The Most Memorable Scenes From the First 3 John Wick Movies
John Wick
There have been many memorable scenes from the John Wick series, with each movie upping the ante to create more outlandish action than the previous entry, featuring some ofthe best fightsin the series. Arguably the most memorable scene from the first John Wick movie is when the eponymous hitman showcases his particular set of brutal skills in the now iconic nightclub scene.
Wick is tracking down Viggo’s son, Iosef Tarasov (portrayed by Alfie Allen) as revenge for killing his dog, and kills a number of people who stand in his way in a visceral and violent showdown. There are stabbings, shootings and one on one combat that make this scene a memorable takeaway from the first movie. The scene ends with John Wick killing Iosef, setting up a final showdown with his father, Viggo.
John Wick: Chapter 2
The best scene inJohn Wick: Chapter 2is the battle that sees John Wick fight his way through a New York City subway station. Wick dispatches a bunch of assassins on route to the station, and embarks on a big fight with Cassian (portrayed by Common), who is on his tail because Wick killed the woman he was charged with protecting as her bodyguard.
They shoot at each other through a fountain, through a busy crowd of people, until the battle reaches a crescendo inside a moving subway.
John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum
John Wick: Chapter 3takes things to another level with some legendary action sequences and brutal kills. But the epic final battle at the Continental is probably the most memorable in the movie, and in the series as a whole. The Continental was always billed as the safe haven for assassins, but all the rules are broken in the third movie, when John Wick takes on his nemesis, Zero (played by Mark Dacascos) inside the famous hotel.
It’s great to see Charon (played by the late Lance Reddick) get an opportunity to showcase his action skills, as he backs up John Wick in the brutal fight scenes, and the sequence and movie ends with Winston’s non-fatal shooting of John Wick, giving him the opportunity to escape and set up the events ofJohn Wick Chapter 4.
