The Bubba Yeyga needs to find the ancient tablet of the Koon Coon because the Secret Hashashins who kidnapped his brother Sun Tzu's daughter in law have rules and consequences and he doublecrossed them at Go night at the local YMCA, to do this he must employ the services of the Black Templar the infamous Parisian techno DJ and information broker, who is bound to the Winged Hussar code of honor for when he was in Poland on the orders of the Dan Brown Society, Ltd. his life got saved by the Antipope Wojtyla the 3rd, for which he must repay six hundred and sixty six Dragon Kill Coins, which can only be obtained by killing the Grand Dragon of the KKK every Saturday from 16:00 to 22:30, luckily the Bubba Yayga has been diligent and carries six hundred and sixty five Coins in his Hashashin Wallet, the secret of which has been taught to him by Ali Akbar when he was imprisoned by the Atlantean Collective in Antarctica. Will they prevail against the Interdimensional Chessmasters and get the final coin to complete his secret goal and recapture his dead wife from the underground hybernation catacombs of Doctor Phibes? Tune in and find out in John Wick 32: The Penultimate Degree.
I expect this too. Although the trailers don't have me very excited; none of the new characters have decent physiognomy. No more Baldwin and Cavill; gonna be tough to beat them.
Worth it for the Hotline Miami riff alone.
Mirror-placement was a great addition.
I think the double-length shoot (this was meant to be two movies, right?) took it's toll on Keanu though. He notably had that "I just did an all-nighter" voice in a number of scenes. He's a real soldier, but let the 60 year old man sleep occasionally and he'll easily go another ten in Action Star-mode.
john wick 3 and 4 are basically the same soulless coureographed fuck you im not looking up how to spell it with no tension or emotion like the fucking lightsaber duels in the prequels, its boring
Action for action's sake is actually based and redpilled. Imagine Jackie Chan wasting 90 minutes on dialogue to justify a 3 minute fight scene. It would be retarded.
>Film set in france that french song comes, you know the one
The action was great for the most part though. There was a few clunky bits of "man waiting for his turn to throw punch" where Keanu is clearly slowing down due to age and they're having to accomodate, but for the most part it was great.
>and feel improvised
This is maybe the furthest thing from the truth you could've possibly said. They feel like impeccably rehearsed Chinese Opera, especially in his earlier years. Jackie himself will tell you that.
Depends on the movie. The fights in Police Story do feel much more spontaneous. But all his other points still stand. Jackie actually had tense chaotic exciting fight scenes as opposed to JW4

Yeah it seemed unrealistic that there wasn’t piles of feces and hordes of migrants sleeping on the street. The whole radio station bit confused me as well! When they originally put a contract on Wick in the previous movies, it showed all the assassins getting an alert on their phones, which is the obvious and most efficient way for this to work, but in JW4 they went for this radio station that I guess was supposed to be broadcasting poorly coded marching orders? But it made no sense at all. They didn’t even make a point to show the assassins listening to it! They just absorbed the information through osmosis I guess? The only reason I can think of for this choice is so they can squeeze in another proud black woman moment. It was fucking stupid.
>piles of feces and hordes of migrants
This and armed soldiers patrolling the streets, you'd think all the gunfire in the middle of paris and car crashes would get the attention of law enforcement but nope, not even a police siren.
You mean when a shootout happens inside the Red Circle, everyone panics and runs away and you can hear sirens in the background as John rushes out of the club?
nta but the first film is the only one that was somewhat realistic with the pedestrians noticing and the cop scene, the rest of the films are video games
I imagine it's like the how in Toyoko Drift, the police don't bother chasing street racers who go over 150 mph since they can't catch them in their patrol cars.
Take the payoff from the international society of assassins who are blowing up building in the middle of NYC with no repressions and don't say any mind to the homeless people walking around with AK 47s. Keep your head down and dream about your pension.

Bullshit. If every single person dancing in that club was an assassin they would've joined in on the fight themselves. Instead they just stood their like N64 NPCs.

Anyone else thinks John Wick takes place in the Matrix universe which would explain the civilians acting like literal npc's and no police because it's all just a video game, or is it just me?
This would have been cool if the last movie ended like that revealing it's the Matrix. Unfortunately this doesn't work anymore, because that fucking abomination of a Matrix movie came out recently and ruined the series.
I haven't seen it and don't plan to, Matrix ended with Revolutions. Also only one of the brothers worked on it so it's just a shitty fanfiction at this point, glad it flopped.
i think you can make an argument that keanu is neo in many of his movies, and is a version of the matrix before it got destroyed like colonel sanders said in 2. john wick, 47 samurai, johnny mnemonic come to mind that fit this narrative.
they jumped the shark for good here, it's okay to have retarded action as long as it's entertaining
3 & 4 have a lot of well choreographed action but it's really boring to watch after first 5 minutes
discount of halle berry chracter in the 3rd movie, a bland nobody with the same gimmik but only 1 dog
4 was genuinely fucking horrible. 30-50 minutes in and we've watching literally nothing but a bunch of dumb magical chinks and morons talk and have problems nobody gives a fuck about. the cringe intro and the general level pretension had me saying "johnfinity wickwar" because it seriously feels like an endgame-level self-suck by the producers about a 4 movie action character with only 1.5 good movies. wick also had like 3 lines from what i watched and they were all "yeah..."
didn't even get an hour and a half in. THREE. PLUS. FUCKING. HOURS. that fucking moroned out DnD movie was better than this shit and that was a 4/10 at best
the dumbest part when wick was choking him to death, he clearly could have killed him and then saved the dog, keeping it for himself but instead choke to spare him for no fucking reason

It isn't. They already said they greenlit John Wick 5 before they even finished 4. They also have the prequel "Ballerina" shit coming out with Keanu as well. But I did hear them say that they're going to take a break for a while before John Wick 5, which is why they have the whole cheesy "is he dead cliff hanger" he's obviously not dead.
isn't a shithole
It was so much of a shithole that a fullblown war taking place on its streets didn't reven register as out of the ordinary for its citizens.
homeless people are swept up and if they really want to they can get massive gibs.
most of the homeless people in Yurop in general and in France in particular are alcoholic nutjobs who actively refuse to be helped.
what was he doing in the desert at the start and who was that arab he killed, some table guy?
why did he even go to osaka other than to give the excuse to have le epic ninja samurai action?
what even is his motivation anymore? he wants out or is it still revenge?
ending was pretty dissapointing and leaves all those threads hanging for spinoffs...
>what was he doing in the desert at the start and who was that arab he killed, some table guy?
Some vaguely named "The Elder" who was recast from JW3 that comes out out of nowhere. John thinks that "The Elder" can absolve him and get rid the bounty. "The Elder" tell him to go fuck himself and John kills him sparking off The Table being even more pissed at John Wick >why did he even go to osaka other than to give the excuse to have le epic ninja samurai action?
Hiding out in one of the Continentals since their are no fighting in them, might have been a hide in the last place you'd except to look but everyone knew the John and the Japanese guy were besties so that didn't do shit. Thought the samurai bow stuff was cool and they need to set up a spinoff for the daugther >what even is his motivation anymore? he wants out or is it still revenge
John "the wickeman" WIck just wants to be left alone or be at peace as he keeps calling it. The time frame from JW1 to JW4 seems to be only a few weeks at best. The guy is still morning the death of his wife and the dog that was a gift from his dead wife, that practically what her reincarnation.
>The time frame from JW1 to JW4 seems to be only a few weeks at best
Supposedly something like 7-8 months have passed between 3 & 4 which allowed John to recover from the first three films occurring over a period of two weeks or so. The upcoming Ballerina spinoff will be set in that timeskip period.
So John could hide for 7 to 8 months with Laurence Fishburne but for some reason he chose to go to Osaka to lay low after killing the Elder. Couldn't just go back to the thing that worked for nearly a year for...reasons
The Bowery King only just started to create international hideouts. He seems to have a method of safe passage locked down but actually laying low in a single spot even if it's just to rest for a day before continuing onward requires someone you can trust like Koji.
That being said, it was a downgrade compared to the previous films where every single trip across an ocean required sacrificing something important and a trip across the city meant you had to fight at least 15 people. Distance had weight.
I feel bad for the people that romanticize Europe based from what they see in the movie. Most of it is indeed a shithole.
I watched Ronin recently and was surprised that they actually showed some of the shittier parts of Paris.
It's always funny when ignorant Americans finally realize that Paris is a shit hole.
It always was. Ever since the Middle Ages. >Year round, the streets smelled strongly of unwashed persons, animals, and human and animal waste products. Chamber pots of urine were routinely emptied out of windows onto the street. Along with fears of an uprising of the turbulent Parisians, the smells and bad air of central Paris were a major reason why Charles V moved the royal residence permanently from the Île de la Cité outside the old city walls to a new residence, the Hotel Saint-Pol, near the new Bastille fortress.
>"babushka babeyaga go kill the fat guy" >"yeah" >"meester vick, your fyamilee... have beetrayed yoo" >blind guy who's there to kill wick shows up randomly >black guy who's there to kill wick shows up randomly >both decide they're not there to kill wick anymore >instead he almost gets beaten to death by boogie2988 in a gay nightclub >fatty falls down the stairs like an infomercial >turns out they didn't betray him at all
there's a difference between choosing not to have any substance, and trying to have it but it being shit
JW1 was perfect style over substance, the plot was simple and to the point, there was nothing to trip over and things were introduced that weren't completely explained - that's okay, we don't need to know the entirety of this universe
as the series drags on, it gets more and more complex with markers and codes and syndicates and adjudicators and elders and all this shit I don't care about

It's ok bud, you don't have to defend the 60 year old action star who can't throw a convincing punch to save his life by pretending the movie's stylish and deep. You lost, there's no need to resort to personal insults.
why are so many nations destroying their capitol by flooding it with undesirables? Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussles, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Prague, Rome.... the list goes on. all gone to shit in the past 20 years, to varying degrees but still noticeable.
Three reasons.
Major capital cities have 'infrastructure' to support such people. From shelters to food banks, they also have established racial communities new arrivals slip into and, honestly, they offer anonymity because of their sizes. You can't mug some granny in a village and expect the locals not to come fuck your shit up.
They're economic hubs so poor people flood to them in the hopes of becoming rich. They're wrong since those capitols are economic hubs because rich people live there not because of the job opportunities.
i truly don't understand? He died. Okay so they'll make it so he didn't actually die but then why would he fake his death if he just won his complete freedom in the same movie?
Checked.
He didn't fake his death so much as he sacrificed half of himself. As the Marquis says: >There is no John out there. No happy man with a normal life. There is only John Wick: The Killer.
John the loving husband is the one buried in that grave. John Wick lives on. To continue the Christ parallels he'll perform something akin to the Harrowing of Hell in John Wick 5. I don't think he'll destroy the High Table cause Lionsgate wants their spinoffs but perhaps he'll cement an alternative organization within the underworld, saving all the lost souls while the properly damned stay with the Table.
He's likely proficient in Russian, Belarusian, Italian, and Japanese cause those are all big players in the criminal underworld and he's shown to be very familiar with those communities. His Indonesian and Cantonese seemed basic (ignoring Keanu's delivery in all of these languages and just looking at what he chooses to say in each).
Some people have an aptitude for learning languages and end up with 10+ under their belt.
the cool part about this movie is that john is basically super human, he knows how to use every gun, he knows nearly every fighting style, a bunch of languages, and random skills such as killing people with pencils. he is the equivalent as maxing out a character in a rpg or other type of game and see it destroy everything around him with godlike precision
>he knows nearly every fighting style
Lol. If by knows every fighting style you mean he can point them out while lounging on his couch I guess you're right.
To be fair, if big brutes like Lukaku can be fluent in 7 languages just because of football, I can imagine it would be very easy for someone like John Wick to be equally proficient in the common languages used in his circles.
The black dude is whatever, I like the idea of his character and the scene where he has to pull his hand out through the knife is pretty kino but his fight scenes suck like in Berlin where he just holds a guys leg for like 10 seconds and the guy just stands there waiting to get his nuts ripped off by the dog. The dj nigress sucked, I liked the warriors reference but her voice was annoying as fuck and always sounded like she had way too much saliva in her mouth when talking
Yeah it's a very obvious reference. They also play a remix of Nowhere to Run after she is introduced to further cement the reference and it's why she refers to the listeners as boppers
call me when the main villain can actually fight and hold his own instead of relying on 1000 goons you'd think those retards would realize that going against Wick is suicide at this point and would make a deal and give the one he wants in order to spare all the bloodshed and waste of money in damages and loss of human life
That's basically what happens at the end of the movie. The movie was basically their last ditch effort to kill Wick and they figured if he can win the duel they should just let him out cause they clearly can't stop him.
They clearly had the resources of a small nation, what stopped them from dropping a hellfire missile from a drone on top of his head? Or hiring snipers, or using attack dogs against him considering dogs are his weakness and everyone knew about it after he wiped out the russian mob.
and how the fuck are they going to cover all the deaths, all the destruction, all the violation of gun laws and shit?
feel like the high table is higher than the goverment
Don't think about John Wick in material terms. The real world and the logic it operates on doesn't matter to the story cause the series is a type of urban fantasy. One that uses mythology instead of magic to drive the story. Police aren't in the story cause they're beyond the veil, they exist in the upper realm. Missiles don't exist cause it's a story of heroes and villains wielding their swords against each other. Same reason machine guns and rocket launchers never appear and snipers disappeared after JW1.
and how the fuck are they going to cover all the deaths, all the destruction, all the violation of gun laws and shit?
feel like the high table is higher than the goverment
For how diverse the series is, the only time it felt pushy was the marketing around the Adjudicator being nonbinary in JW3. Even then, it doesn't translate to the film cause the audience just sees a butch woman. It really is like the old 80s films where races just existed alongside each other without any social agenda involved.
>see what looks like a gang fight >drive right through it to work >pretty sure I killed one of them
Do we even have police in this moron infested shithole anymore?
The set was great. I loved that little eclipsed sun with the orange light.
The anon had it right earlier in the thread: The bulletproof suits killed the action. Any idea why everything is so fucking slow now?
My dad has been to a bunch of places in Europe and says Rome was by far the worst. Everything is disgustingly filthy and the street vendors are so aggressive that you literally have to scream in their face to fuck off.
Look at the artwork underneath the Eiffel tower. Look who payed for it.

The Bubba Yeyga needs to find the ancient tablet of the Koon Coon because the Secret Hashashins who kidnapped his brother Sun Tzu's daughter in law have rules and consequences and he doublecrossed them at Go night at the local YMCA, to do this he must employ the services of the Black Templar the infamous Parisian techno DJ and information broker, who is bound to the Winged Hussar code of honor for when he was in Poland on the orders of the Dan Brown Society, Ltd. his life got saved by the Antipope Wojtyla the 3rd, for which he must repay six hundred and sixty six Dragon Kill Coins, which can only be obtained by killing the Grand Dragon of the KKK every Saturday from 16:00 to 22:30, luckily the Bubba Yayga has been diligent and carries six hundred and sixty five Coins in his Hashashin Wallet, the secret of which has been taught to him by Ali Akbar when he was imprisoned by the Atlantean Collective in Antarctica. Will they prevail against the Interdimensional Chessmasters and get the final coin to complete his secret goal and recapture his dead wife from the underground hybernation catacombs of Doctor Phibes?

The only way they can fix her is by having her fight fully nude in a bath house in the next movie.

>what was he doing in the desert at the start and who was that arab he killed, some table guy?
Some vaguely named "The Elder" who was recast from JW3 that comes out out of nowhere. John thinks that "The Elder" can absolve him and get rid the bounty. "The Elder" tell him to go fuck himself and John kills him sparking off The Table being even more pissed at John Wick
>why did he even go to osaka other than to give the excuse to have le epic ninja samurai action?
Hiding out in one of the Continentals since their are no fighting in them, might have been a hide in the last place you'd except to look but everyone knew the John and the Japanese guy were besties so that didn't do shit. Thought the samurai bow stuff was cool and they need to set up a spinoff for the daugther
>what even is his motivation anymore? he wants out or is it still revenge
John "the wickeman" WIck just wants to be left alone or be at peace as he keeps calling it. The time frame from JW1 to JW4 seems to be only a few weeks at best. The guy is still morning the death of his wife and the dog that was a gift from his dead wife, that practically what her reincarnation.
>The time frame from JW1 to JW4 seems to be only a few weeks at best
Supposedly something like 7-8 months have passed between 3 & 4 which allowed John to recover from the first three films occurring over a period of two weeks or so. The upcoming Ballerina spinoff will be set in that timeskip period.
So John could hide for 7 to 8 months with Laurence Fishburne but for some reason he chose to go to Osaka to lay low after killing the Elder. Couldn't just go back to the thing that worked for nearly a year for...reasons
The Bowery King only just started to create international hideouts. He seems to have a method of safe passage locked down but actually laying low in a single spot even if it's just to rest for a day before continuing onward requires someone you can trust like Koji.
That being said, it was a downgrade compared to the previous films where every single trip across an ocean required sacrificing something important and a trip across the city meant you had to fight at least 15 people. Distance had weight.
I feel bad for the people that romanticize Europe based from what they see in the movie. Most of it is indeed a shithole.
I watched Ronin recently and was surprised that they actually showed some of the shittier parts of Paris.
"From Paris with love" that movie really shows paris as shithole
>Film set in france that french song comes, you know the one
The 2nd movie was the peak of the series
It's always funny when ignorant Americans finally realize that Paris is a shit hole.
It always was. Ever since the Middle Ages.
>Year round, the streets smelled strongly of unwashed persons, animals, and human and animal waste products. Chamber pots of urine were routinely emptied out of windows onto the street. Along with fears of an uprising of the turbulent Parisians, the smells and bad air of central Paris were a major reason why Charles V moved the royal residence permanently from the Île de la Cité outside the old city walls to a new residence, the Hotel Saint-Pol, near the new Bastille fortress.
Paris is a case of the great advertising campaign the world has ever seen. It's up their with australia being known as the Land of Plenty
>land of plenty
wat, all I've ever learned from cartoons & tv is that Australia has a shitton of kangaroos and is comprised of mostly sand.
This fat fuck scene was the only kino moment
>"babushka babeyaga go kill the fat guy"
>"yeah"
>"meester vick, your fyamilee... have beetrayed yoo"
>blind guy who's there to kill wick shows up randomly
>black guy who's there to kill wick shows up randomly
>both decide they're not there to kill wick anymore
>instead he almost gets beaten to death by boogie2988 in a gay nightclub
>fatty falls down the stairs like an infomercial
>turns out they didn't betray him at all
all style no substance
A common mistake is thinking that substance is inherently worth more than style.
there's a difference between choosing not to have any substance, and trying to have it but it being shit
JW1 was perfect style over substance, the plot was simple and to the point, there was nothing to trip over and things were introduced that weren't completely explained - that's okay, we don't need to know the entirety of this universe
as the series drags on, it gets more and more complex with markers and codes and syndicates and adjudicators and elders and all this shit I don't care about
>im too dumb for it so its bad
fascinating
not caring =/= not understanding
Not caring is a mask for not understanding.
your cope for when your parents tell you they don't care about you has nothing to do with the conversation at hand
>I can not respond to any of the anons here but I still keep commenting like a moron trying to sound above it all.
fascinating
who are you talking about? you're not being a schizo right now are you?
that's your big zinger? lol
It's ok bud, you don't have to defend the 60 year old action star who can't throw a convincing punch to save his life by pretending the movie's stylish and deep. You lost, there's no need to resort to personal insults.
schizo lost his entire mind lmao
>that's your big zinger? lol
?t=913
And that's a good thing. Not everything has to be serious and cerebral. Go watch depressing soviet cinema if you want that.
His laugh made me happy in a way I didn't know I could feel.
fat christiano ronaldo
why are so many nations destroying their capitol by flooding it with undesirables? Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussles, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Prague, Rome.... the list goes on. all gone to shit in the past 20 years, to varying degrees but still noticeable.
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER EUROPE
Cause that's what "they" want
Three reasons.
Major capital cities have 'infrastructure' to support such people. From shelters to food banks, they also have established racial communities new arrivals slip into and, honestly, they offer anonymity because of their sizes. You can't mug some granny in a village and expect the locals not to come fuck your shit up.
Money. Also, if you go back through history, strong cultural identity leads to rebellion and the elites don't like rebellion.
They're economic hubs so poor people flood to them in the hopes of becoming rich. They're wrong since those capitols are economic hubs because rich people live there not because of the job opportunities.
>John Wick 5 Confirmed
>He died though…
i truly don't understand? He died. Okay so they'll make it so he didn't actually die but then why would he fake his death if he just won his complete freedom in the same movie?
Because...money. You think Lionsgate gives a single solitary shit about the story? Not that there was much story in this 4th one to begin with
There were no rumors about a crossover with Nobody?
There is only Wick now
Checked.
He didn't fake his death so much as he sacrificed half of himself. As the Marquis says:
>There is no John out there. No happy man with a normal life. There is only John Wick: The Killer.
John the loving husband is the one buried in that grave. John Wick lives on. To continue the Christ parallels he'll perform something akin to the Harrowing of Hell in John Wick 5. I don't think he'll destroy the High Table cause Lionsgate wants their spinoffs but perhaps he'll cement an alternative organization within the underworld, saving all the lost souls while the properly damned stay with the Table.
>Character randomly speaks in their language for no reason
>John understands it because he apparently knows every language in the world
He's likely proficient in Russian, Belarusian, Italian, and Japanese cause those are all big players in the criminal underworld and he's shown to be very familiar with those communities. His Indonesian and Cantonese seemed basic (ignoring Keanu's delivery in all of these languages and just looking at what he chooses to say in each).
Some people have an aptitude for learning languages and end up with 10+ under their belt.
dont forget sign language
I think he also spoke hebrew or yiddish at some point.
That would've been the bank scene in JW2, I don't remember if he said anything in Hebrew or if the garden gnomes just said something to him.
the cool part about this movie is that john is basically super human, he knows how to use every gun, he knows nearly every fighting style, a bunch of languages, and random skills such as killing people with pencils. he is the equivalent as maxing out a character in a rpg or other type of game and see it destroy everything around him with godlike precision
>he knows nearly every fighting style
Lol. If by knows every fighting style you mean he can point them out while lounging on his couch I guess you're right.
To be fair, if big brutes like Lukaku can be fluent in 7 languages just because of football, I can imagine it would be very easy for someone like John Wick to be equally proficient in the common languages used in his circles.
i wish the black guy and the dj negress were not in the movie
Lionsgate gotta keep up the diversity quotas.
The black dude is whatever, I like the idea of his character and the scene where he has to pull his hand out through the knife is pretty kino but his fight scenes suck like in Berlin where he just holds a guys leg for like 10 seconds and the guy just stands there waiting to get his nuts ripped off by the dog. The dj nigress sucked, I liked the warriors reference but her voice was annoying as fuck and always sounded like she had way too much saliva in her mouth when talking
you're not up to the argument
as corny and shitty as it was Donnie Yen was the coolest in the movie
that's literally why i loathe it it's a fucking turn off for me
Diversity = black, Donnie doesn't count.
and we already had the black in it dummy that was my point
i will be honest, the voice of the dj girl made me horny as fuck, i just did not jerk off to it because of the shooting sounds
DJ Lady was a reference to The Warriors?
disgusting mouth
also i did not remember that at all
Yeah it's a very obvious reference. They also play a remix of Nowhere to Run after she is introduced to further cement the reference and it's why she refers to the listeners as boppers
I liked the The Warriors homage with the black lady dj.
The hotline miami scene alone makes it one of the kinos of the year.
>character is french
>is a pretentious gay
that character was really good because he was a villan you could hate
it was corny shit
some past villain characters were better
call me when the main villain can actually fight and hold his own instead of relying on 1000 goons you'd think those retards would realize that going against Wick is suicide at this point and would make a deal and give the one he wants in order to spare all the bloodshed and waste of money in damages and loss of human life
That's basically what happens at the end of the movie. The movie was basically their last ditch effort to kill Wick and they figured if he can win the duel they should just let him out cause they clearly can't stop him.
They clearly had the resources of a small nation, what stopped them from dropping a hellfire missile from a drone on top of his head? Or hiring snipers, or using attack dogs against him considering dogs are his weakness and everyone knew about it after he wiped out the russian mob.
Don't think about John Wick in material terms. The real world and the logic it operates on doesn't matter to the story cause the series is a type of urban fantasy. One that uses mythology instead of magic to drive the story. Police aren't in the story cause they're beyond the veil, they exist in the upper realm. Missiles don't exist cause it's a story of heroes and villains wielding their swords against each other. Same reason machine guns and rocket launchers never appear and snipers disappeared after JW1.
and how the fuck are they going to cover all the deaths, all the destruction, all the violation of gun laws and shit?
feel like the high table is higher than the goverment
he act the part excellently
For how diverse the series is, the only time it felt pushy was the marketing around the Adjudicator being nonbinary in JW3. Even then, it doesn't translate to the film cause the audience just sees a butch woman. It really is like the old 80s films where races just existed alongside each other without any social agenda involved.
>marketing around the Adjudicator being nonbinary in JW3
no wonder it was shit
Honestly I expected more from the black guy
He looked more cool/menacing in the trailer
He looks like a black person wearing blackface
cast the young John wick young donnie yen for the prequel
Adam Driver as young John Wick
Tony Jaa as young Donnie
Detractors somehow don't understand that John Wick is a fantasy series.
First of all it's an alternate universe where they got a radio station in the Eiffel Tower.
>see what looks like a gang fight
>drive right through it to work
>pretty sure I killed one of them
Do we even have police in this moron infested shithole anymore?
>flame shotgun is real
You don't remember FPSRussia using it back in like 2010 on youtube? Dragon's Breath
>Dragon's Breath
Visually, a pretty good montage.
Reminded me of Constantine or Blade.
I have a feeling this scene is going to translate poorly to a tv screen.
>flame shotgun israel
It was, which is why we only saw it in the dark.

Dropped this movie at the blind guy swordfighting at osaka.
Dogshit action.

Osaka was great, set-wise. I'd have loved to stay at that hotel.
Especially when people are killing each other, you get to have a nice view of the bloodshed from your hotel room.
The set was great. I loved that little eclipsed sun with the orange light.
The anon had it right earlier in the thread: The bulletproof suits killed the action. Any idea why everything is so fucking slow now?
My dad has been to a bunch of places in Europe and says Rome was by far the worst. Everything is disgustingly filthy and the street vendors are so aggressive that you literally have to scream in their face to fuck off.
When's the last time he's been to Paris?
