If you haven't seen John Wick (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OV3VGP0/), you're wrong. He's been training under Taran Butler's tutelage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpr8oqyjKIc
Makes millions by making movies for which he has to train with world renowned shooters and go through PILES of ammo with awesome gear and ranges.

I was surprised by how fast he seemed to move/shoot/transition.

When I had Jaden Smith as a protectee on Day the Earth Stood Still, I was shocked at how small Reeves is. He is obviously very athletic and adept at this stuff and takes the training seriously. Really good stuff.
It took me several viewings to convince myself the video wasn't on fast forward.

I'm just tickled pink that a gazillion people who yesterday thought that a Benelli was either a pasta or a cocktail have now seen what 3 Gun and practical shooting look like and think it looks pretty cool.
Kudos to Taran for this.

No joke. I suck and am probably more easily impressed than most here, but it looks to me like he can shoot. I also like that he appears to slow down just enough and look the gun into the holster. He's not wasting any time, but he clearly pauses just a little. Yay safety! I wonder what his USPSA classification is. :)
All is great but John Wick used HK P30. Stop cheating with a gamer gun and train as you fight.

For all we know, in JWII, the Russian baddies attack John at a 3 gun match.
I've always wanted a job that would allow me to train Combatives all day every day. Time for acting lessons.

Except everybody stops and asks if they'll get DQ'd if they load to shoot back, and they wait until the BGs break the 180 so they don't have to... :p

Diffentley doesn't jive with the video at Butlers place. Pistol handling is completely different and sloppy. Before/after hopefully.
BTW I'm a heavier set person....I conceal a full size firearm AIWB better then that deep concealment holster, looks like he has a elephant trunk down his pants with that gawd awful contraption.

I'd always thought that Keanu Reeves is a big, dumb goofball. Terrible actor.
Then, on a lark, I watched John Wick, and my opinion shifted----he's still a terrible actor in terms of portraying actual human emotions, but the action scenes in that movie were surprisingly well done.
But now, watching the YouTube of the training, Reeves seems like a big, dumb goofball all over again. Sorry, but the take-a-dump body positioning and all = FAIL.

I'm REALLY hoping that this is a "before" video and the videos of Reeves training with Taran Butler are the "after." I'll still see the movie either way. I was a big fan of the first one. It's just sad to see anyone receiving this kind of instruction, even if it's just for a movie.

Curious to see how many people are going to be buying those "Medina" holsters the one guy is peddling. So you've got to scrape the skin off of your knuckles to be able to conceal a pistol AIWB now? I liked the first John Wick, and will see the 2nd one eventually, but it looks even more over the top than the first.

What I like about John Wick is the whole story is essentially predicated on someone killing his dog.

John Wick: Chapter 2 does what a sequel should -- which in this case means doubling down on the non-stop, thrillingly choreographed action that made its predecessor so much fun.Sitting at 96% as of now. Kinda pissed that I scheduled my PRK for this weekend, hopefully I'll be healed up fast so I can catch it sooner rather than later.

If a person has not watched DBZ in its entirety they are missing out on an anime classic. Even DBGT was pretty good (to a point). The OVA's though are really were it's at, though they are hard to follow at times. Furthermore, you will see a lot of redundancy in other anime's which were originally in DBZ/DBGT.

Saw it today.
Action, slightly more than the first movie.
Hand to hand, way more.
Blade stuff,slightly more but whoever was the consultant really sucks.
Realism, none existent. Yes it's a movie, I know, but at four different points in the film he shot himself while shooting someone else.
As far as the FORTIS FORTUNA ADIUVIO, he most definitely lacks proper mindset and would most certainly die on the streetz.
Just to add: there were some things added which he did not do in the first movie which look cool but are completely stupid and pointless. Tacticool mag flips and random BJJ stuff added for pointless appeal to certain crowds.
On the bright side, Carl f burcherer watches make an appearance.

Im not spending $20 for a ticket to watch "Realistic Fundamentals of shooting from Panteo Productions, Hosted with Keanu Reeves"*.
*jokes aside ,Reeves actually hosted Side by Side, a damn good documentary about the industry war between digital vs film production. It's refreshingly bereft of Hollywood BS to boot.

But did you like it??
I loved it. I must have missed the shooting himself scenes and I thought while obviously fake and he would have died IRL, it still was able to successfully suspend disbelief during the movie and I absolutely loved it.
Best gun handling I have seen in a movie by far and it was glorious to behold.
That match saver shot gun reload kill though. Also, peancils.

I saw the new John Wick Chapter 2 last night, I really enjoyed the movie. It was pretty much a full house and the general reaction of the audience seemed to enjoy the show. I missed the first few minutes, but plan on watching it again.
As Voodoo Man says if is not realistic, but it sure was entertaining. A lot more shooting and action this time and it leaves the ending with no doubt that there will be a third movie.
If you liked the first movie, I would say that the second is just as good. Definitely better than most of the Hollywood productions of late.

I tried to embed, but it wouldn't let me set the start time code.
I didn't see four times he shot himself, but did notice two. Overall I really enjoyed it and so did my wife. Ya, I didn't care for the CAR system stuff, but come on guys, there is so much better gunhandling and fighting in this movie than in most that I am not going to nitpick too bad. The three gun vibe was heavy with his picks from the armorer. I wonder who went about setting that up?

There are several Youtube videos showing the training and weapons used in the second movie and some of the first. It looked like he trained with Taran and they worked on the guns. There is mention that he trained on gun handling and stunts for 4 months 8 hr days before filming. Like him or Hollywood or not it seems like they tried to get some things better than most.

Two where during bjj moves integrated with headshots, one was a body shot. Each one was a direct shot into his own leg or arm.
Fourth one was in the right scene before they fell into the Continental, he discharges his G26 into his own arm during the tug back and forth.

Let's not begin the useless task of comparing John Wick to reality. Among other matters, if IL Continentale were such a sacred safe zone why the hell didnt the Russian in Movie 1 move his son in as a long term resident ?
End of Movie. In Two- bulletproof suit? Really? Has no one besides Wick ever practiced shooting for the head?
Also EoM . But I don't care,because when I want realism I'll Netflix a documentary.

I thought both movies were badass. Bob Lee would approve of putting the hurt on dudes for killing your dog. If you want a realistic gun movie with this sort of plot it will be boring as hell. I am impressed with how much training he did to try and make it look fluid.
