    I think you missed the part at the end where Winston told John that D’antoni’s contract had doubled & gone international. So not only can he not get any help or respite from the Continental, since he’s excommunicado, there’s an international 14 million dollar hit out for him. That’s what Winston was giving him the ‘one hour’ for.

    So Alex, to clarify, being an excommunicado in that universe means that he's like a wanted criminal among all those criminals, so nobody will be able to help him when that one hour passes (it was like the biggest thing Winston could do for him), or they'll be also breaking the Continental rules. Also, that contract on him still remains, and because he's neither gonna get help from anyone nor get a shelter in Continental, he's "free money" for everyone

    "he doesn't remember but we met MANY years ago" - Bowery King, because they also met in the Matrix! Another fun fact, when anyone says "oh" on the phone when dealing with John Wick it's a call back to the Matrix when Neo says "Whoa" after entering the Matrix. Also, notice that no civilians are ever killed in these movies, they did it on purpose so it keeps the two worlds separate so you don't have to worry about them getting arrested or caught because it's completely separate. When I got to the part where you mentioned them needing 200 people to take him out or just leave him alone, I'm glad you didn't know what was about to happen in this movie. Lot more than 200 people! I want to see John Wick go grocery shopping as well, gets attacked and kills someone with a kiwi fruit.

    At 31:26 I like the detail in the fact that John does a press check on the Kimber. Since Kimber .45's are notorious for jamming on the first round of a new magazine. Not only a cool little trick, but also a nice detail with the gun he's using.

    Lance Reddick who played Charon (the front desk guy) passed away in March. He also did the voice of Commander Zavala in the game Destiny 2. Bungie, the company that makes the game has basically imortalized him and paid amazing tribute to him inside the game. He was a great actor for sure. His role in the series The Wire was great as well.

  • @Texan45

    The John Wick series is not only a fresh spin on action movies (which has been repeated to hell and back) but it has a new fresh story. JW is a very deeply interwoven story with so many layers. John was forced back in the first one and fought for his wife's memory. In the second, he fought because he fought for Helen. In the third movie, he fights because he killed someone on Continental property, which is sacred because the High Table protected it. That's why you can't conduct assassin business there.
    It's an extremely well-written story and fun fact, Chad Stahelski is not only Keanu's stunt double from the Matrix but JW is also his first director job. It's extremely rare for a first-timr director to make a giant success their first time out, but he did it. Next spring, John Wick Chapter 4 comes out. LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!

    Because of the nature of the Camerawork, very few cuts, tracking shots, his face being in frame quite a bit etc., 99% of the gunplay was done by Keanu himself. As for the stunts, as long as it wasn't too dangerous Keanu did it. He wanted to do it all but was apparently pushed back by the studio and director due to insurance reasons. But he did as much as he could possibly do himself.

    I grew up out in the country in southeast Arizona so small town boy and hated it, I always told my friends as soon as I'm an adult I'm outta here. I joined the Navy and was so stoked to get out of the country, I went to Tokyo, Hong Kong, Dubai, LA, was stationed outside Seattle during the grunge movement so as a older teen/young adult, that was amazing to me. Especially being such a music fan. But now that I'm pushing 50, my wife and I had a house built out back out in southeast AZ 60 miles from the nearest city of Tucson out in the desert in the foothills. So peaceful, but it is funny how as you get older you kinda go full circle. I appreciate the country and the peacefulness way more now

    The perfect thing about the John Wick movies is that they fit Keanu Reeve's acting abilities like a glove. That is, looking way cool, saying very little and only in a low gruff voice, except for the occasional psychopathic outburst. The Clint Eastwood school of acting. Bruce Willis followed the same path and it served him well.

    It's a fast scene, and I'm watching on my small phone screen, but from what I know of anatomy, I'm guessing John Wick slashed the femoral artery, right where the upper thigh joins into the groin. That is one of the "certain death by *rapid* blood loss" cuts to make; the femoral artery is one of the main blood vessels of the body.

    They were planning to film Wick movies 4 & 5 together, just as the Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions were, but the pandemic screwed that up. and only Chapter 4 was written and filmed. Now director Chad Stahelski said Chapter 4 MAY wrap up the Wick storyline so we might not get a Chapter 5 after all. We all must wait for March 23, 2023, for the teaming of John Wick and The Bowery King to go up against The High Table.
