These movies are a thrilling treat to watch, no matter how many times I see them. I can't wait for the next one
these are the best actions movies in years never get tired of watching them
John Wick is the Angel of Death.
For my recent birthday, I grabbed a pizza and watched all 3 released John Wick movies back-to-back-to-back. They are all THAT GOOD for a binge-watching evening.
You should look up Taran Tactical's channel and watch Keanu Reeves and Halle Berry training in 3-gun discipline for the John Wick movies (she's in "John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum"). The lead instructor and owner of the school, Taran Butler, is a world-championship professional shooter. Watching Keanu shred in 3-gun (pistol, rifle, shotgun) is a Ballistic Ballet.
Hi consider " nobody" also ,it was made by same John wick team ( dir , producer, stunts) and many say it's as good.
The filmmakers choosing to have the dog killed was narrative genius. They needed the viewer to get behind killing 77 people.
After the kid kills that puppy we don't care how many people Wick has to kill to get to him.
@@ronweber1402 exactly that’s the point.
It was actually Keanu’s idea for the dog to die. He didn’t feel harming the dog and stealing his car was enough to send him over the edge.
You're right anybody that John kills is completely justified through his unrestricted desire for revenge.
Killing 77 people is a LIGHT day for Mr Wick.
There's a lot of details I love about this movie, but I think one of the coolest, is the dog he takes at the end, there's a big ol stamp saying, "to be put down" on the paperwork. It's easy to miss on first viewing. So he doesn't just steal someone's dog, he rescues a puppy from death.
Ohhh I missed that detail. Thanks for sharing!
@@NewfieMovieReactions - You missed a LOT of details... you talked over most of the dialogue, then ended up being confused about things they'd fully explained.
@@Mr.Ekshin Fair point, but such is the nature of any “reaction” video. Due to the copyright limitations, they kinda *have to* talk over the footage/dialogue in order to have content to use in videos. I’ve learned to take joy in how each reactor picks up on different things and the impact it has on their interpretation 👍
@@cometgirl217 - No... no they do NOT "kinda have to talk over the footage/ dialogue" in order to skirt copyright laws.
@@Mr.Ekshin Ok! Have fun being wrong 🤣
Marcus was always on John's side. Everyone who reacts to this movie thinks exactly what you did that he was a villian. The coins aren't a currency they are a social contract which is explained in a later movie. When Francis tells John how many kilos, not pounds, he lost it is the number of guards in the club. There are lots of things like this hidden in all three movies.
I think it's funny that people just instinctively distrust Willem Dafoe. 😂
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Red Herring typecasting at its best.
The tattoo on back John's back that reads "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat", translated from Latin into, "fortune favors the bold" Fun fact, the director Chad Stahelski was brought in as a body double for Brandon Lee in the 1994 film The Crow following Brandon's death.
Yes, that was Big Sexy Kevin Nash. Love that cameo so much. Gave us a little insight to their relationship (seems like they like each other) and I think John was secretly asking how many guards were in the club and Nash let him know. Wick then says to his friend "you should probably take the rest of the night of buddy".
The hardest scene was the trail of blood..the puppy crawled to him.😭
One of the best things about these movies is that there is no neverending magazine in the guns like a lot of action movies. The bullet counts are accurate for the weapon being used and Keanu Reeves training in martial arts and weapons handling is just unbelievable for a guy of 50+ years of age.
I appreciated that as well. Made it so realistic when we see John hurrying to reload. That and how dirty the fighting is.
He trains in 3-gun. And in every movie thus far, he's used all three. Pistol, rifle, and shotgun.
Fun fact, Keanu actually trained with firearms and learned to do all the combat and has become amazingly proficient. You can see videos of him online at shooting ranges.
If I'm not mistaken.. didn't he also set the course record for the 3 gun?
@@Blackdog06019- Doubtful. He’s good, but not that good. His teacher, Taran Butler, estimated he was about an A or Master level shooter. Taran Butler himself is a Grand Master.
In regards to John's tattoo on his back.
"Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat" in Latin translates roughly to "Fortune Favours the Bold"
They messed with the wrong former assassin for hire in this action adventure thriller!
When they killed the dog, it wasn't just a pet, it was supposed to represent John having a normal life, but when they killed the dog, they took away his one chance of happiness.
Where I'm from, a normal person would take the path John takes. Though, it would wind up being more along the lines of a "half a state's worth of rednecks makes the mafia mysteriously disappear" than "one man wrecking crew".
I find it funny how long it takes so many people to understand the Continental. I got it from the moment he walked into the Club and Winston said Rules.
Yes that was Kevin Nash. There is a theory that when he said he lost over 60 kg he was actually telling John that there were over 60 guards in the place.
I think there are disputes on what he actually said and what subtitle said. Heard it was actually 27 and not 60 which makes more sense
@@crimsonknight7011 Yes it 'was' 27Kilos, and because the text writer didn't understand it was code for 27 bodyguards inside, the text writer changed it to 60 pounds for the American audience thinking he was actually talking about weight.
The most realistic parts of the fighting for me is that real fights are dirty and messy, and everyone gets hurt. Most films show the protagonist almost unharmed, maybe a bruise or a cut, but this shows how ungainly and dirty fighting really is. Love that John gets hurt and quite badly. It's more realistic. Bring on number 2!
love that these movies don't use jump cuts for the action scenes. you actually get to see it play out in full takes and some long takes. really makes the action feel real and visceral
In a world that had gotten soft and largely forgotten how to make good action movies, the people who made the John Wick moves stepped up and gave us what we really needed. And turned it up way past 11, to 25.
That was Kevin Nash. Kevin said in an interview that the comment of him losing over 60 KG wasn't referring to weight but was tipping John Wick off that over 60 security guards awaited him inside.
Just a couple comments here. When Viggo was hiring Marcus (this line was edited out) after he asked Marcus "Would you kill John Wick for 2 million dollars?". Marcus replies, "is the contract exclusive?" to which Viggo replies "No, it's open". Meaning that ANYONE can fill the contract. Marcus needed to know this and when told the contract was open he immediately started to shadow John and doing what he could to keep him alive. (including warning him about Perkins with the bullet shot right next to his head while John was lying in bed) John Wick has the Latin phrase "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat" tattooed on his back. It means Fortune Favors The Brave. (or The Bold)
My favorite detail was how throughout the move Vigo goes from serious and collected to unhinged and erratic. Constantly drinking and smoking that OOOOIIEEE to deal with the stress
1. I love your channel and John Wick is great movie trilogy (for now), reccomend to do some behind the scenes research
2. The tattoo John has translates to- fortune favors the bold (he was in the army- marines)
3. The gold coins dont have any specific currency, its just a symbol you might say
Great work, and keep it up
In the real world they would be krugerrands. It’s a South African coin that contains a troy ounce of gold.
I love the whole history they created throughout the movies about the hotels and the association itself, from the high table to the coins and everything in between
The director of this movie is/was Keanu Reeves stunt double. I think that’s why the action is so well done and filmed, they know how to make it look good.
This movie should be taught in film school for demonstrating "show, don't tell." The subtle details that viewers are shown in the Wick universe that they have to figure out, like the gold coins. All of these and more are plot points that viewers are able to question and see how it all fits together instead of just an exposition dump by a character, and it draws us in, cementing us into being engaged with the film and characters. I mean, it takes over a half hour just to learn who the main character is!! BRILLIANT lol
If you love this movie for the action, and I think others will agree with me, if you have not already seen it you should definitely check out The Raid: Redemption. You won't be sorry you did if you love action movies! (Fun fact, the director of this movie, was the stunt coordinator on The matrix movies)
During his fight with Viggo John guided the knife to where he was stabbed earlier at the club. Definitely need to keep going with the John Wick series. They have 4 coming out next year and are already working in 5.
To all whom it may concern, the shotgun around 25:00 is Kel-Tec KSG.
grew up watching this with my dad and me and him both love them all and can't wait for the 4th one
Fun fact for you. The conversation between the guard Kevin Nash plays and John Wick is also in code. Hes telling him how many guards there are in the building. Thats partly why he lets him go.
I am convinced John not saying anything to Viggo is a Easter egg for the Allison Krause song: "It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart. Without saying a word you can light up the dark.
Try as I may, I could never explain what I hear when you don't say a thing... You say it best when you say nothing at all."
Allison's version is actually a cover of the Keith Whitley song.
The tattoo on the top of his back is Latin for "Fortune favors the brave"
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) was born Jardani Jovonovich in Belarus. He was an orphan, and was taken in by the Tarasov Russian Mafia where he was raised as an assassin. He was so ruthless that the mafia boss Viggo Tarasov respected and feared him. At the beginning of the first film, Wick had been retired from being a hitman for five years. Peace out.
All three of these movies are awesome. I'm hoping that the fourth one will be just as good.
When you're done with these movies, you should definitely react to Nobody.
"In the words of Russell Peters" 🤣😂 and yea, that's Kevin Nash.
The tattoo is Latin: "fortis fortuna adiuvat". Most people translate it to "Fortune Favors the Bold," but that's not quite right. It's more accurately rendered "fortune helps the strong". It's a proverb about being competent and prepared to handle anything life throws at you.
@ 24:39 …I may be wrong but it’s like a modified bbj technique called a Peruvian necktie …modified of course because the johns hands are tied.
Great reaction my man and congrats on the first sponsorship. (A great creative company too! Imma def check movie pallet out and use ya code!)
"Don't bring a knife to a John Wick fight" - CinemaSins
That is indeed Kevin Nash who also played a Russian Hitman in the Punisher with Thomas Jane
If I remember correctly, the tattoos basically means “Fortune Favors The Bold”
very kevin nash... such a legend. the orginal man of 5 moves of doom
The tattoo says "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat" which is Latin for "Fortune Favours the Bold" or "Fortune Favours the Strong"
The thing you missed is that it was where his wife collapsed as he walked away at the end of the movie.
I haven't gone through the comments, but John's tattoo translates to "Fortune Favours the Brave"
"Dinner reservation for 12" was code for how many bodies to dispose of.
Thanos: *snaps his finger*
Corvus Glaive: Sir, John Wick survived.
Thanos: Ok. Good for him.
Corvus Glaive: His dog didn't.
Thanos: Oh...
LOL! Good one!
You need to think of the gold coins outside of our monetary mindset. It's more about honor and reputation.
In the JW universe, being a hitman is like being an Uber driver. There's a gig economy for contract killers.
Notice that Jimmy took his hat off and used it to cover his bodycam once he saw John was "entertaining"
Jimmy and Francis are two of the smartest characters in this movie. John Wick is working again? Be polite and stay out of his way.
It's also darkly hilarious to me that Iosef and his crew appear to be the only ones in his father's organization that don't know who John Wick is.
by thine own hand revoked BANG best line ever. and get used to the "Oh" you head it more. lol two and three and this spring FOUR!!!!!
The funny thing is, this isn't actually structured like an action movie--it's a horror movie, told from the perspective of the monster. Basically, it's like Jason Vorhees decided to retire to the suburbs and live in peace, only for some punks to break into his home and screw everything up.
John Wick is #3 on my list of favorite movies ever. #3 out of 134
The way you were able to appreciate the authenticity of the action scenes makes me feel like you got a background in fighting sports or martial arts, do you?
Also dope ass reaction 🔥
The Latin quote tattooed on his back translates to "Fortune favors the brave"
The tattoo is Latin. It translates to "Fortune Favors the Bold"
I have been saying the exact same thing for a while now: this is the GOAT action franchise.
Yeah, that was Kevin Nash with a small roll. Big Daddy Diesel can't stop the freight train that is John Wick
3:25 site alert, calling stuff.-Ernie Moore Jr.
The dog was the last gift given by his wife
Congratulations on your 1st sponsor 🎉🎉🎊🎊
You know 2 and 3 might be even better then 1... so you are in for a treat.
The John Wick movies are made by alot of the crew who made the Matrix. So the stunt team knows Keanu well.
that was indeed Kevin Nash lol
You would probably like Jason Bourne and also “the replacement killers”
"Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat" roughly translates to Fortune favors the Bold latin proverb dating back to Roman times
And the charming guy is back with the great movie😁 just a recommendation here “ 3 idiot “ one of the legendary great bollywood movie . This movie has all comedy, emotions, dramatic, joyfull etc its is must watch movie and i am sure it will boost your views
Perkins knew about it because she followed John and called Viggo to let him know that Marcus helped wick, rather than kill him.
Great reaction handsome!!! And props to the Punisher t-shirt!!!
Thanks! I love Punisher. In my top 3 favorite comic characters. :)
@@NewfieMovieReactions ESP the early editions!
Marvel fans will love anything that looks cool no matter the reality of any situation
These 3 films are S tier in my opinion. So good and another one is coming out next year
Love all John Wick movies
The whole society in John Wick is about the mob and assasins. The Contential Hotel (one of many around the world) is safe ground, no business/killings allowed). The gold coins is the currancy of this mob society, represnting more of an honor and promise rather than actual monetary amount. Dry cleaning might get 1 coin, while buying a new pistol might be 3. They have their own government, The High Table, we learn about in further films.
Each one of those gold coins he drops is worth about $1500.
Woah! Nice! He gave the clean up crew a big stack of em too. :D
John Wick is a cross between the Punisher and the Terminator.
Disney+ now has parental controls so that they can show more similar stuff like this.
This is a good reaction. Love you expressing the MMA knowledge.
Fortune favors the bold.
"Fortune favors the bold" Peace out.
Are you a UFC or WWE fan? You knew the martial arts moves (like kimura) and also mentioned Kevin Nash, so I am curious. I am a fan of both, which always feels rare because everyone I know only likes one or the other lol.
Also, The Punisher is one of my all-time favorites as well! The fight scenes feel so real, so it was fun to see your enjoyment with this movie. Your energy was contagious, man. It felt like I was watching it for the first time again. Can't wait for you to see the next John Wick movie!
Hey Tyler. Yeah I've watched UFC/Pride and MMA since they first aired back in the day. However, I haven't really watched UFC in the last 2 years. So I'm out of the loop. I've studied Jiujitsu for a few years as well. :) I watched WWE right up until about 2002. Haven't watched it since. Glad you enjoyed the reaction. Thanks for the kind words. :)
@@NewfieMovieReactions An old-school MMA fan, right on! It's so cool that you study jiu jitsu. I knew you had to know something about fighting the way you highlighted things about the fight scenes. Knowing a martial art makes these movies that much better because Keanu does a great job with all the techniques!
John Wick tried to commit suicide by driving into the snowplows. But he stopped
It's funny I just watched this movie last week, it's awesome you're just seeing it for the first time, wait until John wick 2. It's the best one in the series imo
Everyone respect JOHN WICK
The best action movies of the last decade
FINALLY YOU REACTED IT
Before we start, welcome to Gun fu Newfie, excited about this one :)
Oh, the Continental takes people breaking their rules VERY seriously. You'll see more in the next film.
congrats on the sponsor!
Thanks! :D
That was indeed the Kevin nash
I really enjoyed you review! You need to review Saving Private Ryan, Hacksaw Ridge, man on fire
Keanu ❤rocks that thing!!
**Fan of punisher? WATCH PUNISHER WARZONE 2008 movie. It is close enough like this but ofcourse comic booky brutalities. Not perfect but it is my no #1 punisher movie really. Love the actor in it.**
If I’m not mistaken, Keanu took martial arts classes and shooting classes for these movies plus he did his own stunts.
He’s always done that.
He didn’t do all of the stunts. Things like getting thrown off the balcony or hit by the car is a stuntman.
I love the John Wick movies but there is always that little voice in the back of my head whispering:" He would be dead 10 times in every movie. And he kills like a hundred people in each one, too. Often not self defense🤨."
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
The coins are not really money per se. John hands the disposal crew guy 12 - one for each body removed. They are just currency for the High Table (the criminals' "union".
If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely watch Mad Max: Fury Road.
Yeah Punisher should be JUST like this and the Netflix Punisher, I REAAAALLY hope they don't Disn-ify it because that wont be the Punisher. And this movie is amazing, cant wait for 4.
Pretty sure the coins are at least based on Krugerrands which are a type of currency from South Africa that's known for being rather untraceable.
His tattoo says, fortune favors the bold
Yeah that was Kevin Nash.
You should put 'Nobody' on your watch list it is from the same people as John Wick
