Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I like the series. Hopefully they can change things up for this one. No way I’m going to a theater though. I’ll wait. By the way. The Holiday Inn won’t accept these. They still want a credit card. IMG_6979.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 From what I read, more of the same, but well done. Reeves is a pretty good 3 gun shooter. No Halle Berry, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Just got back from the theater. It is long at almost three hours. When you go to a John Wick movie it is exactly like going to see one of The Expendables movies. You know exactly what to expect. Each movie gets more and more improbable. In this one he is hit by at least six cars, falls out a four story window and tumbles down the longest stairchase in Paris, some 272 steps. Yet he gets up and kicks butt and kills at least five hundred bad guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 It is a freaking movie. You pay to be entertained or not. No one even asks "are you not entertained?" and throws a sword at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 This is the gun he uses in a goodly portion of the movie. The Pit Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's a requirement of being Canadian to watch his movies, Bill Shatner's, Ryan Reynolds', Mike Fox's, Steth Rogan's, Dan George's, Dan Aykroyd's, Jim Carey's, Mike Meyers' and a whole lot more. If we don't, we could face internal deportation to Alert or Tuktoyaktuk, depending on the deemed seriousness of our crime.

Oak Ridge Regulator Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just read the specs on the pit viper. Lots of BS there are plenty of comp guns out there more tricked out than this gun and they don’t cost 7k and will shoot better, just goes to show looks aren’t everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 At least 50% of movie goers have no idea of what they’re looking at!! The more techno/tacticool it looks, the more convinced they are that it’s the gun and not the shooter!! It’s just like folks think about motor racing. “If I had his equipment and crew, with a little practice, I could run with any of ‘em!” And no amount of explanation will convince most of them otherwise! I LIKE the John Wick movies! Great fantasy entertainment!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LIKE the John Wick movies! Great fantasy entertainment!!! I refuse to watch those “making of” videos on how movies are made. They completely ruin movies for me. Years ago when I was in the Navy we had a guy in our division named Brown. You couldn’t watch any war movie or any western with this guy around. He was Mr Know-it-all when it came to guns and apparently the military strategies of all armies throughout the history of the world. It got to the point where we’d turn off the berthing compartment TV when he was around when SITE TV was playing movies in the evening. We were so stoked when this guy made E-6 and he hung out in the First Class Lounge. Movies are fantasy, for the most part. They’re an escape. If movies were reflective of real life, the second John Wick movie would have been about his return back to health after all the bodily damage he sustained in his first movie.

You have my sympathies. Looking forward to see John Wick 4. It is as believable as most other action movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in the army in Germany in ‘68, they had a pre- release showing of The Green Berets at the post theater. It was free and we were required to go. It’s a good thing Duke wasn’t there. He would not have been pleased at the laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy was one of the VC that stormed the fire base. They used his OCS class when they filmed at Benning. The class gave him a fancy Bowie knife as a gift.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I enjoy the John Wick movies. #3 a little less. Some people will never like a movie of this type. Really like how they threw in some of the 3 gun tecniques with rifles and shotguns. Everything I've seen about #4 is very favorable if you like these movies to start with.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 After the buildup of having Halle Berry in the third installment, I expected her to be onscreen more, and also return for fourth. What’s up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Liked the first one OK. 2nd. Not so much. Found the 3rd almost unwatchable. If the 4th one comes on free tv. I will see if I can make it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Unusual for a 4-quel movie, it grossed over $72 million on the first weekend. look for JW5. Hollywood just does not know when to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July Smith Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 In my opinion the first one was a perfect action movie. While obviously fantasy I like how the gun handling is semi-realistic with lots of reloads. Looking forward to seeing JW4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Wife & I just finished rewatching the first JW movie. I had forgotten the “Mayhem” actor from those insurance commercials was in it. He’s perfectly cast for the tv ads and is a lot like his movie character.
