An appreciation of the art of the reload in the John Wick films, and the fact that the guns do not have infinite bullets.

Oh good, another video essay! This one is my first, about the wild world of cinematic ASPECT RATIOS. I'm planning on making more of these, so comment below what works for you about this video, and where you think I could improve. These videos will be a learning process for me, and I'm always looking to get better. EDIT: This video assumes most of your film watching takes place on a 16x9 screen....

Two of my good friends got married to each other on March 5, 2017. I made this video for them, which played at the reception. Sorry for the ad on this video. I don't put ads on my channel, but due to a copyright claim the video is monetized by the company that owns the songs.
John Wick with a pistol in the most dangerous thing in the world.
I've just watched the original last night on CZcams absolutely brilliant....not sure about watching the remake....I'm intrigued but I really enjoyed the original.....
Actually, I just watched the original on CZcams. czcams.com/video/OyBhVpUqf6g/video.html I was greatly disappointed. It suffers from some of the same problems that many movies that began as stage plays suffer from. Dial M for Murder is one of the few that I like. I saw there was a remake. didn't know Caine was in it. Funny because it also bears strong similarities with another stage to cinema production Caine was a part of called Deathtrap which I think is more successful. Sleuth is laboriously long and less satisfying in its ending. Deathtrap is better in every respect.
The quick loading on the Benelli in JW3>>>>>>>>>
Gave me a hand cramp watching this
2:14 best reload in my opinion
Nothing beats the legendary and great actors in the first Sleuth. There are no actors today that come close to their perfection of the art of acting.
Every Reload in Rambo: First Blood: 0
Batman Begins was my favorite Gotham in the trilogy hands down. It was the perfect blend of gritty realism mixed with surreal/ otherworldly. I enjoyed the city's portrayal in the sequels, but I've just never felt like Batman blends as seamlessly into his environment in those films. He sorta sticks out like sore thumb, especially in the police chase sequence in TDKR
That quad loading is bad ass
0:13 what movie is this scene from a guy with grey hair and a portrait of two women 😮
The music ruins the video
A really bad remake in fact terrible
I’ve just ordered the 70’s version on DVD, I probably could never watch the later version just because the setting and lighting presented in this vid is just so visually ugly to my eyes. But am very excited to see the old version for my first time.
John Wick, the scariest hitman in the entire Wickiverse, top trained assassin, must stare at his entire gun with both eyes to reload every single time, always remembering to take his eyes off his targets for a few moments. They’ll never expect amateur tactics!
4:16 Yes!! We love a bit of history 😄
the only movie to make reloading fun. before this every movie shooter had unlimited ammo
Somehow, there's literally nothing better than Keanu murdering 100s of people to Vivaldi. You just can't f*ck with it. Also, the one handed press-check he does in the hallway (around 2:15) is literally my favorite moment in all of the films.
No... Nolans gotham is easily the most disliked gothams
I really wish the new sleuth was as good as the first one. First one is an absolute classic. They really dropped the ball with the new one despite the amazing cast. Writing just wasn’t there. Not sure what happened with Harold Pinter there
Burton and Reeves versions of Gotham are the best imo
It seems I'm the only person here who liked the 2007 version more 😂
My grandson watched the original Sleuth, on YT. I was surprised, he loved it. It's been one of my favorites. ❤
3:56 is this a reload without pulling the barrel ? this is only possible if you count the shots and let just one in the chamber and reload
The one-handed press check at 2:19 is absolutely clean.
Wish you updated this with fourth one
The new house is so boring, although I do kind of like the scribble statue. I would have loved to have seen Caine in the same role as Olivier played. I get that people want to put their own spin on things, but sometimes I would like to see a remake that is just an old-fashioned remake, like going to the play again with different actors.
I have the VHS and the DVD, but before I got the DVD, I watched it on CZcams. It's still on CZcams as of 2024/03/07.
I grew up with the old one. My dad has a great taste in movies. Just watched them both again. The second is quite disappointing compared to the first, but I'm glad they did it. I want more remakes from older movies. I'm trying to remember another movie with similar character tones and a twisty plot. It was about a once famous play writer who has hit a dry spell. It's got Christopher Reeves. I remember it being funnier than these two. 😂just remembered "death trap "
Love how it looks like he's playing a violin while reloading at 1:28. John Wick is a Maestro. Violence is his music, and the gun is his instrument.
He even looted ammo from fallen enemies. John really took advantage of his main character status. 🤣🤣
Watch the shotgun recoil at 4:37 Soooo realistic and cool! Right?
This was beautiful to watch ❤️
The quad loading of the shotgun and the one handed press check on the Kimber 45 are my favorites.
4:09 Winston just sitting and chillin watching them load up
The matter is how faster you utilise your weapons😅
1:29 the way his silhouette looks while reloading the shotgun looks like he's playing the violin
I always felt like John would Be a 1911 guy.
I’m impressed with Chicago and New York filming the dark knight trilogy.
This is cool af
BB (the best look) & TDKR (the spectacle more than made up for it) & worked for me TDK is my least favourite visuals in any batman movie, surprisingly being the best movie (for villain & story). Tim Burton 89 batman was the one that resonated the most as Gotham. The greatest Gotham though was the pulp like 1940s stories in the Batman TAS (1992-95).
Or Under The Volcano.
The first one. No contest. Now go watch The Dresser or The Ruling Class.
First M1 Garand ping, now reload flip. A Field of reload porn has been born.
Not sure why everyone is focused on John Wicks mag flip when Deadshot (Will Smith) did it first in Suicide Squad in the 2016 film when is he testing weapons at the beginning of the film.
john wick 1 was 2014
I think some assumptions are being made here. The 3rd film is Manhattan in many wide shots of the whole city, but its mostly Pittsburgh on location. Its manhattan because they needed Gotham to be an Island cut off. They filmed in Pittsburgh instead of Chicago i would assume for reasons of budget and scheduling more than anything. Filming in Chicago and NYC can be difficult and expensive, so you go to substitute cities like Toronto or Pittsburgh. My favorite Chicago movie is Payback starting Mel Gibson. They do add some location shots of other cities, and never name the city, but it's all Chicago. And they make the era a mix of the 70s, 80s, and 90s so you can't tell when its supposed to take place, like all the cars are late 70s to early 80s models, except for some sports cars in a flashback and a limo. The clothing likewise, and the types of crimes and underworld activity, but there are all sorts of 90s artifacts sprinkled in as well.
0:00 okay, you lost me. YOU'RE NOT KUBRICK!
Chicago was real gotham city
Personally I loved the reloads for the sounds, amazing video tho!
4:40 this is the one. Looks so satisfying
