RIP to Lance Reddick not only was he a great actor but also a phenomenal voice actor as well

[robertnguyen]

Hiroyuki Sanada and Donnie Yen actually choreographed their fight scene and Chad Stahelski took a step back and let them ; which is one of the reasons he’s the best action director working today.

the entire theater audibly gasped when wick threw killa off the stairs and you could hear his neck snap. absolutely the most brutal part of that film for me

[thelastholdout]

Something I realized about the Wick movies that people don't seem to talk about is that the central theme of them is about systems versus human relationships. Almost every consequential plot point boils down to someone choosing between their loyalty to the system or their human connection to someone else.

Seriously whoever had the idea to put Scott Adkins in a fat suit but still be able to fight is a genius

Fun fact, if the Marquis had shot John before he fired his 3rd shot, he would have been in violation of the rules, and he himself would have had to suffer the consequences at the hands of the Harbinger. Once the Marquis took the weapon for the final shot, he thought that John had fired, you can even see that the muzzle of John’s pistol doesn’t flash. Which is another great note for the characterization of the Marquis, he is so tunnel-vision focused on killing John Wick that he doesn’t care to pay enough attention to all the details and leaves himself completely open for the kill shot. Allowing his interests to outweigh his worth, the very thing the Harbinger warned him of.

The detail of stabbing him through his dominant hand is something I didn’t pick up on but it’s such a great one. He doesn’t want to duel John but knows he has to do it gives him a better chance while still keeping it fair. He could’ve cut the hand off if he wanted to but is too honourable to do that kind of thing. Such a small thing that says a lot about yen’s character.

10:40 One part I loved in the Caine and Shimazu's fight, is when Caine says "take care of your daughter" and Shimazu says "I am", because he knows if he doesn't die, the High table is likely to punish him through his daughter. Shimazu truly protected his daughter till the very end, and even after his death

I am glad you pointed out the cinematic shots, there is so much more to these John Wick movies than just action, I mean the set designs and transitions flow so seamlessly between moments of action. You can seriously watch this movie in like 10-30 minute increments and sometimes never lose anything it's great. I know they're not easy to write but I sincerely hope they make a ton more of them I mean really they're just so good. Keanu taking down people for long takes of action yes please. I wish the man was younger but I hope we can get the love and care he pours into every thing he does.

John Wick is absolutely set in an alternate universe where roughly 10% of the population are assassins. Everyone is used to the constant stylized battles, so no one bats an eye

[muhammadkhan]

One thing im surprised you didn't mention is the scene with John and Caine in the church before the finale; that entire scene just builds the relationship for me with both of them silently acknowledging that it's not personal rather just two professionals doing a job

[Argonight]

Saw this in theater, that first scene where John is punching the post was so LOUD and impactful that I panicked for a split second. Fantastic movie.

[archmagosbolt]

A part I really loved and was surprised more attention wasn't drawn to it, was in the kitchen scene at Okinawa where Caine places the first motion sensor on the corner. You'll notice that at the beginning he does it at about head height then he takes a pause and places it lower, at about waist height. At the start I didn't realize the significance, maybe he just misplaced the sensor, but then it dawned on me that it was a lot cleverer than that. Caine was clearly tired after the first fight, and when he's behind that corner, he wants to take a moment to catch his breath, so he places the motion sensor right by his ear, so it would give him some advance notice if somebody was sneaking up on him while he was recovering, and later he places the sensor further down, reducing the chances of it being spotted while he's aiming. The attention to detail in this movie astonishes me.

[fathm]

That last hour of relentless action through paris is maybe the best long form action sequence I've ever seen. It's downright perfect

[camdotcoms]

one of my favorite things about john's request for his headstone to say "loving husband" is that helen's already said "loving wife". it's safe to say that even though he said it in response to winston's story, he's had that prepared for years

[coletrain]

In the scene where John is trying to hide from Caine, Keanu insisted on that because as soon as he saw how fast Donnie Yen was. He realized that this might be the only person that John is actually afraid of because he's so good.

[SoldierSeuss]

John sliding around in the Barracuda while trying to find a gun on the street with his bare hands is one of the funniest visuals to me.

[Narpil]

I think the Marquis is a perfect "hateable" villain. What I mean is that, from the moment he pops up, you hate him, you want him to fail and to die; and when he eventually does, you're happy. Not only did he murder a fan favorite who was unarmed, he also treats everyone else like trash (threatens Caine's daughter, puts a knife in Nobody's hand...) and he is very powerful in a way that feels unearned. He has no charisma, he doesn't seem to know how to fight; in short, he has no redeemable qualities.

I didn't even have a YouTube account when this man started doing his thing. I watched his videos from my sister's account. Cinemawins was the first channel I subscribed to. I grew up on cinemasins and screen junkies and had really been bogged down by the negativity. Discovering this channel was my first step toward becoming a more optimistic and happy person. Lee will always have my support and I hope that any and all new content goes well for him.

I absolutely LOVE the final section of getting to the church. Gives me "Warriors" vibes. Not only with the Radio, but with the lingo too.
