With all theJohn Wickfilms boasting an incredible amount of dangerous stunts, it’s no surprise that the latest sequel ups the ante.John Wick4certainly has plenty of stunts across its nearly three-hour runtime to make every minute worthwhile.
8Nunchuck Violence
The Continental Hotel in Osaka has plenty of weapons of Japanese culture, and of course, it wouldn’t be aJohn Wickmovie if the titular character didn’t utilize that. It’s thrilling to see the gun-fu audiences usually watch, integrated with weapons like nunchucks. It’s a true first time for the franchise fueled byviolence in the underworld.

The choreography of these fight scenes is like no other. The sheer work and stress of perfectly using the nunchucks couldn’t have been easy, but it certainly is rewarding for fans to see John Wick clobber his way through the Continental with a pair of nunchucks.
7A Clash Of Swords
In one of the more intense and quiet moments of the film, audiences watch as Caine and Shimazu battle with blades, fighting each other due to their sense of commitment and the consequences of the lives they lead. It’s great to see twolegends of the craft, battling it out with swords rather than guns.
The scene alone is intense, and it’s nerve-wracking not knowing who will come out on top. The excitement is elevated due to the choreography and stuntwork involved, which will have audiences across the world thankful that they aren’t being hunted by a blind man with a bladed walking stick.
6Nightclub Rumble
One of the most mayhem-fueled fights inJohn Wick4involves John in a nightclub, battling hoards of guards and the head of the Germanfaction of the High Table, Killa. The cinematography for this fight is stunning, with a clash of neon lights, plenty of bodies, and intense music. However, what shines is the fight sequence between John Wick and Killa.

Within this sequence, John Wick is thrown around like a puppet, launched upwards and slammed down, and even thrown off of staircases and ledges. It’s a powerhouse of a fight and one that could have caused serious injury to characters and artists alike.
5The Tracker’s Canine Companion
One of the more fun stunts inJohn Wick4doesn’t involve a person, but a dog. The Tracker has a canine companion, a dog that, although unnamed, features just as prominently as “Mr. Nobody.” The Tracker’s dog is a lot of fun, and goes out of their way to attack command, with a signature move of biting groins at the mention of “Nuts.”Charon would be proudof this good dog.
There must have been a lot of stunt work inJohn Wick 4to work with an animal like this, and hopefully, plenty of protections were in place for the talented dog that leaps over cars and people, and bites plenty of crotches.
4Jumping Out A Window
The adrenalinenever stops in theJohn Wickfilms, and the titular character can’t seem to land on his feet. InJohn Wick Chapter 3, John is shot off of a rooftop and crashes down into staircases and air conditioning units as he tumbles down. This time, he isn’t shot off a roof, but leaps through a window.
John falls from a decent height, landing on a van and then on the ground. It’s a moment that will have audiences gasping for the suddenness of it all, and the hope that John Wick hasn’t broken his back, despite the numerous times he should have at this point.
3Hotline Paris
John Wick’s bounty continues to increase throughout the night, and as the time for him to reach his duel approaches, the clock is ticking for both his life and themoney on his head. In this intense and exhilarating scene, John Wick fights a seemingly infinite number of men with guns in an abandoned building.

What’s most unique about this scene is how it is shot as if it is one seamless take, with no cuts throughout. The camera work makes it a birds-eye-view, which is reminiscent of the combat and gameplay ofHotline Miami.The stuntwork involves people on fire, flying bodies, and plenty of fighting. It must have been extremely hard to pull off, and that hard work shows.
John Wick loves muscle cars, and he gets to reunite with one during his time in Paris. Although this moment couldn’t have been fun, as it was a fight for his life, at least the action is a lot of fun for the audience. John Wick enters a muscle car with no windshield or doors and has to pull off stunts like the reverse-180s and even pick up a gun off the road whilst driving.
It’s incredible to see the realism involved.John is fueled by hateas he drives this muscle car around the Arc de Triomphe, an extremely busy vehicle road with twelve avenues. Cars constantly circle the location whilst John Wick does battle in and around it.
1Stairway To Freedom
To secure a chance at his freedom, John must reach the Parisian church by dawn. The clock is ticking. More enemies make themselves present, and a seemingly infinite flight of stairs blocks his path forward. It’s not going to be an easy climb, and with less than 10 minutes to spare, time is of the essence.
The entire sequence is a frenzy of violence, with John repeatedly reaching near the top, only to be thrown down, and uncontrollably roll down the stairs to the bottom. There’s some hilarity to the scene, but the growing stakes add to the stress and emotion.
