It is oddly comforting to know that Keanu Reeves can actually kill people but chooses to spare us. We could be worse than we are, but he is giving us the chance to get better.
"Zero shock in that, still..."
Keanu: "Hold my pencil."
**Shock reaches 100%**
@Jean-Boner - Shock reaches 100% - definitely ;)
Especially if you go for the most obvious choice: carotid/jugular artery (almost the same choice in a way - as one is supplying the oxygen to the head and the other drains the deoxygenated blood from the head). Cutting any of them, even with a pencil will kill you in just a few minutes (less than this as you won't be able to do much after just 1 minute of bleeding anyway).
You can also go for axilary artery if you can, even with a pencil/pen, sharp object (not necessarily a knife in anyway). Not that easy as the above choice, but possible in some scenarios. Or a classic move with a femoral one. So yeah... it is possible to kill somebody with a pencil, suprisingly in a fast way...

29:20 "Zero Shock in that."
29:23 *Shock*
29:30 *Supershock*
30:35 *Bonusshock*
Awesome reaction. Thank you.
As an EMT, we were told to NEVER remove an impaled object from someone, unless it interfered with your ability to provide care. So, if Cassian left the knife in his chest, then he had a pretty good chance of surviving, but if he pulled it out, he wouldn’t live very long. It looked like the knife punctured one of the chambers in his heart, so the sack around it would have been pierced as well, which means the knife was preventing blood from entering the pericardium and squeezing the heart until it stopped beating.
You counted the seven bullets. Fun fact. The producers/writers (who are hollywood stuntmen) tried to make sure that all the guns held the correct amount of rounds. John either reloads or finds another gun at the right count throughout the whole trilogy.
The attention to detail is amazing. John Wick is most often shown with blue light hitting him. Villains in the trilogy are shown in red light. Neutral parties are shown in yellow or warm light. For a trilogy with an insane body count there's a lot of fun movie making care that went into them.
Well, you said it correct, John either reloads or finds another gun at the right count throughout "the whole trilogy". I'm not so sure about this in the the fourth one. The scene on the roundabout ;-) doesn't seem okay in this respect. But it might just be that I missed some reloads ...
@@filippironet9231 I think it's just awkward cuts, we don't see him reload and that might just be because of pacing for the scene being more important than to show him reload, or maybe it got lost on the editing floor somehow. That scene is not a one shot, so they get a pass from me for missing a reload in the final cut.
green light= ???
blue light = ???
i am fairly sure one of these are safe zones....
All the more impressive, as, purportedly, they opt to film the gun fights without even blanks in the magazine and/or chamber. muzzle flare and the like supposedly are added in post. (I'm not finding the source RN, but I remember reading about that in two magazine articles, as well as ImDB, I think)
If you like the revenge type of movie, I highly recommend "Man On Fire" with Denzel Washington. Dakota Fanning was 10 and already amazing.
👍
100% agree. Also law abiding citizen if you can ignore the ending
Couldn't agree more. Man On Fire is one of those movies that I have to stop and watch whenever I see it on TV.
Good recommendation. 👍
Amazing movie
21:30 The reason he shoots Gianna at the end is because it's implied that she's Catholic, and suicide is a mortal sin, so he's sparing her being damned for committing suicide, but also, by taking her hand, and waiting til she passed out from blood loss, he comforted her.
It's such an awesome scene and adds so much depth to John's character.
I thought it had to do with the fact that perhaps he MUST leave his mark on her, so that Santinio doesn't just hear that his sister commited suicide, but that she was actually killed.
@@evilherojoseph I suppose that's another way to interpret it.
I keep hoping that one day Chad or Keanu will clarify one day. :)
Wow, I love that interpretation! I always thought that it was just, as the first commenter said, to leave a mark to show Santino he did his task to kill her, so the marker will be officially finally honored. But that religious interpretation is great too, and it is supported by the fact John himself said he still considered Gianna a friend.
Thanks for the excellent insight.
@@themask8221 Thanks. :) I cant take total credit for it. I was talking with a friend (who's a devout Catholic), and he initially brought it up. We batted the idea around and it seemed to make sense to both of us.
I mean, yeah, it also probably has to do with the Marker, since, technically, if John didn't 'officially' kill her, it wouldn't be fulfilled. But I still like to think my friends interpretation had a part to play as well.
I always interpreted that the only/main reason he even went after the car at all (in the beginning), was that picture/postcard/whatever in the glove compartment.
Makes sense.
My favourite take of that is that John killed a lot of people to get the picture of the woman who made him explicitely promise not to go back to killing a lot of people after she died.
He loves her so much he does everything he can to break his promise to her.
Your comment about how the subway fight "feels like two men actually physically fighting each other" prompts me to ask if you've ever seen Charlize Theron's "Atomic Blonde" - that's another film in which the fight scenes really feel exhausting and gritty and real. I recommend it!
Oh yes, great choice and one of Charlize Theron's best flicks!
John Wick is far and away the BEST original franchise of the decade for the 2010's. Creative, innovative, pushing the envelope every time and never resting on its laurels.
Lawrence part is he is the boss of all the bumbs, all the underground stuff, the flow of information. Not just pigeons. LoL
John puts one to the chest and one to the head. You call that winning hearts and minds.
The 2 shots to the chest 1 to the head is called the Mozambique Drill its a tactical drill sometimes done with just 1 shot to the chest and 1 to the head as you see in this movie, there are scenes he does do 2 shots then 1 as well throughout all the movies.
I noticed in a lot of the training videos as well that’s exactly how Keanu shoots. I’m learning so much about things I never knew were so intricate and nuanced.
@@funnylilgalreacts Yeah he's good for sure he does put a lot in real training gotta be without a doubt Deadliest Hollywood star out there for sure that really knows what he is doing.. Looking forward to your reaction for part 3! Have a wonderful day!
@@themostunknown2293 The gunfight in the catacombs was literally a three-gun match.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 That's a good catch I never noticed that but your right all the right 3 guns used during 3 gun matches.. I haven't watched any 3 gun matches in a long time, I use to watch a lot of Lena and Jerry's videos on speed shooting back in the day.
@TheMostUnknows - not sure if anybody cares about it at the end. Especially in a reall life.
After a long time, personally - I didn't even know if this is called "that". Who gives a crap...
And in case of this movie - yeah, some of that is a reall life approach - if you can call it that: at the end, go for the head, just to be sure. Without any talking, stupid speeches and so on. Just do your "job/task", and move forward.
9:32 My daughter (8 then) entered the living room right here. Might be the hardest I've ever seen her laugh. 🤣🤣🤣
12:18 I absolutely love John Leguizamo. I cannot think of a single performance he ever gave that I've ever disliked. And that includes Super Mario Bros, lol. I think him saying "I could fix this" might actually be my favorite line in the whole movie, lol.
He was the best part of Mario but i think he took the pest too far. His performance grates sometimes in it
I love Leguizamo as well. He's always given solid performances.
However... "The Pest" is extremely hard to sit through. Lol.
It's the equivalent of Jim Carrey and Dumb and Dumber Too. Love Carrey. Hard to sit through D&D too. lol
FYI- the "Doctor" in these movies is the "Keymaster" from the Matrix movies.
Coronation is the ceremony of the transition of power. Like when a prince steps in to the kings shoes, the act of crowning.
I did security at hotel’s for 30 years. In a fight you’re going to get hit. You ignore the pain at the moment and spend two days in hospital at the end, or you end up being carried by 6 friends.
I love that through the entire franchise, Winston is always in John’s corner, even if he’s doing his job.
He went back for the car out of principal, that's why Vigo's brother made the callback to Vigo telling Iosef "he's a man of principle and sheer fucking will", he didn't want to wreck it, but if it meant getting it back, that was all that mattered.
I still can't believe the goofball from Bill & Ted's is perhaps the best assassin in movie history.
I just can't believe his acting has improved so much. I rewatched Johnny Mnemonic last week (a guilty pleasure movie), and his acting just....bad.
He used time travel very wisely and was able to hone his craft. Bill on the other hand fell in with the wrong crowd and became a vampyr.
@@Viggenpower I still have the orange VHS tape 🤣. And yeah, his acting has definitely improved.
@@clevelandcbi 🤣🤣🤣... Yeah, I had to pull mine out when I replied. I couldn't remember how to spell Mnemonic 😆....
@@Viggenpower I remember so many movie theater signs even got it wrong.
They get better as they go along - first one was good because it was something somewhat original, but this one is more squared away and opens up the lore and some of the fight choreography etc is better; third one more of that which makes it better still. That's why everybody is hyped for 4 and 5 - you have an expectation that 4 will be better than 3 and 5 will be better than 4, which is a high bar to vault.
Especially with the ending of 2, 3 is just gonna be insane. No friends, no home, no car….. it’s John Wick vs Everybody
This is my least favourite. The villains are laughably pointless. The most valuable thing this movie does is set up the much better third film.
@@surlycanadian This is the most harm any villian has done to John
I personally disagree, I like the first one the most, this one is also really good, the third one kind of fell off. Its ok, not great not terrible.
@@KSReactions I agree, the third one fell off a bit, though I won't say why for fear of spoiling. Still a good movie though.
I've always thought that if Santino hadn't taunted him with that last "Yeah John..." then Winston's admonition might have worked and John might have turned around and come at the problem from another angle.
Especially calling him 'Jonathan' .. I feel that's like some accord John has with people he actually respects - like Winston -, or certain exceptional circumstances, and Santino's so not in that circle.
Santino just had to poke the bear
John knew he had one of two paths to take:
1) Walk away and let Santino live, whereby he could remain at the Continental indefinitely, immune from consequence. By remaining at the Continental, Santino could continue ordering hits on John until someone eventually got to him.
2) Kill Santino, knowing full well the potential consequences and what that would mean for him.
Car in the beginning was was a 1970 chevelle SS 454. And his mustang is a 69 Boss 429. Also I love how much power Winston had. There were hundreds of people and they all just stopped
I like how they make John to be the mythical Baba Yaga. He appears from the shadows only when he wants you to see him, and when he shot that goon in the shins and he screams, the mob boss listens to the yells and the foot steps, they make it as if it's an actual monster growling and walking towards you. Awesome subtleties
They did not make him out to be Baba Yaga....he was the one they sent to kill Baba Yaga.
The caliber of that rifle will penetrate most concealable body armor but most professionals use AP rounds (armor piercing). The shotgun is 12 gauge solid slug AP, because regular 12 gauge can't penetrate standard body armor.
I absolutely loved the scenes where he's gearing up, especially Pete Serafinowicz as the sommelier.
I love the reaction to the pencil scene soo much ha. “No shock in that scene”. Spoke too soon haha
You're gonna love Parabellum (part 3). And Lawrence Fishburne is not part of the high table but he rules all the "forgotten" people - the ones that are there but unnoticed. Which gives him eyes and ears everywhere. So although he's not one of the "ruling class", he's probably just as powerful.
29:51 When I was a kid there were these light green Faber-Castell pencils that had lead that was pretty tough, so they were really hard to break.
The face you made to the pencil though the ear 😂😂😂😂✏️
It’s like a pencil sharpener 🤮🤮🤮
@@funnylilgalreacts 😂
That liner in his suit is absolute science fiction. Real body armor that's soft like that is quite thick, can only really stop pistol shots, and degrades the more shots it takes (it would also break his ribs and completely incapacitate him even if the bullets didn't penetrate). Armor rated to stop rifles comes in two real-world varieties. Ceramic armor is relatively lightweight, but it's rigid, and as soon as it's shot it starts breaking apart so it couldn't last more than a few shots, and each shot would need to be in a separate part of the armor. Steel armor can take essentially unlimited hits by whatever pistol or rifle bullets it's designed to stop, with thicker steel stopping more energetic bullets, but it's very heavy and rigid. Another issue is how the bullets just impact and can be wiped off like nothing. Real world body armor tries to capture the bullet, because on impact the bullet will break apart and send shards of metal flying at high speed parallel to the armor. If a person is wearing armor that means fragments of bullet flying up and hitting the person's neck, or sideways into the person's arms arms, etc. So, there's generally an added layer of plastic or something to capture those fragments right at the impact site.
They say in the film that it's some kind of ceramic composite, and the best theory I can come up with is that it's made with a bunch of smaller ceramic plates in a flexible, overlapping arrangement. The military was looking at something similar called Dragon Skin years ago. The project was a complete failure in the real world, basically a fraud, and military contract got canceled and the company making it went bankrupt. Maybe in the John Wick universe the underworld has a vastly superior version of it. But the individual ceramic plates would still break on each impact, so it wouldn't last long in a firefight, and the outermost layer facing John's enemies would need to capture those bullet fragments.
Ultimately any armor can be defeated with a sufficiently energetic and pointy projectile, and there are bullets made specifically for penetrating various kinds of armor. Some have steel cores, or even more exotic materials in their construction, and some will even explode on impact to cause even more damage to armor. But anyway, it's John Wick, he's able to survive crazy stuff, and recover from injuries at an accelerated rate. Magic armor that makes him immune to everything and enemies that never think to aim for his head can be hand-waved away for the sake of entertainment. I sometimes wish they stuck with a bit more grounded realistic gunplay, but I can overlook it for the sake of enjoying the action set-pieces and incredible stunt work.
TL;DR it's a movie, roll with it.
And also HACKSMITH proved that the concept is not entirely crazy, just less effective in real life. Which is way more than you can say about most contraptions in action movies of the last hundred years or so. So again: roll with it. It's fine.
@22:12 Regarding shot placement, Keanu trained extensively for this role at Taran Tactical in Simi Valley.
@23:45 Yes, caliber is a large (haha! I made a funneh!) determining factor for penetration
In case no one went over it since I didn’t read all 400ish comments, the body shot followed by the head shot is considered to be standard tactical practice when engaging a “threat” to completely “eliminate that threat to you”. In real life it’s been noted that a lot of individuals can continue to be a threat even after being hit several times in the chest as it can take several minutes for the heart to stop or for all the blood necessary to be exanguinate in order to loose consciousness. So typically it is taught and practiced as two shots to center mass followed by a shot to the head. The body shots should at least slow down or partially incapacitate the threat then the head shot will be followed up for complete neutralization of the threat. I am using the typical terms here as you have probably noticed such as “threat, incapacitate, neutralize’ etc. just for fun and completeness. Since if you were defending yourself w a weapon you don’t want to say you want to kill someone (unless that’s what you really want to do which is of course a crime) what you want to accomplish is to stop the threat of serious or mortally injuring you with deadly force. A lot of legal stuff goes into it. Though prob went past the main subject matter basically that’s the approach and rationale behind the shot or shots to the chest followed by head shot. One practices like that so it’s just muscle memory and one doesn’t waste time trying to decide “should it shoot the chest which is a bigger target but may not completely stop the threat or the head which is almost always a stopping shot but a harder shot to take due to it’s smaller size and higher mobility of a target compared to the chest since the head can tilt, turn, look up or down, vs the chests lesser range of movement as a target. Hope this was helpful and instructional and fun. It’s great to see your reactions. Love them. Eric
7:40 : The Fact this 2 actors (John Wick & Virgo's Brother) met again on this movie. Before, it was in John Constantine (A movie to see).
I love the Somelier tasting sequence, the man clearly loves his work and it all just looks so damn cool.
Whoever was responsible for the foley, certain did a good job with that ear stab. I felt that.
@46:30, I always got the impression that when John Wick was a young upstart, Winston and Marcus were the old heads who mentored him in the trade.
Perhaps somewhere along the line, Wick may have saved their lives. So as he ascended to legendary status it was understood that none of them would ever hurt the other two.
Chapter 3 gives a peak into John Wick’s background.
Hello Angela, I await your reaction to chapter 3, I can only say that this character is one of a kind and Kenaeu was born to be John Wick, 29:22 the pencil scene impressed me and which John teaches us that weapons cannot necessarily kill people , that improvisation was amazing, greetings from Peru :)
I have been binge watching John Wick reactors. This is a good one!
The John Wick movies are following the 5 stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Keep an eye out for this when you watch Parabellum, it's interesting to see how it all ties together.
23:50 yes so the soft armor John is wearing (and that most cops wear) can only stop bullets from a pistol not a rifle because rifle bullets are moving 2.5 times faster
The car wasn't what he was after.....the picture of his wife in the car is what he cared about. After shooting the last guy....John knew he was a dead man and he wasn't going to fight it. He walked home and grab his wife's necklace. He knew when they showed up at his home. He didn't fight....he just sat there, placed the necklace over his heart and closed his eyes. He was ready to die.....
Keanu does a shooting competition called Three gun. In it you go through a series of stages using three different kinds of guns. You use a pistol, a shotgun and a rifle. So when you see him shooting he can do it with such proficiency and accuracy.
Most special forces are taught to triple tap, two to the chest one to the head. They way he shoots is very militant.
I got to meet Mr. Reeves while he was training for this film. He attended 2-gun and 3-gun competitions all over the country in addition to his training with Taran Tactical. He randomly showed up to an event I was in, at the Rod and Gun Club in El Paso, while I was stationed at Ft. Bliss. It was not an officially sanctioned event (it was organized, but purely for fun, no national ranking). I showed up and discovered that he'd paid to cater food and drink for the entire event.
He treated the entire thing like a total non-event, gave out autographs to people who recognized him, and he placed upper-mid pack. There was no publicity, no cameras, no anything....he was just there, and competed along with everyone else.
He's probably the nicest person associated with Hollywood; a total class-act. I'm not big on the whole celebrity worship thing, but I did get to shake his hand and thank him for the water and food.
Another "gun" movie to watch is "Shoot 'Em Up" with Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Monica Bellucci. You'll love the "Carrot Scene"...
36:09 "Henchmens Are Us." 😂 Love it!
John is a man of purpose and sheer will
I just love the mission preparation scene, like something out of a video game 😂
The King of the Bowery was to show that there are folks beyond the High Table that have agency. In essence, the High Table runs the world, but the King runs the streets.
And the Continental, though instrumental to the Table, has its own power and leverage, so Winston is making a play, and in a way, is using John to destabilize the whole structure.
The gold coins are an underworld currency of indeterminate value. I call them "Hitcoin", and I've been trying to spread that around to make it stick, but no luck so far. 🤣
It’s the new “fetch”!
@@funnylilgalreacts just call me Gretchen I guess. 🤣
Reeves is actually a highly trained shooter. He's trained with the absolute best (Tarantactical). The shooting/reloading is practically muscle memory, making it easier to act while sitting than it may appear.
When it comes to shooting people, you don't aim for the head. The head is small and easy to miss, you aim for the torso, because it is bigger and easier to hit, and even if they have protection, the force of impact will knock someone down, so they'll be vulnerable and in pain, which is difficult to recover from.
Your 'I want more' line at the 46 minute mark really got me. Can't decide if you were channeling Dopinder from Dead Pool 2 or Kirsten Dunst from Interview with the Vampire. Either way, great react and review video. I think the main thing Wick 2 did was not be a dud sequel as has happened so many times. Great action scenes, and continued world building of the Continentals and the society of assassins, and yeah laid the foundation for the future Wick outings.
I love that the beggar King became a figure in Assassin's lore.
Well, one of at least two Assassin's lore.
You missed the Matrix reunion in the first film. The Asian Doctor was the same actor that played the Key Master in the second Matrix film.
It’s called the body armor drill. 2 to the chest, 1 to the head. Just in case they are wearing body armor.
The two shots to the body and one to the head is called the Mozambique drill or failure to stop drill. If the two body shots do not stop the opponent the head shot is ALMOST a guaranteed kill shot. Larger caliber and more powerful cartridges will penetrate lighter weight body armor. Although in this movie nobody has a large enough caliber.
Bulletproof suits are a real thing, although not as effective as the suits in this movie, Kevlar material has been around for a while now.
You’re exactly right, tactical armor has specific calibers they can stop. You’ll still fell a lot of pain but you won’t die
Fun Fact! The Sommelier (weapons guy) was the original voice for Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode 1.
It's a mantra: 'One in the body, one in the head; always leaves the target dead.'
In regards to Ares, Satino's mute right hand, I never really thought the movie set her up to be a big threat. Just an arrogant human caltrop in John's way, making Satino's death all the more carthartic.
She's like Santino himself; pretty but useless.
I was Field Service Tech right after 911 and I had sharpened pencil confiscated from me cause it was considered a weapon of opportunity.
They took my tweezers! To be fair I was terrorizing my eyebrows a lot back then…
1970 Ford Mach 1 Mustang. I cried during the opening scenes of this movie because of the car. I love Ford Mustangs.
The thing I like about these movies is they happen close together. There isn’t a huge Timelapse between movies. Shows how tough John Wick is to not get much rest. Can’t wait for the fourth movie to come out. They’re already working on a fifth movie and two spin-offs of John Wick. One is a TV series called the Continental which happens prior to John Wick and the second is a movie called Ballerina. I’d love to know the story behind John Wick and Winston. They have a more father-son relationship.
There's a fan theory that Winston is John's father and gave him up to be trained. Another is that he's John's father-in-law (either with or without John's knowledge) or that he's the father of the daughter of a character we meet in JW3 (again, with or without John's knowledge).
It also appears that Winston has some kind of beef with the High Table or others in the organization and he's using John's situation as a means of settling his own score.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 that’s interesting. From what I saw in the trailers for number 4 we should get answers on John’s parentage.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 have you seen JW4 yet? And if you have, did it live up to your expectations?
@@yndsu Haven't seen it yet
You should check out Street Kings. He plays a Cop. Lots of "Gunfighting" in it. In the Wick movies he is using a variation of the C.A.R System Center Axis Relock.
John's contract may be open to anyone, but it doesn't mean everyone wants to kill him...but a lot will try
What would I do if I saw 2 guys fighting like THIS on a train? Take the next train! 🤣🤣🤣
-I disagree with the 2nd one being better because I thought the 1st one went more with emotion. I thought the first 30 minutes was the closest you could get to a perfect setup. I get chills at Viggo’s “That fucking nobody” speech and John’s “I’m thinking I’m back” speech. I thought this one was great but I put at 3rd in the trilogy. However, it started out strong and it didn’t feel like it unnecessarily slowed down.
-What you said about them already having an idea for a sequel is something I’ve thought about. They tied the first one up very well to where they could’ve ended it but made the character so compelling that fans would be interested. For this one, the ending was such that they teased the audience with a third chapter as if to say, “We have more. However, in order for us to give it to you, you have to make this one a success.” For the third one, I knew that Lionsgate had pretty much greenlit Chapter 4.
-For a weird trivia moment, the guy John shot in the knees at the end of the scene where he gets his car back was Oleg Prudius. In 2006, he joined WWE where he wrestled under the name Vladimir Koslov. During that time, he held the WWE Tag Team titles and his tag partner’s first name was Santino.
I just really enjoyed your reaction. The pencil scene, your reaction had me losing my mind. I just found my favorite movie reactor. Thank you.
Great reaction. I subscribed after watching your first John Wick reaction and dived into your Star Wars and Marvel reactions. Fantastic reactions.
In the first John wick movie you get to see that there is this assassin organization. And it's infiltrated all aspects of our society here.
This movie you get to see that the organization is worldwide. That there are codes, honor, and certain amounts of respect that go along with being a member of this society.
I've always thought that throughout the movie you get to see why Santino's Father chose his sister over him. She respected those ways and was all about that life. Santino was a cruel and power hungry brat.
He chose weak henchman which was why I was so easy for John to just mow through them. Her henchman were more formidable for John.
She faced her death on her own terms with honor and respect, because she knew that John would handle it in the end. And in the end Santino went and hid in the Continental. Thinking he would be protected by the rules that he had already broken.
And now you can see why Santino is a father chose his sister over him. She was the stronger of the two. She was more honorable and respectful of the two.
At least that's the way I have always thought of it.
As far as the shooting at the shins. That goes back to old martial arts and self-defense training.
As a teenager I took martial arts and one of the things that they had always mentioned besides it being for defense only, was three things: Go for the eyes, man can't see man can't fight. Go for the throat, man can't breathe man can't fight. Go for the knees, man can't stand man can't fight.
Go for any of those three areas, it gives you time to get away and regroup. It gives you more of a defensive posture. It gives you more of a tactical advantage if your attacker is injured.
A lot of us have enjoyed your reactions, and I'm really looking forward to seeing your thoughts and reaction on John Wick 3. Especially since John Wick 4 is coming up next year.
Have a great weekend.
Its why they call the best hit men "Mechanics", There are 2 New movies you need to watch/react to, the Original Charles Bronson's "The Mechanic" And Jason Statham's "The Mechanic" both good movies
“Ohh… the stairs!”
*Gets Chapter 4 flashbacks*
@23:50...Different types of bullet resistant body armor are rated for the caliber they can handle. They mentioned silicon carbide and ceramic matrices being sown into the kevlar. The kevlar itself is for the smaller caliber pistols most people use in the film, while the silicon carbide/ceramic matrices are for the more potent pistol/rifle rounds.
Body armor has many levels depending on the protection offered.
Level I is obsolete.
Level IIA is good for 9mm (1165ft/s) and .40S&W (1065ft/s) FMJ (full metal jacket) pistol calibers.
Level II is good for all pistol rounds up to an including .357 magnum JSP (jacketed soft point).
Level IIIA is good for all pistol rounds up to .44 magnum.
Level III is the first one capable of handling rifle ammo. Six shots of 7.62x51 NATO (2780 ft/s).
Level III+ can take the same as III but also M855 green tip and the M193 5.56 ammo which was used by the US Military in their battle rifles.
Level IV is rated for one hit from 7.62mm armor piercing (2880 ft/s).
There is an intermediate Level IIIA+ that is rated for shotgun, FN 5.7 and 9mm defense rounds but it's not an official rating from NIJ (National Institute of Justice)
After the first movie, we all were wondering how someone gets killed with a pencil. Now we know and we will never look at a pencil the same way.
I couldn't wait for you to get to my absolute favorite scene .... 41:21 ... "Because I deemed it not to be."
We can only imagine the extent of Winston's control in that world!
Take care until your next video!
Great reaction, Angela!
I love Winston's turn of phrase too: "Because I deemed it not to be." "You demand nothing, Mr D'Antonio, this kingdom is mine and mine alone." "You incinerated the priest’s temple."
I wasn't wondering about how to kill someone with a pencil, I had a child abduction self defense course in school when I was 12, and the instructor specifically showed us how to kill with pencils. Doubt they would do that now😂
Well, Heath Ledger showed us how to do it AND make it an entertaining magic trick for kid's parties 🥳
Ta-da! It's...gone
@@manleychenoweth8144 🤣
John Wick was smart to be as prepared as he did before killing Gianna. He knew the kind of man Santino was and that Santino would turn on him and put a bounty on his head.
"A lot of guys have told me that John Wick 2 is their favorite movie"
So, it isn't due to absence of a love interest. His love for his late wife is something that is a cornerstone of his character, a core value of who he is. This second movie takes an excellent premise and a compelling world- one with gold coins, strict rules, and incredible reverence for said lifestyle participants (and the consequences that come with their decisions) and expands upon that world, the rules, and the consequences. The action is more creative, the locations are more exotic, and the consequences are more dire.
All of which are things that escalate **even further** in Chapter 3: Parabellum. So glad you're sharing these with all of us!
EDIT: "zero shock on the pencil kill" -- until it gets REAL, you mean 😂
that redbull is going to turn you into Miss Wick 😂😂😂 with a pittie alarm and fat cat
Fun fact: Lance Reddick's character Charon is the name of the ferryman to the underworld in greek mythology.
You'd think all of these guys would wear their brown pants whenever they even mention the nam John Wick.
Getting hit by cars is John's Kryptonite.
It’s literally the one thing he can’t stop
@@funnylilgalreacts loved you saying "they never go for the head", followed by a great analysis of how he literally finishes everyone with a headshot.
@@charlie53echo on him! They never try to shoot John in the head 😂
@@funnylilgalreacts yeah, I figured. Really glad you dig this series. Can't wait for Parabellum.
All of the guns John picked out were custom versions made by Taran Butler the competition shooter that trained Keanu for this movie. Taran makes several million dollars every time a new John Wick movie comes out because fans of the movie want the exact guns from the film
The producer of these movies is a stunt guy from The Matrix movies, where he also worked with Keanu :)
The reason for the "double tap" (as they call it - body first, then the head shot) is because:
1. The head is a smaller target. Even a great marksman can miss in a fast-action assault like Wick performs.
2. Shooting the body (being a bigger target) ensures a less likely chance for the enemy to retailiate with fire, giving more time/opportunity to get a more accurate head shot on the second firing.
Here's a question though...
Why is the #1 pencil in the world a "No.2" pencil?
@funnylilgalreacts best reaction of you i have ever seen when he pushes the pencil in the brain.
"Henchmen-r-us" 😄
Great reaction, I agree about Ruby Rose’s character, Kassian was a much better adversary she just seemed to be there
@Ian Wills - And let's not forget the "small" role from Franco Nero.
A pure heavy duty actor, also from some older classic movies such as "Force 10 from Navarone", "Django" (the one from 1966)... and much more. And with a long term relationship with Vanessa Redgrave.
The director has said this movie takes place only four days after the original movie.
That’s insane
"Do you fear damnation john?"
And you say "why 🤨 its not real?"
And i say "good! Im watching a rational person 🙌"
"I don't remember the subways looking this nice..." it's bescause it was filmed in Montreal. 😂
That explains A LOT
@@funnylilgalreacts The funny thing is that, that chase scenen at the beginning, where they pass a store with pink neons, was filmed directly in front of the theatre where I went to see the movie. The urge to go out and see if they were there was huge!
Yeah rue Stanley!😊
In the Marine Corps what we learn is called 2 shots to the Chest 1 to the Head to confirm kill
I agree with the other comment to see man on fire. A great movie I'm sure ull love. As to if it matters the bullet vs the body armor. Short answer yes. There are different levels of body armor , and higher velocity rounds can defeat armor designed to defeat lower velocity, say lower maybe being a type of pistol , vs a higher being more a rifle . Not a perfect answer, but think u can get an idea . But good reaction. Loved it. Also would like to throw something in retrospect. When John asked how was he, answer was.. he was a good dog. If you think a bit differently, maybe it was John that was always a good dog , loyal, fierce, protective, loving.... maybe he was saying goodbye to John a loved and respected associate, and friend. Maybe....
Military personnel are often trained to kill an enemy with a bullet to the chest and head. The tattoo you see on John’s back in the first movie is reminiscent of the motto for the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines, often worn by actual veterans or wannabe badasses. Since I choose to believe he’s a former Marine it makes sense for him to utilize that tactic
Fun fact. 18:24 that is the actual costume director of the movie series, he is not an actor. They couldn't find an actor that could use the tailor lingo and passion as well as the costume director, so they cast him.
People keep asking if he's back and I haven't really had an answer...yeah, I'm thinking he's back! Great reaction to John Wick Chapter 2!
As a parkourist.. doing stuntwork in a 3 piece suit actually isnt restricting at all. I workout and go for runs in them lol
Tactical means its easier for it to bend, for him to move. and the bulletproof suit means its impenetrable, but painful. His suit is tailored specifically for running and gunning.
P.S. In highschool, me and my friends debated if it was possible to kill someone with a pencil, I said it was, my friend said it wasn't possible.
*Then John wick proved me right 3 times in 10 seconds* But honestly, I dont flinch much, im not squeamish, but that pencil scene made me go HOLY SH!T
He shoots for the torso because “center mass” is an easier target to hit. It is also sure to drop someone. Headshots are just assurance.
Also my personal favorite is the third movie, so I’m excited for you to get to it.
I agree for the most part. I do take a little exception to "sure to drop" especially with something of marginal power like a typical handgun round.
On head shots most have no conception of how small the actual target area is for immediate incapacitation. On frontal shots the target area is roughly the size of a lemon and is shaped like an inverted triangle.
