Joe Rogan engages in a discussion about the "mind-blowing" concept put forth by Keanu Reeves.
In the 1995th episode of JRE, Stahelski fervently discussed the collaborative effort behind every action sequence in the film. He also shared insights into Keanu Reeves' contribution, specifically highlighting the gun magazine maneuver. Reflecting on the creative process, the director recalled a preliminary demonstration conducted during their initial series in Los Angeles, exclaiming, "We showcased it and thought, 'Wow, this is incredible! Can Keanu pull this off?' and I replied, 'I sure hope so!'"
Intrigued by the action-packed elements of the movie 'John Wick' after conversing with its director, Rogan's curiosity piqued, prompting him to inquire, "Where did the magazine reload flip originate from?" It was then that Stahelski revealed that the concept was actually conceived by the film's lead actor, Keanu Reeves.
Stahelski amusingly revealed, "The funny thing is, I give complete credit to Keanu… 100 percent. He just started doing it, and I was like, 'What are you doing?' And he goes, 'I'm checking it, man.' I have to give credit to Keanu because it's awesome." The UFC commentator was thoroughly impressed by the actor's idea and exclaimed, "It's incredible! Think about it, how crazy is that? An actor in a movie comes up with a technique, and it turns out to be a faster way to eject a magazine."
From their discussion, it is evident that Rogan is an ardent enthusiast of action-thriller movies. However, wasn't he critical of this particular film in the past?
