Keanu Reeves had a global hit with his action-packed movie The Matrix, and none of his movies since then really lived up to how amazing it was. That is, until John Wick rolled around in 2014. This action-packed shooter with a simple plot became a surprise hit and introduced the world to some awesome gun-fu action.
The movie does raise a few questions though! Like how did they manage to get the producers to get off their back about worldbuilding details and love interests? How does anyone feel safe at the Continental Hotel? Why didn’t Viggo stick around to make sure his men took care of John Wick, and why did John make a deal with Viggo just moments later? Also, why didn’t anyone Google Baba Yaga?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to John Wick! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

The "pow pow pow, pow" variation of "wow wow wow, wow" is the highlight of my day now.
lol was looking for this comment.
I laughed and thought, I see what you did there. Lets check the comments ^^ Also, had to check Baba Jaga, and they are right :D
I think you meant to say "highlight of my day now now now, now."
Loved the pow pow pow, pow variant. Mixing things up is TIGHT!
Wow I didn't expect this to get 600 like in an hour, and to get hearted and pinned by Screen Rant. Wow wow wow, wow
And so they killed his dog
This was the first time the boss guy showed a bit of humanity
Hey, he's a soulless corporate hack, but he's not a monster.
You're making it difficult for me to ruin this movie!
@@TheMaleRei but the monster under my bed and my sleep paralysis demon like dogs too
Lmao
@@j.b.5422
Sounds like whatever is under your bed isn't a monster at all.
You should probably make friends with it.
Even demons like dogs.
The face when he hears that the dog was dead is literally the funniest thing I’ve ever seen today
Victor Hugo Macedo yeeeessss😂🤣🤣
Acting!
I loved that. It was like, "You wrecked his car and killed his dog. Now, I'm gonna have him written to kill you."
Victor Hugo Macedo my thoughts exactly
Right. That really got me😂
“You’re really making it hard for me to ruin this thing.”
The highest compliment I’ve seen pitch meetings give a movie
Me too.
The Black Panther review has some veiled compliments too.
@@heyrob-net true which I was surprised by seeing as I thought it had some huge issues
@@devprakash325 LOL someone is racist just because they didn't like a movie?
Leftists man, honestly...
@@LEWIS1992 They dont have a sense of humour...
"what does she die of?"
"she dies of being the wife of a main character in an action movie"
lmaooooo
It sure can be deadly
Or, wife of the main character in a Nolan movie.
That’s the deadliest thing ever
Super easy barley an inconvenience
Lol
“And so they kill his dog”
*silence*
Some people better die for that.
Huge acting performance there. Some nomination coming up very soon !
I’ve never seen studio head guy frown, let alone be this sad.
Entire plot explained right therw
@@MightyDantheman I think you're gonna hafta get all the way off his back about saying sad
Someone please make that a meme😂
That reaction to the news the dog dies... “some people better die for that” was my EXACT reaction when watching this movie! Spot on!
Oh, they will!
Kragnar1 they didn’t kill a dog they killed a puppy
Hector Arredondo then a trilogy of people dying is needed
I haven’t even seen the movie but literally thought the same exact thing when he said it
@@laurenc4138 you should go watch all of them
“And then he finds a dog and we’re done”
“ _Doggie_ ”
🐶🥺
That was my favorite part too!
So good! 😁
Doggie Style
Can we just talk about how amazing Ryan's acting is?
My new favorite movie reviewer. Such a great schtick!
He’s gotten really good at it
@@rivalproductions9213 he was always good at it in my opinion
And don’t forget Ryan! He’s also super talented 😁
@@stellabelikiewicz1523 like, I’d take Ryan over Ryan dude, but Ryan is still awesome nevertheless.
"She dies of being the wife of the main character in an action movie."
"That can be deadly"
😂😂😂
the impostor captain sparrow?
@@ArcadeMarx wow what a meeting! One of u is Penelope
I also thought that was super tight 😁
Every Steven Segal movie start
He's not wrong
"Well, as long as the dog is okay."
"And they kill his dog."
"… Okay, so people better die for that."
The look on the producer guy's face.... I felt one with him. Yup, kill an innocent puppy, some people better die for that...
@@foxxxy1115 The older I get - the more I realize why people prefer to be around their pet dogs/cats than other human beings.
@@gabrieljordan8015 im 20 and i've come to that realization very early...
@@lucas-xf7rc I hope your 20s go better than mine. (Almost 40 now)
Don't worry they will
I can’t get enough of this pitch!
“John Wick is gonna kill people for an hour and a half because his dog was murdered?...I’m honestly okay with that.”
That’s how I felt watching this movie. 🤣
"You're making it really hard for me to ruin this thing."
What a perfect line.
You know he liked the movie when even the producer guy can’t ruin it.
seriously one of the best action movies I ever have seen (and my dad owned at a movie theater for 15 years, so there plenty of movies).
You can't ruin anything Keanu Reeves because Keanu Reeves is God.
The movie is already ruined in the script. The plot fits in half a tweet, and it makes no sense to begin with. Random russian gansters living on American soil, they randomly get mad at him for no reason, somehow they find his house, that has no alarms or defense measures at all, somehow they manage to beat up the best killer in the world, at the nightclub Wick literally has the russian guy running 3 yards in front of him and he somehow miss 10 times lol, then the whole plastic bag assassination and the final showdown.... ugh, you need to turn your brain off and throw it off a cliff to appreciate this movie.
@@olisk-jy9rz Oh, I'm so grateful it's not just me. John Wick gets so much love, but it is honestly one of the weakest movies of the century so far. The plot is thinner than a wafer, even the plot details that are there are incongruous. It is _literally_ an excuse to have Keanu Reeves kill just a _whole bunch of people._ Also, Keanu is _still_ not a good actor. I honestly think nostalgia plays a huge part in his popularity.
@@Mentocthemindtaker one of the weakest movies of the century, interesting. In your opinion what's one of the best movies you've seen?
"John Wick is going to kill people for an hour and a half for killing his dog?"
"Yes sir"
"I'm completely ok with that"
I'd be be motivated to kill people for killing my dog as well😔
That might be my favorite line of all of these videos ever
@@malipalane2244 and what that dog represents - a gift from his wife. If my wife passed away, gave me a dog to look after and love, and it was killed, I’d go on a rage.
@@malipalane2244 true but about 98% of the people he killed had nothing to do with it
"I'm completely ok with that"
As were we all.
"Pow pow pow pow pow" instead of "wow wow wow wow wow"
Mixing things up is tight!
"a fist fight with a sixty year old" is sending me 😂😂😂 Ryan's delivery is perfect!
Being-the-wife-of-the-main-character-in-an-action-movie is a serious terminal illness and should not be taken lightly.
Edit: Well damn; thanks for all the likes, ya'll.
It's not even an Hollywood thing. It's everywhere. *looks at AJ*
Unless they are an unstoppable spy couple. I like the unstoppable spy couple thing. Where is my Get Smart sequel?
What can we as citizens do to raise awareness for Being-the-wife-of-the-main-character-in-an-action-movie-itis?
How many wives-of-the-main-character-in-an-action-movie have to die before we start talking this seriously!?
It's only less dangerous than mother-of-the-main-character-in-an-anime
"You're making it really tough for me to ruin this thing." Spot on.
Lol
@@thomaspereira2069 Guys please explain this to me? I did not understand this bit at all?
@@valinorean4816 the movie didn't try to shove exposition or love interests that we wouldn't care about that would ruin the action in the movie thus the "youre making it tough for me to ruin this thing"
So many of these pitch meetings are just an entertaining way to confirm my choice not to watch a particular movie. Then there are the ones, like this, that remind me what a fun movie it was, and how I should go watch it again.
Thank you, Ryan. 👍
“You’re making this really hard for me to ruin.” nearly made me choke on my food 😂.
“And we’re gonna keep that going ‘til the high 70’s.”
“Oh, farenheit?”
“No, corpses.”
Oh my god...
Next movie he kills like 127 people.
@@jacknapier8201 third one every fight has a theme pretty much.
That was just great
Oh a quote from the video we just watched, easy likes
Legend says the producer left hand is still measuring baba yaga droopy-ness
"They kills his dog!"
*long pause*
"Some people better die for that" legit everyone's first thought.
How real are you?
So... you like drinking water? Is a popular human activity
@@drunkcaptain2478 I see you’re a man of culture as well
@@jakeedgell591 ??
As a Slav, hearing "Baba Jaga" used as a nickname for a menacing figure is low-key hilarious.
What about a menacing woman who can go through things?
@@marquis911 It was a bit more fitting for her. I laughed regardless because of the way one of Ant-Man's buddies kept reacting to her name, like she was the devil or something 😁
@@aurea. My impression was that she *was* a menacing figure. But then again, I suppose she's a fairy tale monster so maybe it doesn't sound as threatening to adults.
Especially considering she's a female figure.
Anthony Clay The thing is, she falls into the ambiguous category of characters that were popularized as evil due to historical narrative or literary need to establish an antagonistic force but not necessarily so, I.E: Morgana Le Fay, who was not even Arthur’s enemy in oral source material, and Baba Yaga, who was portrayed as a powerful ally Ivan Tsarevich in his quest or indirectly helped Vasillisa the Beautiful in dealing with her family or being so powerful that she could command Day, Night and the Sun.
"John Wick is gonna kill people for an hour and a half cuz his dog was murdered?"
"That's right, Sir."
"I'm absolutely ok with that to be honest. You can't mess with dogs."
Literally my reaction to realizing the dog murder was the entire point of the movie.
Yep. Yep to this.
And also,
"Doggie." 😊
The fact that that is the general consensus of the audience makes me laugh
Lol sad because people don’t realize it’s not just about the Dog....
Gerstein03 Ditto 🤦🏾♂️😂🤦🏾♂️
@@bjudah mainly about the dog
Love his expression change when he hears that the dog dies.. “some people better die for that” This was amazing Ryan!!
2:23 LOL I can't breathe
"Can we at least throw a love interest in for him"
"Oh goodness no"
"You're making it really tough for me to ruin this thing"
I feel like studio executives should watch this series and take notes.
yep i like my action movies usually without love interests :)
That was a brilliant line and so directed at the countless movies that have great concepts but throw them away so easily.
@@pakwarrior1112 This goes for movies of any kind for me. Unless it adds anything, there's no point.
@@DamienDrake yeah i'd rather have stuff that gets the plot going or leads to character development. Of course in the end i'll still watch a movie with a love triangle in it because the concept of said movie seems too good, but personally i wouldn't really add romance to a story where it doesn't belong :)
I feel like this series is written for studio executives to take notes from.
Two years old and this one still cracks me the hell up! Last Christmas I played it on my phone for my brother's family. Not even knowing about Pitch Meetings and not knowning if they had even seen John Wick, they all still laughed like crazy.
- There are these Russian mafia guys, Josef and Viggo.
- Oh, Josef and Viggo, huh? Are those Russian names?
- Not at all, no.
- Well, okay then.
Josef Stalin?!
@@saymyname8925 right, I forgot you called him Joseph in English...
@@saymyname8925 he was Georgian
LMAO "You're makin this really tough for me to ruin this." I'm crying
could you say it was.... "breathtaking"?
Best joke.
@@RobotHau5 woah
@@DavidHeffron78 wow wow wow. Wow
“You can’t mess with dogs. People like them much better than humans.” So true tho.
Yeah but actually
Kinda sad for humans. Imagine one big race loves another race not their own.
Humans can be cruel and evil. Puppies are absolute lovers
dogs don't have political views and thats why everyone likes them
Sad story time! In some places that i dont rhink srill so it, if a dog bites you and causes a really high damage on someone thats less than 18 dog can get puniment up to dying
Bad part:dog dies
Good part: people probably dont do it anymore at least in countries like america
Luke McNamara thats because dogs were genetically modified from their Wolf counterparts to be dependent slaves to humans. Funny how so many animal rights activists own a dog. Notice the word “own”.
"You're making it really tough for me to ruin this thing"
Sometimes, the good movies generate the best lines
1:26 exactly my reaction. Best movie ever!!!
*Three States of Rage*
1. Grief
2. Agony
3. _"Some people better die for that"_
4. Killing everyone
5. Do a backflip snap the bad guys neck and save the day
7. Wait for a sequel
@@_02kaye Repeat! But in cooler more creative ways!
“You’re making it hard for me to ruin this thing” I think this is the first time Ryan has hinted that he liked a movie
It is lol
Hardly, a lot of Pitch Meetings that he did for acclaimed films end with, "well it sounds like a lot of fun" or "it seems like a pretty great movie."
@@windowsVD yes, but it's usually followed by a screenrant article bashing the movie.
I'm suspicious of people who don't like this movie.
@@pvshka Half of those articles don't even bash the movies, but ironic twists or a reference to the often crappy sequels.
"Keanu Reeves kills people for an hour and a half because his dog was murdered"
Best elevator pitch for John Wick I've ever heard.
“Barely an inconvenience”makes me happy every damn time. Thanks man.
"She died of being the wife of the main character in an action movie."
"Yeah, that can be deadly."
You got my 'like' right there.
You are unworthy..... unworthy
LOL I know right
Didn’t she die of stage 4 cancer though
@@ranger9968 Which they gave her because she's the wife of the main character.
"It's a mix of kung fu and shooting people in the face."
Yes, yes it is.
...GUN FU...
So Equilibrium's fighting style
Gun-kata is a thing
Gun Fu is tight!
It's even a TV Trope.
I'm still amazed how I can laugh at the same jokes from this guy after all these I've watched
God bless you man.
I just went back to watch this again. The way the smile drains off of his face about the dog is priceless. I can literally feel Ryan channeling the energy of someone who just got told the dog died.
“As long as the dog is ok”
“And they kill his dog”
“Ok some people better die for that”
Never agreed on something more 🤣
A man in the days of black and white film got relegated to forever playing a bad guy (if he got cast at all) because he kicked a dog in a film once.
Morgana V well if he actually kicked a dog then good. He should’ve told someone he won’t kick a dog
@@willbwhipping3072 I haven't seen the film so I don't know if he literally kicked it, or it was just inferred that he kicked it.
Morgana V If he didn’t actually kick the dog then that’s sad he struggled to find work but if he did it he deserved to struggle
@@MorrahaDesigns I mean, that is *literally* the trope name for, 'bad guy does something despicable to prove they're bad', so...
“So John manages to kill this guy and then finds a dog and that’s it we’re done!”
*“doggy”* ☺️
Fun fact: even the original had actors from the Matrix in it. The doctor who patched up John was the Keymaker in Reloaded, and the head thug guy that got the better of John in the club and fought him after the plastic bag was an agent in Reloaded. And, of course, the directors worked on the Matrix sequels.
Wasnt the film written by the stunt coordinator of the Matrix trilogy as well?
@@watcherzero5256 I believe so, yes. Apparently, everyone just likes working with Keanu
“Some people better die for that” was my exact reaction.
Only right reaction.
“Some people better die for that.”
I never expected to emotionally agree with the producer
Oh don't worry they will
The "killed the dog" face...your acting is criminally underrated.
“You’re making it really tough for me to ruin this thing.” LOL! ❤️
"He finds a dog, and that's it we're done"
"Doggyyy"
Then he teams up with another assassin who has 3 dogs she is very attached to.
@@wavingdragon that's the third movie
Writer: "...and they kill his dog."
Producer: (the look on his face is priceless.)
The entire sketch *stops* for a few seconds.
*Long pause* "...Okay, some people better die for that" and "Pow, pow, pow... Pow" are some of Ryan's funniest moments. I've seen dozens of these at this point, but this is my favorite so far. Genius. 🤣👌
"So then they kill his dog."
"Some people better die for that."
I approve of the doggo revenge murders.
“Oh you’re making it really hard for me to ruin this thing”
😂
“We’ll keep it going into the high seventies!”
“What, like Fahrenheit?”
“No, corpses!”
“Oh, my God!”
Ryan's face when he heard John's dog didn't make it is how I felt when I saw the movie no mercy John
That reaction to "and they kill his dog" ... gold! His face as well, nice. Exactly how I felt watching the movie.
I think this is the first time we've ever seen the producer without a smile on his face.
That was so funny! XD it just dropped off and he was like ok people better die for that
He killed a killed a widdle pupper.
Wreck-it-Ralph Pitch Meeting, when he wanted King Candy to look and talk like the Mad Hatter
@@kinggordoproductions6203 Really?
*in a completely monotone, yet strangely-threatening voice*: “This is happening. Are you on board or not?”
“OH my gosh, I guess I’m on board then!”
*back to the normal cheery voice*: “Great!”
Ryan: "Hey guys its ryan here. Hope you liked that pitch meeting..."
Everyone else: "you know i did, pitch meetings are tight!"
You have to understand I can’t like it now
Can confirm about Baba (old woman) Yaga and Babaika (the spooky monster that parents use to scare their kids).
He dogge 5:35
“And then John does a backflip, snaps the bad guys neck and saves the day.”
What about if he just shoots people point blank in the face?
“Pow pow pow pow?”
Wow wow wow wow. Wow.
I was really hoping that Producer Guy would have asked if John Wick could do a backflip and land behind that bad guy first but I guess it's in Ryan's best interest to keep his personal works separate from his Screen Rant works.
@@Dargonhuman damn i was really hoping he said that, bc doing backflips, snapping back guys necks while saving the day is tight!!
@@AnimeZone247 Yea yea yea!
John Wick is going to kill people for an hour and a half for killing his dog? I'm absolutely okay with that.
Proud to be your 69th like. Have a great day. Stay safe.
I mean...who wouldn't be?
But also for killing his sniper friend.
I am too
"Oh! You're making it really tough for me to ruin this" This is to let you know how much he loved the movie
the shift from that cheesy grin to a look of pure despair is pure *gold*
"They kill his dog." (long pause) "Some people better die for that..." Yeah, exactly how I felt.
Nah i felt like they shouldnt have made a 2 hour killing cutscene three times because of the sence pf vengeace for a goddamn puppy

That smile slowly escaping his face is something else
I had to rewind twice to see his reaction to "and they kill his dog"... It's priceless!

"She dies from an illness."
"What illness?"
"Being the wife in an action movie."
"Oh yeah! I hear that can be deadly."
Classic Steven Segalitis

Just rewatching this coz Pitch Meeting of John Wick 2 just dropped like 5mins ago... Heaven 😍
When he says “doggy” at the end I nearly lost it 😂 😂
You are making this tough for me to ruin this thing!
Funniest thing I've heard in a long time
Put quotation lol
Actually it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Possibly my favourite Pitch Meeting gag so far.
@@remliqa best line ever!
I really hope he does Pitch Meetings for the entire series
Yes!
The problem is that basically it would be :
So he kills a very big bunch of people in very creative, brutal and graphic ways
But isn't that gonna be hard for him?
Actually no... It's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Okay then! What's the plot?
I don't understand the question
Alright! Not having a plot is tight!
I really love the John Wick Movies but the "story" of the third one wasn't even worthy of a trash movie...
@@TheHimbeerjoghurt i think second one is the lowest. Third one gives more backstory of John wick and other characters.
@@TheHimbeerjoghurt The story of the other 2 movies is "killing people is tight" too
@@TheHimbeerjoghurt The story in 3 was def better than 2. But if you need more of a JW fix watch The Raid and The Raid 2
1:37 is facts
Possibly my favorite pitch meeting, for possibly my favorite movie. You pick apart John Wick's issues very accurately, while still acknowledging how genuinely awesome the movie is overall.
"unclear" is an underrated line in these that gets me every time.
It's 'barely an inconvenience' that does it for me
"Unclear" is very underrated. "Bare an inconvenience" is a catchphrase at this point. Love the delivery of both though.
I love “Unclear,” and also the way that Producer Guy says “Huh!”
I always wait for him to say to the producer he need him to get way off his back about this.
"Why?"..."because".
Then John Wick did a backflip, snapped the bad guy's neck, and saved the day.
I believe it.
Hahahahahahaha lmao! Tell me more!
Lmao
This one is good.
Is that true
"Then hes gonna find a dog and thats it we're done"
"doggy"
THANK you for this. As someone who's married to a Russian woman, it's impossible to watch John Wick and take it seriously knowing any amount of Slavic folklore. This screen rant bowled her over with laughter.
“So John manages to kill this guy then he finds a dog and that’s it we’re done”
“Doggy”
😂
😂😂😂
Doggy 🐕 🐶
Doggy :3
That was literally favorite scene
Oh man don't know why I laughed so hard when he said that doggie.
3:30 - Executive, "You're making it really tough for me to ruin this thing." You don't know how true this is with studio executives.
cough, Justice League, cough
1:19 that was priceless
The way his face falls when he hears the dog died is perfection...
The way the producer guy said “doggy” so casually at the end was hilarious
"She dies of being the wife of the main character in an action movie." Lol. Oh god, so true.
Being an adopted child can be equally deadly.
Or just generally being in a positive relation with the main character
"So then John manages to kill this guy and then he finds a dog, and that's it, we're done."
"Doggy!"
Anime Protagonist parents can relate
'As long as his dog is ok' - literally choked my sandwich at the next line. These are genius!
When the movies so good that you basically tell the whole story haha. Loved it
Screen Rant: Ryan, can you keep Screen Rant a successful UA-cam channel?
Ryan: Actually its gonna be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
@King Lurch Jokes relating to Screen Rant are TIGHT.
“Well as long as the dog is ok”
“And they kill the dog”
😁😃😌🙂😑😟😠😡
Yeah please edit this comment
Please do it aagghh
Kian Etemadi lmao
How are the emojis so perfect
Lmao that "doggy" line at the end literally figuratively killed me
2:10 this little bit of trivia actually came in in a conversation recently. Funny I found in here afterwards again
That "killed his dog?" moment was the funniest moment in any Pitch Meeting to date. "Some people better die for that" was a total natural reaction, too.
Yep...I've laughed at a lot of these videos but never so hard than that moment...cried laughing
I think I've rewatched just that part about 8 times now, definitely the funniest bit he's ever done.
"Can we at least throw in a love interest for him?"
"No, you cannot."
"Man, you're making it really hard to ruin this thing."
Yes I love the dog part, but this was my favorite. 😂😂😂
I dodged watching this for so long because I really liked the movie and I didnt want to hear whats wrong with it. The bit with "you are making it hard for me to ruin this" really hit home
I'm so torn which part was better between those two moments. I lean toward the "You're making it really hard for me to ruin this thing" as well.
When was this part
The "doggie" part at the end was adorable
These are FANTASTIC!!! I wish I had found these during the lock-downs
I hadn't realized that he never made a pitch meeting on these movies... but it's about damn time
He must have been saving it
They’re almost too good to touch, honestly. Wouldn’t want to send the wrong message about them.
“You're making it rough for me to ruin this thing”
Exactly what happened during the production of this movie.
The slow fade of his smile followed by “OK SOME PEOPLE BETTER DIE FOR THAT” is just the highlight of anything ever. I mean just... wow wow wow. Wow.
