seems like so much fun to do this "work" (who doesn't want to be a handsome and rich action movie star doing fake movie fights and stunts based on cool, real moves?) and the end result looks pretty great. like this series. low on plot, heavy on action!

Very cool! I'm gonna watch and recommend that movie just out of sheer respect for all that training...

Imagine being some poor unlucky criminal trying to rob his house lol... in for a world of death. That shooting was very impressive.

Both are great flicks if you like barely motivated violence

The shooting was pretty much textbook 3 gun competition style.

For those unfamiliar with it look for YouTube videos under “three gun competition.”

It’s one of the fastest growing action sports in the US. A variety of categories and levels exist from very amateur to super pro. Frequently this can include obstacle like courses, rucking and the wearing of body armor.

Yeah - they leave me cold. Just endless shooting "bad guys" for 2 hours.

But such stylish shooting!

I appreciate Keanu's work ethic, but these 5 minutes of Bruce Lee from The Big Boss have more charisma, kung fu and star quality than John Wick 1 and 2 put together.

The Matrix was good despite Keanu and Fishburn's kung fu efforts, not because of them.

so true, but I still enjoyed their shitty moves, kind of like a guilty pleasure of a "bad" pop song.
