John Wick Breaks The Rules
The Continental, an assassin safe haven, has its own rules and regulations that MUST be adhered to, barring which assassins get excommunicado (they’re taken care of!).
John Wick 2 sees John break these rules for moral justice as he kills Sanino D’Antonio on Continental grounds. Throwing caution to the wind, John takes a stand against the entire criminal world for what he believes in, showcasing a truly epic moment in the saga.
The Impossible Stairway
200 flights of stairs is a mountain task to overcome (phew!). Now 200 flights of stairs filled with assassins? That sounds like something only The Boogeyman can get through, as John Wick: Chapter 4 shows just that.
Clawing his way through the hoard, John uses every trick in his book to reach atop. But will he succeed? Although you will have to watch the movie to find out, all we can say is… A work of Art!
Dragons Breath Shotgun
With every John Wick movie, excessive gunfire is found to be a must. But John Wick: Chapter 4 elevates the gunplay by introducing the legendary Dragons Breath Shotgun, a fire-shooting shotgun that just obliterates enemies. In the most gracious manner, John collects this gun and goes on a rampage, running through his enemies like they are paper.
