![]() To be counted in this list, there had to be no question that the person in question was dead. Characters like Cassian (Common), Gianna D’Antonio (Claudia Gerini), and the large henchman who gets shot in both kneecaps in John Wick: Chapter 2 were excluded from the list because they either take their own lives or aren’t dead yet. Another example worth sharing: During the house attack in John Wick, John punches a henchman so hard that his neck snaps (if you’re curious to hear the crunching sound, it happens at the 51-second mark in this clip.)ģ. When Killa (Scott Adkins) is kicked off a platform and his fall is broken by his head in Chapter 4, the subtitles read “bones crunching” the four movies are good about letting the audience know when necks are snapped, which made the data collection a little easier. ![]() That’s bad news for the henchmen, but the CGI-blood spurts helped me a lot.Ģ. The good news is that each headshot is followed by blood spraying from the victim’s head. This man kills so many people so often-and often in dimly lit catacombs or nightclubs full of oddly undisturbed patrons-that you sometimes need to watch the movies at one-sixteenth or one-eighth speed to catch every single headshot. Finding and cataloging every single John Wick kill was a tricky job. Here’s how the data was collected and completed:ġ. In honor of the craft and care that went into killing 415 people across four films, we have carefully and thoughtfully compiled a list that ranks every single confirmed kill in the John Wick franchise. Also, it’s really cool to see Zaror survive longer than the combined time of the 200-plus henchmen who get shot in the head by Wick. Check out this moment from John Wick: Chapter 4, when he’s battling Marko Zaror (watch Fist of the Condor) it’s beautiful and inventive, and it showcases the skills of the two action icons. But when he’s not getting pummeled by Daniel Bernhardt or Donnie Yen, he’s stabbing Tiger Hu Chen in the eye or impaling Mark Dacascos with his own sword. Drawing inspiration from movies and video games like The Villainess, Enter the Dragon, Hard Boiled, Skyfall, and The Hong Kong Massacre, the team has placed Keanu Reeves in more than 30 action scenarios, in which he’s been hit by a Scott Adkins spin kick, shot by Heidi Moneymaker, and beaten up by bad guys from Yayan Ruhian to Cecep Arif Rahman. Perry, David Leitch, Darrin Prescott, Jonathan Eusebio, Heidi Moneymaker, Stephen Dunlevy, Koji Kawamoto, the 87eleven Action Design team, and about one-third of the world’s available stunt performers. John’s deadly four-film rampage was orchestrated by director Chad Stahelski and a group of stuntman royalty made up of J.J. But let’s be honest: The best thing about the new series is that it’s an excuse to think about John Wick again, more specifically the 415 confirmed kills he’s tallied up over the last nine years (in real time, of course, because, again, the entire John Wick narrative somehow spans less than a year). Peacock’s upcoming The Continental: From the World of John Wick won’t explore the new adventures of these lucky-to-still-be-alive henchmen instead it fills in some gaps in the lore and focuses on a young Winston Scott’s (Colin Woodell) rise to power in the 1970s. If they were smart enough to not attack Wick in a knife museum, there’s gonna be a corner office with their name on it-because most of their contemporaries now have a copy of an Aleksandr Afanasyev book wedged in their skull. While the world of John Wick and its High Tables, gold coins, and email blasts remain mysterious, the one thing that’s obvious is that the bodyguards and assassins who survived John Wick’s bloody, seven-to-eight month killing spree will have their pick of work when things get back to normal.
