Keanu Reeves’ master assassin may have been left for almost dead at the end of the fourth John Wick film, but things are still alive and kicking in the franchise, at least retroactively.
Or, to quote The Continental: From the World of John Wick’s Mel Gibson’s manager of the “precious” hotel for killers in the rotten Big Apple of the 1970s: “Son of a bitch, where’s my f**kin’ shotgun?” With more than its fair share of Me Decade revolutionaries, rats (literally and figurative) and “fun fumes,” as Gibson’s feral Cormac exclaims, the Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward, and Shawn Simmons-co-created The Continental is primarily a throwback to the heroic bloodshed genre perfected by Ringo Lam and John Woo in the 1980s.
