I (free)?", John was asking Cassian right out if there was anything left between them, if he was "free" to walk away. He turns to Cassian at that point, because he's addressing him man-to-man. He wasn't being philosophical, he was asking Cassian a pointed question: "What are you gonna do, when I leave the hotel?" Cassian then let John know that indeed there was plenty left between them, and the next time they saw each other there would be a reckoning.
PHAN Tran Duy Anh its ironic that he dies this way. Mainly because in the deleted scenes he says "tradition is the enemy of progress" which jhon breaks tradition to make progress.
I rather enjoy how unceremonious John is in dispatching his marks. Whether it's this scene or finally taking out Iosef in the third act of the first film, he doesn't make a big, gloating, monologuing ordeal out of it. Just walks up, snaps a single bullet in the right place, and moves on. That's what made these movies so refreshing to me. No-bullshit action, cleanly shot. It's a breath of air after years of dancy choreography and shaky-cam shots.
lol that Santino thinks, he has the right to call John Wick, his first full name just like Winston does. that really seal the deal for him. in his brain
Pertamanak Primaindra The deal was already set, 1:34 His finger was on the Trigger, regardless of what he did. John was Going to kill him. but him saying his full name might of pissed him off even more
i just love how Santiano saying "a man can stay here for a long time and never eat the same meal twice" just slighty implies that if John tried to wait for him to leave the Continental, he could just simply stay there forever.
man i remember sitting in the theater when he pulled the trigger. gave me chills knowing he did that on the continental ground. shows he didn't give a f***.
Did Santino not have a sense of danger? You just tried to make demands of the king of assassins and just betrayed his top gun? Where is the common sense to get the hell out of town?!
Wick had decimated Santiano's human resources by that point. Santiano took up refuge in the only place he had a chance. He was leveraging the hotel against John, because it was the only game in town capable of protecting him. Turns out fear of death just isn't a strong motivator for Wick, that's all. I take the meal dialogue to be Santiano demonstrating to John the table he has set for him: No matter the main course, the dessert will always be John, alone and hunted. Santiano can stay at the hotel indefinitely, never eating the same meal twice. John might call his bluff, and add excommunication to his list of woes...but what other course does Santiano have? Where else can he go? May as well set the table, sit back, and enjoy the duck fat...he's deployed his resources (monetary and his own personnel), and aligned the hotel rules and hotel resources against his enemy, and there's literally nothing else left for him to do.
I think santino knew he was fucked so he intentionally provoked wick into killing him, hoping that the assassins sent by the continental will kill him, or may him go on the run for the rest of his life.
Where the hell is all this 'Ooh, Santino got the last laugh!' bullshit in the comments coming from? Santino wasn't making some kind of dramatic last stand here or sacrificial ploy for post-mortem vengeance. He was gloating about how he planned to stay in the Continental forever so John wouldn't be allowed to kill him. The only reason his death had any semblance of dignity was because he was too stupid to realize just how fucked he was. He wasn't some villainous mastermind spiting his mortal enemy even in death. He was the bad guy from 'Lethal Weapon 2' chortling about 'diplomatic immunity' thinking that it would save his stupid ass. Just look at how Winston acted. This guy, who never bats an eyelash for fucking anything, takes one look at John and immediately starts trying to talk him down. But Santino? Even after Winston proved so clearly that trying to abuse technicalities and loopholes to use the Continental against John won't work, he STILL acted like it would be this magical shield against all harm. The reason John stopped being Baba Yaga? His late wife, Helen. Santino forced John to work for him by burning down John's house and, in the process, destroying every keepsake that John have of her, including the video that he had been watching at the beginning/end of the last film in what he thought might be his dying moments. And then, after John finished the job, Santino betrayed him, because SANTINO WAS, AND IS, AN IDIOT. And that's how it played out. Santino took literally every reminder that John had of his wife (except technically the dog he adopted in the end of the last film, well after the one his wife had given him was killed at the start) and shit all over his express desire to stay retired...and then he acted as if John would still hold firmly to all the rules and tenants of the Continental. He would have had a better chance of survival if he took off all his clothes and screamed that he was invincible because of his everything-proof forcefield, because maybe then he'd at least have convinced John that he was too stupid to hold responsible for his actions.
At last someone has said it, sick of everyone thinking Santiano went down like a martyr, the guy was a coward who thought he was invincible only to be taught a lesson with a bullet to his head, he was stupid to think Wick would follow the rules of the hotel, John Wick doesn't follow rules.
First off you guys really haven't noticed why santino went to the Continental territory. Second he knew John was going to kill him. Third he knew if you killed anyone on neutral grounds then they would be hunted down and killed by every man or woman with a gun. So Santino did get the last laugh because John has no where to hide, run, or call home anymore
No, he did not know John was going to kill him. He legitimately thought he could stay in the Continental until some other assassin killed Wick. He thought John would play by the rules, but he was wrong. He didn't get the last laugh...he got a bullet to the head.
"First off you guys really haven't noticed why santino went to the Continental territory." I already said why he did it. It was because he knew that violence was forbidden in Continental territory, and he thought that John wouldn't dare break that rule. "Second he knew John was going to kill him." No, he didn't. I already said that, too. He knew John *wanted* to kill him, but he also thought that John's respect for the Continental rules would trump that. He was wrong, because, like I said, he was an idiot. Also, if you think Santino was the type to gracefully accept his death if he knew it would spite his killer, you clearly weren't watching the movie very closely. He was a smug asshole who gamed the rules by having John kill his sister so he wouldn't invoke retaliation from the High Table, failed to kill John, failed to get John's membership at the Continental revoked, and finally settled for 'living' in the Continental so John wouldn't be allowed to kill him. "Third he knew if you killed anyone on neutral grounds then they would be hunted down and killed by every man or woman with a gun." Oh, so you mean almost exactly like he was already? Because that's what was already happening. Even excluding all the people Santino threw at him, John was set upon by no fewer than SEVEN assassins in New York alone in less than 24 hours, and only one of them (Cassian) was doing it for a reason other than the bounty that Santino had put out on John. "So Santino did get the last laugh because John has no where to hide, run, or call home anymore" Oh, so you mean exactly like he was already when Santino put a hit out on him? The only difference between then and now is that John can't benefit from the rules and services of the Continental or its subsidiaries like he did when he was preparing for the job Santino forced him to do, and he mostly had to do *that* rather than relying on his own caches of equipment because he was in another country.
I think the whole movie is designed that way. I've seen this movie in the theater, and multiple times on google play and amazon prime. Every time I'm screwing with the volume because the dialogue is consistently much quieter than the action sequences. But yes, this shot still makes me jump everytime.
@@PapaDrevn agreed. This movie set a presidence on making sure those watching had atleast a fair idea of what real gun shots sound like. The level of realism and believability is what sets these movies apart from others.
I love Winston’s character. He heavily cares for John throughout both movies, and even at this moment knows the consequences of killing in continental grounds. He tried to stop John because he knew what would happen, and even when he orders the bounty on him, STILL tells him he’ll give him some time. It pains him to see this on John and even he is in shock.
bro literally broke the one supreme rule he absolutely could not break, and seconds after doing what he needed to do, he is asked with clear disappointment: "what have you done?" and he calmly says: "finished it." 💀💀💀💀
Can we just appreciate how good Ian McShane is in these movies. He owns the role of Winston👌🏼 "NOTHING...you demand nothing of me Mr D'Antonio, this kingdom is mine and mine alone" Love that😂😂
What’s with people trying to come up with loopholes by dragging Santiano out of the hotel? NO BUSINESS on hotel grounds. It’s clear cut. What kind of establishment would allow loopholes? This ain’t Motel 6. They have a reputation to uphold.
I thought John would be more patient. Hidden in the shadows. Always watching. Waiting for that 1 fuck-up Santiano would do as he believes could still get free from Wick. But then I remembered... John Wick is man of focus, commitment, and sheer will. Not even rules can stop him once he sets his sights on you.
Santiano has the coins and the status that allows him to stay indefinitely at the hotel. He tried leveraging a simple house rule to let him live. John took the better choice. Have a bounty and a enemy that will ruin NY and send assassins forever or have a bounty and not stay at a hotel
@@cooperchance7720 Unless they find out Santino order the hit on his own sister and have the marker to prove it, at that point, the Camora would be at war with each other from the inside.
No one ever talks about Charon, he knew john was there to kill Santino and yet he still told him exactly where he was, knowing full well there was no stopping him and that even Winston wasn't going to be able to do anything
Peter Pan I find that to be funny advice coming from a guy that can literally fly to a magical place and talks to a 3 inch tall bombshell that farts pixie dust
He knew i think. The hotel reception guy. That look on his face and silence before answering john's question about santino, he knew then and there john was going to do it.
Ian McShane is amazing as Winston. I hope in the next chapter more is revealed about the relationship between Winston and John. For example why is only Winston allowed to address him as Jonathan???
@@sandynathan That makes alot of sense and explains why Jimmy doesn't bother John about the noise to the same extent he would another person since we know John gave up his life as a Assassin when he married Helen and knows how much the little dog helped him get over her death. As for Winston, I can see Helen's mother leaving him so that Helen could live a normal life free from danger. I can also see her Mother knowing what John did even if Helen didn't and made giving up that life as a means of getting her blessing.
He got what he wanted: John's membership has been revoked. Ironically, revoking John's membership means he's no longer bound to the rules of the Continental.
I think there is something special about how Winston refers to him as Jonathan. To everyone else he is John Wick or Baba Yaga, but his true friends call him Jonathan, which just showcases the true friendship and love Winston has for him when he pleads for him to just walk away

“Nothing. You demand nothing of me, Mr D’Antonio. This kingdom is mine and mine alone” I love the way Winston shuts down Santino’s little spoiled kid tantrum. He ain’t playing that shit.

It was filled with arrogant satisfaction. :)

I like the fact how everyone is shocked, not by the killing itself but knowing what the actual consequences of it are.
The look on the face of the young ladies face behind the bar is exquisite. It's not about the dead guy it's about the rules. Love it!
What are the rules?
@@dantegibson4904you can’t kill someone within the continental
no assassination business inside continental grounds. literal "want to kill each other, take it outside"
Otherwise if you want peace, prepare for war and thus we have Jhn Wick 3!
lesson learnt: don't provoke the unhinged serial mass killer who just wiped out your army of bodyguards believing a house rule will protect you
penitent2401 I know right. Not SMART!
He knew he was fucked already he just wanted him to brake the rule and run for the rest of his life
John's life is forfeit either way. With resources and position one of the High Table, Santino the douchebag will keep sending assassins and increase the bounties while hiding in Continental. And John don't have the patience to keep monitoring him until he got out from Continental ground. He did the right decision to end it.

The best "I Don't Give a F**" scene
Bastard burned my house. He deserved it.
So, curious, got any latest info for "John Wick Chapter 3"? If I recommend, you should probably head to your friend's place and retrieve your car. I think he's the only one you can trust right now, John. Once that is done, you should look at some islands/countries that have good yearly weather and NO extradition treaties. Gotta lay low for awhile, you know? God speed, Wick! :)
+Frank Kastle also give your marker to that other badass assassin
Hmm, about the chapter 3, wonder if John will die in the end or he will somehow succeed to fight thousands of assassins around the world that comes for him and those 14 mil$ bounty. Now John....i don't think he has any friends left that will interfere and fight against the council and the assassins. Only possible "ally" that can come into my mind is that guy who was the brother of the boss killed in chapter 1, which John makes peace with him...But knowing John, having 1 hour left to hide, and he is even hurt, well, i am dying to see John tearing all apart. Still, an advice for the assassins is to not kill his dog if they wanna have a chance. Kill the dog....well, the council and the assassins will drop dead pretty fast XD.
No.There's 3 possible end
First,John will get into a new business where he die to finish it because as Viggo said he is the man of commission
Second.John get a contract from The Continental to kill a really,really tough Bogeyman which maybe harming The Continental,and he get erased his past at last,but the contract will not be put down follow by the rule
Third,i like this one,maybe he will get involved in some stupid thing but how matter what maybe in the first of the film or at last.He can finally fake his death and the contract would be put down
Winston : What have you done?
Jonathan: Chapters 3 & 4.
And a potential fifth one too.
I love how Winston realizes that John is going to do it before Santiano does. Santiano, still smug as ever doesn't look concerned, while Winston freaks out the second he sees John.
Yeah Winston's known John long enough to know his mannerisms and "looks". And that right there was a look of "I don't care about the consequences, he's dying here and now".
@Smallfrye
I disagree. Santiano is very concerned and all you have to do is look at his face when he sees John coming down the stairs. If he wasn't concerned he wouldn't have held the gaze for so long but gone back to eating. In fact he wouldn't have looked at John. He was simply showing bravado. He knew precisely what John was thinking and was 'hoping' that the rules of the Continental would still hold strong and stop John from putting a bullet in his head.
@@cuchulainn3474 if that is the case, he is kind of a fool. John walks in with a drawn gun. John makes no demands. No 'Drop the Bounty, finish the marker or burn in hell like the rest' No John came here to kill. Plain and simple. Could Santino have saved himself with some bartering? Probably not but doesn't hurt to try
@@davidlewis5312
Santiano was a fool the minute he destroyed his house and tried to kill him, after John held up his side of the marker. That was the minute his life ended. From then on he was simply living on borrowed time. He would never have pleaded with John. He was too proud, too arrogant as well as being aristocracy and he would have lost all respect had he done so.
@@cuchulainn3474 Wrong, just see the scene with Cassian.
Cassian and John were both respectful, even tough they cleary want to kill each other.
Santino is smug, disrespectful, egocentric like the spoiled brat he is.
Had he acted in a respectful manner, he may be got alive, but John knew the guy was a threat bigger than the wrath of the continental and the high table.
Unlogical egocentrical dumb bastard, just like the Marquis.
This scene proves that Santino's father was correct in choosing Giana as his successor. The man was obviously too short-sighted to sit at the high table.
It's good depth to add to a villain, usually, giving them some fatal point of pride that proves to be their Achilles' heel. Like with Viggo, it was having to take his revenge on Marcus that sealed his fate, even after Wick had 'negotiated' an armistice. Santiano got his seat at the table, but he had to go after Wick for appearance's sake. It's always the ego that gets them in trouble, and the ego that drives the revenge motif for the protagonist as well.
Giana was a friend of John Wick, this guy an enemy. Some kind of symbolism going on in here
@@damitelephant7132 I don't know if Gianna was John's friend but it's safe to say in the end that he didn't despise her nearly as much as Santino. He forces John back into the business, betrays him, then puts a huge bounty on his head that results in him sustaining serious damage. And here he is, sitting in front of a clearly furious man, covered in blood, holding a gun, the owner who just told him off looking nervous, and honestly thinking that some rule is going to save him.
Chris Streeter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 indeed
Ikr at least she had the gut to do it her way
The gunshot honestly scared the shit out of me in the theatre it was so unexpected
The Vagabond the gunshots were so freaking loud in the cinema. Do you remember the part where he picks up the assault rifle? Jesus
That's one of my favorite things about the John Wick franchise. They don't pussy around with the typical unrealistic super quiet Hollywood "pew pew pew" gun sounds, the guns sound realistic and incredibly loud.
MaxTheKanuck ikr, this and Dunkirk had realistic gun sound effects
The Vagabond Yeah,although Dunkirk was a whole other level, I almost jumped off my seat at the first gunshot. It's a shame John Wick wasn't avaible on Imax.
Don Albornoz same opinion
R.I.P Lance. No other person can replace him as Concierge of The Continental.
His sigh was all
Knowing. The epic pause before divulging the information. I don’t think he was shocked in the least.
John's conviction is flawless. Doesn't care if he makes his life a living hell, he does what he knows he has to do.
His life was going to be a living hell anyway. Santino was never going to revoke the bounty of Wicks head, and Wick did not have the resources to afford an indefinite stay at the Continental like Santino did, so his stretch of protection would have run out eventually. His options were to let Santino live and be hunted, or to kill Santino and be hunted without mercy.
John is a firm believer in vengeance and facing the consequences of your actions - including his own - so the decision was easy for him.
@@Foxhound3857 pick your poison, eh?
@@Foxhound3857 Also, remember in the last film John was almost killed in Continental for measly $4 million dollars, and lived mostly because of Marcus' warning shot. Now his bounty is $7 million. Then in his scene is shown that Santino willing to broke Continental's Excommunicado process rule by threatening Winston to revoke his rights, meaning he's going to misuse it the first second he gets it.
If John hadn't killed Santino there, The High Table is actually in greater danger of having their rules rewritten all because Santino about to overthrow Winston for not Excommunicado John Wick.
Santino not only screwing John Wick, but also the Continental, his Famiglia for losing 2 leaders in such short amount of time, and now The High Table.
He's such a liability to The High Table that we see in the movie how many batallions with complete heavy riot armor and weaponry failed to seize control of a single Continental branch under the aims of John Wick that they forced Winston to betray John Wick under negotiation pretense, throwing all professionality under the bus because John Wick out performs all of them in skill and finesse.
Santino's death is swift all because of John's professional courtesy to Winston's Continental.

The lesson of this scene: Rules can't protect you from those willing to break them.
"Nothing, you demand nothing of me, Mr. D'Antonio. This kingdom is mine and mine alone." Love this quote.
The one scene where you knew it was coming AND was still legitimately surprised at the same time. Bravo.
I was hoping John would shoot at the jugular so that Santino the douchebag would die slower but he'd probably wouldn't want to make that much of a mess in the Continental.
No I was not expecting John to break the rules this was more unexpected than iosehlf's death wow
It's more surprising because in other action films, it's common to have the protagonist listen to what the bad guy has to say first, then when he makes a move, the protagonist attacks. Here he shoots right in the middle of Santino's "speech", all the while the thought of John Wick choosing not to kill him in Continental grounds felt like reality. It's what makes this movie great, it breaks many action movie clichés and carves it's own identity.
@@Studio2770 Is there a rule for dragging someone out and then kill them?
@@Greendalewitch no but I doubt he wanted to make the kill more dramatic than it had to be.
I love how Winston actually tries to keep John from breaking the rules, they're genuine friends.
SmirkingRevenge Easy to tell that. In the last movie when the girl was declared Ex-communicado, she was executed on the spot. John was not only given an hour to leave, but he was also given a marker.
its almost biblical, fall from grace type of shit; my favorite that ive rid myself of in disappointment lmao
Knowing that a john wick 3 is coming pretty soon i hope him an Winston are partners. An wick has his own kingdom
Winston wanted him dead after he demanded Wick's membership then made threats, and almost cracks a smile after John kills him.

''This kingdom is mine and mine alone''.
Thierno Diop Best indication that Winston is in charge of the whole assassin world, with the high table not even having control over him.
He's speaking of the hotel. He's allowed free reign because it's neutral ground, and as such, the proprietor cannot be under the influence of any individual table member. If Winston were at the beck and call of any one member, every time an inter-table conflict arose, his motives would be questioned and his hotel would have no value as neutral ground. Everyone would start to wonder, "Who will he side with, this time?" Surely no smart assassin would stay at a partisan hotel for criminals, for fear of loyalties forming and shifting, and ending up on the wrong side of Continental staff, on their turf. See, it can't be "turf", it's gotta be neutral ground. He is allowed to "rule" in the hotel because it's necessary to the service he provides to all the table and their agents: ALL guests are equal, and subject to hotel rules. No one gives orders to the hotel, or it's not neutral ground. It's his kingdom, but only because the table recognizes the value in keeping it that way. He rules a sort of Switzerland, and it's a nice place to set up and take advantage of hotel services when you're in town on business. Like the Swiss, they have a police force, but they do not project afield with their armies. They handle internal matters and Hotel rules only. This stuff about Winston at the High Table, or in charge of all, is bunk. I don't think the table will allow Winston to conduct business other than ensuring the hotel rules are sacrosanct. The neutrality of the Continental IS Winston's business, and because it is, he would not be allowed to interfere with the business of Table members, or compete for territory in any way. Else, the Continental is just another front like the church and Aurelio's chop shop, and only Winston's gang would stay there.
Santino does not really have that kind of power to make such demand, basically saying all crime lord factions are welcome in this haven, one wrong move they kick the bucket
I got the impression that Winston is head of that particular arm of the assassin syndicate, much like Julius appears in charge when John's in Rome. They seem to run the neutral zones between jobs and assignments.
Can you be head of an assassins syndicate, and yet run a "neutral" hotel? No, I think Winston runs a separate institution in the Continental.
lets be honest, none of us expected he would break the damn rule, especially in his friend house, I though he was gonna put his gun on the table and sit down for a juicy talk.
besides the unrealiatic plot armor of this character, he is pretty amazing with these unexpected actions.
And his plot armour is even crazier in part 4. But still loved the movie.
“Alright. Then enjoy your kingdom, Winston, while you still can.”
“And you, it’s privileges.”
I love the fact that he implied to Santino how he would let him stay at the Continental, but would strip him away of his luxuries while there. Basically keeping him in a prison. It would be better for Santino to leave the hotel rather than just stay there
Such a badass moment
I didn't read it like that - he's being magnanimous to someone who just threatened him, and in the next scene, Santino appears to be eating well and bragging about how well he'd eat for the foreseeable future. None of the Continental's privileges were denied him, he just couldn't leave it.
@@pbdye1607 Furthermore, the use of the word 'privilege' over the word 'right'. Rights can't be taken away, but privileges can. He's implying he's on thin ice, and the slightest slip up, and he's gone. That's why Winston told him to walk away. It was only a manner of time before he would have been forced out legally, and then it was open season. That was Winston giving a John a chance, but John wasn't buying.
@@sebastiannemeth-ramirez2160 No he could stay there his whole life. They couldn’t kick him out he’s high table.
@@sebastiannemeth-ramirez2160 That's reading too much into it. The Continental is clearly exclusive. That's all.

"Without rules, we live with the animals."
"You stabbed the devil in the back. To him this isn't vengeance, this is justice."
You stabbed the devil in the back and force him back to the life where he just left.., you insigerate the prince temple burned it to the ground. Now he's free from the marker what Do you THINK HE WILL DO?

I can't blame John for breaking the rule. John knew he was screwed if Santino was going into hiding at the continental and still have a bounty on his head the moment he was out of the safe haven.
griz312 killing him didnt clear the contract on john tho
it does not clear the contract however it makes it more worth for john. killing santino while still having a bounty on him. or not killing him and still having the bounty on his head.
CodenameVex John knew killing him wouldn't clear the contract. At this point John lost that chance the moment Santino walked into the continental; and basically giving John the biggest middle finger arrogantly thinking he can just live there safely as long as a he pleased. Plus I don't think John would want to live the rest of his life looking over his shoulder knowingly it would be pointless to fend off assassins left and right until one of them gets the upper hand against him while knowingly Santino would just wait at the continental until John is Dead.
The downside for John killing him was the loss of hotel privileges. No more going into battle after a rest, arrayed in the finest of tactical ensembles, armed like a battalion. No, all John has left are his wits...and a box of faber no. 2's
Santino was screwed the second he burned the last photographs of John's wife.
1:05 that look on John wick's face says it all 😂😂.

Everyone in the room: It was at that moment that he knew... He fucked up

Killing Santino made perfect sense. He had put a timeless bounty on his head and taken refuge at the continental. Meaning that it was a matter of time before Wick would have seen the end of the barrel.
When all odds are against you, rewrite the game.
Its like Francis Underwood said, "If you don't like the way the table is set up, then flip the table."
i think John Wick can stay as long as he wants at the continental too. even he got bounty on his head, no one gonna kill him in there.

I agree. The role of Charon is very understated in both films. I hope they bring him back with a bigger role in Chapter 3.

Bullshit..
Everyone in the theatre are Aware of the rules. Of course. In your dream man!
Imagine if John also decided to stay at the Continental indefinitely to prevent the bounty hunters from killing him.
Would be like the most awkward interaction meeting each other in the hallway every day. Or annoy Santiano by constantly sitting next to him during dinner time or at the bar.

2:16 looks like he has a smiley on his cheek
I love Winstons reaction, it was the perfect way to showcase the friendship he feels for John; the look on his face isn't anger, it's disappointment, sadness even. The idea that he still has to honor his rules kills him inside; that's made more clear in the later scene where he excommunicates John. Gotta love Ian McShane, his acting in these movies is phenomenal.
Even in the sequel, he gave John wick one hour notice.
And because of that hour, the entire hotel was excommunicated
@@jkf16m96 my personal headcannon is that Winston is John Wick's father in law. It explains a lot. Like why he goes out of his way to help john when he just killed off ms perkins for doing the same thing john did. it explains why he calls him "Johnathan" and everyone else calls him john.
Even in the first movie Winston tells him "I know what you're thinking Jonathan. We live by a code. "That's why I'm not the one telling you a certain helicopter is being fueled at a certain place for a certain someone." More or less Winston "breaks the rules" for Jon too.
But, I believe the reason why Winston does this is he knows that everyone has pushed to break the rules or abusing them. Like Viggo telling Perkins to "If you break the rules of The Continental you get a extra reward."
Or even how Santiano puts a endless duration bounty on Jons head then runs to "live" at The Continental until Jonathan is killed. He also told Winstin you'll do what I tell you to or else. Although, I like how when Santiano tells Winston "Enjoy your kingdom while you still can," and Winston responds "And you it's privileges." Aka he knew Jon was going to kill him.
Rip to the legend
@@YouWooooo "goodbye my son"
"John is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will."
He had no intention of letting Santino live. It didn't matter if he was at the Continental or not. It didn't matter whether or not there was a bounty. It didn't matter if he broke the rules. John Wick wasn't goaded into anything. He acted solely for himself as he saw fit.
That's why he said, "Finished it." As if he were crossing off a chore on a to-do list.
TheEntertainedxD by that he caused John Wick Chapter: 3

Santiano wasn't threatening Winston with that line, though that's how Winston took it. What it really meant was that Santiano knew Wick would just kill him and when Winston casts him away as Excommunicado he would kill the entire Continental as well.
Santiano is that one kid from ur childhood that would go time out in tag or freeze tag whenever u get close to catching them.

Wade Wilson Nice attention to detail amigo, I didn't notice that
I just noticed too. For those uninitiated, you NEVER put your finger on the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.
Indeed. Shows there isn't even a second thought in John's mind about what he's going to do. Otherwise he wouldn't have had the gun in his hand when he entered. Not to mention he saved the last bullet for Santino since you can clearly see the receiver in the back position showing the magazine is empty meaning he had fully weighed up the consequences and accepted them by the time he reached the hotel.
My reaction was similar. I said "he is so pissed, he isnt even using trigger disipline".... you fucked up big time, Santino
Good eye.
After watching the continental series now i realize why Winston has absolutely zero fear of the high table
This also brings to light just how flawed the no-killing rule of the Continental is and how there's no counter-rule for abusing it. What's going to stop rich children like this from staying in the Continental whenever they have a bounty on their head.
Yeah and that includes everyone, so even excomunicados like John are protected by it. It doesn't matter who you are, enter the building and your immune.

Kidding the man being ready to kill you is definitely not a wise choice.
"Duck fat, makes all the difference"
*BANG*
heywhatsup65 keep telling yourself that.
That is a possibility. But I still keep my opinion. Santino was actually afraid of dying. His hand was slightly shaking at 1:50. Of course, why did he want to die if he was aiming for the seat at the High Table? The reason that he acted like that is because he was so sure that John would obey the rules as usual. Indeed, John has obeyed the rules since the beginning of the film. He fulfilled the last favor of the marker's holder, stopped fighting with Cassian on a Continental premise. And then, he broke the rules. That makes the scene a great twist, adds more depth to his character. Remember that John wanted to free himself from the marker, not to get hunted by all other assassins in the world. He started changing mind after killing Giana who was actually his friend. He said to Cassian when in the hotel bar : "Am I (free)?", which shows that he was regretting for what he had done (in my thoughts). So, by destroying his beloved house, forcing him to kill Giana, trying to kill him, Santino pushed John to his limit. There was no rule that could stop the demon.
Cassian concluding, "So, you're free" after John says he was operating under a marker, seemed to imply maybe John was free to be on his merry way now that the commitment was filled. It seemed like, for a second, Cassian might be willing to let John walk away, now that things were settled and they were on neutral ground. John had revealed he'd been forced into it, after all. One might show some understanding, or a professional respect for the blood oath he was under. It wasn't John's fault, it was that slimy brother of hers. But John knew better. He knew Cassian wouldn't just let it go, both as a man and as professional. So, when he asked, "Am I (free)?", John was asking Cassian right out if there was anything left between them, if he was "free" to walk away. He turns to Cassian at that point, because he's addressing him man-to-man. He wasn't being philosophical, he was asking Cassian a pointed question: "What are you gonna do, when I leave the hotel?" Cassian then let John know that indeed there was plenty left between them, and the next time they saw each other there would be a reckoning.
heywhatsup65... I believe you are correct sir.
PHAN Tran Duy Anh its ironic that he dies this way. Mainly because in the deleted scenes he says "tradition is the enemy of progress" which jhon breaks tradition to make progress.
"A man can stay here a long time and never eat the same meal twice."
Lmao he ain't gon let u eat another meal fool
John Wick: Here's your desert *bang*
Technically he's never gonna eat duck fat the 2nd time
Sounds good. Ever had .45 Automatic Colt Pistol? Quick preparation, simple taste, but quite filling.
2:03 Wick was already on the stance to shoot, he made up his mind already.
I rather enjoy how unceremonious John is in dispatching his marks. Whether it's this scene or finally taking out Iosef in the third act of the first film, he doesn't make a big, gloating, monologuing ordeal out of it. Just walks up, snaps a single bullet in the right place, and moves on. That's what made these movies so refreshing to me. No-bullshit action, cleanly shot. It's a breath of air after years of dancy choreography and shaky-cam shots.
And that, Thor... is why you go for the head...
Underated comment.
😂😂😂
Always go for the head. Lesson learnt
Nah should of just had put john wick on the avengers team
*And that Thor, is why you go for the head.
I hope that was a good potato.

"what have you done?"
"I have gone for the head."
I understood that reference
that Santonio guy is perfect. Great actor. look at his movements... so subtle and reflects his inner fear and anxiety
0:59 this hotel attendant he knew shit is about to go down
He's like "I'm not getting paid enough to get in between these two call me when it's over I'll be under my desk until then."
@@CommisarHood
And he's probably getting paid FAR more than what we'll see in our lifetimes.
lol that Santino thinks, he has the right to call John Wick, his first full name just like Winston does. that really seal the deal for him. in his brain
Pertamanak Primaindra The deal was already set, 1:34 His finger was on the Trigger, regardless of what he did.
John was Going to kill him.
but him saying his full name might of pissed him off even more
i just love how Santiano saying "a man can stay here for a long time and never eat the same meal twice" just slighty implies that if John tried to wait for him to leave the Continental, he could just simply stay there forever.
Rip receptionist
I love how the bellhop knew exactly why John was asking for salintino but still told him anyway, that man is a certified badass
@CyberTech05 you serious?
man i remember sitting in the theater when he pulled the trigger. gave me chills knowing he did that on the continental ground. shows he didn't give a f***.
The theatre erupted when he shoots Santino. I've rarely seen a reaction like that.
2:34 finished his lil beef and started something much bigger
Did Santino not have a sense of danger? You just tried to make demands of the king of assassins and just betrayed his top gun? Where is the common sense to get the hell out of town?!
Wick had decimated Santiano's human resources by that point. Santiano took up refuge in the only place he had a chance. He was leveraging the hotel against John, because it was the only game in town capable of protecting him. Turns out fear of death just isn't a strong motivator for Wick, that's all. I take the meal dialogue to be Santiano demonstrating to John the table he has set for him: No matter the main course, the dessert will always be John, alone and hunted. Santiano can stay at the hotel indefinitely, never eating the same meal twice. John might call his bluff, and add excommunication to his list of woes...but what other course does Santiano have? Where else can he go? May as well set the table, sit back, and enjoy the duck fat...he's deployed his resources (monetary and his own personnel), and aligned the hotel rules and hotel resources against his enemy, and there's literally nothing else left for him to do.
Out of town wont work if John wants your head.
I think santino knew he was fucked so he intentionally provoked wick into killing him, hoping that the assassins sent by the continental will kill him, or may him go on the run for the rest of his life.
RuskiBeaner Santonio was a man of ego and was a coward at his core. He did not want to die.
@@StuUngar thus his biggest regret is calling John by his real name. Only Winston can call him Jonathan.
Where the hell is all this 'Ooh, Santino got the last laugh!' bullshit in the comments coming from? Santino wasn't making some kind of dramatic last stand here or sacrificial ploy for post-mortem vengeance. He was gloating about how he planned to stay in the Continental forever so John wouldn't be allowed to kill him. The only reason his death had any semblance of dignity was because he was too stupid to realize just how fucked he was. He wasn't some villainous mastermind spiting his mortal enemy even in death. He was the bad guy from 'Lethal Weapon 2' chortling about 'diplomatic immunity' thinking that it would save his stupid ass.
Just look at how Winston acted. This guy, who never bats an eyelash for fucking anything, takes one look at John and immediately starts trying to talk him down. But Santino? Even after Winston proved so clearly that trying to abuse technicalities and loopholes to use the Continental against John won't work, he STILL acted like it would be this magical shield against all harm.
The reason John stopped being Baba Yaga? His late wife, Helen. Santino forced John to work for him by burning down John's house and, in the process, destroying every keepsake that John have of her, including the video that he had been watching at the beginning/end of the last film in what he thought might be his dying moments. And then, after John finished the job, Santino betrayed him, because SANTINO WAS, AND IS, AN IDIOT.
And that's how it played out. Santino took literally every reminder that John had of his wife (except technically the dog he adopted in the end of the last film, well after the one his wife had given him was killed at the start) and shit all over his express desire to stay retired...and then he acted as if John would still hold firmly to all the rules and tenants of the Continental. He would have had a better chance of survival if he took off all his clothes and screamed that he was invincible because of his everything-proof forcefield, because maybe then he'd at least have convinced John that he was too stupid to hold responsible for his actions.
A very interesting analysis of the situation. This is impressive.
At last someone has said it, sick of everyone thinking Santiano went down like a martyr, the guy was a coward who thought he was invincible only to be taught a lesson with a bullet to his head, he was stupid to think Wick would follow the rules of the hotel, John Wick doesn't follow rules.
First off you guys really haven't noticed why santino went to the Continental territory. Second he knew John was going to kill him. Third he knew if you killed anyone on neutral grounds then they would be hunted down and killed by every man or woman with a gun.
So Santino did get the last laugh because John has no where to hide, run, or call home anymore
No, he did not know John was going to kill him. He legitimately thought he could stay in the Continental until some other assassin killed Wick. He thought John would play by the rules, but he was wrong. He didn't get the last laugh...he got a bullet to the head.
"First off you guys really haven't noticed why santino went to the Continental territory."
I already said why he did it. It was because he knew that violence was forbidden in Continental territory, and he thought that John wouldn't dare break that rule.
"Second he knew John was going to kill him."
No, he didn't. I already said that, too. He knew John *wanted* to kill him, but he also thought that John's respect for the Continental rules would trump that. He was wrong, because, like I said, he was an idiot.
Also, if you think Santino was the type to gracefully accept his death if he knew it would spite his killer, you clearly weren't watching the movie very closely. He was a smug asshole who gamed the rules by having John kill his sister so he wouldn't invoke retaliation from the High Table, failed to kill John, failed to get John's membership at the Continental revoked, and finally settled for 'living' in the Continental so John wouldn't be allowed to kill him.
"Third he knew if you killed anyone on neutral grounds then they would be hunted down and killed by every man or woman with a gun."
Oh, so you mean almost exactly like he was already? Because that's what was already happening. Even excluding all the people Santino threw at him, John was set upon by no fewer than SEVEN assassins in New York alone in less than 24 hours, and only one of them (Cassian) was doing it for a reason other than the bounty that Santino had put out on John.
"So Santino did get the last laugh because John has no where to hide, run, or call home anymore"
Oh, so you mean exactly like he was already when Santino put a hit out on him? The only difference between then and now is that John can't benefit from the rules and services of the Continental or its subsidiaries like he did when he was preparing for the job Santino forced him to do, and he mostly had to do *that* rather than relying on his own caches of equipment because he was in another country.
Rest in peace charon. He passed away 2 days ago i believe
That's got to be the loudest gunshot in the entire film
Because there was little to no background noise
I think the whole movie is designed that way. I've seen this movie in the theater, and multiple times on google play and amazon prime. Every time I'm screwing with the volume because the dialogue is consistently much quieter than the action sequences. But yes, this shot still makes me jump everytime.
@@PapaDrevn agreed. This movie set a presidence on making sure those watching had atleast a fair idea of what real gun shots sound like.
The level of realism and believability is what sets these movies apart from others.
lmfaoo I jumped
This actually scared shit out of me when I watched it the first time.
He probably tilted John even more when he said, “Yeah, Jonathan. Walk..” GG
Yeah only his closest friends can call him Jonathan
This smug as betrayer called him John and he reached his breaking point
Santino: duck fat
Jonathan: fuck dat
*Santiano* - Duck fat.
*John* - Fuck dat.
*Winston* - Holy fuck.
you are a fucking genius !
looooooooooool
Copier... thumbs down
@@hiho2400 lmfao 😭
I love Winston’s character. He heavily cares for John throughout both movies, and even at this moment knows the consequences of killing in continental grounds. He tried to stop John because he knew what would happen, and even when he orders the bounty on him, STILL tells him he’ll give him some time. It pains him to see this on John and even he is in shock.
*there's something cozy about being in that lounge despite it being filled with Hitmen and Assassins*
Winston: "What have you done?"
John : "FATALITY, FINISHED HIM."
Why are villains so stupid when obviously outmatched
OggyTheTiger Because of the Sacred rule, he truly thought he was untouchable
then again u cant hide from the bogeyman
OggyTheTiger pretty smart of him actually. see even if he gets killed then at least he gets john's membership revoked
taking one for the team eh?
he didn't think john would kill then & there.
"And you, its privileges... sir." Winston doesn't need to pull the trigger, he could kill with that sharp wit alone.
bro literally broke the one supreme rule he absolutely could not break, and seconds after doing what he needed to do, he is asked with clear disappointment: "what have you done?" and he calmly says: "finished it." 💀💀💀💀
Can we just appreciate how good Ian McShane is in these movies. He owns the role of Winston👌🏼 "NOTHING...you demand nothing of me Mr D'Antonio, this kingdom is mine and mine alone" Love that😂😂
What’s with people trying to come up with loopholes by dragging Santiano out of the hotel? NO BUSINESS on hotel grounds. It’s clear cut. What kind of establishment would allow loopholes? This ain’t Motel 6. They have a reputation to uphold.
savvysearch That would still be breaking the rule. No Business should be done in the hotel. That would count as business
I thought John would be more patient. Hidden in the shadows. Always watching. Waiting for that 1 fuck-up Santiano would do as he believes could still get free from Wick.
But then I remembered... John Wick is man of focus, commitment, and sheer will. Not even rules can stop him once he sets his sights on you.
BABA YAGAAAAAAAAA
Santiano has the coins and the status that allows him to stay indefinitely at the hotel. He tried leveraging a simple house rule to let him live. John took the better choice. Have a bounty and a enemy that will ruin NY and send assassins forever or have a bounty and not stay at a hotel
@@skellybonz5467 Not to mention, Santino is High Table. There will be consequences for killing him.
@@cooperchance7720 Unless they find out Santino order the hit on his own sister and have the marker to prove it, at that point, the Camora would be at war with each other from the inside.
No one ever talks about Charon, he knew john was there to kill Santino and yet he still told him exactly where he was, knowing full well there was no stopping him and that even Winston wasn't going to be able to do anything
I love how John breaks ever rule and no one can discipline him who tries.
The noise comes before the shoot to scare the shit out of people
Peter Pan sorry i was stoned when i wrote that
Peter Pan I find that to be funny advice coming from a guy that can literally fly to a magical place and talks to a 3 inch tall bombshell that farts pixie dust
@@iBloby My nigga was high as shit 😂
@@BajoNocta bruh this comment is underrated as fuck especially with the time gap
Santino forgot that John got nothing to lose now.
He knew i think. The hotel reception guy. That look on his face and silence before answering john's question about santino, he knew then and there john was going to do it.
😂I love the lady bartenders reaction; her face screams, oh my God, he actually broke the rules in front of the manager and just walked away!
0:25 Those words man, those words! Awesome!
He didn't even let him finish his sentence lol
The perfect way to say F the rules XD
Santino: Duck fat. (bite)
Wick: Fak dat. (bang)
Love the detail where John walks in with his finger on the trigger. John knew from the beginning he was gonna kill him.
Ian McShane is amazing as Winston. I hope in the next chapter more is revealed about the relationship between Winston and John. For example why is only Winston allowed to address him as Jonathan???
Well no one is above the rules of the continental....as Winston says "this kingdom is mine and mine alone"
Plotwist: he is his father.
@@mydnajt I was going to say he's johns wife's father and jimmy is johns brother in law
sandynathan correct^
@@sandynathan That makes alot of sense and explains why Jimmy doesn't bother John about the noise to the same extent he would another person since we know John gave up his life as a Assassin when he married Helen and knows how much the little dog helped him get over her death. As for Winston, I can see Helen's mother leaving him so that Helen could live a normal life free from danger. I can also see her Mother knowing what John did even if Helen didn't and made giving up that life as a means of getting her blessing.
1:56 Duck Fart..Makes all the difference.
Rajan 16
Lol eww..
This is unrelated but....
Ducks have corkscrew penises..
o__O
Why did I laugh this much
Lmao
He has been sniffing that good shit. That's why he is so stupidly arrogant which led to his inevitable death.
He got what he wanted: John's membership has been revoked. Ironically, revoking John's membership means he's no longer bound to the rules of the Continental.
I think there is something special about how Winston refers to him as Jonathan. To everyone else he is John Wick or Baba Yaga, but his true friends call him Jonathan, which just showcases the true friendship and love Winston has for him when he pleads for him to just walk away
This scene satisfied me.
I think deep down Winston wanted santino dead
