The Rules In John Wick's World Explained

- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- The John Wick series has become one of the most successful and most acclaimed modern action franchises, and it’s clear that a lot of care is put into each film. The filmmakers have established the rules of the world that John Wick operates in, and there are also some filmmaking rules that serve to make the films consistent and believable. One of these is making the actors do as many of their own stunts as they can, which fans know that Keanu Reeves is always up for. Let’s take a look at the explanation of the rules in John Wick’s world.

I really like the fact that John Wick set the standards for future action movies (minimal CGI, stable camera work, realistic gun play,....)
And good worldbuilding. More action films (not counting sci fi or superhero films) need more interesting settings.
@@vgmaster9 y h b r no/ yy u
@@dennis00zilch What?
@@dennis00zilch Are you ok, there? Not having a stroke or something?
I like the fact that these standards are pretty much fixing everything that The Matrix broke. Matrix combat looks too much like Dragonball type combat. Attack/block at super speed repeated until someone lands a super-hit. And sadly, that kinda became the norm for too long. John Wick is more of a return to the sort of combat one would see in a Chuck Norris movie like Lone Wolf McQuade, turned up to 11. I dare say that this movie series might make Keanu the next Chuck Norris. Though, we all know that when John Wick checks under the bed, he's afraid of finding Chuck Norris...
"Practical is better" sets this film franchise apart from any other.
9:59 One of the CGI uses in JW that really surprised me was the glass in these cabinets.
@@davemccombs really no
indeed long shots for pro's... jump cuts for ho's. the benchmark comparison is how many jump cuts are there for liam neeson to simply jump a fence in taken?
@@mrrolandlawrence Haha yeah nearly every action movie with Liam Neeson has an insane amount of shaky cam and jump cuts.
"It would be a bad idea to pick a fight with Keanu Reeves."
He'd never fight someone considering how nice he is. He'd be able to get himself out of the fight and sort everything out.
wholesome chungus everyone liked that reddit moment
Not with a crazy person, or someone on something like PCP. You can't talk it out with a hurricane, or a rabid animal. Sometimes, you just gotta do damage, and/or kill. That's just the universe. It's not good, it's not evil. It just is.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 Holy, it was a joke.
@@scythnix Then, comedy is not your thing. Reeves is entirely that kind of person. I like him, but I really do think he's too nice for his own good...and he's probably nicer than your "joke" implies.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 I imagine, if it came to that, it would look a lot like something my friends and I witnessed in Buffalo NY, several years ago.
We were dropping off a friend to go see his brother in Buffalo General, and were waiting for him parked on High Street when an Asian man in orange robes walked by, heading towards the main entrance. Three of the locals were following him, and closing on him. Halfway up the block, they caught up, and surrounded him.
The two friends waiting with me decided we should step in, and reached for door handles. I told them to wait. Mainly because I knew what was about to go down. Those three guys had just decided to mess with a Shao Lin monk, who had been in the order for decades.
He didn't hurt any of them, but countered every punch, kick, and charge, with them landing on their back or ass, for about 5 minutes. Funny as hell.
After that, we all stepped out of the car, and walked over, making it clear that we had seen the whole thing, and would hood them there, until LE showed up, if they didn't make like a tree and leaf. And we didn't have the do no harm, religious restrictions.
They decided that leaving on an embarrassment was better than leaving in a black and white, and haired out. After they were gone, I turned to the monk, we both smiled and bowed, and he headed towards the main entrance, and went inside. One of his brothers was just out of surgery, and he was going there to visit him, as we found out from our friend, who passed him in the hall, on his way back out.
Al stoppard and talked to him for a couple minutes, and went in with him, to pray for his brother's recovery.
Having met Keanu myself, back when he was in Buffalo filming part of a movie, he came over to check out our bikes while on lunch, I could see it going down that way. He set up a ride with us that Sunday, and we hung out with him and a couple crew members for the day. And we still keep in touch.
15 years ago, I got an infection in my left foot that led to an amputation. He called me in the hospital to see how I was holding up. The next call he made was to the gift shop, to cover the phone and TV, for me and the guy in the other bed, for the full stay, so we could keep in touch with our families, and wouldn't have to worry about that added expense. The next year, when I got married, he offered to pay for a honeymoon in Niagara Falls, which we declined, as it was during the school year, and we had an 8 year old, as well as my wife working for the high school.
Instead, a few years later, we all flew out to LA, to visit and toured the Arch facility, over winter break, and stayed out there for a week.
All because he spotted my Norton Commando, while on lunch, years earlier, and stopped to ask me about it, and my friends XS 750.
I think the beauty of John Wick will always lie in its elegance. There's crazy action scenes, explosions, the whole nine yards, but what fundamentally makes the movie fun to watch is the absolutely incredible fights between people who have devoted months of their lives to perfecting a style.
Who else is anxious for John Wick Chapter 4?
Thanks for reminding me that I am😭
@Richard Collier Basically *E V E R Y B O D Y*
Why anxious, not like they gonna make a bad movie.
@@steveroy3056 more like I am really looking forward to the next one
@Steven Lindsey I liked it better than the second one tho. In the second one, it was stupid how John retires and gets back into the crime world all over again
Eventually I what to see a John wick movie before he retired
I wanna see "The Night" that they mentioned quite a bit for John to be let out of being an assassin
@@toxictex6603 ya name John Wick “The Impossible Task”
They should do 3 prequels and 3 more sequels
1. His Birth, growing up, training, etc...ending with the execution of his first contact
2. His career; becoming the babayaga.
3. The impossible task
4. Wick 1- I want my Babayaga back
5. Wick 2 - Excommunicado
6. Wick 3- Parabellum
7. Vol. 4 - Against the table
8. The table strikes back
9. Return of the Babayaga
@@-NFiN8- the last 2 definitely are star wars titles
@@lillrascalgaming2437 🤯 They are Star Wars titles? Seriously? What an amazing coincidence. I thought they were totally original titles that I came up with all by myself.
Also, What's a Star Wars?
My favorite so far is the second movie because it discusses the world of John Wick the most. The universe is expansive enough that it could be successfully adapted into a television series, without running out of episode ideas. I can't wait for the series based on the Continental Hotel.
Irl, Keanu is his own bodyguard.
He is badass in real life, John wick is just Keanu with his badassness exaderated
Chuck Norris asked Keanu to be his bodyguard.
I liked this video....consider this a professional courtesy...

I think Johns wife will have a huge impact on the 4th movie. Most likely John will find out her death wasnt natural
That will change everything.
I think so too
now that is a twist worthy storyline.
She had cancer
dont really think that's a good idea. it would be so unnatural.
not everything needs a "deep meaning".
like shin-chan doesnt need to be based on a 5yo boy who died, k-on doesnt need to be based on high sch girls died in air crash(they are all made up by the way). ppl always thought giving meaning to sth makes it better, is it really the case?
I know 1 rule- don’t mess with his dog. He’s a great friend to have in a pinch.
Props to Common for delivering one of the best action film fights in the past decade and in the John Wick franchise. So believable.
DAMN RIGHT - to borrow the phase from my American brothers - they hit the ball out of the park.
Love Keanu Reeves one of my favorite actors of all time
I'm quite fond of viewing John Wick's Assassin universe as being one of the previous variations of the Matrix which had failed.
Under this interpretation I'd view Assassins as being the software 'Agents' of the Matrix, while real humans would ironically be the background NPCs. This helps me with why the Assassins world and motivations are skewed towards contracts and debt rather than the human feelings represented by those John Wick briefly finds in his wife. The world overall being stylized and game like.
Why not just enjoy the world of super assassins as it is.
you know - that's actually a fun idea. wrong but still a very good ''what if''
The unwritten rule in all John Wick movies: Never ever bring a gun to a pencil fight.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
But John killed 5 men with a pencil...
John wick: *exists*
Bad guy: why I hear boss music
Hi just wanna take this opportunity to appreciate you guys (fans) for your support , I read all your comment (johnwick89816@gmail.com)
I knew of Chapter 4 coming but 5 too! YES!
They should do a 9 episode John Wick saga.
1. Jardani Jovonovich - His early years, training, etc...all the way up to his first contract killing
2. Babayaga - His career as a hitman
3. The Impossible Task - How he falls in love and gets out of the business
4. John Wick 1- Return of the Babayaga
5. John Wick 2 - Excommunicado
6. John Wick 3- Parabellum
7. John Wick 4 - Against the Table
8. John Wick 5 - The Table Strikes Back
9. John Wick 6 - Electric Boogaloo (aka John Kills Everybody)
That would take away from the mystery of his past. Not everything needs a full blown origin story.
I like your "Star Wars" episode construct. But for the love of Keanu, keep Jar Jar Binks out of it.
There’s a comic series that shows most of the background stuff (before chapter 1)
@@da5hainy556 If any movie character is worthy of an origin story or three, it would be John Wick. Especially with how many details about his past have been brought to light in the first 3 movies. Besides, who wouldn't want to see him pull off the impossible task, or kill 3 guys in a bar with a pencil?
@@-NFiN8- No.
My boy beating everybody’s ass with a belt and I thought my mom was scary 😭
The continental also has really good breakfast according to Key and Peele 😂 that's how the two universes crossover
I've often wondered if the Continental was open to Civilians. Lol

And you can stay as long as you wish.
Well Santino D Antino does comment that you can stay there for as long as you want and never eat the same menu again..
This essay was intelligent, articulate, and insightful. Very well done!
Do you mean ''essay'' as in written paper work or ''essay'' as in Spanish/Mexican friend/homie.
One has to wonder why the High Table thought it was a good idea to try and kill John instead of just letting him go peacefully. Santino’s killing of his sister and betrayal of John must have raised some alarm bells over his suitability to join the High Table since it violently shakes up the status quo they’re enjoying and gives John, a legendary assassin, reason to come after them. You’d think they’d celebrate Santino’s removal since it avenges a rightful member of the table, gives its current members a chance to bolster their own power and influence in the power vacuum, and gets rid of John’s reason to stick to the assassin business. All they had to do was cancel the contract and things could carry on as normal.
Santino would of been dealt with severely for breaking the rules, the same as was set for John Wick. He broke the safe heaven rules - although understandable - still a beach of the rules set for all. NO EXCEPTIONS NO MATTER WHAT.
Now what he done wrong was go after him on his own, if he came to the HIGH TABLE, and informed of the circumstances - he would have been give permission to do so. As Santino broke some serious rules, POWER PLAYS FOR THE HIGH TABLE ARE NEVER TOLERATED - YOU EARN YOUR PLACE - YOU DO NOT INHERIT IT, OR STEAL IT.
Consequences.
Reason why Looper makes a lot of John Wick videos: because they're awesome!!!
because they get a lot of views.
Speaking of coins. Me meanwhile : " toss a coin for your witch..." damn you Dandelion.
John was only out 5 years? seems like vigo's son shouldve known who he was. Actually he probably wouldve grown up around John
Thats still unlikely, he was around 23 when we saw him so he would've been close to 18 years old by the time John got out of that life and even younger when John was actually active.
Plus John more than likely only did "business" with his dad or a third party contact with their family and never had any form of direct interaction with Iosef
His son is an arrogant Americanized ass, which is what got him killed
That's my only issue with the franchise. Iosef and his crew are the only gangsters in the whole universe who don't know who he is.
NO NO NO NO. First condition - any meetings/interactions are with the client, the client only. No other witness, no body guards nothing - just payee and payer.
Tuco is also good at putting a gun together from different parts of classic guns. TGTB&TU
RULE 1(probably the most important): DON'T KILL JOHN WICK'S DOG!!
You have to hand it to the anonymous stuntmen who make the main leads look even better with every movie. The practical stunt effects have an amazing realism.
Not going to lie John wick would be a great game
There is a tactical John wick game named John wick Hex
It would but yk whatever studio makes it, they’d find a way to screw it up
@@lancez0311 I was thinking more of an open world type game
@Ana
no, it would be a bad and frustrating game
simply because you cannot control the main character John Wicks,
no one ever controls John Wicks
Yeah, I don't know why it isn't one.
These rules are what got me very interested in Hong Kong/Taiwanese shows 30 years ago. The rules. The idea that if someone has your marker, they can ask you to commit suicide, and that'd be it. So you gotta do everything to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands. And having to kill you best friend because of the code. Something about rules-based violence is so intriguing....kinda like driving lol
Nice explanation and narration
Cleared a lot of my doubts in the trilogy
Thanks Looper
RIP, Charon. May your soul rest in eternal peace.
Kinda hope 4 would be about the “impossible task” that got John out the business.
Keanu isn't getting any younger...hard to portray your younger self.
Nah I'd rather they kept it ambiguous, living out his backstory no matter how explosive and bad ass it was would look would only take away from his Mystery(think of The Joker) but I understand what you mean
@@roverwanderernomadvagabond6392 True but makeup artist s can do wonders for how you look
Rules of the John wick world explained
Proceeds to show behind the scenes
Very that. Hahaga
You forgot the main rule. Whenever John runs out of bullets, his enemies have to go very close to him to shoot him so that he can take their gun and kill them instead.
The main rule is his cartridge is endless
Thank you for all your work on the very very outstanding movies of John Wick's World!
John Wick is one the best franchises of all time. The reasons for this is, it's able to excite, entertain and consistently develop bad-ass world building.
TERRANCE OUT
I would like to see John Wick vs. Beatrix Kiddo. Or a team up. Or just to know that they are in the same universe.
WORD
I love the John Wick universe... but I still get a chuckle every time I hear them call him Baba Yaga. That was a translation mistake, I believe it should have been Babayka, which is Russian for boogeyman.
Exactly. Baba Yaga is a witch that lives in a house that stands on chicken legs. Baba Yaga is NOT the boogeyman. LOL
Vigo actually calls him the correct name at the beginning of the first movie. But then after that everyone calls him Babayaga
Well I didn't know I needed this .
John Wick is very exciting and interesting for me to watch Mr.Reeves is truly talented as an actor great job man keep going making the Wick movies like them
Looper: Posts John Wick

Breathtaking!!!
john wick is the best action movie ever produced period.
My question is, what would happen if it was known that he had to honor a marker by killing someone on the high table?
No more sequels I guess!
@@MKD1101 true. My question is what's a higher priority, honoring a marker, or the high table?
@@hint0122 considering the fact that high table is also beneath the elder, I would say honouring the marker! I mean that was the only reason John wick was forced to get back to business.
@@MKD1101 yes, but if the contract was on a member of the high table, would it change things?
@@hint0122 i personally think it shouldn't. They are also assassins and what is the point of marker if there are some people who can't be marked? In fact, I wonder if the elder is invincible or not - that would make a good paradox, no?! 😁
You gotta love John wick
I'm excited about constipation ... can't wait for that to come out.
So you're filled with... anticipation?
I wonder if Winston has been planning to dethrone the High Table since before John's wife died. Maybe even made her sick to get him back in the game
I love the John Wick character.... The last character I loved so much was Captain Jack Sparrow

Keep John WICK
KEEP documentary about film making
THANK U
Jason Stathem VS Keanu Reeves (JohnWick5)🧐

According to *John Lott Jr's book, "More Guns Less Crime"* Americans defend themselves against violent crimes 2.5 to 4 million times per year with guns. 96% of the time, the firearm is only brandished and NOT fired. Mr. Lott got his information from statistical records kept by the FBI that is updated annually.
Thank you for saying this. I’m so tired of people making it out like guns are the problem.
thats cool and all, but what about the remaining 100,000 to 160,000 in that 4% involved? its no coincidence that america is the only developed country in the world having problem with this, one simply has to look at the map of developed countries and see that america is the only country having problems with this.
johns wick's world and story fits perfectly for an actual official video game.
I just can’t wait !, it will be wonderful, amazing just like everything my Keanu does, he is truly an exceptional actor and human being ,!❤️❤️❤️much love ❤️

Rules and facts about the movie. Nice
Feel like Mr. Wick cleared a House or so to retire.
😂 love John Wick! Patiently waiting for John Wick 4!
I want to see a john wick/cassian team up.
Excellent video!
What I really like is that john gets hit at times not like he is a superman he is just a man but very skillful....
John Wicks World doesn’t use modern technology.
I’m going to Thursday night’s premiere. 3 hours of John Wick… Priceless.
Part 4 is just awesome!
We need a prequel eventually about "the impossible task."
Sorry, those details are well, buried to say the least. Can't be done, too much at risk for that information.
Your " gun violence" statistic is way off. Yes, around 30,000 people are shot and die as.a result, every year. That is accurate. However, that statistic includes self inflicted, accidental deaths involving a firearm, and about 35 percent of that number involves suicides using a firearm.
It also includes gang and drug related shootings, where someone died, and police involved shootings. As well as self and home defense shootings.
So the actual number is far lower than what most anti 2A sources would lead you to believe. If you want an accurate breakdown by year, the FBI stats are the most accurate.
Not saying it isn't still tragic, but those numbers are padded, as a means of manipulating the public.
Keanu is a boss and always will be
I love John Wick movies but I've often thought, unless he's always using hollow points those bullets are killing people other then the dude he shoots lol.
Thank you SO much! I have the new one but have not watched it, and my wife loves the series. Gonna watch it this weekend with the wife. I had no clue what was going on. LOL. Thanks, again.
Imagine Jackie Chan in Chapter 4 as a police man just like rush hour
I might come back to watch just before John Wick 4 is released :)
After JW4 I hecking want a origin story
3:06 “the babayaga”😂😂😂
Weird exam before .
Ready for John Wick 4 !!
I expect no4 to show a hit on winston which John takes personally or John seeks the end of the high table at a planned meeting in one go. Reminds me of the spectre commitee meetings
It can still be confusing, what if someone strays from the table
John Wick Chapter 5 will gonna be like
"He killed a man with his wheelchair, WITH HIS WHEELCHAIR"
I know it's a very used meme. Pls. don't hate me
Lol
The lack of tons of innocents getting killed really does make the ultra-violence a lot more palatable for a sensitive soul lol
I bet they'll capitalize on John Wick and make a prequel show.

I sas actually excited to see the concierge in action
Cool!!!!!!
To show what you are to this world, you need to have Focus, Commitment and Sheer will..
I can't wait
John Wick is a hit because Keannu Reeves is "THE ONE"!!!!!
I’m very interested in seeing John Wick 4
I'll be honest during the scene where everyone opens their phone to see the contract on john wick i never noticed the payday masks in the background of one of the shots
“The Marker “ in the movie sounds like “ the unbreakable vow” in Harry Potter. 🤔
7:50 there is a poster of a mask from the game payday 2 it’s awesome that they added this because John wick is in payday 2
The whole John Wick series happens in Purgatory, not the real world, and represents his potential fall back into Hell. He fought to get out once before by completing the Impossible Task, and another such task will be necessary to get out once again.
I bet if a game on John Wick is made, I will sell my kidney to buy it
