Wait, did I just load my gun... I forgot... I better do an unnecessarily elaborate one-handed press check to be sure.

 

[bwframe]

Exactly!

I don't know how anyone that knows anything about actual firearm handling can watch this ?

 

[ShimmeringTrees]

Based on the others it was pretty obvious the body count would be thru the roof. Hopefully it was a series ender because any believability factor left the room after 2.

Yup, like Resident Evil and Terminator.

'John Wick: Chapter 4' Box Office Success Prove Ditching Feminism and Empowering Men Makes Money

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the primary driving force for Wick’s success is men, who have been flocking to the theaters to see the film:

My wife watched the first three with me, but it certainly wasn't her first choice in movie selection. If they had managed to work some Korean love/drama story line into the flick she would have jumped to watch them.

Loved part 4 myself , but you have to turn off your brain and enjoy it for what it is, probably the best 3 hour just epic gunfights movie currently out there. Everything from the choreography, cinematography and music was on point. That being said I do not have an interest in a Part 5, maybe a Spin Off with the Korean chick and the Tracker but that's about it.

My wife has no interest in these sorts of movies either.

Sorry, I saw it this weekend. John Wick has devolved into a Looney Tunes cartoon. The fight scenes were so long they became boring, and apparently, John can survive literally anything just by laying down dramatically for a few seconds, then slowly trotting off to the next scene.

Haven't seen 4 yet, but that's how I felt about 2 and 3. Honestly I think they took one of the best action movies ever made and ruined the legacy with 3 turds.

Where is Leadeye? Probably following the money…

The most interesting thing to me about JW4 is that they chose the holster manufacturer that I prefer and created a custom Baba Yaga Ronin holster for the movie and it's now being sold through their site:

The Baba Yaga Ronin OWB Holster | GunfightersINC

When John Wick took on the high table, he came to GunfightersINC. The Baba Yaga cut Ronin OWB Holster was built to Keanu Reeves’s exact specifications for the film.

gunfightersinc.com

I've been using a Ronin holster with my P10C OR for a couple years now and really like it. I'm tempted to order one of these to see what I think.

Any franchise will have at least N+1 movies made, where N= the number that make money, and the +1 being the at least one that did not is my general thought on this.

That said, I'm interested in John Wick 4. I was planning to go be in ATL this weekend and take my son, but plans interrupted with some medical issues. I'll have to figure out if I wait for it to stream, as without him, I'd be seeing it alone.

But then I like over the top, stylized movies. Love Tarantino movies, as well as some of the old school fighting movies, so JW has always been right in my wheelhouse.

From a business perspective JW is interesting, grosses per chapter:

JW3. $171 mil

JW2. $92 mil

JW4. $76 mil and counting.

JW. $43 mil

Kind of the opposite of Taken

T1. $145 mil

T2. $139 mil

T3. $89 mil

Just finished watching 1 and 2. 2 was definitely worse than 1, but good mindless entertainment. JW likes the head shot.
