John Wick-The Tao of Gun Fu--spoiler alert

[Roland of Gilead]

Watched "John Wick" tonight and liked the fighting with a pistol parts. I also found it entertaining that he went on no holds bar killing spree of the Russian Mafia, for killing his puppy. The reason the Russian mob invaded his home was there to steal his absolutely bad ass 1969 Mustang.

Harleyrider_50 and the other dog lovers like myself here will enjoy and appreciate the movie. Gun lovers can appreciate the movie for the awesome spectrum of nice guns. Including the $2500 SAI Glock.

Posted this in the self defense for the actual gun fighting part. This is a movie, that shows shooting from retention and using hands on self defence. Yes shooting from retention is not ideal....but often necessary.
I seen solid judo tosses, using a pistol to strike with and shooting, reloading the gun.

John Wick showed to us that a perfect Weaver stance is not the end all be all. As Bruce Lee said, you must be like water filling a vase, and adapt to the situation "fight" you're in, in that moment and adapt.

It is just a movie..but John Wick does have some solid techniques.

I liked it that the G26 was his backup gun.

So -
Did you count the head shots?

No, but I'm sure he had many double shots to the the
body...then head shots. And just a lot more of head shots just to be efficient ..so you went to redbox too?

I'm going to make a drinking game out of this movie! Take a shot for every face shot made, bet I'm getting pretty sauced!

That does sound fun...Ill take a shot.

That is not what I was thinking of at the time. My thought was very close combat with a gun on hand, and the guy you're wrestling has a gun or knife and there is more bad guys coming.


By the way please shoot me compared to cutting me up and stabbing me.

Watched it with my GF last night, good movie.

Watched it over the weekend. What a body count.

Favorite quote: "He's the one you send to kill the boogeyman" (or something like that...)

I love this movie.

I've been passing up watching this movie because Keanue was in it, but sounds like I need to give it a look.

I watched it and....I kind of liked it...People actually changed magazines and guns went empty....Apparently NYC gun laws are not very effective...I loved the hotel/club which makes A Saloon in the old west look like a east end Louisville daycare center....

On my schedule for Saturday.

Watched it last weekend, twice. I'm not a huge fan of Keanu either, but really it seemed like his inability to act worked for him in this movie. Good action sequences overall. Brutally efficient would be how'd I'd describe it.

I only got halfway through, thought the plot was weak. Maybe I need to revisit?

 

[Djestr]

Given that he was the "boogey man killer" those punks that stole his car should have been dead before it got that far...but that would have been a short film...

Just saw it about 20 mins ago, I liked it

 

[lizerdking]

I enjoyed the gun play, it was solid. Didn't seem movie made up, he took his time and aimed and made shots, had to reload, etc.

The wife left the room when they killed the puppy...



Edit: Woot! I made marksman

The wife left the room when they killed the puppy...

That was the only reason mine remained to watch.
She wanted retribution.
She typically doesn't care for violent films.
15 minutes of a puppy in a film was enough to get her hooked.

If you are looking for a movie with plot don't bother. If you can watch it to have fun and appreciate the good gunhandling and h2h then yes, you might want to.
