John Wick 4 I First Time Reaction I Movie Review & Commentary 

The fire shooting weapon, is a shotgun using rounds called "Dragon's Breath", as you can see why it's called that. It's actually a real type of shotgun ammo

"Stay with Mr. Wick." That's a father protecting his daughter.

The fact that this movie did not get a cinematography oscar nomination is criminal

The person who played the big guy Killa Harkan is actor/martial artist Scott Adkins. He's wearing prosthetic makeup to look that big.

(3:36) He's really gone in real life. It was shocking news back then.

My favorite thing about this 4th film is the Radio DJ talking about John's journey, because it's a callback to The Warriors film and sort of makes that film canon to these films. Which does make sense, given the kind of violence and influence gangs and crews have.

When she said “Is he really gone” hit me hard 😭😭 Rip Lance Reddick ❤️❤️❤️

The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorites; you're missing out if you haven't watched it. It's basically made for your tastes, and I'm sure you will adore it, and it will make great content for your channel.

Bill Skarsgård is also the one play as Pennywise the Dancing Clown in IT Chapter 1&2.

10:38 the manager gave his life so the table wouldn't go after gis daughter which is the concierge, cane said "just take care of your daughter" and he responded with "i am" becuz if he didnt die the table will do the same as the ney york concierge

Notice the reaction of the dog at the grave site. The dog saw something off camera that will probably have some bearing on the 5th movie in the series.

I think what Caine meant when he said he "gave his eyes" for the table, it's probably because the table said he can't see his daughter anymore, so he went to the extreme and blinded himself so he literally can't see her but can still be with her if he wants to.

36:45 The look on Winston's face says it all. 💔

John wick - He Grieved John wick 2- He Raged John wick 3- He Bargained John wick 4- He Accepted

My girl was so adorable doing her "fighting dance" 😄😄!! I could watch you allllll day!!!

I highly recommend the movie ‘Nobody! It’s made by some of the people who made John Wick and genuinely feels like it’s in the same universe. Very fun and highly entertaining.

6:59 Even John had his little Daisy, the whole reason this started in the first place (Yea, I know it's a dog vs a human, but she was still a furbaby)

I saw this in IMAX. It was absolutely brilliant!

The continental is a prequel, explains how winston becomes manager, also there is a fifth john wick in production

Best action movie ever imo, and I've seen all the classics. All the best parts of the previous 3 movies, none of the flaws. The cinematography, how all the shots are symmetrical and the neon lighting, the amazing score and soundtrack that beats even the other 3. The beginnng fight would've been a legendary final fight for any other classic action film, and it wasn't even the best fight in the film. They didn't even show the Hotline Miami style fight in the trailers, and I'm glad they didn't because I got to go in the theater and have my mind blown (that was all actually a one shot and really all Keanu Reeves btw.) I also said on the reaction video for the first movie to remember the club music, because that legendary track made a return in the Dragon's Breath scene and it was such an amazing full circle moment, like an anime playing the season 1 intro for a major season 4 fight. This whole movie was about excess, the entire film a sisyphean task for Wick, as the odds keep building up and even though we've seen John kill hundreds it still feels like too much, and it feels as if he'll be condemned to killing and being hunted forever. The beginning fight was basically the Chapter 3 final fight on steroids, and he has to kill more people in the one night in paris than he killed in the entire first movie. The stair scene was a direct reference to the myth of Sisyphus, as just like he would push a rock up the hill for all eternity only to have it fall again, so too did John climb all those stairs only to repeat his impossible task a second time. But of cpurse, John Wick eats impossible tasks for breakfast, and he actually does it in the 8 minutes we see he had left at the beginning of the fight. Scott Adkins didn't have to audition, he's a martial arts legend in his own right and was begging to be in these movies since he saw the first one. He talks about how excited he was when Chad Stahelski finally gave him that call. His prosthetics were a reference to Sammo Hung, a real martial arts movie legend who despite being a bigger boy pulled the most amazing acrobatic kicks and maneuvers in his movies. This is also his second time facing Donnie Yen, another martial arts legend, they were both against each other in Ip Man 4. The only way I'm interested in watching another movie if John is not in it is if Donnie Yen is the star, it won't be the same of course but he has such a style and charism in all his movies he's really a top 5 hong kong cinema actor right up there with Jackie Chan.

12:55 "Woooow. So this could be the movie where John finally gets his freedom." Oh dear...

To paraphrase from another great movie; "The greatest trick Baby Yaga did, was convincing the world he was dead." I loved the Tracker and his "support/service" dog. I really loved his lever action rifle, the Cowboy Assault Rifle.....still around because it works.

I'm also a fan of the use of colors in this whole film series. Blue for that world of their business. Green for a go for action. Red for consequences (and how bad it is by the amount of red). Yellow for a life outside of their business, or the hope of making it there. And all the combinations that show how complicated things are.

The way John dies on the steps at the end is a nod to the “Cowboy Bebop” ending and how that MC died.

John's hand at poker was called "The Dead Man's Hand," it is considered a cursed poker hand. The cards are Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs, 8 of Spades, 8 of Clubs and it doesn't matter what the fifth card is. It is believed that Wild Bill Hickok had this hand of poker when he was shot in the head and killed. Although it is a decent poker hand, many superstitious players will not play it for this reason. If they get it, they just fold.

Man of focus ,commitment and f***ing sheer will

CONSEQUENCES!!!!

The snort before the Marquis stabbed the tracker’s hand was super cute … lol😂

24:13 - Even after 3 previous movies Jax still doesn't expect the villains to play unfair 🤣Also, I agree, Bill Skarsgård (The Marquis) is doing a phenomenal job at playing the character

34:23 your knowledge is correct. They move 10 paces forward. They were at 30 paces, minus 10 is 20. They were told to move to the 20 paces mark, not to move 20 paces forward.

I know I'm a little late to the party here.....the choices of supporting actors really shows how they had to step up for the action. Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins, and Hiroyuki Sanada were all martial artists prior to becoming actors! Donnie is even the son of a Grandmaster (GM Bow-sim Mark)

It was his perfect ending, he got out again, and then died as Winston suggested, not as the Baba Yaga, but as a man that loved his wife

It has been said that Keanu trained for 4000 hours on his weapons training, and his martial arts to prepare for these John Wick movies

This was an amazing movie with beautiful cinematography... Also the open ending for this movie seemed to be the perfect choice.

@Reacts With Jax - They used a special shotgun round called “Dragon’s Breath”. And, the actual “Dragon’s Breath” Round really does produce fire sparks or flares like in the film.

At the 33 minute mark when he tells his dog 'balls' and the dog yeah goes for the balls but then hikes his leg on the guy's face afterwards....YES!!!

totally nailed it, you appreciated all the quality bits of this masterclass of action filmmaking. also those wounds at the end he gave cain were the same as the ones he gave the doc/keymaker from the previous movie : )

30:42 the stunt coordinator chose this location for this scene. The director found a set on the opposite side but the stunt guys wanted something more challenging and basically drooled when they saw these steps. Keanu Reeves gifted his five stuntmen with personalized $10,000 submariner watches and the rest of the stunt crew he gave them personalized shirts that said how many times they met their demise. I like how they ended the movie. You really don’t know if John is dead. They could’ve just killed the John Wick name and let John live under another name. 34:25 you were right. They started at 30 paces then they had to move 10 paces closer (20 paces). I would love to see a John Wick prequel movie that shows him meeting Helen and what he has to do to get out of this world. 38:09 this movie he cut out many of his lines. According to the director about half of his original lines Keanu cut. 38:52 apparently that was from a video game called “The Hong Kong Massacre”

They chose some spectacular locations for this film! Most noticeably in Paris; the Palais Garnier (3:57), the Louvre art gallery (19:57), the Trocadero Square near the Eiffel Tower (21:20), the roundabout Arc de Triomphe (26:26) - which really is as psychotic as it looks in this film - and the Rue Foyatier stairs (30:31) and church of Montmartre (36:55). I believe they were all shot on location, except for the Arc de Triomphe of curse. It's really impressive.

The scenery and shooting perspective in these movies were completely...awesome. The crane camera work deserves an award.

Jax, I really loved your reaction when it turned out John didn't fire his third bullet. I felt the exact same way when I saw this on the big screen with my dad. You are so energetic and yet pure-hearted as always. 💖😃🌠

What nobody talks about at the end is that the tracker lost out on $40 million since John’s obligations have been fulfilled.

If no one else has told you, the Marquis is also the actor as Pennywise.

16:22 That's Martial Artist / Actor , SCOTT ADKINS . He's wearing Prosthetic makeup and Bodysuit (i guess) to look that big.

17:24 that look was capable to impressed not only girls but boys also just like narcissus 17:45 the rage in his eyes and john vs killa fight create an unimaginable environment in theatres but the most beautiful and emotional thing was that scene which make to place my hand on my heart was that when marqie ask what he like to be written on his grave and when he said loving husband john loving husband and at last when he remembering his wife in his dying moment i was so lucky and feel honoured to experienced this movie in theatres ❤❤

Watch these Comedies: The Ringer, Date Night, Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy , Jo Koy : Don't Make Him Angry , The 40-Year-Old Virgin , It's Hard Not to Love Mrs. Doubtfire , You Don't Mess with the Zohan

"fire shooting weapon" those are called "dragons breath" they are 12ga shotgun rounds filled with magnesium

Winston made it look convincing that Wick was dead.

27:20 "Nobody is getting out and going 'OMG I hit someone'" Maybe because of the 20 people running around shooting guns at each other? My advice to you is this: If you ever find yourself in your car in the middle of a gunfight, drive away. Fast. Don't get out. Even if you hit someone, just drive away as fast as you can. You can work out the hit and run thing with the cops later. Trust me, they won't charge you with leaving the scene of an active gunfight.

I have been waiting for you to get to this one - I have to say, I think this is my favorite in the series for so many reasons. And GOD Donny Yen is amazing as Kane. And as the Harbinger, you have the legend, Clancy Brown. If you have never seen Highlander, get that on your list for sure.

Time to watch the show now. It's fantastic and seeing how everything started is amazing.

Hey, Jax--if you go back and look at the John Wick 4 funeral scene, you'll see the dog suddenly looks up into the distance as if it recognizes something. It was meant to be a hint that John might not actually be dead and is just making sure that everyone leaves him alone.

The Basilica of Sacré Coeur de Montmartre is so beautiful. Great place to die.

Laurence Fishburne is so amazing in this series. I'd watch an entire series just dedicated to the Bowery King.

John Wick 5 is officially confirmed so they'll likely pull a "he just passed out from blood loss and they faked his death" and bring Keanu back again even though he's done John's entire story now unless 5 is a prequel or something which would make sense, for how the movies go 1 is a standalone sort-of prequel then 2, 3 and 4 are a trilogy

I'm sorry but I was watching the movie half the time and the other half couldn't stop being captivated by your eyes, the color, the shine, maybe the eyelashes funnelling the attention into your eyes themselves... WOW 😍 This movie was fantastic, took my mom to see it when it came out and loved it! the ending they could do like Top Gun and come back in 20 years when he's older or something who knows!

Just for clarification there is no evidence John actually died. If you look at his wounds none of them were in lethal spots.

I fully believe John is still alive and took his new freedom as a chance to start a new life somewhere else. His dog reacts to something offscreen, and Winston's answer about where he is seems just evasive enough to hint that only he knows where John went. I think it's a great way to end it because if we don't get a 5th movie, this wraps things up perfectly, but if we do, just enough room was left open for John to still be alive.

Finally the wait is over 😂 💎Thank you 🤩

To be honest, besides the whole killer universe rules, I believe JW lost his honor, when he went to his friend in Tokio, being fine with the fact that he would be the reason for his death in the process. He KNEW IT and did it anyway.

the guy who plays the Marquis played Pennywise the clown in the new IT movies. he's great actor from a good acting family. and "Did John Die???"

Your commentary throught the movies are awesome, I know you will continue excellent reactions.

They are planning more john wick movies, jury's still out on if they will resurrect john or make spinoff with blind dude or doggy man. I hope they make the spinoffs of both of them, awesome characters. Also Donnie Yen (Blind man) is one of my favorite action actors around.

Didn’t intend to watch your reaction to John Wick 4 just yet, but I couldn’t skip your comments on those violent scenes in the movie. They were sometimes almost as brutal as those scenes. I was literally dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣!!!

1:22 A really awesome introduction to this movie that you cut almost in it's entirety and for a 40 minute video you cut out tons of important dialogue

Little known fact, after the 2nd John Wick movie, a game was made. That scene where it's a top view of him fighting with the fire shotgun, is how the game looks. xD

Not my favourite John Wick movie, but I do enjoy seeing a movie I know in a movie - with locations I am familiar with. Always so entertaining for some reason.

if u noticed..Cain shot John wick at the areas where John shot the doctor in john wick 3. all non fatal.

John wick didn’t promise that girl he just said he understands

did you see the tattoo on winston arm.. when he said good bye at john wick grave? he is in the same family as john..the Ruska Roma.. he was his mentor

The incendiary shotgun is real. It's called 'Dragon's Breath'.

I was having a rough day, called out of work, and ultimately decided to see this on the big screen, even though it was going to be released on digital about 6 days later. That was just the best decision. And as I'd only seen the first one in theaters (while it was still only discussed through word of mouth before it became the crazy action franchise that everyone saw), it was overall rather fitting. Plus I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and given where much of these movies take place, it's very fun to watch them with an NYC audience.

I love Donnie Yen. He's my favorite martial artist. Even though John is the star, I find myself always rooting for whatever role he plays.

The world I've heard is rumored to continue in a movie called "Ballerina" like the ones where he grew up featuring Ana De Armas, may be worth looking into, the Continental show is a prequal with a young Winston.

John and Cain arranged that duel when they were sitting in the church, and if you listen to what John says you know he isn't dead. Because John says "maybe not" in response to Cain saying one of them has to die. Also John's stone is sitting on an undisturbed plot, there is no sign of it being an actual grave with his body in it.

Hi Jax, your reactions are just great. I don't have sub on any reaction channels, but when I found yours I just have to. So now I'm in your and Lamby gang:D. Have a nice day:)

So sad to think that Lance Reddick (the concierge) actually died right as they were doing press for the films release.

2 Reactions on one day... that sounds like a good weekend. With that start... :D Hope you have a great weekend too. Keep up the good work!

Clancy Brown (with the hourglass) was the main guard in Shawshank, and the bad guy on Highlander.

Jax, there will be a John Wick spin-off movie called Ballerina coming out next Summer. Keanu, Ian McShane (Winston) and Lance Reddick (Charon) are part of the cast 😃 Now that you’ve completed the John Wick franchise, it would be awesome if you started Mission Impossible.

Your reactions are so great. I really can't wait to watch your reaction to chapter 5. John will be back!!!!

Great reaction as always Jax. Great movie.

Scott Adkins auditions was basically being in Ip Man 4, that is the reason why he and Donnie Yen are in this movie, and not in a bad way.

27:22 as a parisian it's very realistic😂

With John getting so much practice, you'd think he'd learn to bounce better...😂

So no one in comments mentioned Winston saying at his grave. "Farewell, my Son."? Daddy Winston?

Soooo... Was Winston his dad? Or he was just a father figure. That explains a lot, he was always protecting him like he was the most valuable man in his life by risking everything like that

The Continental isn't a true John Wick spinoff, it's more like Jon Whick. The Ballerina, coming out next year, is a true spinoff though.

John Wick 5 has been announced and un-announced multiple times now so... who knows what's gonna happen. I would love for them to let John rest but on the other hand, sequels have been tacked onto even more conclusive endings. I could easily see the heaven or hell question be about John's state of mind with the grave just being symbolic.

The big guy with the gold teeth John kills for his brand. Is famous stunt man Scott Atkins. Given that John Wick was created and directed by ex stuntmen. It makes sense they’d use him.

That marquee is penny wise from the most recent remake of IT. Also the one missing a finger at the beginning is from The Shawshank Redemption. Mr. Wick sends a grand example of what should happen if animals are mistreated. In a sense he’s protecting all the lambs from would be Darin’s. We can only hope to live up to the legend in our attempt to protect the ones we love, or in this case the memories of them. That gun exists as well as the shells, I believe it’s called dragons breath. There is talks of a John Wick 5 which might have something to do with the after credits or could be the tv show which I completely forgot despite viewing a few episodes.

Always love your reactions on this "Death & Murder" movie channel! 🥰🤣

at the end its unclear if john died because they didnt know if there where gonna make more movies,so technicly we dont know but cmon its john wick hes not dead. some people say he faked his death to not be bothered by the assasin world annymore.

back shortly before this movie came out I heard some things about it. Not sure how accurate any of these things are, and I haven't really looked into them, but when they were making John Wick 4 they were trying to decide it they were going to make it 1 long movie or split it into 4 and 5. Not sure what they decided. Don't know if there will be a 5. Don't know if John is really dead! Maybe someone else might know if they've heard or whatever!

18:00 "It's OK, John's had that happen to him before." Have you noticed that John went from a normal guy with some great gun skills in the first movie where he lost fights, needed a friend to save him more than once, and was captured by a single car bumping him to the ground. To this movie where he has become indestructible. Bullet-proof, fall-proof, car-proof. He's basically The Hulk without the green. I liked it more when I believed he was a guy. This superhero transformation makes him far less relatable. John Wick 5 should just open with the Marvel logo...

I THINK the Brazier scene was an homage to the 70's TV Series "Kung Fu". As a "Graduation" to being a Shaolin Monk "Qui Chang" had to move a Similar Cauldron, Searing the Dragon Symbols on the inside of his arms. In a Homage to "The Warriors", they have a Sultry Black lady DJ (only showing her lips) sending codes out over the Airwaves, Giving the information the Assassins need to find him.

its called dragon's breath rounds.

besides the continental, lionsgate announced they plan on making more stories in the john wick universe

Jax, I’ve really liked your reactions to these movies. I wanna watch your reactions to the Avengers movies now and can’t wait to watch John Wick 5 with ya. I had the same reaction you did at the end when John shot the Marquee. That made the whole movie.

Great reaction! ❤
