In action-packed movies, the thrill of watching intense fights is heightened when filmmakers focus on precision. Devoted fans of these films have a keen eye for the intricate weapon and combat elements that add an extra layer of excitement to assassin movies.
1. John Uses Someone’s Chest To Muffle A Shot In ‘John Wick 3 – Parabellum’
In the movie John Wick 3: Parabellum (2019), there’s a scene where John Wick uses a shotgun. Redditor u/Bhouse77 pointed out that during this scene, John Wick places the barrel of the shotgun against an assassin’s chest. Interestingly, when John fires the gun, the sound of the blast is somewhat subdued or muffled.
2. John Reloads At Correct Times With Different Guns In ‘John Wick’
In the movie John Wick (2014), there’s a scene where he’s in a club shootout. Redditor u/rajagopal2001 noticed that he’s using a Heckler and Kolch P30L with a 15-round magazine. What’s even more impressive is that he reloads the gun after every 15 rounds fired.
3. Michael Uses A Metal Tray As Well As A Body To Make Sure He Isn’t Shot In ‘Hitman’s Bodyguard’
In the movie The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017), there’s a cool scene that caught my attention. Redditor u/BlackKnight6660 pointed out that Michael, one of the characters, strategically places a metal tray behind the guard he’s using as a shield. This clever move serves as an extra layer of protection. So, even if the bullets manage to penetrate the guard, they’ll probably be stopped by the metal tray. Talk about thinking on your feet!
4. In ‘Batman Begins,’ The League Of Shadows Have Very Specific Methods
In Batman Begins (2005), I really like how, in one scene, the League of Shadows opts for explosive pellets instead of a match or lighter when they burn down Wayne Manor. It’s a small but significant detail that sets them apart from Scarecrow and his gang.
5. During The Museum Shootout In ‘John Wick: Chapter 2,’ John Connects With Exactly Seven Shots
In John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), there’s this epic museum fight scene that caught my attention. Redditor u/Tcobli pointed out something pretty cool about it. During this intense moment, John Wick manages to hit his targets with precision using his trusty 1911 pistol. And get this, he connects exactly seven shots! That’s pretty impressive considering the standard magazine size of the gun.
6. The Bag Jason Carried His Weapons And Possessions In Is Hanging In Marie’s Store At The End Of ‘Bourne Identity’
Hey, I came across this interesting fact on Reddit. So, you know that movie The Bourne Identity from 2002? Well, in the last scene, Jason’s bag, the one he carries with him throughout the whole movie, is actually being used as a flower basket in Marie’s new store. How cool is that?
7. Jack Uses The Diner’s Salt Shaker To Break A Car Window In ‘Jack Reacher’
I came across a post by Redditor u/TastesGreatIceCold where they shared an interesting detail about Jack Reacher. Apparently, he used the salt shaker from a diner to break through the tempered glass window of his stalkers. How resourceful of him!
8. Black Mamba Is Accurately Still On The Bride’s List In ‘Kill Bill Vol. 2’
According to a former Redditor, there’s an interesting detail in the movie Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004). In the film, a character named Budd is poisoned and ultimately killed by a Black Mamba snake. What makes this noteworthy is the fact that Budd is the only member of their assassin organization who isn’t directly murdered by the main character, known as The Bride. It’s worth mentioning that The Bride’s codename within the organization is also Black Mamba. This adds an intriguing layer to the story, as it seems like her revenge has come full circle.
9. John Knew How Ineffective Bullets Were Underwater In ‘John Wick 3 – Parabellum’
In the movie John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019), there’s a scene where John Wick and his enemy end up falling into a pool. It’s pretty cool to see how Wick quickly moves about three feet away before his enemy starts shooting at him. Turns out, at this close range, the bullets don’t really do much damage underwater. And hey, this actually aligns with how your average pistol round behaves in water.
10. John Knows How To Properly Operate Multiple Handguns In ‘John Wick’
So, here’s the deal. In the movie John Wick (2014), there are a couple of scenes where our main man John is loading a fresh magazine into his Kimber 1911. But here’s the interesting part – both times, he does this thing called a press check. Why? Well, it’s because Kimbers have a bit of a reputation for jamming on that first bullet. So our boy John wants to make sure everything is cool before he starts busting caps.
Now, here’s where things get a little different. When John switches it up and goes for his Glock, he doesn’t bother with the press check. Why? Well, it’s simple – Glocks aren’t known for having that same jamming issue. So John just pops that magazine in and trusts that his Glock will do its thing without any hiccups.
So there you have it, folks. John Wick knows his guns and he knows how to handle them. Whether it’s a Kimber or a Glock, he’s got it all under control.
11. Jason Proves He Knows The Best Place To Hide Weapons In ‘The Bourne Identity’
According to a Redditor named u/TheMsDosNerd, there’s a scene in The Bourne Identity where it’s revealed that Jason has a good idea of where to find a gun. Later on, when Jason discovers some bullets at Eamon’s house, he manages to find the gun right away, without needing to search any further.
