The Action-Packed World of John Wick: From Death Count T-Shirts to Nunchuck Practice.

The climactic fight scene in "John Wick: Chapter 4" takes place on 222 steps leading up to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Paris. Keanu Reeves's assassin character must defeat a gauntlet of enemies to reach the top, only to be sent plummeting back down in full slapstick fashion. The scene was inspired by a spaghetti western and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amélie." The shoot took place over seven nights and involved 35 stunt people, with Reeves performing most of the stunts himself. The scene is a mix of Wick's regular "gun fu," judo, and jujitsu.

Insights from the Cast and Director of 'John Wick: Chapter 4'

The ending of John Wick: Chapter 4 sees the titular character seemingly die, with director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves revealing that the reason for making the film was to explore the theme of death. While the filmmakers seem firm that John Wick is deceased, the editing of the final moments leaves some vagueness, potentially leaving room for a return.

"Shamier Anderson's Surprise Appearance in John Wick 4 Leaves Fans in Awe"

Shamier Anderson, who plays the Tracker in John Wick: Chapter 4, brings his knowledge of Wing Chun and weapons training to the franchise known for its vicious fight scenes. Anderson's character is an odd man out among the community of international assassins, and he revels in his outsider-dom. Anderson collaborated with the wardrobe team to create the Tracker's cargo-pants-and-beanie outfit and mapped out a lifetime of backstory for the character. The Tracker's nameless, trusty canine companion, a Belgian Malinois, carries the torch in a long line of John Wick canines meant to exemplify loving loyalty in a world of contract kills and backstabbing.

The film features 14 action sequences, including a fight in the middle of the traffic circle around the Arc de Triomphe and a drone capturing a complicated set piece in a building involving what is being called a dragon’s breath shotgun.

'John Wick: Chapter 4' hailed as the best action blockbuster of the year.

'John Wick: Chapter 4' is an epic of excess, testing the limits of its own formula with a running time of 169 minutes. While the plot revolves around the excommunication of Winston Scott and the goal to kill John Wick, the movie leans into the comic incongruity of the material. The final 45 minutes are a bravura attempt to top everything that came before, with sequences that feel bound for the pantheon. While the bloat around its edges is forgiven any time it's flexing its muscles in the arena of visceral, graceful, astonishingly blocked violence, it might behoove all involved to cut a little of that fat and cut to the chase.
