RIP, Lance Reddick, the concierge from the John Wick movies passed away on Friday. He was 60 years old. He left us too soon.😢
Oh no. I fell in love with that actor through Fringe. That's a sad loss
Man he got taken from us way too soon.
I hope there's enough footage filmed of John wick 4 for him to be in it still. I really enjoyed his character in the John wick films.
@@notmefrfr Me too. I think he filmed some of his scenes for the John Wick spinoff Ballerina.
Michael Nyqvist died as well a few years ago, that's two gone from John wick :(
9:27 Jimmy taking his hat off was to signify “I’m no longer here as a cop. Please don’t kill me.”
Jimmy covers his chest Cam with his hat
Fun fact, the director confirmed the local cops know who John is and as long as no civilians are harmed they stay out of it.
Marketa being the one with foreknowledge was perfect. "Y'all dont even know" 🤣
Love watching the ones that she saw and the others didn't. The knowing smiles are hilarious.
Yeah it was perfect and exactly what I was thinking as they were talking.
Marketa must be hear broken now that he has passed.
Jimmy the cop and Francis were the smartest characters ever. XD
Up there with the one goon from Batman the Animated Series.
10:42. Rest in Peace to Lance Reddick. Prayers to his family and loved ones. Marketa must having a rough time right now.
Such a presence on screen.
RIP commander
Why
@@choddomoify he just died 17th March 2023
Damn I fell in love with him on Fringe. RIP king
Rana at the beginning: "It's about a dog or about him getting his dog back right?" 🤣💀First time reactions to this movie are always great.
"oh sweet summer child" 😂
The dog at the end is apparently Keanu Reeves own dog
Simple thing that makes this movie one of the best action movie of the last 20 years...John Wick reload his gun which is rare in action movies, take damage and has limited resources. And the choregraphy are glorious ! I also love just the fact you says his name, people knows what he is about !
The raid is better,
@@mmor7380 Wrong.
@@ExUSSailor it was craOer than John wick better fight choreography
@M Mor The Raid has almost 0 gunfights. Yes the fight choreography is way better but that's all those movies have. Do not compare those movies to John Wick.
@@HoratioVelveteen-nl5kw not all movie have those type of fights, yes the raid is too much to compare to John wick,
from a 2021 vulture interview with Lance Reddick:
"How has your friendship changed after four movies?
We’ve gotten to know each other a little better. I hope I don’t get in trouble for telling this story: During John Wick: Chapter Four, my first day of filming happened to be Keanu’s birthday. But he wasn’t in the scene. He came to the set anyway at nine o’clock at night with his girlfriend who I had never met. And she is … can I say a bad word?
Go for it.
His girlfriend is cool as fuck. And she told me that she asked Keanu what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said, “I want to go see Lance.” He’d never done this before but he wrote me a note thanking me for what I brought to the character in these movies. And he wanted to give the note to me. I’ll never forget it. I’m going to cry now."
RIP.
elevated everything he appeared in and brought a natural gravitas to each character he portrayed.
The man was the textbook definition of class in this series. He was one of my favorite characters.
Man, that was amazing to read.
I love the symbolism of John destroying the foundation of his new life, the basement floor, to re-enter his old life, the coins and weapons.
RiP Lance, can't believe he's gone. Absolutely insane. Such an incredible actor.
Frances lived because he gave John Wick information, when he said he lost 26 kilos he was telling John Wick there was 26 guys inside waiting for him. For that information. He gets to live. Same with the girl on the hotel room floor, Wick says "Give me something" & she knows, give up something or die. She gives up Vigo's Church storage vault.
6:40 “Oh.”
Never in the history of cinema has more been conveyed from the use of a single two letter word.
2 letters was enough to introduce John Wick to the audience.
Poor Marketa. Man awful time for this reaction to drop. RIP Lance.
Marketa's love for Lance Reddick is shared by a lot of people. That news hurt. RIP Commander Zavala, Charon, and Cedric Daniels. Long Live Lance Reddick.
Agreed. He'll always be Agent Broyles to me.
and albert wesker
If Marketa loves Lance Riddick that much she should really watch FRINGE. She'll love it!
Lance passed away few days ago. RIP to the legend.
If you mean the sci-fi show from the 2008 then +1 for that reaction
@@MrMoose94 NOOOOO!!! My heart has broken.....
omg fringe is such a goood show
@@kamenwaticlients one of the saddest celeb deaths ever for me, he was a great actor and even better person. Sad he died a week before John wick 4 released he had been doing press for the movie and had an appearance booked on the Kelly clarkson show next week to promote the movie. Truly a huge loss
The scene with Viggo explaining who John Wick is is iconic. There's no two ways about it. One of my favorite scenes in cinema history.
It is the best intro for a protagonist ever.
Most probably the most terrifying line you can hear - "You will do nothing because you can do NOTHING!".
Did anyone notice that when John wakes up there’s a trail of blood that implies the dog might have crawled to him? 😭
1:16 "Let's say you're a fan and I'm John Wick" 😂
Lance Reddick R.I.P. The Continental thanks you for your service and will sing your praises.
RIP to Lance Reddick he was a amazing voice actor in horizon zero dawn game. Love the reaction can't wait to see the next John wick reaction
I love that Vigo set it up at the beginning. " he laid down the foundation for our family to run this city. " Well, John giveth and he taketh away. R.I.P. Lance.
9:31 My favorite explanation for this interaction was from CinemaWins
“If someone complains about the dragon burning stuff in HIS cave, you just go.
“Have a goodnight, thanks for not burning me and the rest of the village down too.”
My two favorite lines from CinemaSins: "John Wick survives this" and "Taking a knife to a John Wick fight" 😄
I don't think Keanu Reeves is the greatest at acting. But His acting just brings a smile to my face. And that's plenty.
I think he is a type actor, he is really great at certain roles, which is enough if you are really good at what you do :)
@@Billy01113 Ah yes...as long as he's wearing a suit
Same. I enjoy his work. To this day I still laugh at his Bill and Ted character. It's so good
@@bizarrosorcerer *I KNOW WHERE THE BASTARD SLEEPS*
He's not a great actor but he does make great movies
RIP to Lance Reddick. I loved his performance in Bosch.
I love how Nav says “I’m ready… am I ready? (Looks around)”
You three have the best reaction to this film ever. 🎉❤
Fun fact, a company I used to work for provided the majority of the parts to build John's Chevelle SS from the end of the movie.
"John Wick wasn't exactly the Boogey Man. He's the one you sent to kill the f*cking Boogey Man."
You know, something I love about this movie is that... during this entire build up where scary people are learning about Iosef killing John Wick's dog... everybody is scared shitless... and they don't even know that the dog had anything to do with Helen except for the fact that he is still grieving her loss. How do you think the scene would've gone if Aurelio just laid Iosef out like that, got the call from Viggo, and told him that Iosef not only stole John Wick's car, and not only killed John Wick's dog... but that that dog represented John's hope for a peaceful life. And they took it - and they know what kind of a guy John Wick is, they know his professional skillset, they know he's the best, and they're scared because he's the best.
But they should've been more scared of the man who had to bury hope twice in the same week.
The movie sparked two sequels and there's a third sequel (part four) just around the corner, and we've been introduced to this wildly intriguing world, with the Continental, the High Table, the Bowery King, the Markers, open Contracts, the Coins, and everybody knows who John Wick is... and even that makes John Wick uncomfortable when he's "recognized" in public, because that's not who he wants to be. But it's a "job" so it makes him a highly-sought after assassin.
How many of these people have ever seen John Wick make it PERSONAL?
"I don't give a fuck about the guns, the gold coins, the dinner reservations, the secret societies that forbid business on Continental Grounds,, the high table, the professionalism, the women, the adrenaline, any of it. This guy killed my dead wife's dog. He's dead. There's no discussion."
I don’t think the dog was in the car at the airport. He was more than likely hanging out in the hanger that John drove out of. I believe the reason Marcus took the contract is cause he found out that the contract wasn’t exclusive so it gave him a way to keep an eye on John for protection. I love the attention to detail they did in this movie. John fires 15 rounds from his pistol and reloads every 15 shots. Not like a lot of movies that they have unlimited bullets in the guns. Nash was telling John how many bad people were in the club in a code.
One reactor inserted a funny animation of a cartoon dog flying out the window.😄
I like how Viggo's henchmen, the more experience, mature ones, looked so annoyed to be put up against John Wick because of Iosef's stupidity, like: "Boy you just significantly reduce our life expectancy for shit and giggle"
The philosophy the directors had for this movie was *By stuntmen, For stuntmen* and it truly is that. Lionsgate actually had so little faith in this movie they released the first trailer only a month before the movie premiered, and while it did well in the box office it was pure word of mouth that drove this masterpiece of action cinema. And before this movie was made Keanu Reeves’ career was not doing so well, so in the scene when he says “People have been asking me if I’m back, yeah, I’m thinking I’m back!” it’s so perfectly meta.
Also sadly 2 days ago we lost Lance Reddick (aka Charon the concierge). Only 60 years old. You were an absolute favorite of mine sir, Rest In Peace.
It was a pleasure having you with us, Lance. You will be missed. Rest easy.
I'm excited that this crew is watching because it's john wick, don't need another reason, but also with the fourth movie coming out it's going to great to have a full couch reaction!
There talking about making a fifth one 4 does well
Jimmy was the smartest guy in the entire series. He knew to Nope out of a thing
Rana: where's the hotel security for this?
Madam, it's a hotel for assassins, hahaha
the reason the insurance guy only shoots at John once at the end fight is because Vigo unloaded the rest of the bullets into Marcus
The reaction at 10:40 was great 🤣
didn't age well. RIP
Still one of my favourite character 'introductions' of all time is when Aurelio is on the phone with Viggo and telling him why he hit his punk ass son, Viggo's response of "Oh." is so absolutely loaded, you realize right then before literally anything else, this was a catastrophic fuck up.
I think it's the way the atmosphere changes. You feel like Viggo is going to do something to Aurelio and make him sorry for punching his son. And the minute he explains that the puck stole John Wick's car after killing his dog, the atmosphere completely changes. Viggo went from being in control to completely dropping his strength.
RIP lance reddick, fuckin stellar actor and even better person, it’s gonna be incredibly bittersweet watching John wick 4. Man made literally every thing he was in better and it’s real sad knowing he’s gone.
The weird thing about the series is that he's not actually supposed to be called "Baba Yaga" which is a specific female folk legend, but "Babaiga," which is a similar word but a totally different thing, which ACTUALLY DOES translate to "boogeyman." The problem is that the filmmaker didn't understand that the two things were different and just used the wrong one.
R.I.P. Lance Reddick. Incredibly talented actor. He made this character his.
Great movie. IMO, Viggo started all of this. As soon as Wick did the job and earned his way out, he (Viggo) should have told his son, "He obviously is a bad dude. Stay away from John Wick". And show him a picture of Wick so he knew. But the son didn't know who he was. That was Viggo's responsibility to share son knowledge with his son. Yes, Iosef was a fool. But purely he was because of Viggo's incompetence. (IMO) Great Post, Ladies. And thank you for sharing it with us.
To be fair, what are the odds of them crossing paths at any point? And all he had to do was not act like a complete dickhead. He's a mob boss's son. If he liked the car, I'm sure he could have gotten one just like it. There's a reason Viggo punched him in the stomach after learning what he did.
What I love about this movie is that is no one has heard of it and you explain his motivations from the start of the movie, no one understands or they think it's a gag.
Then they watch the movie and immediately, everything that follows is justified.
Pointing out the bit about him confirming every kill with a headshot. John(with a gun at least) uses a style called the Mozambique; two shots to the chest(trying to hit one lung and the heart) and then a third to the head. It's an awesome detail they keep in almost every instance of him using pistols and even sometimes with a rifle.
Keanu is a true martial artist and has worked as a stuntman in the past.
How did I not notice that ?
Marcus only took the contract after Vigo said it's open. Meaning he took it so no one else takes it and hurts John. If it was only for him (exclusive) he would have declined.
John Wick is basically what you get playing a video game with "God Mode" and auto-aim enabled.
As someone who's gone through some troubling self thoughts, I can tell you exactly what John is doing with the car in the beginning.
He's not getting his aggression out; he's testing to see if he still wants to live or not.
Makes sense for John Wick...man...
Hope you're doing better these days.
"Those eggs are scrambled now" LMAO that got me.
Love seeing this group! Gotta have more reactions with these 3 down the line 🤙
Fringe is definitely a must watch! R.I.P. Mr. Reddick.
17:23 So anyway I started blasting.
RIP Lance Reddick.
loved the reaction ladies! Looking forward to watching the next two parts with you.
He wasn’t “barely retired.” He was retired for 5 and then some years.
As I caught the notification for this first time watch, I was reminded that it's been almost 10 years since the first film in the franchise, so it makes sense why new reactions keep popping up.
And of course, R.I.P. Lance Reddick, who portrays Charon the Concierge. He passed just two days ago while on press tour for the fourth film coming soon to theaters.
P.S.: The Mayhem guy from the Allstate insurance commercials adds some comic relief and Le Castle Vania became quite a popular EDM artist after his songs were featured in the soundtrack for this one.
Great job ladies on the reaction. Just a Great Movie...
"John Wick what do you do for a living?"
John Wick: Yes
That you can give me your son or die screaming alongside him is so primal. It’s also why John didn’t kill him at the club. He wanted his dad to choose
I pogged when this popped up in my notifications lol, I love John Wick
The whole Baba Yaga thing was likely a miscommunication somewhere in the production. Baba Yaga is indeed the old witch who lives in a mobile hut that walks around on giant chicken legs. Babayika (pronounced very similarly) is something very much similar to "the boogeyman".
"he didn't change his shirt?.."
"Psh..vengeance"
Lol
first time watching y'all and love the energy! Will be back for more for sure - keep it up
Marketa cracking up is the best part of this reaction 😂
Haven't seen Navi for years on this channel with the reactions I'm following. I'm delighted she's stil around. 👍
Great reaction, ladies! Can’t wait for the other two!
two of the best movie lines ever in this one:
"That fucking nobody, is John Wick!"
"John will come for you, and you will do nothing, because you can do nothing. So get the fuck out of my sight!"
A best way to piss a mob boss is to torch his money vault. This method never fails
I heard this series once described as "Gun Ballet" and I love that. It's such a cool world they built...
Keanu Reeves is so wicked.
Sorry for your loss, Kettie. RIP Daddy
I am SO glad you watched this. One of my favorite action movies of the 21st century, and the sequels are really good too.
I really enjoyed watching this reaction with just the ladies of the Normies 😂 hope y'all 3 watch all the sequels as well...
Great reaction, can't wait for the next 2!!
Naw we need a part 2 ASAP. This was by far my fav reaction!
The best introduction to a character in a LONG time. Oh he is a loving husband. Oh he has a puppy. Nice car. Wait? WHAT?!?!?!!?
I believe the "bad" Keanu movie Rana is talking about is Babes in Toyland and while not great I have a nostalgia love for it. Plus it has a great cast Keanu, Drew Barrymore, and the late great Pat Morita.
Could've been Knock Knock. That one was terrible. It had bratty women, that maybe she equated to "babysitter"
he had made alot of bad movies
@@nirobu I thought she was talking about Knock Knock too but there weren’t any babysitters so that confused me lol.
Love this selection of reactors XD
Watching the John Wick movies in the cinema was an experience which not many people can understand. One of the best franchise, Amazing from start to finish with a brilliant cast, all actors are well known, and extremely talented. I am going to see John Wick 4 next week in IMAX ;D can't wait!!
A modern classic! Amazing theater experience for me.
20:01 And if you know about what was going on with Keanu personally at the time, that soliloquy hits even harder on a meta level.
Really looking forward to you watching the next two 😁
6:41 Still one of the best intros to a main character ever.
Notice how it almost sounds similar to how Keanu Reeves famously says the word, "Whoa" in his other films.
Rip Lance
“Eyes up Guardian”
I love ladies night, it was such a blast to watch the Queens of the Normies. What's also fitting is that I watched John Wick with my mom and we had a great time. Even the end discussion was similar to what my mom and I talked about.
John Wick ain’t no joke!!! He was out the game and living a good life and then they came for him over his car, right after his wife died and she sent him a puppy as a piece of her. They literally woke up the beast!
Great franchise choice! The fact that Rana and Navi hasn't even been spoiled about the too cute for this world dog is great. Also love that you all are splitting up the better and lesser parts of Normies (😂) for John Wick so we get the reactions twice. Movies deserve it!
If you believe these reactors are really that clueless, there's a bridge I want to sell you
Nice reaction. Looking forward to the next 3.
"John Wick wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to KILL THE F*CKIN BOOGEYMAN."
- Viggo Tarasov
An ancient order called Assa-sins used to accept only gold as payment for their services such as espionage, murder, or counter-intelligence. It adds to the believability of the movie since there is precedence in real history. Some even argue that this is the origin of the Beggars Guild in China's past as well as the Ninja of Japan.
14:18 is way too funny! You girls got to get out more often and have fun! LOL
Love your reaction to this. Such a well made movie. And yes, John always finishes a kill with a head shot. He is the consummate professional, he doesn't leave anyone wounded to get back up behind him. As for Perkins, I think he left her alive because she was an assassin like him. Her coming to kill him wasn't personal, it was just business. So he thought he could leave her alive and he would have Viggo dead before she could come after him again, so she wouldn't have a reason to try and kill him again. Besides that, he was leaving her for the Continental staff to deal with.
In all the reactions I've watched to John Wick, why has no one mentioned how Viggo's son SMOKING AT A GAS STATION so perfectly illustrates how self-destructive his entitled view of life will be for the rest of the movie?
9:36 also probably doesn’t want to fuck with him right now 😂
I realize this is a month late, but here's some fun facts about Daisy: First of all, obviously you can't teach a dog to poop on command. So, the pile of poop was rendered with CGI. They spent about $5,000 rendering the perfect pile of puppy poop. Now _that_ is an expensive turd.
Secondly, the actor who "killed" Daisy felt so awful about it (even though she was, of course, unharmed) that he spent the next hour petting Daisy, and ultimately adopted her.
Fun little fact… the henchman that “hit Daisy and killed her” is a dog lover and on the day of filming that scene, he was seen walking around all day holding her and loving on her because he was so upset about that scene.
The Continental Hotel in the film is a real place although it's name has changed several times but it is known as, The Flatiron Building. It is in New York City. A very cool structure. Check it out.
Love the reaction!
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
This was so fun to watch 💗
Fun fact when vigo poured him and his son a glass of vodka he poured the cheap stuff for 2 reasons one because what he was gonna do would put a bad taste in his mouth by hitting his son and when his son threw up it would burn on the way back up. Then he went for a different bottle of vodka, probably something he normally drinks
