Each new entry into the John Wick saga has expanded on the complex bureaucratic world of the paid assassin and the people who do their work Under the Table.

Are you more excited for the Peacock prequel or the Ballerina Spinoff movie?

5:30. Explains why that one cop who goes to John's house when he was attacked simply asked, "you workin again?"

Y’all did a good job with this, but I did want to mention one thing. The seconds in the duel weren’t automatically required to be killed, but that term of duel was declared when they say “no quarter”. The significance of no quarter basically means no prisoners i.e. seconds die along with their duelist. They do however get killed if their duelist doesn’t show or breaks the rules which would be forfeiter. I just thought this was a really interesting detail in the plot.

Look at the views on each video since Ryan left.

Whoever's in charge really really messed up

[Castheknotted]

I believe if you fail to show for a duel you lose house name

Ryan George explained this lore in a more entertaining way... But this version has more lore

3John Wick's Final Word & Tombstone
he emotions audiences could feel watching John Wick die in the final moments of the movie could mean that some details are missed. This includes that John Wick's last word before he dies is simply, "Helen." Mentioning his wife comes after a montage of his memories with her, and John Wick 4 then shows their tombstones next to each other. This is where the movie pays off an earlier moment, as John Wick's tombstone does have "Loving Husband" written on it, making that his legacy

2John Wick's Dog Returns
John Wick's dog does return in John Wick 4 for a very small role. The pet that has been with him since the end of the first movie is shown to be in the possession of Bowery King. This includes making sure John Wick's dog is featured at his funeral.


1John Wick 4's Post-Credits Scene Sets Up Another Spinoff
The last detail that audiences could miss in John Wick 4 is the film's post-credits scene. It sets up Akira attempting to kill Caine to get her revenge after he killed her father. The John Wick 4 post-credits scene ends before either character's fate is revealed, but the drawn knife by Akira teases there is more to come. Those who do not stick around through the credits will have missed the scene that sets up another John Wick spinoff. It is not a small Easter egg in John Wick: Chapter 4, but does help tease the franchise's future.

Must suck that Ryan left you since he was carrying this whole channel

[virginiathomasakaicedragon]

Aren't all of the widows ballerinas

[ChocoLater]

If you really pay attention to the rules, there were quite a few mistakes in this video

[Martial-Mat]

Yeah, best not to think about how utterly ridiculous it all is, and just enjoy the martial vengeance. Also best not to think about why a ruthless, no loyalty-having tool like Wick would ever be bound by rules, much less friendship.

[johnysnoww]

Could yall explaine me why the hell wouldn't ruska roma do something before or after their i assume father got killed in front of them. And how you make one of the 12 families of high table look when you execute their father and leader in front off them with out nothing to be done if John hadn't shown up ? Like i would've imagined that ruska roma would have resources to go to war, for that. And imagine how powerful you have to be if you are one of the tables on the high table. cant see situation where the gold tooth fattie would just strike against probably the biggest crime familys in that part of the world.

The first thing was too much and they have been able too long they have been able to play for too much

[johnsantos]
