John Wick: Chapter is a masterclass in action filmmaking—and its behind-the-scenes process is just as breathtaking as the final product.

Keanu Reeves: No Stunt Double, No Problem
Keanu trained for months in gun-fu, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and judo to perform most of his own stunts. He worked closely with renowned stunt choreographers and even trained at Taran Tactical to master firearm handling. His commitment added realism and fluidity to every scene.

Horse Chase Through NYC
One of the wildest stunts featured John Wick riding a horse through New York traffic. This wasn’t CGI—real horses were used, with complex rigging, safety prep, and city coordination to shoot these sequences without injury.
The Dogs Were Trained to Fight
Halle Berry’s character Sofia fights alongside two trained Belgian Malinois. Halle trained with the dogs for 6 months, forming a bond so strong that the dogs responded only to her commands. Every canine attack was carefully choreographed and rehearsed.

Motorcycle Sword Fight
Inspired by Korean action cinema, the motorcycle chase on a bridge required a custom rig with extensive green screen and real stunt riders using cables, rubber swords, and timing to avoid fatal collisions.

Director Chad Stahelski’s Vision
Former stuntman himself, Stahelski aimed for realism over digital trickery. He emphasized wide shots, long takes, and practical stunts to maintain the gritty tone of the franchise.
The behind-the-scenes of John Wick 3 isn’t just action—it’s a ballet of precision, dedication, and sheer cinematic craft.
