The John Wick franchise puts its titular anti-hero through as much pain as any action movie protagonist has ever endured. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) first arrived on the world’s radar with his eponymous 2014 sleeper hit, which launched the ongoing John Wick franchise. The popularity of the John Wick movies has also been seen as a major turning point in action movies.
With the John Wick franchise’s emphasis on stunt work, “gun-fu,” and martial arts, Keanu Reeves’ legendary assassin has battled his way through innumerable adversaries while surviving countless seemingly impossible situations. However, like all action movies, the John Wick franchise bends the rules of reality a bit with what is survivable for a human. At the same time, the series has also spared John himself none of the pain of the injuries he encounters along the way.
Here are 10 John Wick injuries, ranked in order of pure pain. 10) John Gets Attacked by Iosef’s Gang – John Wick The Baba Yaga’s revenge mission in the first John Wick famously begins after the killing of his dog by the ruthless Iosef (Alfie Allen) and his gang, but John himself doesn’t escape the situation unscathed. John isn’t able to fight off the attackers and save his dog due to one of them clocking him in the back of the head with an aluminum bat, followed by John being struck in the arm before being kicked and punched into submission.
While it’s a relatively tame beating by R-rated action movie standards, it still puts Jo.
