    At the dog shelter/kennel at the end, the clipboard for the dog he took was in focus for just barely long enough to see that the dog didn't belong to anyone, but was actually scheduled to be euthanized. So, he didn't steal someone else's dog. And, on a lighter tone, despite all the rest of the killing in the movie, John's last act of the film was to save a life.

      Dude is pretty much as impressive as John Wick with guns. The best part about being there when these movies were coming out was seeing the training videos blow up on the internet before them.
      He did all his own driving too, including jumps and drifts, everything except actual stunts like some stuff that comes in the later movies. And even then, no spoilers, but in the last movies there are a few notable stunts where it _is_ actually him. Not the big ones you're thinking of, but the shots where he has to do a stunt and then keep fighting. He got better as he went from his early 50's to his late ones.

    Some fun facts, if already said, you can disregard:
    -Johns preferred drink is Blantons reserve bourbon
    -The movie is dealing with grief, hence the muted and grey overtones
    -the lighting is part of the story “blue is safe, red is danger”
    -the hotel is a sanctuary for assassins, hence the harsh penalty for “breaking the rules”
    -the guards in the red circle vip room are wearing red shirts
    -the doctor is played by the same actor as the key maker in the matrix movies
    -the gold coins denote notoriety/status over monetary value, so if a lesser assassin uses the same coins they will need more due to lower status
    -the dog at the end is Keanus real life dog
    -I believe John is the only one that refers to every continental manager by first name

    There is conjecture that John's wife was a veterinarian. She had a dog sent to him. He knew exactly where he could get meds and everything needed for his wounds. He watched the phone video of her right in front of the place he went to for the meds. He picked a dog that was scheduled to be put down. And as he walks away with the new dog he is walking the same route where his wife collapsed in the beginning.

    "You dragged his dead dog to him?" Although they surely could have wanted to be that cruel, I don't think they value dogs enough to have considered it. No, I have always believed that the fatally injured dog crawled back to John before dying.

    A few things:
    The whole scene with the cop isn't friendship. The cops know who John Wick is. They know what he does (or rather, USED to do), hence Jimmy's "Uhh....you workin' again?" question. But, most importantly, they know there isn't a DAMNED thing they could do to stop him anyway, so as long as he keeps to himself and only kills people who, you know, invade his house and try to kill him or steal his car and kill his dog, there's zero reason to get in his way and end up in his crosshairs.
    The scene outside the Red Circle, John asks Francis if he's lost weight, although you didn't show that part. Francis' answer (27 kilograms) tells John that there are 27 bodyguards inside. That's why John gives Francis "the night off".
    The scene INSIDE the Red Circle: Notice how John is such a professional killer that he almost never misses and has almost no wasted movements? Yet when Iosef is running past the glass, John takes four very steady, unimpeded shots and misses all four? DELIBERATE. He doesn't just want Iosef dead, he wants him TERRIFIED, questioning ever having crosses paths with John in the first place, and completely devoid of any hope of escaping the inevitability that is John Wick...and THEN he wants him dead.
    The final scene: The papers on the front of the pupper's kennel indicate that it is to be euthanized in the morning. So the last thing John does in a movie all about a roaring rampage of revenge that kills dozens of people is SAVE a life that didn't deserve to die.

    If you look into Mr. Keanu Reeves past, you'll see little tidbits of that thrown into JW here, obviously more extreme here.
    I had the honor of being a background extra in one if his movies called Feeling Minnesota. He became my favorite actor after witnessing how decent of a human being he was on set. Always helping crew, talking with the extras, and just treating everyone so well and with so much respect. To many other things to go into here, but look into it and you will find how incredible of human he is.
    Anyway, looking forward to the reactions for JW 2-4 😊

    I really enjoyed your reaction to this movie. You mentioned how much you liked the character Aurelio, played by John Leguizamo. There's another terrific movie where he was a supporting actor, called "The Menu." This is an amazing movie, starring Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy. It's about a young couple travels an exclusive restaurant on an island, where the chef has prepared a very special dinner for his guests.

    I've only seen one or 2 reactors pick up on that actually the streak on the floor is that the dog crawls over to John before it passes, and also that the dog at the end is labeled on it's cage as to be put down, striking parallels to the beaten down John.

  • @johndaily263
    @johndaily263 11 місяців тому +7

    So many great scenes in this one, and obviously the fight choreography is amazing, but the “killed that from me” cry of rage will always be my favorite scene.
    The rest of the movies are entertaining, but for me they don’t have the same emotional core, and the series is getting repetitive to the point where I haven’t bothered to see the 4th movie.

    • @blatherama
      @blatherama 11 місяців тому +1

      The 4th movie has its moments, but its self-indulgent. Lets just say, I was fine with the Arc D'Triomphe and the Dragon's Breath scenes, but the stairs, my goodness, why the endless stairs? Twice to three times.

    • @reactswithjax
      @reactswithjax  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes! The fight choreography was very impressive. The dialogue was selective, but what was said was so impactful.

  • @Robmcil
    @Robmcil 11 місяців тому +3

    Great review. Always enjoy watching your reactions. I glad lamby is ok, thought you might squeeze him to death during this movie. Its a great movie and Keanu is a great actor. Fun fact the original script had Jon talking a lot more, but he (Keanu) thought Jon would be more menacing if he only spoke when absolutely necessary and the director agreed. It really works and when you think about it he is very silent for most of the movie. Also as you mentioned in your Intro he did a lot of physical training for this movie, to make all the actions seem fluid and believable. He did most of his own stunts that allowed them to do more wide and long shots of the action. The only stunt he did not do was the fall when we was thrown over the balcony.
    Two FUN FACTS about the movie
    First when he picks out the new dog to take home you see him walking in front of the cages looking at the paperwork. Its a very small detail the dog he chooses to take the paperwork said To Be Put Down. So he did not take someone else's dog he saved a dog's life.
    The second fun fact is that the actor who played the thug who actually killed Jon's dog was actually very upset by it. He wanted to make sure that the dog had a good home and was taken care of after the movie so he actually adopted the actual dog in real life

    • @reactswithjax
      @reactswithjax  11 місяців тому

      Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Haha, Lamby is doing just fine now that he's had some time to recover from John Wick. I loved that John didn't talk much. He said so much more without words. I'm also glad he saved a little dog at the end. I figured that was the case but I missed what the paperwork said. ❤️

  • @RPGryphus
    @RPGryphus 11 місяців тому +4

    I've watched many thousand movies, and nearly 90% of all movies of all genre from the 90s to today. I've never watched a movie that built up its main character so perfectly and so epicly for such a long length. Usually movies will build the reputation of its main character in less than 5 minutes, it goes from a no body or a rather normal dude to a bad ass and sometime to a god-mode bad ass. For John Wick movies, not only we build the dark and menacing reputation of John, but they do it for a long period, starting from Aurelio who goes against the spoilt son of his boss, which up to this point he probably never even talk back to Vigo's son and s**k his d**k whenever asked, as we can attest with Vigo's son reaction clearly indicating that Aurelio NEVER acted like that toward him before. Than we have the fact that Aurelio closed his shop and STAYED, waiting for a "no body" serving him wine. Then we have the discussion with Vigo with the most bad ass scene ever with his "Oh...". And many more scenes following, and every time it keeps building the reputation of John when you think we already reach the ultimate badassery. The cherry on the top, concluding this built up is when even the establishment shows reverence to him, with Jimmy, the cop, showing at his door, being super respectfully and not too intrusive... while clearly seeing bodies all over the place. That cemented John's reputation as the most bad ass character in cinema history still to this day. The following movies are good, but far from being as good as the first and I hope with all my heart that this movie will be a study case for futur upcoming filmmakers. There is so much to learn from the first movie.

  • @dolyharianto

  • @craigw1911
    @craigw1911 11 місяців тому +3

    Looking forward to seeing your reactions to Chapters 2, 3, and especially 4. There's a fight scene in 4 that is nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece. The production team of the John Wick series was started by stuntmen, director Chad Stahelsky was Keanu's stunt double in The Matrix. The goon that threw Wick over the railing and got strangled later played one of the Agents in The Matrix Reloaded. The Doctor was The Keymaker in The Matrix Reloaded. And when you watch 2 and 3, you will catch more Matrix crossovers.

    • @JakkFrost1

I hope you and you're family are having an AMAZING day and that someone brings as much joy into your life as you bring into ours.
    Sidenote: The concierge at the hotel is played by Lance Reddick, who sadly passed away in April this year. He was also a very beloved voice actor within the video gaming community, especially within Destiny 2 and is truly missed. I didn't want to kill the vibe, just give credit to him.

    The director said that the popular 77 kill count was actually low, as the people who counted dismissed those he killed by car and explosion. He said it's more in the 80's-90's.
    And even then, this is the movie with the _lowest_ kill count in the series. Both by John and overall.
