John Wick

10 months - It’s been a decade since Keanu Reeves donned a black suit, became the Baba Yaga, and murdered every Russian mobster in NYC to avenge the death of his dog. John Wick was a turning point in 2010s action movies. Not only did the choreography and camera work in a John Wick fight scene change the way that Hollywood action movies were shot, but the $25M independently produced film also showed everyone it was still possible to generate original franchises in the midst of this IP-era of Hollywood.In this video, we’re going to talk about all the John Wick movies, but we’re mostly going to focus on John Wick 1 and how directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch used their stuntman background to create a directorial debut to create an instant action classic thanks to scenes like the house break-in John Wick fight and that night club shoot out John Wick fight. We’re going to break down all those John Wick fight scenes and explain how Chad Stahelski and David Leitch managed to get the most production value out of their tiny budget.Part of what makes John Wick so great isn’t that there is one John Wick, but 4 and the “From the world of John Wick” spin-offs including Ballerina and The Continental. The rest of the video is going to talk about all the other John Wick fight scenes from John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, and John Wick: Chapter 4. We’re going to go into detail on scenes like the John Wick: Chapter 2 car chase and explain how that scene takes the core concept of a John Wick fight scene and elevates it with the sequel’s bigger budget.John Wick 2 fights aren’t the only fight scenes we’ll be expanding on. We’re going to also talk about John Wick 3 fights and how they worked to bring dogs into the action as well as how they shot the Arc de Triumph car fight in John Wick 4. (Let’s be honest, that and the John Wick 4 fight on staircase are some of the best John Wick fights ever). Anyway, we can’t believe its the John Wick 10th Anniversary and we hope you enjoy this love letter to one of our favorite action movies.

1 year, 1 month - In 2014, John Wick's slick, focused action and sneaky world-building pistol-whipped audiences so hard, American action films have been try to recreate the magic ever since. Director Chad Stahelski takes the stage at IGN Live for a wide-ranging conversation about the franchise, covering topics like the influence of Greek and Russian myth on the story, why Stahelski believes CG saves lives, the reason Keanu Reeves refused to shoot a 90-second sword-fight with Donnie Yen's Caine in Chapter 4, what's changed about making John Wick movies (and what's stayed the same), and of course, working with some of the coolest actors around, like Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen, and Hiroyuki Sanada. Stahelski finished the panel with a double-tap, surprising the crowd by letting them vote on a scene from the John Wick series for them to break down and taking fan questions to close things out.
