John Wick: Chapter 4 – What You Need To Know

John Wick returns! Personally, I can’t wait. If they keep up the standard of the first three I’d be happy to see this franchise running as long as the James Bond one!

Who is John Wick?

John Wick is (was) a retired hit man. He was an exceptionally good one. Liam Neeson thought he had a particular set of skills, but he was nothing compared to John Wick. John was happily retired and living with his wife. Unfortunately, she took ill and died. Just before she passed away she arranged for him to get a puppy to comfort him. Some dodgy Russian gangsters came around and took his car and killed the puppy. Then John Wick came out of retirement…

First Look Trailer

Cast

Keanu Reeves is back in the title role. Despite what I said earlier about this franchise going on as long as the Bond one, I can’t imagine anyone other than Keanu as the lead. Other returnees include Laurence Fishburne (The Bowery King), Ian McShane (Winston), and Lance Reddick (Charon).

Some newcomers that I’m looking forward to seeing are Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, and Clancy Brown all in, as yet, unknown roles.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

Characters, So Far, In John Wick 4

Well…John Wick, obviously.

The Bowery King is the head of a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes’ Baker Street Irregulars. Winston and Charon are, again, the manager and concierge, respectively, of the New York Continental Hotel; neutral ground for all the professional assassins passing through in search of a bed for the night. And, as I said earlier, there are still unknown roles.

John Wick’s Backstory

John Wick was a retired hitman. He was dragged back into the profession in the first film. The second and third films saw him getting a price on his head, which just got bigger. As a result, all the people he used to call colleagues now see him as a source of income.

Sequels?

John Wick 5 was, originally, going to be shot back to back with John Wick 4 (how very Matrix 2 and 3 of him!) but, well, COVID, etc. So there is a fifth outing in the pipeline. Keanu Reeves said he will carry on making sequels as long as the films are successful. So get out there and buy your tickets!
