20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About John Wick

20. The Nightclub Action Setpiece Was A Last Minute And Daunting Affair

One of the main reasons behind Keanu Reeves' endearing nature is his dedication to nearly every role he takes on. Regardless of the movie or role's quality, the actor will immerse himself wholeheartedly into the proceedings.

One of the most impressive instances of this commitment to his craft was seen during one of John Wick's most memorable action setpieces. The Red Circle Club shootout sequence is a standout in the genre, and its complexity makes it all the more shocking that the Matrix actor learned and performed all the action beats on the day of filming.

This was confirmed as such by director Chad Stahelski on the film's DVD commentary (via Slash Film). The filmmaker also pointed out that Reeves took on the challenging task while suffering from a fever, which further lends credence to the claims of the actor's diligence in his work.
