For those wondering, No, John didn't steal someone's pet or pick that pit because he wanted a big dog. He picked it because it was 'Marked for Termination'. In essence, John saved that poor dog, which in turn, saved him by giving him companionship.
Alot of people missed that small detail
yup saved
It’s his actual dog.
Exactly !! It's crazy how many people missed that.
I've never noticed ANYONE miss that. Do people actually believe he stole someone's dog? @@annjenkins2677
With Marcus taking the contract, he asked if it was "open". He only took it because it was, knowing that John would probably need help as others would be after him.
And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for that meddling Perkins!
correct
@@0okaminono he wouldn't...
@@lohiasam3495 yes, he would have. Perkins is the only person who knew Marcus was helping John. Viggo would never have found out if she hadn't seen the two talking.
@@FuriousGeorge81 I'm replying to the idiot who said Marcus would've gotten away with it.
John put the knife exactly where he wanted... in a wound that was already there. The stitches were already ripped, so the blade didn't really do any additional damage. It merely gave him the leverage to break the arm, and of course get the knife.
oh man I didn't even noticed that when I first watched it. It's really cool thank you for this fact :)
Very observant, nice nice. John Wick really is a beast.
Very unlikely he got the knife exactly where the other stab wound was, however the rest of your comment is right. Breaking his arm was the only way John could’ve gotten the knife
@@mackataz1605 - John wields a knife like a surgeon. Have you seen these movies?
@@Mr.Ekshin you still don’t understand how anatomy works, it would be impossible for even a surgeon to put a knife back in the same wound, especially after skin has been stretched back by stitches. The movie series is anatomically accurate for the most part, the only unrealistic part of the movies is the whole underground society.
John breaking the foundation his new life, the basement floor, to re-enter his old life, the weapons and coins, is just..sublime~
Interesting fact : Whichever weapon was used, it only fired the maximum of which the weapons come stocked. No endless bullets, which made it more accurate.
Plus, it adds the opportunity for that badass reload while the guard is disoriented. Perfect!
@@Sizzlik Why YT? Can't it be from the Making of... oh wait... I see you only get your information from 1 source. Fun Fact more to life than just UA-cam.
She has a big heart
her insta?
Ahhh yes a big heart. Nothing else.
The coins work differently than you might think. They're made of gold, but they don't represent monetary value. In the third movie, it's explained that the coins represent the "commerce of relationships" within this underworld society, sort of like the trading of favors among the Mafia.
I always looked at it as 1 coin per 1 service rendered. 12 coins for 12 bodies, getting service from Charon, having the door opened to the bar, etc.
@@noctumdraco and coin to Harry for "babysitting" Perkins
Not exactly, they look like Krugerrands - Minted in South Africa and illegal in most countries due to apartheid. They are an ounce of fine gold and the price fluctuates with the market. $6000 or so per coin. Popular with investors irl they are used by the hitmen, cleaners, and the Continental due to ease of use/convenience - dinner reservations are bodies to dispose of - a coin per body.
The value is subjective - the more something is worth to you personally, the more coins you give in exchange. A small favour gets a coin, a big favour gets a stack of coins. A really big favour gets covered in the sequel.
Not sure where your info is coming from (genuinely curious), but I work at a precious metal dealer in the US and (most) Krugerrands are right around the price of gold (just shy of $1900 atm). The coins in the movie are far too large to be an ounce of gold, as gold weighs far more than silver, nickel, copper, etc.@@ginawhisnant9966
the biggest thing with this series is that all of the gun play is exceptionally accurate, you can notice that john is constantly reloading and swapping guns he doesnt shoot 20 rounds from a 12 round mag. There's a few videos online of Keanu reeves doing the gun training with actual firearms just for this movie. its very very well done. He is on par with a lot of professional competition shooters.
the entire john wick series has a very very short timeline. from the first to the 2nd movie is only about 4 days and the 3rd movie picks up immediately after the 2nd.
His tattoo on his back stands for "Fortune Favors the bold"
"Uninvited guest" was literal.
"dinner reservation" is code for clean up a body.
he forced viggo to stab him in the wound that he already had to minimize the damage and get him close to break his arm.
Also the concierge in the series his name is Lance Reddick and he just passed away back in march a great actor and voice actor who will be missed. R.I.P
Looking forward to seeing more reactions to this series. its one of my favorites.
I saw an interview with one of the gun coordinators in John Wick about how Keanu Reeves’s weapon training was so good that at several points during filming the gun jammed and he fixed it and kept on shooting the scene, so some of the points where he reloads or checks his weapon actually weren’t planned. I think it adds a fantastic deeper layer though, because we get to see how John Wick would realistically handle that situation.
Bonus: I think that in the second or third movie, he used a pistol that apparently is well known for malfunctioning. The entire time he uses it, he is constantly checking for jamming between shots.
I can see it's one of your favorites from this description alone
Very well explained. Couldn't have said it better myself. 👏
The drink wasn't poisoned, it had a napkin with the words "Red Circle", the location of Joseph.
It's probably been said before, but the firing of the different weapons used in the film are accurate - if he runs out of bullets, he reloads, even sometimes in fight. There's another YT video showing the training Keanu went through to play John Wick. He's apparently a fantastic tactical shooter in real life also.
@@user-cm9nw6yn3cNo he didn’t. That is a common reload used by competitive shooters and special forces.
If you two thought this movie kicked ass, you’re going to enjoy the sequels! Looking forward to your reaction to those!
#2 was amazing. #3? I wasn't so impressed (except for the trained Belgian Malinois dogs), I think they got lazy. Haven't seen #4 yet.
@@johnmrog The movie "Nobody" was was also written by Derek Kolstad who wrote the "John Wick" movies.
@@johnmrog 4 is a masterpiece
I honestly think 4 was great but overkill with the kills
Ye kick-ass was a great movie, but the fight scenes are better in John Wick
First time I've watched a reaction waiting for the movie to NOT be shown on the screen.
Sorry but I couldn't focus on the video :o
Duuude this is THE best action/killer/revenge movie of all time IMO. The world they build up from the start with very little information is amazing. It's never cheesy, you really believe John Wick is a badass even before he starts doing his thing. The soundtrack is pure excellence too. It's a whole vibe. I love it so much 😅
Well acting is not Keanu’s strong point. The less words he has the better
I don't know why but i really like her personality
I just cant take my eyes off of.. something
True
i was like "WTF 90% of her t*ts are out", people nowadays bro do anything for views and shit
Wow
she knows what she's doing
bruh
When this movie came out, everyone loved this movie and also made the two directors make one of the best action movie productions ever. Their production made some great movies ever like all the John Wick movies, Nobody, Bullet Train, and Violent Night. The two directors used to be stunt coordinators Chad Stahelski and David Leitch and his wife Kelly McCormack. The production always hired stunt performers and action directors just like Sam Hargrave, who did the Extraction movie in Netflix with Chris Hemsworth. One other movie is almost John Wick, which is Sisu. Sisu is like John Wick meets Inglorious Bastards. Its popularity are the gun fu and the hand to hand combat because it's direct by a former stunt coordinator.
Thanks for mentioning Violent Night! It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, so I will watch it tonight!
I recently watched sisu it's freaking amazing and what's interesting is that the actor doesn't have a single dialogue in the movie
Gabriella bazookas kept screaming in my face this whole reaction.
You’re right about the hype. Honestly I regret not being there to watch through the start of the John Wick Journey since 2014.
I only started watching it this year, and I can understand why it’s loved by everyone. Easily a great must-watch action/crime film in my opinion!
You guys should have also seen the Puppy Interview Keanu did with Buzfeed!. One of most popular videos from that channel 😊
My wife and I recently watched these movies for the first time, because I watch reaction videos, and I always had to skip over the John Wick reactions. We felt the same as you did. These movies live up to the hype, and are by far my favorite Keanu movies. This world is just so cool and interesting. They live and die by rules, and breaking those rules have consequences. I look forward to your reactions to the next few movies.
This a good one to start with for action! I'm sure many have told you, but Keanu Reeves trains hard to do all that stuff. Hope you enjoy the next ones! Thanks for great reactions. You both caught on fast. Refreshing.
The dog he takes was to be put down according to the paperwork on the kennel. 2 the dog is actually keanu's real dog
"I heard you struck my son."
"Yes, sir, I did."
"And may I ask why?"
"Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog."
"Oh."
Boom! HEADSHOT!! 😎
Fun Fact: Bacon grease was placed on Keanu Reeves' face to attract his dog to jump on him when he wakes up in bed.
Action Star Fact: According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film. Of course, Reeves learned and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed.
Stealth Adaptation Fact: The security guard who waves Wick onto the airport runway is reading the 1970s thriller novel "Shibumi" by Rod Whitaker, under the pen name Trevanian, also about a retired master assassin dragged back into the game. The story Viggo tells about how Wick once killed three men "with a pencil" is describing a crucial scene from the same novel.
Bacon-flavored Keanu? That’s a difficult one to top. 😄
But did they use Canadian bacon?
Such beautiful reactions to films you want to watch forever
Great reaction guys! Welcome to the world of John Wick. If you haven't heard yet, Keanu does almost all his own stunts (All the fights and gun expertise (called "Gun-Fu") is all him - He trains extensively before each movie). The action only ramps up with each new chapter. I highly recommend that you watch The Matrix before you watch the next chapter. Take care!!
Holy cow ... this girl is GORGEOUS... ((faints)) ...
The scene where John reads his letter from his late wife...and then seeing the puppy always makes me tear up...
Awesome ride with you both :) Fantastic movie, fantastic reaction. R.I.P Lance Reddick
Also glad you’re a new and fresh react Chanel. Your wife is so genuine and funny and your love for adrenaline and kickass moments like me got me hooked. Can’t wait for your new reactions!!
Dem thangs doe
John wick is one of my favourite movies ever!! Can’t wait for ur reaction to the other 2!🔥
You guys did the right thing watching this from first movie, this will help you to understand the other movies better, how the John Wick world works.
What? Why would they not have?
Dinner Reservation is cleanup and disposal of dead bodies. So when John was at his house and rang up and asked for a dinner reservation for 12 he was asking for the cleanup and disposal of 12 dead bodies. But there was 13 gold coins he paid them which means the 13th gold coin was likely a Tip
I’m sure that’s part of why Charlie was afraid John had left all that behind. Always a gracious client.
Wait, John Wick was in this video? 😮
Haha I know I kept looking elsewhere.
"Don't get too focused on his eyes, now." That's right, because its the hands that kill.
John wicks fights are are up there with the Raid movies for me. Love it! & Keanu is great
I have watched this movie dozens of times and multiple deep dives into the film, but until you just mentioned it, I never realized that ending shot was the spot from where his wife collapsed. Good job. :D
you didnt do much of a deep dive then...
I have watched probably over a hundred reactions to this movie and I have to say that you guys are my favorite, I just had to subscribe. Can't wait to see your reactions to the next two!!
Yeah, the reaction was okay, but that pink top really seals the deal. I was only faintly aware of some kind of Keanu Reeves action film happening in the background.
@@Mr.Ekshin Same. I was looking for a "She got the Heavies!" comment.
@@Mr.Ekshin Preach
Thank you both. The best and most intelligent and retrospective commentary on this platform. Very much appreciated.
The guy that gets hit by john like in the window of the cad towards the end is actually kinda funny since im pretty sure that guy at one point did commercials for a car insurance company. Like what will you do when mayhem strikes like me or something along those lines. Guess a little ironic 😂
Yeah he is the Mayhem character from the Allstate commercials
There is a fan theory, and I think a good one, that John's wife had worked in that Veterinarian clinic at the end of the movie. That could explain how he knew it was there and chose to drive there. Also how he happened to be walking with his wife near there, when she collapsed. The Dog John wick took was scheduled to be put down, so he was really saving her.
There’s another fan theory that Winston, the manager, is Helen’s father, and hence John’s father in law. Which would explain why he has a personal interest in John.
Well, now actually it has alr been disproven. Their connection is the Ruska Roma. Winston has an emblem tattoo on his wrist
Awesome reaction loved it y’all were great can’t wait to see y’all react to part two 👍😎
Awesome reaction, including the analysis after. Dude had a Salma Hayek/Paz Vega type of wife, congrats my dude, well done.
I enjoy your guys' reactions,look forward to the next one
Loved the reaction, when the Cop asked if he was working again set the whole vibe of this movie,
I laughed my ass off 15min when the lady said "I don't even have that and it still hurts" that right there was gold 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's very short, easy to miss, but when he picks out the dog at the end, you can see on the clip board on the kennel that the dog is "To Be Put Down". He chose to save that dog from euthanasia
I just started watching John Wick a couple of years ago and didn’t expect to like it. I have loved the 3 I have watched so far still haven’t watched 4 yet.
Great reaction and I really enjoy your in-depth discussions after the films. You deserve a lot more subscribers so I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
I really enjoyed your reaction, and I definitely think another great reason that even with all of the massive killing going on in all of the John Wick franchise movies ... its ALL bad guys that are getting killed, not innocent bystanders.
"By thine own hand...... Revoked". Cool ass line.
I've always wanted to see the main character just shoot the villain without saying anything and seeing that in this movie in theaters back in 2014, I was so hyped.
the lady at the bar gave him a drink just to hand him the napkin where she wrote the location of Vigo’s son hiding spot. I think she’s not supposed to give that kind of information; same as when Winston said “I’m not the one telling you” when he told John where Vigo was heading to.
Great reaction guys and I think you’re not ready for what’s coming!!!
Always remember...Revenge is a dish best served when cold.
Also, the Concierge for The NY Continental gave John a Dodge Charger.
The the only reason i watch this movie so often is to see how bloodthirsty people can get within the first 15 minutes
I swear, I believe even a Jainist would be yelling “Get ‘em, John!” 😄
Wanna see you guys react to Sicario (2015). Fantastic film, super tense, stars Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro.
Del Toro is a bad mf in that movie
He is..Inevitable.
I can't wait for yall to watch the other Wicks (2,3,4). Great video. I subscribed 👍👍👍
Fantastic reaction, guys! So entertaining watching you both experience who--and what--John Wick is. Just wonderful! You are in for a ride...! ( :E
Keanu actually took tactical training for this role
This is trhe 1st time I've seen one of Your Reactions! I was thoroughly entertained! I am now a Subscriber. I look forward to checking out more of Your Reactions in the future! Wasn't it amazing the way the filmmakers made You fall COMPLETELY in Love with that Puppy in 6 minutes? Lol
Not too intrusive. Not too loud. Legitimate reactions. You got a New subscriber. Great job.
After the death of the puppy, no level of violence is unacceptable...totally justified it all
'I have no clue' Nailed it!
Great reaction from the both of you!! Keep it going!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Keanu did a lot of gym work in jiu jitsu and a lot of tactical shooting training, at which he is really good in real life. He does almost all of the fighting and shooting scenes without using a double.
Love this movie, and I've watched a LOT of reactions to it over the years since it came out, and you are the first one ever that I've seen comment on the fact that the ending scene brought us right back to the beginning. Nice work.
And what’s cool is when you watch the behind the scenes training for Jon Wick, Keanu was really out there shooting for practice. And shooting FAST!
awesome reaction! the next 3 films won't disappoint you 😉
Great Review I hope you enjoy the next 2 and I look forward to watching them.
'John Wick' and 'Mission: Impossible' are probably the only consistent (quality-wise) movie franchises out there.
Technically, no, they didn't kill the dog. If you examine the scene carefully, it becomes clear that it is meant to be implied that they fatally wounded the dog. However, as seen by the trail of blood, the dog was presumably still worried enough about John that it dragged its way over to him and THEN died. Which is made all the more tragic since it seems to be symbolism about his relationship with his wife.
All this time I thought John crawled over to the dog. If the dog crawled over to john before she died that makes it even more sad.
That's still called killing. Whether it died immediately or later from the wounds they inflicted, they still killed her. If you fatally wound something... you're responsible for killing it.
They still killed it.
semantics .. clown
Dude, they hit a little puppy with a metal pipe, they killed it and then dragged it over to him as an f u
loved this movie. cant wait for the rest. John wick 4 was insane
I don't think any other reactions I've seen have discussions of the metaphorical aspects of the story and character motivations. I really enjoyed your reaction.
Neo: "I know kung fu"
John Wick: "I know gun fu"
But seriously, can't wait for your reaction to the rest of the franchise. Believe it or not, they only get better from here!
Can't wait for next reaction JW 2 - 4..thank you !!
Lucky man right there
If you’re interested you can see some of his firearm training on UA-cam. He was trained by Taran Butler. World class shooter. Watching Keanu run the 3 gun drills is very impressive.
Gabriella is really pretty ❤️❤️😍🥺
Wow, Gabriella is incredible!
I think you're the first reaction channel that has caught that the final scene of him walking along the river with his new pup was the same spot he was with his wife when she collapsed. Great catch, great reaction!
John's upper back tattoo says “fortis fortuna adiuvat,” which means fortune favors the brave. Gold coin in US dollar value is around $2000 each. The joint Viggo is smoking is laced with PCP. They think it mellows you out while helping you not feel pain and feel indestructible. First 3 movies happen in a week in a half, in movie 4, is 6 months later.
someone actually caught the fact that John destroyed the vehicles to prevent Reek from escaping again
great reaction!
I thought I was caught up on my reactor content I wanted to watch. Was about to play a game I was waiting for and this video popped up. Was so happy to watch it cause I gotta say, I love your thoughtful commentary. Keep up the great work you're both doing!
Just found your channel. Great reaction!!! I’m with the other commenters…2, 3, & 4 are increasingly more insane cumulating with one of the greatest endings to a franchise I’ve seen in a long while.
I was going to mention the ending scene, but you guys are only the third channel that pointed it out. Huge props to that. Also, the “be seeing you” carries throughput all 4 movies in one way or another.
If you haven’t seen it yet, look up Keanu and Halle Berry at the shooting range. There are two different videos, one with Keanu training for JW2, and one with him and Halle training for JW3.
You guys are in for a CRAZY RIDE!!!!😂🔥🔥
Evacuate the proximity. God bless this girl
All the comments are great reviews, but I also wanted to point out one thing. Do you notice how John always does head shots? The reason behind it is actually very realistic, and further explained in the second movie, since most of the clothing is tactical and made to resist puncture. He doesn't want anyone to heal up and come back after him.
I like u guys reaction to John wick I can’t wait until you see the rest of the John wick movies
Miss Perkins...
Your membership to the continental has been by thy own hand....
Revoked.
(Loved that scene sooo much)
Absolute brutal!
All of the great gun skills and he takes out "mayhem" with the car! Oh, the irony 😂
Omer Barnea, the actor who portrayed Iosef Terasov's driver, Gregiri, fell in love with the puppy to the point that he was traumatized by merely *pretending* to kill it. After the scene was called, he picked the dog up and cuddled with it for over an hour just to calm himself down.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, puppy therapy can do a world of good.
Wow I did not know this! Justice for Daisy! I am getting a dog for the first time in my life soon so I'm lovin all the dog themes in this franchise. Doggos really are the best
Fun Fact:
When John goes to the Club to kill the kid and starts with the bodyguard outside, He says, "You've lost weight" and Francis Replied "Over 60 pounds". This was actually a test AND a code between the two. John was testing him to see if he would help him (which is why he lets him go and tells him to take the night off) and Francis replies Over 60 pounds (or 27 kilograms), a code for nearly 27 security guys/henchman protecting the boy. This is also being used in the military forces around to world too. VERY cool way to again show us how much of a badass and how respected John Wick is. Also thee one thing I like about Keanu Reaves is the amount of effort he puts into a role. You can find videos of his training sessions for these movies where he spends countless time at a gun range training with all sorts of guns to the point where he knows how each gun he handles will behave IRL and will actually handle them accordingly for things like checking to ensure the weapons are not jammed. You will see him handle a pistol in the second John Wick movie where he will kinda toss the gun in his hand a little to press down on the chamber because the pistol he is using at that time is known for having bullets getting jammed and is checking the chamber to make sure it is clear enough to fire. Keanu also went through 4 months of training, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day to bring his character to life. He also went through Judo, Japanese Ju-Jutsu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So Keanu is that accurate and deadly in real life. You can find a few videos of his trainings with a company known as Taran Tactical. Keanu also had help from former Navy SEAL and CIA Contractor Shawn Ryan.
"Thw Hype, if anything has been watered down"
I really think y'all would love "The Boondock Saints" starring William Dafoe.
"THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!!"
@@joec9693"I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY F*CKIN' LIFE!"
This movie never gets old..!
I want more!, hope so.
Brilliant review/ I will wait until I subscribe until you do a couple more, as in the films you want...But yeah...Good start guys x
38:41 I always figured that when John Wick was a young assassin making his bones, Winston and Marcus looked out for him and mentored him. So they well and truly are friends.
Winston and Marcus would never hurt John Wick…as long as they stay within rules.
The story of a young Winston will be told in an upcoming Starz tv show called The Continental.
There's a fan theory that Winston is John's father-in-law. May be true, maybe not.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Chad Stahelski already debunked that fan theory.
@@user-lf6cf2ro4i Hence the reason I said "May be true, maybe not." But fan theories are never debunked. That's what makes them "fan theories". Fandom doesn't care what anybody says.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 True. I guess what I should’ve said is that Chad set the record straight in saying that Winston and John Wick are not related in any way.
@@user-lf6cf2ro4i Part of the fun of a franchise that doesn't spell everything out from the beginning is the development of fan theories to fill in missing pieces.
GYATTTT
Can't wait to see yall reaction to the 2nd one
Keanu is a very dangerous man irl. Also the most humble
