John Wick vs John Rambo vs John McClane. Epic Rap Battles Of History 

The most dangerous trio of John's ever seen.

John won

I love how their raps fit their fighting styles. Mcclane’s was tongue in cheek, creative, and full of cursing. Wick’s was clean, smooth, and once he started his flow never stopped. Rambo’s was emotional, chaotic and intense.

The "I'm thinking you're expendable" has to be the line that got me 😂

Fun fact: This is the first ERB where three characters officially battle each other, not as cameos.

John had good disses, but then John had great flow, until John came in and stole the show. So ultimately, I'd say John won.

It's insane how well they played all 3 of these characters. Even Zach managed to capture Keanu's awkward yet wholesome mannerisms

One thing about this battle that I never see mentioned is how the beat changes to match the movie soundtrack of each pariticpant. From the more straightforward, orchestral action-packed tone of Die Hard, to the low-key electronica of Wick, to the more somber, sinister war-torn soundtrack of the Rambo films. It's honestly my favorite part of this battle lol

The idea of John Wick correcting McClane about the mujahideen is not something I would have thought of - but I'll be damned if it's not absolutely accurate. Genuinely one of my favourite lines.

McClane’s line about “pushing up daisies” hits harder when you remember that Wick’s dog is named Daisy.

They need a round 2, they're just so great together

It's a subtle touch, but I love the inclusion of sleigh bells in the beat during McClane's verse.

The “John Shaft” quadruple meaning of the elevator shafts in Die Hard, the mine shafts in Rambo, a penis shaft, and John Shaft from the Shaft franchise is unappreciated genius

I will never not be impressed by Lloyd's ability to morph his face into almost any person.

3:10 was expecting to hear "you got hitched to the female version of Patrick Ewing" haha

That "how about a little hakuna matata baba yaga?" IS SO FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fun fact: John Wick was initially titled "Scorn". The reason, Screenwriter Derek Kolstad explained, was that Keanu Reeves kept referring to the script by the character’s name and distributor Lionsgate believed it would be too much free publicity to lose.

love how McClane's got the christmas beat, Wick the tactical-sounding synth beat, and Rambo the aggressive tense beat

Fun fact today this video is officially 2 years old and still one of the best ERBs

3:03 "I'll blast an RPG through NYPD's guts, Simon says you can PTSDeez nuts!" - Rambo spitting fire 🗣🔥

The line “your kids still have decent dad on their wishlist” was hilarious

“The Taliban formed in the 90s when you fell off with a vengeance” actually made me cackle.

1:39 Such an underrated bar. Elevator shaft, mineshaft, such wieners you should both be called John SHAFT, the wordplay goes crazy. Zack Sherwin has got to be behind it

That survival knife/wife line... And wicks last bar hit with the 2 pistols as well

"All your kids still have 'decent dad' on their wishlist." That one was brutal.

I just noticed that John McClane's verse, as well as when he raps at the end, has sleigh bells in the instrumental not present in anyone else's verse. Nice touch. I guess ERB is pro-"Die Hard is a Christmas movie"

“Then DING! I pop up hot behind ya like toast!” 😂

"McLain South is where your marriage went, the last tight thing you slid in was an air vent." Greatly underrated line

The first real triple threat battle and has Zach in it. Okay, no need to spoil me for Christmas ERB team

Best flow: John Wick Best Disses: John McClane Best Acted: John Rambo Losers: All Terrorists

the fact rambo voice stayed on point while rapping was so good.

Im genuinely astonished how insanely good this is, its definitely you guy's best work yet.

So now that Pete has played Ted of “Bill and Ted”, and Zach has played John Wick, we just need Lloyd to play Neo for the ERB Keanu Reeves tri-force to be complete!

This is the Christmas gift we didn't deserve but one we Definitely needed....

I like how rambo starts to struggle at the beginning and then starts dropping mad bars

3:36 🤣🤣🤣 Just saw his movie with these PTSD scenes

You know it's gonna be a good one when you see Zach Sherwin

Best Flow: John Best Disses: John Overall Winner: John Loser: John

When Rambo started with the " Nothing is over!" i completely lost it 😂😂😂 that was funny AF

This one was just so good. So long and still dropping classics.

ERB truly mastered their craft because a 1 on 1 on 1 battle was something I didn't expect and really loved the action of it

I’ve seen this like 20 times and only just realized the absurdity of a Mexican stand off with an RPG

This is an absolute classic, love it.

This is probably the best erb I have watched personally

This format really deserves more recognition for how difficult it is to put together. A three way battle that is a COHESIVE project/product through and through is so impressive. I would ABSOLUTELY love to see more three way battles like this. The construction of this is just phenomenal and satisfying to watch play out, agh. It's literally like, well, it's like a movie, lol!

its crazy that these guys being 40 now makes them look more like the characters they're playing.

This is so amazing!!!!

Prologue: All right, I guess I'll be the one to draw First Blood. Or maybe you could draw an audience to see any of your new movies. Come out to the coast; we'll have a few laughs. Sounds sweet! But no, I'm stuck here with these two jerkweeds, About to kick their ass with bare feet! Argyle, drop the beat! John McClane: I'll set it off like the top of Nakatomi! Need a fire hose to swing on you; you're both so below me! I haven't stopped killing it since Karl's brother, Tony, And I got your detonators right here, blow me! (Oops!) Ship your booby traps home, Rambo, 'Cause you'll never take the W without the P and O! Does your lip hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you string that shit up on your compound bow? And lighten up, Wick, with your brooding saga. How about a little hakuna matata, Baba Yaga? You got the trousers tapered and the watch, Bucherer, But your acting falls flatter than the Hans Gruber! Leave the underground coin game to Mario Brothers. And John, Bubbe, what the fuck's with the chest butter? That bandolier looks heavy as shit! I'm like this prick's ring finger: only need one clip! C'mon! I been sharp as shattered glass since the late '80s, And like your late pup, I'll leave you pushing up daisies! Less is more, boys; that's my advice! You, less survival knife; you, more survival wife! John Wick: …Ooh. I'm gonna need a dinner reservation for two. John Wick, I'm efficient and lean. A proficient, professional killing machine! Underworld overachiever looking dapper as I'm bucking. Only one of us to go three chapters without sucking. Between your elevator and the mine where you were trapped, You're such wieners, I should call you both John Shaft. I craft rhymes with pencils, then jam 'em in necks, So I'm not vexed by vets flexing 'roid-injected pecs! Being excommunicado wasn't more than I could handle, So I think I can withstand an excremental ex-commando! And this sad, broken dad-joking popo is no foe For the hurt-you-oh-so-bad virtuoso! Ho ho ho to quivers and bows. I'm delivering blows, And when they land, it won't help to make fists with your toes! Bitcoin? No. Hitcoin? Certainly. I'll put you two in tombs, call it cryptocurrency. Obey your superior like good cops and soldiers. Raven, Roy, you're done. Over. John Rambo: Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! Unless... it's one of your movies. In which case… I just turn it off! Huh! When I rip off my shirt and start swinging my stick swords, I'm hotter than the suicide girls on your switchboards! My headband's red, but I've got no love for commies! And no juice was used to produce these armies! Your High Table rules don't apply to this conflict! I'll finish you right in the lobby! Mission accomplished! McClane! South is where your marriage went! The last tight thing you slid in was an air vent! They used to say you were a handsome crusader. Too bad your hairline couldn't be saved by Steve Urkel's neighbor. Oh! I slip into the jungle, disappear like a ghost, Then ding! I pop up hot behind ya like toast! I seek peace, but I'm packing Parabellum. I was trained to be the very best soldier boy! Tell 'em! I'll blast an RPG through NYPD's guts! Simon Says you can PTSDeez nuts! John McClane: Jesus Christ, asshole! Whattaya doing? This is not some Saturday morning cartoon for you to ruin! John Rambo: The only thing getting ruined is McClane family Christmas! All your kids still have "decent dad" on their wishlist! John McClane: Whoa! Rambo's droppin' bombs in his flows! Did your pals in the Taliban help you write those? John Wick: Those were mujahideen; there's a difference. The Taliban formed in the '90s, when you fell off with a vengeance. John McClane: Hey! Who the fuck asked you, dog pound? Why don't you go lock your mouth in a hole in the ground? John Rambo: Hole! Lock!! Arghhhhgh!!! John Wick: You're both a funeral suit away from presentable. I'm thinking I'm back, and I'm thinking you're expendable! John McClane: You wanna Die Hard? Well, today's a good day! Let's go, motherfuckers! Yippee-ki-yay!

John McClane: Best disses John Wick: Best flow John Rambo: Best acting

Wick's voice was so on point. And not only ERB is back, but they've brought Sherwin as well!

I LOL'd so hard thanks - there's a little tear running down. The lines and the timing was amazing.

This is the erb that made me watch all these franchises And what a journey because they've become some of my absolute favorites

"you, less survival knife, you, survival wife" HE DID NOT HAVE TO DO HIM LIKE THAT

Best flow: John Wick Best disses: John McClane Best portrayal: John Rambo Overall winner: John

Okay I needed that, I'm glad you exist @ERB!

Love this battle. All win. we all win for getting to listen and watch this great video. So many great lines and references.

Fun fact, Peter didn't have to wear a muscle suit to play Rambo

It’s ludicrous how well these three play these specific characters. Zach particularly nailed Keanu’s awkward little mannerisms.

This one was incredible!

They've always been good at sticking the landing on the characters they play., But this one was a level above all the rest in terms of making you forget they aren't actually John rambo, John McLain, and John Wick. They absolutely nailed it.

The first ERB that justifies having subtitles. There’s no way I would’ve gotten through Rambo’s verse without’em.

Zach, not only did you nail the rap, you perfectly imitated all of John Wicks tempo, movements, and ticks. Absolutely beautiful.

"I seek peace but I'm packing parabellums" is a smarter joke than any Sylvester Stallone character has ever made before.

“Does your lip hang low? Does it wobble to and fro?” Mad Barney bars 0:45

This really reminds of old-old school ERB. Seems like they had fun with this one.

The delivery of "Nothing is over, nothing, you just don't turn it off" and "I'm thinking I'm back" we're perfect. Like it was straight from the films.

This is probably my favourite video by you guys. Everyone had bars

Loved it!

"Only one of us can go three chapters without sucking" wick really murdered them right then and there

This one is my favourite from all ERB for all time I’m listening 😮❤

I absolutely loved this battle. Wick comes out of nowhere just dropping disses on both. This has savage lines also. “McClanes family Christmas”, “Hairline”/ “Steve Erkel’s neighbor”, and the “Shaft” lines were brutal. Best ERB I saw in a while and easily now one of my top 3 favorites.

I wanna say this before it gets lost in the comment weeds: We all really appreciate the super hard work you guys put into making these. Ten years going with this series, and it's still as fresh as it ever was. You people are insanely talented, and we're thankful to have you.

"John Wick, I'm efficient and lean, a proficient professional killing machine" I'm obsessed with everything about this part

Literally epic!

best one in a long while

My takeaway from this battle is that McClane had brutal disses, Wick has impeccable flow, And Rambo has *STICK SWORDS* .

Wick had the best flow, Rambo had the best in-character delivery, McClane just went for the kill...

My dad got me heavily into Die Hard and Rambo when I was younger and this battle truly hits different for me. Easily one of my favorite battles of all time. ERB truly is one of my favorite things to look forward to and rewatch no matter how much time passes.

Man, the more I come back to this one the more I come to appreciate Rambo's part. The music, the voice, the bars. All of it.

Shoutout to the costume team. I swear if I didn't see this was ERB, I would have thought I was seeing the actual John McClane

"Only thing getting ruined is McClane family Christmas, All your kids still have "decent dad" on their wish-list." Easily one of the best disses ever.

By far the one I visit the most y'all did good here 😊

Best ERB ever

McClane’s first verse is one of the best I’ve heard in a while, I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it

This is one of the ERBs that aren't one-sided. Props to everyone who helped create this masterpiece! 👏 👏

It's really been 2 years, huh? I swear these videos should be sold in supermarkets, because they just don't get old and expire. Thanks for doing what you do guys.

Love all of the references.

That was fantastic. I feel like John Wick’s lines were better, Rambo’s fit his character the best, and John McClane’s hit the hardest

Best disses: McClane Best flow: Wick Best presentation: Rambo Overall winner: The funeral industry (just look at that bodycount, sheesh)

wow just wow. I used to not like this one because i didnt know anything about the 3 but holy sh*t this is revolutionary

This is such an absolute banger from start to finish. More gold than the briefcase under Wick's floor.

"You can PTSDeez nuts" is the sophomoric lyrical hot fire we expect from ERB

I want to say: John Mcclane: best costume John wick: best flow John Rambo: best attitude

Sick ass heck and funny! Love this

Excellent!!!!!

Hope you all enjoy this one! Was great to have Zach back on screen and a special shout out to our patron army. Love you all. X

ERB probably could have gotten Keanu himself to do this battle with them. Alas, we will settle for an impeccable Zach Sherwin impression. Awesome battle, flows were great and the disses even better.

Amazing

Fire 🔥🔥🔥💯

I’m reasonably sure that if they all fought each other for real all three would come out alive and there would be a massive pile of bodies from everyone who got in the way.
