Army Special Ops Rates Every 'John Wick' Movie | How Real Is It | Insider

Tu Lam, a former Special Forces soldier, rates the fighting techniques Keanu Reeves uses in the "John Wick" movies. He talks about judo and jujitsu, sniper techniques, and the ways public missions are handled in "John Wick," with Alfie Allen, Willem Dafoe, and John Leguizamo. He explains how suppressors work, the best ways to handle a knife, and how to turn anything in a room into a weapon, as seen in "John Wick: Chapter 2," with Common, Ruby Rose, and Laurence Fishburne. He compares his own experiences with urban shootouts, working with military dogs, and fighting on a motorcycle to "John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum," with Halle Berry, Ian McShane, and Anjelica Huston. Finally, he breaks down defensive driving, clearing a room, and fighting on stairs in "John Wick: Chapter 4," with Bill Skarsgård and Donnie Yen.

I hope to see mr. Lam analysing more action movie scenes in the future.

[arinestlebaum]

ME: [mouth full of nachos] yeah, what he needs to do is maximize coverage

[ZaWrldo]

I think what youre missing Mr. Lam is John Wick is a man of focus, dedication and sheer will

[MakerInMotion]

Just the fact he uses a two handed grip on his pistol and has to stop to reload makes The John Wick films more realistic than 90% of action movies.

[Galactic]

Common phrase about knife fights is that usually, nobody wins. The loser dies in the streets, the "winner" dies in the ambulance.

[davidmorris]

First guy to give actual real low ratings. Respect for that and explaining your points

[poja]

As much as I enjoy these videos, I will never go to a John Wick movie looking for realism 😂

[malcoman]

I though I recognized Tu Lam, then I realised he was my personal COD skin, such a cool way to find out he is a real person!

[knowwhoiamyet]

I enjoy John Wick because it blends an enjoyable amount of realism while still giving it the Hollywood flair. It makes it a good watch.

[lucktako]

I love how Keanu basically created his own reload style on the movies not only is he’s the kindest person to exist but also talented and handsome

[QuincyKane]

I think the best action movies are "plausible, but not likely". Realistic enough that someone could actually do it, but uncommon (or even impractical) enough that it remains exciting and entertaining to watch.

When I was doing my training in the British Army we did hand to hand combat training with white T shirts on and marker pens. No matter how strong you were, no matter how quick you were, no matter how well you mastered the techniques, everyone was covered in marker pen. These pens represented knives. The exercise was to point of the sheer futility in entering into a knife fight, and that it should only ever be a final resort, both parties will end up with fatal wounds.
If someone comes at you with a knife, don’t for one second thing technique will save you, real life isn’t the movies. The only way to give yourself the best chance of survival is to get away, fast. If you’re being robbed, give them what they want.

[DamienBlade]

The whole thing with John Wick movies is yes, he uses solid techniques with unconventional stuff, but in the end, it started as a revenge movie. John Wick, as a character, never approached any of the kills 100% tactically. He had a vendetta. So, yes, there would be some areas he fell short on. I think that's what made the series so good.

[AbeNXC]

Love how he doesn’t use huge highly unnecessary tactical language for 90% of the vid like almost every other tactical video on YouTube. Once he makes a point he just ends the sentence like a normal person.

[OGSontar]

In the John Wick movies, watch the background lighting. Blue, John is ascendant. Red, he's in trouble, and purple could go either way.

[ThrillSeeker]

"John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a @#$%#^@ pencil."

[michaelmercer]

I actually got to meet tu lam one time and i can personally say he is super kind, humble and overall a really great person

[yogiyoda]

I like that this guy seems very humble and matter of fact with his analysis

[InspirationLabs-ffvf]

What a real badass. I've never seen a more capable and knowledgeable American special forces soldier. I would love to see him again in these kinds of videos.

[Grimscribe]

Man, this was one of my favorite "How Real Is It" episodes. He is, obviously, knowledgeable, but also did a great job explaining everything.
