The Action-Packed World of John Wick: From Death Count T-Shirts to Nunchuck Practice.
TL;DR
The climactic fight scene in "John Wick: Chapter 4" takes place on 222 steps leading up to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Paris. Keanu Reeves's assassin character must defeat a gauntlet of enemies to reach the top, only to be sent plummeting back down in full slapstick fashion. The scene was inspired by a spaghetti western and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amélie." The shoot took place over seven nights and involved 35 stunt people, with Reeves performing most of the stunts himself. The scene is a mix of Wick's regular "gun fu," judo, and jujitsu.
