Yea, it’s extra sad that he died irl not long after he did in the movie here

i think if john is dead is a pretty fitting finale because everything the marquis said is true. john has nothing to live for, the vengance was the only thing driving him as a way to stop mourning his wife for just a moment. he knows he broke the rules, and alot of people he cared about paid for it. so in the end he beats the table, saves his friend and his daughter, pays winston for all the help he provided and dies in peace watching the sunset and remembering his wife.

CONSEQUENCES!!!!

The ending song was performed by Rina Sawayama who played Akira in this. She was hired after the director saw her choreography and acting in her music videos

RIP Lance Reddick.

Scott Adkins is in the fat suit. He's the main villain in Ip Man 4 for reference. Great martial artist and seems like a real nice bloke.

That homage to The Warriors (1979) was unexpected! I'm sure others have said it but yes the guy is wearing a fat suit. That's martial arts movie star Scott Adkins.

And Chiron was a teacher (of many heroes) and healer. The centaur for disease control, if you will…

Clancy Brown has done some good stuff he was the (over the top villain) the Kurgan in the Highlander and Sergeant Charlie Zim in Starship Troopers. And let’s not forget Captain Hadley in the Shawshank Redemption. All of which have CineBinge Reactions.

I saw this in the theater with my dad, and we loved it! However, this is not the end for John Wick, as Keanu Reeves might return as Baba Yaga one last time, but for now, he's getting all the rest he needs

"NUTS!" He kind spammed that move, lol.

One of the theories i love is that John Wick or his late wife was the kid of the Continental Manager Winston. Also, that Winston was one of the Roma Family (noted by the language & some tattoos). So through the whole series, it was not just an age or mentor thing why Winston kept calling John Son. Loving the idea of JW5 where John isnt dead. Maybe he's the new Charon/Concierge.

@dr.burtgummerfan439

Yep, there are a lot of fan theories about Winston and John's true relationship. I have one that Winston is the father of Sofia's daughter that John helped hide. 😁 Sure, it may be silly, but fanlore is just fun to spitball.

I find that ending really satisfying. Everything he did was because of the memory of his wife. And in the end he is free (or 'absolved' rather, because as he said he believes in damnation in Chapter 2). So he would be at peace.

The guy in the fat suit is the legendary Scott Adkins...a real martial artist, stunt guy, and movie star. He had a ton of fun playing the role in Wick 4.

The ending really reminded me of the ending to Cowboy Bebop, which I felt was fitting since Keanu was in talks to play Spike for the longest time. So imagine my surprise to find out that I was totally right, the director DID take inspiration from Cowboy Bebop

So the actor playing ‘Killa’ is indeed wearing a fatsuit. His name is Scott Adkins, and he’s gained a big following for his work in starring in modern martial arts films, such as Undisputed films (the sequels, at least), Ninja (just watch the sequel to that one), a very underrated down-the-line sequel to Universal Soldier, fighting Donnie Yen in IP Man 4, etc.

The sexy radio lady is a nod to Lynn Thigpen doing a similar thing in 1979’s “The Warriors”, one of the coolest films on the planet.

"What stuff are they on that they don't notice?" My brother commenting on the club fight.

I love that they gave Akira an audible blade for the post-credit. To me that's an easy out for the directors to get Caine out of the assassination attempt. Maybe they will do something more with the two characters in another movie. Keanu said outright that he'd continue to play John Wick as long as people keep watching, so I don't think he's truly dead.

I saw JW4 in IMAX. It was brilliant! Btw, Ian McShane has such a cool voice. He voiced Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda.

There is a big reference in this movie to "The Warriors" (1979) that you guys didn't notice. You should watch The Warriors now!!

What's crazy is that, according to the director, the events in the first three films happen within a week. Apparently, there is a longer gap between the events in the third film and the fourth, with it all taking place in less than a year's time.

Wick is like a video game character that specced in both speed and accuracy, with everything else put into physical resistance.

35:38 Very John Woo at the end with the Thompson Contender 1 shot duel pistols there such awesome guns John Woo often had villains use that gun in his movie's such as hard boiled and Hard Target

A round of applause for "I'm Mr Nobody, you hit my puppie, prepare to die". Such an awsome reaction, as always!

The Dragons Breath is an actual shotgun round. A very expensive one at that, 50 bucks a shell. Count all the shots in this sequence and multiply.😮

Happy birthday Simone!

Clancy Brown is also the sheriff in Pet Sematary 2, and the Kurgan in Highlander. And shows up in commentaries for some of these things.

The scene from above with the dragon breath shotgun, was inspired by a game called The Hong Kong Massacre it’s a fun top down view game with bullet time effects.

Clancy Brown will always be The Kurgan to me. The recurring oblivious dance club theme is great. Quick-cut fight scenes are so much easier than putting in the work to train the cast and choreograph and film fights the right way. I was amused at George chuckling over Japanese people speaking English to each other. How you forgot about the frequent use of other languages with exceptionally well-done subtitles throughout the series is beyond me. Don't forget the series The Continental: From the World of John Wick, scheduled to premiere on September 22, 2023 on Peacock in the United States, and on Prime Video internationally.

I find it funny how the flashbang didn't do anything to Caine, since a flashbang also makes a VERY loud bang -- hence flashBANG. It should have affected his hearing. But of course, we don't question realism here 😆

The sexy radio bounty raise near the end is a homage to the Warriors movie of the 70's or 80's

The radio dj talking about the bounty and playing the song "nowhere to run" is a direct homage the the 1980 street gang movie "The Warriors"

That scene with the girl and the radio MUST be a reference to the warriors, from the old school tapes to the close up of the lips even down to the music where warriors had "no where to run, no where to hide"

I remember clearly when JW3 came out, they were talking about making it a 5 movie series. Then when JW4 came out, Keanu and Chad were saying it was the last one. But now, they're with the "if there's a good story we'll make it" talk. So who knows what will come out of it.

The guy in the fat suit is Scott Adkins, great stunt man, and the radio DJ is an homage to The Warriors movie.

Kind of a lore thing, but John Wick's universe and the universe in the game PAYDAY are the same. Wick is a playable cameo character in Payday 2, and the devs mentioned it was canon. You also see the characters from Payday (Chains and Wolf) as posters for a brief moment in John Wick chapter 2. Iirc Payday also added Continental coins as a currency. The musician Le Castle Vania also did music for both things, and had a cameo in John Wick chapter 2 😄

Absolutely love the commentary!

I think they're doing a prequel series called The Continental about how the table formed and its set in the 70s.

@24:51.... The Harbinger paraphrases the Kurgan, "There can be only ONE!"

For me Clancy Brown will always be "The Kurgan" from Highlander (or at least the devaronian Burg from "The Mandalorian").

Did you guys miss the after credit short? It shows the blind guy holding flowers walking up to his Daughter playing the violin as the older daughter of the guy who the blind guy killed approaches from the side with a held low knife. and the scene ends there.

Love the shout out to "The Warriors" movie in the Paris scene!

Cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both have a great weekend

Wow, I did not catch that "The Warriors" callback the first time I watched this movie. But when Simone mentioned something about it being the sexiest radio announcement she's ever heard and then the song, Nowhere to Run, starts playing. It's identical to a scene in The Warriors, where a sexy DJ does the same thing along with that song playing right after.

The place in Paris where they had the traffic fight is called the Place de l'Etoile; the roundabout is the Star it is named for.

The scene with the elder was where they filmed parts of Lawrence of Arabia. 4:09 watching this scene got me wondering if Lance Reddick knew he was dying and they gave him an on scene death. The fight on the stairs to the final duel was chosen by some of the stuntmen to use. The director took a couple of them to scout locations and the first one they weren’t sure then they found the set they used and the stunt crew had huge grins on their faces. Once filming wrapped Keanu bought all the stunt crew a custom shirt that said how many times the performer met their demise in the film and he bought his five man stunt team each a personalized $10,000 Rolex Submariner watch. Keanu also spent 12weeks studying martial arts & stunt driving lessons so he could do as many action scenes as possible. In an almost 3hr movie John Wick only says 380 words which averages about 2 words a minute. Keanu cut out most of the lines to make John a man of few words. Friday September 22nd Peacock will be streaming a series called “The Continental” which is like a prequel to John Wick. There’s also a spin-off coming called “Ballerina”. Donnie Yen’s character is fully blind in this movie. Apparently he gave his eyes to the high table like John gave his ring and ring finger. 37:05 it’s funny you mention “like brothers” when Donnie Yen’s character is Caine and in the Bible Cain killed his brother Abel. John Wick kills 438 people in all four movies John Wick 1 - 77 John Wick 2 - 116 John Wick 3 - 94 John Wick 4 - 151

John wick always brings Splinter Cell blacklist to my mind

the ending with Winston and Bowery at johns grave can be interpreted in two ways. either you take the dialogue head on and see it how its portrayed, john wick died and they are saying goodbye to him. OR (what i believe) they are saying goodbye to the man "john wick". he is now fully retired, no ties to the assassination world anymore. his grave is a mere symbol of him being a free man. or more a "free" man. they winston questioned if john is in heaven or hell. with that he means if john wick is in heaven because he got finally out or in hell because now he has nothing left to live for.

I did think Caine was Ken Jeong in the first half of the movie until I looked it up. Donnie Yen and Ken could pass as twins.

I’ve recently started watching a science fiction network TV show from the 90’s called _Earth 2_ in which Clancy Brown plays a mechanic who is a loving father and it’s SO weird when you are used to him being such a hard ass in his other roles.

I am sure that grave has a coffin in it filled with nothing but guns and stylish kevlar suits. John is off somewhere taking a well-deserved nap.

The street with the roundabout is called the Champs-Elysees. The name is a reference to the Roman and Greek heaven. Literally, it's the "Field of dead heroes".

The reason the concierge was killed off in the movie was because the actor, Lance Reddick, had late stage heart failure and was needing to bow out. Unfortunately he died not long afterwards. Fans of his work in the video game Destiny 1 and 2 held and in game vigil in his memory.

yeah, charon was the ferryman on the river styx, not to be confused with chiron who was a centaur that taught hercules in warfare and combat
