The Cameo: Jason Mantzoukas has a bit part as the Tick Tock Man, a servant of the Bowery King. Robin Lord Taylor as the High Table clerk who carries out the Adjudicator’s order to deconsecrate the New York Continental. Tiger Chen, choreographer of The Matrix and co-star of Man of Tai Chi, plays the assassin that gets a knife slowly pushed into his eye during the antique weapon museum fight. Boban Marjanović of NBA fame plays Ernest the library assassin. | |

The Purge: On a more minor level, the Adjudicator hires local assassins to assault The Director and The Bowery King's base of operations as punishment for assisting John. It's not a systematic cleansing, but a show of force letting them know who is in charge. | |

Heavily Armored Mook | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_1d364dbd | comment |
Heavily Armored Mooks: The High Table's elite troops wear advanced body armor that makes them virtually immune to John's normally devastating Gun Fu moves. Their only weak spot is the tiny gap between the collar and helmet, and even that only works at point-blank range. It ultimately requires 12-gauge steel slugs to punch through the armor with any degree of efficiency. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Given Winston only shot John's bullet proof suit when he betrayed John at the end of the film and mentions John's identity as the Baba Yaga after reassuring the Adjudicator "how far can he get?": Was Winston truly trying to kill John? Was John in on it? Winston gave John a marker in the last film. Killing the bearer of a marker gets you killed, as the last film discussed. So its highly likely Winston was not shooting to kill. | |

Black Comedy | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: To avoid persecution for helping an Excommunicado fugitive, the Doctor hands Wick a derringer and tells him to make it seem like he was forced at gunpoint. He asks Wick to hit him in two non-fatal areas, carefully instructing each shot so that they don't break anything vital, and both times, Wick just shoots anyway, nonchalantly interrupting the Doctor as he speaks. The knife shop fight is full of this, such as one mook just keep getting repeatedly stabbed by throwing knives like a human pincushion, everybody throwing knives at each other only for the knives to land on the blunt sides, and John Wick casually finishing off a downed, struggling enemy by chucking an axe into his head. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: Early in the film, a gangster John is appealing to get past demands that he empties his pockets, which he does. They then ask Wick to remove his belt, and treat the request as though it were a serious weapon. John, slightly confused by this otherwise odd request, complies with them, and then they let Wick past. Later on in the film, this gag is later put to use, as Wick uses his belt against two knife-wielding assassins. Doubles as Chekhov's Skill when immediately after giving up his belt we see assassins-in-training practicing Sambo in the school John trained in as a youth. Using his belt against the faster knife assassins later in the film gives John improvised sleeve and collar grips on his opponents from which to apply those Sambo throws and slow his opponents down. | |

Apathetic Citizens: Part of the overall tone of the franchise, people get killed violently in public settings and random pedestrians move on without noticing. It is downplayed compared to the previous films, as here most of the random citizens are assassins looking to kill John. | |

Guns Firing Underwater | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_2816d1ca | comment |
Guns Firing Underwater: John Wick and one of the High Table mooks fall into a pool, and Wick is smart enough to realize this trope is not a good idea. He pushes away as the mook fires, with the bullets falling harmlessly after only a few feet (which is Truth in Television). After the mook’s gun jams, Wick is forced to put the gun up to the mook’s neck to finish him. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: The Adjudicator, who notably lacks empathy, has a prominent neck tattoo: the word "einfühlung", which means "empathy" in German. The tattoo is actor Asia Kate Dillon's own, but it does make for some quality Irony mainly because that is one thing the Adjudicator is not known for. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: When a character usually speaks one language, but suddenly switches to another without any prior indication that he/she knows any other languages: Zero suddenly switches to grammatically correct Japanese when formally declaring his intention to kill John. (To the trained ear, it sounds slightly jarring/masticated due to actor Mark Dacascos' apparent inexperience with the language.) Winston switching to the Latin out of nowhere is an another example. | |

Worldbuilding | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_30ab0aa1 | comment |
Worldbuilding: John Wick: Chapter 3 continues to expand upon the lore of its universe by giving the audience a peek at the origins of the Continental assassins. Some assassins like John are implied to be orphans raised and trained by the Director or other criminal groups, the gold coins and markers are revealed to have been invented in Morocco (we saw Winston complement an engraver on his work in the second film, implying coins are now minted elsewhere), and the assassin network connected by the Continental Hotels and High Table is implied to be a modern incarnation of The Hashshashin. We also get some more information as to the value of the gold coins. Berrada explains that the value of the coin isn't exactly monetary, but more representative of a "favor" being cashed in from one person to another. This gives clarity as to how coins are used for things as cheap as buying a drink or a cab ride, to cleaning up bodies and purchasing custom bulletproof suits. This makes sense since the markers have been previously established as one person signing a contract with another for a future service, essentially trading favors much like the coins. The dialogue becomes much more stylized in this film, especially when characters are speaking in regards to the High Table, indicating that the society in which they live is very old and highly structured. | |

Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight: The firepower of the Director's and The Bowery King's goons is useless against the stealth and speed of dispatch provided by the short swords of Zero and his students.

Batman Gambit | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Winston is set to be removed as the operator of the Continental due to going lenient on John for executing a member of the High Table. Knowing John was given the option of killing him to prove his loyalty, he decides to refuse, which results in his Continental being "deconsecrated" and open for any assassin to conduct business. He then gives John the option of either killing him (preferable to die by a friend) or join him as he wages war against the High Table. With John on his side, they fend off the first wave of High Table blackguards, which Winston then uses as leverage to prove his strength and that trying to remove him would be more trouble than it's worth. With his commission reinstated, the only problem was that John is once again a loose end. | |

Thirsty Desert: The Elder apparently lives in one or uses it as a meeting point. He forces people that wish to speak to him to walk the desert until they collapse before he decides if he'll greet them. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Just like in the previous movie, a marker comes into play to force someone's assistance, and we have next to no idea what happened to engender the signature of said marker. The difference between Parabellum and Chapter 2 is John is the one owed a favor this time, for doing SOMETHING to save Sofia's daughter from retribution via The High Table to the point that Sofia doesn't know, nor can she afford to find out, where John stashed the girl. | |

Schizo Tech | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: The High Table and criminal underworld as a whole are all over the place with this. Despite their state-of-the-art armaments, notably armors sturdy enough to withstand small arms fire while remaining light and mobile, the High Table on an administrative level still operate using Commodore 64s, retro dial phones, and manual switchboards instead of more modern equipment, keep track of bounties on a chalk board and flip/slide phones are still widely-used in-universe despite the films being set during present day. Even their operators wear uniforms more suited to the '50s in spite of extensive tattoos and piercings. This is briefly addressed in the Bowery King's conversation with the Adjudicator about his carrier pigeon network: he points out that the fact that it's low tech means that it's impossible for anybody to trace or hack. | |

Bad Boss | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Zero, perhaps due to his fanboy status regarding John, has no real complaint with his students being killed off. In fact, should an ally try to get between him and John without his explicit consent, he would kill them without a second thought, as demonstrated against a High Table Elite Mook. | |

I Die Free | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_3cfeeb48 | comment |
I Die Free: The Adjudicator demands that the Bowery King to submit to the High Table but he refuses and goes down defiant as his kingdom is dismantled around him. He survives and teams up with John at the end to begin working on taking down the system. Played with. Winston seriously contemplates this when told to step down as owner of the Continental, and Wick is sent to kill him. Given his short speech, it's clear that Winston holds contempt against the Table and their ways, likening life bound to their rules to be nothing more than inescapable slavery. He would rather die at the hands of a friend, of course, and offers Wick his pistol to do the deed. Wick refuses, ultimately averting the trope by the end of the film. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Zero and his students versus any other assassin will result in a complete bloodbath for the latter, be it The Director's henchmen, the Bowery King's henchmen, or other assassins who are after John. John himself gets his ass kicked by most of the students and only wins because they are taking their time to enjoy it. The High Table's elite hit squads that are sent to secure the New York Continental wiped the floor with the Continental security guards, as they are much more heavily armed and wear almost impenetrable armors. The Continental security's small firearms and less durable suit armors are no match for their superior firepower. Only John and Charon managed to stand their ground against them, before curb-stomping the mooks in turn armed with shotguns loaded with armor-piercing slugs. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Keeping with the style of previous two movies In the armory fight scene, John and his opponents throw several knives at each other but many of them fail to land point first. In additions, the ones that do stick in don't penetrate very deep, so it takes multiple knife hits (or one directly to the head) to fully down an assassin. Bullets that aren't designed to be fired upon underwater wouldn't work like they are supposed to, as their lethality and velocity would drop drastically. In addition, guns are more likely to jam underwater since they can't eject bullet casings efficiently. John must shoot from no more than point-blank range to actually take down his enemies underwater. Both times someone goes up against someone larger, it takes some time to defeat them one on one. John only manages to beat the very tall Ernest with some improvised weaponry, and later on beats Zero's best students once he manages to separate the two, as he's at least a head taller than either. There are a few shots where Wick staggers heavily armored goons by shooting them in the mask and throat so he can close the distance and get a confirmed kill. The masks can block the bullet but it's like being pelted and the throat and other joints in any armored suit must necessarily be exposed to allow movement. Also during the fight even though shots to the head with standard bullets don't pierce the helmets they're still bullets and hit with more than enough force to stun and knock them flat on the ground. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: The Elder gave Wick two options regarding his Excommunicado status: to either refuse the offer and continue being hunted, or return to the fold by killing those who have stood against the Table, starting with Winston, and be granted amnesty along with passage back to the United States. It's a lose-lose situation either way, since the second option also forces Wick to spend the rest of his life as an assassin subservient to the Table itself, with no chance of freedom until death. Although it would seem like Wick was going for the latter, he ultimately took a third option. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The only thing keeping it from being a Downer Ending is the fact that John and the Bowery King are revealed to be alive after being seemingly killed, and have (possibly) teamed up. Other than that the Bowery King lost almost all of his henchmen and by the end of the film, John has lost a finger, is forced to give away his wedding ring, fallen off the roof of a building, been betrayed by his former friends, and the bounty on his head remains active and has jumped up to 20 million. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: The items John uses to call in favors are important to the Assassin hierarchy and as established in the previous film the recipients have to honor them. With John being excommunicated, however, any obligation they have to the rosary and marker are void and would no longer be enforced by the High Table. The Director and Sofia end up fulfilling them anyway to uphold their ends of the bargain rather than out of sympathy for John. | |

Worthy Opponent: John is regarded as such by Zero's final two students, who respectfully greet him and even let him recover so that the fight can continue. John repays their respect by letting them live once he's defeated them. John does not extend the same courtesy to Zero himself, who tries to play up the same courtesy, but John affirms his wounds are fatal. | |

Winston tells John that if he goes through it he'll never really be the man who Helen married as he'll be reinstated under the High Table. Then by the end of the film Winston offers that he be reinstated as the proprietor of the New York Continental and swears fealty to the High Table, and nonchalantly shoots John off of the rooftop they're on as "proof". The Bowery King admits he would have tossed Wick under the bus like that too. | |

This is also a bit of Irony, as, getting "lucky" in this film isn't the most lucky thing to happen. | |

Central Theme | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Choice and consequences. The majority of the film has John trying to get out of the consequences of murdering Santino at the end of the last film, only to realize he can't give up on his ability to choose when asked to become a tool of the High Table and kill Winston. As such, John's attempt to escape the consequences of his actions just puts him back exactly where he started: banned from the Continental with a massive bounty on his head as a consequence of his choice to embrace his worst impulses. Similarly, everyone who helped John during the last film suffers consequences at the hands of the High Table (with the exception of the doctor, who instead has John shoot him to hide the fact he helped John). Finally, the High Table's decision to throw their authority around causes various others to turn against them, including Sofia, and in the denouement the Bowery King, who joins forces with John to strike back at the Table. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: After Winston betrays John and shoots him off a rooftop, Wick is saved by the Bowery King, who is also incredibly pissed off at the High Table. Upon hearing the news, the Adjudicator informs Winston that Wick remains a threat and must be killed, though the hotel owner remains nonchalant about it. Two more subtle ones if you know the studio's plan for the franchise. During John's visit to the Director, the lone Ballerina on stage was given Chekhov's Gunman treatment, possibly setting up the spinoff The Ballerina. The Siege of the Continental and multiple visits to other Continentals also gave us a taste of what a Continentals series with Charon and Winston could be. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Zig-zagged with the common bulletproof suits. While they are quite good at stopping conventional handgun rounds, they do nothing to protect against knives and other sharp puncturing weapons, as demonstrated during the library fight between John and Ernest. Also, they only protect the parts of the body that they cover, which is not a lot. Averted with the High Table's enforcers, who are the only characters in the film to wear proper body armor and helmets instead of the standard bulletproof suits, and prove much more difficult to defeat as a result. Sofia's dogs also wear armor, which saves one's life when Berrada shoots it. | |

| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_71598ac8 | comment |
Internal Affairs: Basically the Adjudicator's job description in a nutshell, what with being sent to deal with serious infractions against the High Table's rules, tracking down the perpetrators and dispensing punishment according to what seems to be an internal penal code. However, what she really seems to be there to punish isn't John's obviously criminal behavior, but the various people in the Underworld being insufficiently deferential to the High Table. | |

Trauma Conga Line: The events of the three movies thus far have been this for John. First he goes through pain so horrible he gives up his well-earned peace to dig up his old weapons and go hunt down the one who hurt him, then his old friend stabs him in the back, then he gets jerked around by the high table and then Winston only to get stabbed in the back again and end up nearly dead in an alley. | |

Arc Words | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: Several characters repeat and comment upon the phrase "I have served. I will be of service", which appears to be an oath of loyalty among the Table and those who serve under it. This ultimately makes Winston's betrayal of Wick at the end of the film rather dubious, as while he claims to "have served", he doesn't complete the whole phrase, and instead goes on about how he's a valuable pillar of stability for New York City. The phrase "choices and consequences" also pops up quite a bit, mostly in relation to the fallout of John's actions at the end of the second movie and what path he wants to take now. The Adjudicator also reminds several people that they exist "under the Table." The first half of the movie follows John seeking an audience with "the One Above the Table" to clear him of his excommunicado status and allow him to live. Characters proclaim their loyalty to the High Table by pledging their "fealty". The Bowery King, notably, thinks it's a load of horseshit. Once again, "be seeing you" returns. | |

One of them, named Ernest, decides to cheat and attack him before the hour is over, so John spends the beginning of the movie fighting off assassins until he gets where he wanted to. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them! | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: The High Table considers killing a member of the Table in order to open a spot and join the Table to be acceptable, but killing one as a matter of principle and honor is not. They refuse to acknowledge blood debts, oaths, or family, and insist that service to the High Table is the only acceptable goal in the Underworld. The One Who Sits Above the Table is even less bound by the rules and agrees to lift John's Excommunication if he agrees to be of service for the rest of his life. | |

Winston's safe room in the Continental is similarly decked out with a wide variety of guns, Charon would make a fair sommelier the way he describes the make and model of the guns and caliber of bullets like he was describing wine. | |

Attack Its Weak Point: The High Table's enforcers are heavily armored from head to toe, and virtually immune to small arms fire. If one fighting them lacks armor-piercing weapons, the only place they can be shot at for a kill is in the neck. Even then, their enclosed helmets would need to be yanked open to expose this weak spot. | |

Denser and Wackier | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: While the previous films used dark humor and over the top action and mystical ritual elements when dealing with the dark underworld, the third entry dials everything up to eleven with a heavy dose of Black Comedy. The fight scenes switch between realistic gun combat to John killing foes with books, belts, and horses and rebuilding an entire gun from scratch. The underworld politics developed from shady dealings with mafia-like Omniscient Council of Vagueness to a full-blown Ancient Conspiracy controlling the underworld. This shift also introduced a lot of archaic rituals and customs like a oath of fealty, brandings, seeking guidance by pilgrimage or showing trust by eating a piece of poison fish. Likewise, "The one above the Table" requires people to perform rituals to meet him and gain his favor, dressed like a Sultan. However, much of these elements in this movie are also extensions of rituals and dark comedy from the earlier movies, such as the use of golden coins, the blood oaths of the Markers, and the surreal humor of John's public fights with assassins in New York. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: During the fight in the antique weapons museum, we see John lob several knives into an assassin's chest at close range, and later on during the climactic fight in the Continental he empties an entire pistol magazine into a helmeted foe's face in about one second. He also shoots another mook six times with a shotgun, with the final three shots occurring after the mook has also fallen over a railing to the floor below. Zero's band of knife wielders don't just settle for quick slashes to the throat, or a single fatal stab wound. No, they would rather cut ribbons out of their victims, and then some, followed by numerous stabs for good measure, as the Ruska Roman thugs and the Bowery King's men could attest to. The sheer ferocity of their attacks make Death by a Thousand Cuts an understatement. | |

Artistic License – Medicine | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: As described in this video (featuring trauma surgeon Dr. Annie Onishi), the surgery scene early in the film has two major issues: The Continental's doctor closes up the skin over John's "nicked artery", but he doesn't repair the arterial injury itself, essentially leaving the internal bleeding unaddressed. When the doctor asks John to shoot him non-fatally to make it look like he was coerced into providing treatment, he directs him to shoot him in the lower intestine and shoulder, both of which are highly problematic places to be shot. Damage to the lower intestine can easily be permanent, and often requires the use of a colostomy bag as part of the treatment. Meanwhile, the shoulder is home to a major artery that is notoriously difficult to seal up, leaving him at danger of quickly bleeding out. There is in fact no "safe" place to shoot someone and one can not know for sure if the bullet wounds will be survivable. Part of the problem is that medical textbooks showing the locations of veins, arteries, and nerves are guidelines, as they will grow on their own in slightly different locations, and where one person might have two arteries, another might have three. | |

Mook Chivalry | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_955aba87 | comment |
Mook Chivalry: Invoked here in the final act, to a degree. Zero's two apprentices ambush John just after he finishes a long killing spree in the Continental. They both make courteous greetings to express how honored they are to fight John, then they help him to his feet and allow him a moment to catch his breath before they properly start to fight. John returns the courtesy by not giving them the Coup de Grâce when they're lying helpless before him. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better: Because they're versatile. After finding their handguns are outmatched, John and Charon break out Benelli shotguns(John an M2, Charon an M4) loaded with steel slugs, which are practically anti-materiel weapons at indoor ranges and cut through the High Table soldiers' high-grade body armor like it's tissue paper. | |

Big Bad: The Adjudicator, who acts as the main enforcer of the High Table, serves as the primary antagonistic force of the film, although even the Adjudicator is shown more a symptom of a larger situation (Wick having broken the rules and having the entire world on his trail) than an actual Big Bad. | |

Made of Iron: Taken to a new level. John takes a lot of punishment over the course of the film, and he starts off with an artery in his shoulder getting nicked. A lot of fighting, being hit by cars, all on top of still suffering injuries from the previous films (all of which has happened over the course of a single week). Even in the climax, John falls off the roof of the Continental and lands hard but despite growing injuries and bloody face he is still alive. | |

One-Man Army: John Wick once again single-handedly kills dozens of other assassins and mercenaries over the course of the film. Sofia establishes herself to be a One-Woman Army in the Casablanca fight scene, using a nearly identical fighting style to John. Though we don't get to see it that often on screen, Charon is this as well, capable of taking down High Table's heavily armored Elite Mooks with his own strength without John's help! | |

Bullet Proof Human Shield: During the shoot out at the New York Continental, John briefly grapples and maneuvers one of the Heavily Armored Mooks in front of him as a shield, though it proves slightly redundant when he successfully kills the remaining henchman without letting him actually get a shot off. In this case, the bulletproof part is fully justified by the high grade body armor they're all wearing. | |

John Wick: Chapter 3 continues to expand upon the lore of its universe by giving the audience a peek at the origins of the Continental assassins. Some assassins like John are implied to be orphans raised and trained by the Director or other criminal groups, the gold coins and markers are revealed to have been invented in Morocco (we saw Winston complement an engraver on his work in the second film, implying coins are now minted elsewhere), and the assassin network connected by the Continental Hotels and High Table is implied to be a modern incarnation of The Hashshashin. | |

Cool Guns | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_bb040b01 | comment |
Cool Guns: As per series tradition, Parabellum features many tricked-out firearms by Taran Tactical Innovations, the same company who provided the modified Glocks and AR-15 used in Chapter Two. The most notable packages this time are Sofia's Glock 19, the TTI STI 2011 Combat Master used by Wick during the Continental siege, and the modified Benelli M2s that he and Charon use to defeat the High Table soldiers' body armor. Winston himself possesses a rather ornate Colt Hammerless that doubles as a Chekhov's Gun. | |

Car Fu: Wisely, some Italians decide to soften John up by hitting him with a car. Then by hitting him with a second car. Then, unwisely, they get out of their cars. Shortly thereafter, John uses a variant when he maneuvers a horse into knocking someone down, then into kicking him when he gets back up. Seriously. Horse Fu. It may be different but it works | |

Gun Fu | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_c31adf6a | comment |
The first film was dominantly about Gun Fu mixed with some grappling and a mild car chase at the end due to the budget. The second film escalated everything from the first film, having roughly twice the body count and bigger set pieces. This film has about twice the body count from the second film, and throws in a horse chase, motorcycle chase, attack dogs, and significantly more bladed weapons into the mix. | |

Boom, Headshot! | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_c3585f4a | comment |
Boom, Headshot!: It's a John Wick movie. Taken to new heights in the finale when to fight the High Table's Elite Mooks, John has to shoot each one multiple times in the neck due to bullet-resistant helmets and body armor, which he usually prefaces with some rounds to the body and head to knock them off-balance and keep them disoriented until he can get in close to assure a killing shot. He and Charon eventually resort to shotguns loaded with armor-piercing slug rounds that quite literally blow up people's heads. | |

Squee: This is how Zero and his students react in the presence of the Baba Yaga himself. They consider him to be their greatest idol, even as they're trying to slice his throat open with their knives. Zero takes this a step further by attempting to one-up his personal hero, although Wick doesn't return the sentiment. | |

ZigZagged | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_c3db1619 | comment |
Zig-Zagged when it comes to the High Table emissaries in the climax. Sometimes they're shown falling over winded and in pain because while their armor stops bullet penetration, they're still getting hit multiple times by projectiles flying at thousands of feet per second. Other times, they're completely implacable and stoically walking through hails of bullets. Armor-piercing pistol bullets don't have very much stopping power (they still have to fit in a handgun mag, limiting their size), and the Sig Sauer MPX carbine John uses is not a great improvement. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Though not explicitly stated to be supernatural, the amount of mystical ritual in the setting, particularly surrounding the Elder as well as the sheer obliviousness of the civilians, implies something weird might be going on. It's not enough to be clear that there is something magical about the criminal and assassin underworld, but there's just enough to make everything feel off. The previous movies were more subtle about the transition between the "normal" world and the criminal underworld, but this installment in the series is far more blatant in how John and the other assassins seem to exist in a completely different world. | |

Serial Escalation: In the first film, John Wick had a bounty of 2 million dollars (4 if you break Continental rules), in the second a bounty of 7. By the beginning of the third, his bounty is numbering somewhere along 14 million. By the end of the film, it seems to have shot up to upwards of 20 million dollars. The first film was dominantly about Gun Fu mixed with some grappling and a mild car chase at the end due to the budget. The second film escalated everything from the first film, having roughly twice the body count and bigger set pieces.

Two more subtle ones if you know the studio's plan for the franchise. During John's visit to the Director, the lone Ballerina on stage was given Chekhov's Gunman treatment, possibly setting up the spinoff The Ballerina. The Siege of the Continental and multiple visits to other Continentals also gave us a taste of what a Continentals series with Charon and Winston could be. | |

History Repeats | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_e003c829 | comment |
History Repeats: At one point, a high-powered criminal, who’s allowed a trusted - and extremely lethal - assassin to retire, ends up shooting that same assassin’s dog. It didn’t work out well for Viggo and Iosef, and it doesn’t go well for Sofia’s boss either, though he didn't die. Like his mentor Marcus before him, John is ordered to kill a close friend of his, with the penalty for refusing being death, and like Marcus, John refused to do so, which leads to those he crossed coming after him once again. The similarities end there, however, as unlike Marcus, John ultimately survives. | |

Beat | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_e5406b1b | comment |
Beat: John and two unnamed mooks in Casablanca pause when they're tangled together and realize they've all run out of ammo at the same time. After throwing John through several glass cases, Zero's Co-Dragons pause as if realizing how absurd the situation is before throwing him through another one. During the armory fight, John and the assassin share a moment when they realize they're standing between cases stuffed with antique knives. | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_e54f93d5 | comment |
Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight: To keep the dramatic tension and of course to show off just how good he is, John regularly fights superiorly armed opponents, often with objects that aren't weapons at all. As stated in the Improbable Weapon User entry, the assassins after John bring a knife to a bookfight, swords to a beltfight, and guns to a horsefight, and are promptly defeated. | |

Truce Zone | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_e5507f60 | comment |
Truce Zone: The Continental, as always. Despite John's excommunication, Sofia uses her position as manager of the Casablanca Continental to make sure this status is still extended to him. During the climax, the Adjudicator deconsecrates the New York Continental, revoking this status so that their and Zero's men can try to kill John and Winston on its grounds. This is undone after Winston turns on John and reaffirms his fealty to the High Table. | |

Exact Words: The oath of fealty to the High Table goes "I have served. I will be of service". Winston's oath at the end of the movie states that he has served, but he does not say "I will be of service". Instead he says the following, quoted below. Time will tell if the omission is significant. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. Averted! Near the end of the film two of Zero's mooks show courtesy and respect to John Wick, giving him time to recover when they could have easily killed him outright. The pair also treat their duel to the death with Wick as some sort of high-stakes sparring match. As such, when John finally defeats them, he shows them the same courtesy and lets them live. For having aided John in his hunt for Santino in the previous film, the Bowery King is punished by having his organization destroyed and sliced seven times with a sword (once for each bullet he provided John). Likewise, the New York Continental is deconsecrated for having having given John an hour's grace. The Ruska Roma are also punished for aiding John. The Director gets stabbed through the hands and, as we'll learn later, another leader of the Roma in Germany is killed off screen. | |

Consummate Professional: As part of the John Wick universe, this continues although downplayed in a few instances. Charon, as usual, is unfailingly polite and well mannered but when an Adjudicator from the High Table arrives even he hesitates for a response. The assassin Zero puts on a show of professionalism when hunting John, but when having to keep to the rules of The Continental he confesses he is actually a huge fan of John Wick and is pleased the fight wasn't too easy. | |

Unrated Edition: In Australia, John Wick killing a mook by slowly driving a knife into his eye was censored by zooming in the shot to push the gory detail off-screen. Like the UK theatrical version of Chapter 2, this edit was done in order to ensure the film obtained an MA 15+ rating. The 4K UHD release of the film was uncensored, and released with an R 18+ rating. | |

Enemy Civil War: Despite holding to John's Excommunicado decree made in the previous film, the High Table sends an Adjudicator who proceeds to contact every organization that assisted John Wick at one point. Winston specifically was removed as head of the New York Continental, all the intention of reaffirming their absolute power. None of them are particularly happy about being harassed, with both Winston and the Bowery King deciding to go down fighting. Winston appears to negotiate a new deal, while the Bowery King is set to strike at the High Table personally. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect?: The Bowery King created an army, just as invisible and capable as the well respected assassins of the High Table and the Continental, from nothing and he's punished nearly fatally for not showing due respect while being shown none in return. Where the more respectable members of the Underworld are punished for helping John after he's declared excommunicate, BK is punished for helping him go after Santino beforehand, because Santino had become a member of the High Table. BK ends the film alive and pissed off. | |

DeathByAThousandCuts | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_fe30beaa | comment |
Zero's band of knife wielders don't just settle for quick slashes to the throat, or a single fatal stab wound. No, they would rather cut ribbons out of their victims, and then some, followed by numerous stabs for good measure, as the Ruska Roman thugs and the Bowery King's men could attest to. The sheer ferocity of their attacks make Death by a Thousand Cuts an understatement. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: The first thing John does is use his last Continental coin to ensure his dog is taken care of and out of harm's way. What's more is that even after his excommunication, the Continental respects his request, and the dog makes it through the film safe and sound. Zero and his students, in spite of being some of the deadliest killers seen in the series yet, are pretty affable and highly respectful towards John. When the two finally catch a break and don't have to go for each other's throats anymore, Zero drops his stone-cold assassin demeanor and devolves into an absolute fanboy who tries to bond with John over their love for their pets. The two Shinobi who fight John equally respect him and even help him up to ensure they have a fair fight, with the two agreeing that they should cut him some slack due to being retired for five years. When Zero and his men walk onstage while her dancers are rehearsing, the Director panics and immediately orders all the children out of the theater for their own safety. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Zig-Zagged when it comes to the High Table emissaries in the climax. Sometimes they're shown falling over winded and in pain because while their armor stops bullet penetration, they're still getting hit multiple times by projectiles flying at thousands of feet per second. Other times, they're completely implacable and stoically walking through hails of bullets. Armor-piercing pistol bullets don't have very much stopping power (they still have to fit in a handgun mag, limiting their size), and the Sig Sauer MPX carbine John uses is not a great improvement. Played straight with the Doc asking John to shoot him. He pulls his shirt aside so the bullets won't carry any cloth into the wounds, decreasing the possibility of infection or sepsis. Museum guns do have one or more intentional defects to prevent them from firing, including a blocked barrel, a blocked or incorrect cylinder, or a pinless hammer. Which defects are on which gun depends on the maker, and if the sum of the good parts adds up to a functional gun, it would indeed be possible for John to refit them into a functional armament. | |
