Old-school gangster

Introduced the setting of blood deeds. In order to retreat, John signed a blood contract with Santino of the Mexican gang: this means that John must meet any requirements of Santino. Santino coveted his sister's position in High Table, took the bleeding contract, and forced John to kill her sister. After John succeeded, he threatened to avenge his sister and offered a reward for killing John. In the end, John naturally broke through the siege and killed his enemies, but he also broke the rules of the Continental Hotel, and once again became the target of being hunted down by a reward.

In the action scene, this movie introduces more even opponents for the protagonist, increasing the weight of unarmed combat. In addition to the blood contract, the setting also shows the old-fashioned way that the gang society uses telephones, typewriters, small blackboards, BP machines and other tools to operate, which is inefficient but elegant and charming. The Beggars even used Flying Pigeons to pass books, making it suspect that the screenwriter had read Chinese martial arts novels.

John Wick: Chapter 2 quotes

  • Sommelier: Good afternoon, Mr. Wick. It's been a long time.

    John Wick: I'd like a tasting.

    Sommelier: I know of your past fondness for the German varietals, but I can wholeheartedly endorse the new breed of Austrians. Glock .34 and .26. Recontoured grips. Flared magwell for easier reloads. And I know you'll appreciate the custom porting. What's next?

    John Wick: I need something robust. Precise.

    Sommelier: "Robust. Precise." AR-15, 11.5-inch. Compensated with an ion-bonded bolt carrier. Trijicon accupoint with 1-6 magnification.

    John Wick: Could you recommend anything for the end of the night? Something big, bold.

    Sommelier: May I suggest the Benelli M4? Custom bolt carrier release and charging handle. Textured grips, should your hands get... wet. An Italian classic.

    John Wick: Dessert?

    Sommelier: Dessert. The finest cutlery. All freshly stoned. Shall I have everything sent to your room?

    John Wick: Yes. Thank you.

    Sommelier: Excellent. Mr. Wick? Do enjoy your party.

  • Julius: I fail to recall the last time you were in Rome. And here I'd heard... you had retired.

    John Wick: I had.

    Julius: Then humor me with,uh... but one question. Sei qui per il Santo Padre?

    [translation: Are you here for the Pope?]

    John Wick: No.

    Julius: All right then.

    [Pulls out a key]

    Julius: One of our finest rooms.

    John Wick: Grazie.

    Julius: Enjoy your stay.
