killed almost 500 people, wounded countless others, and left a trail of absolute devastation across the globe. While he’s mostly dispatched his enemies using his ferociously efficient gun-fu fighting style, Keanu Reeves’ assassin has also offed adversaries in a variety of ingenious ways, including pencils to the neck and books to the face. From 2014’s “John Wick” to 2023’s “John Wick: Chapter 4,” we’ve seen the hitman lay waste to thugs using every form of weapon and using every type of physical combat. And to think, if losef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) had just left that poor puppy alone none of this would have happened.
As any fan will know, John Wick set out on his murderous rampage simply because the son of a Russian crime boss killed his Beagle puppy, Daisy. That puppy happened to have been given to the retired assassin by his deceased wife, Helen (Bridget Moynahan), who back in “John Wick” had recently died from a terminal disease. The opening moments of that film see John receiving the puppy and bonding with the little guy, before losef breaks into his home and puts the poor pooch down. This incident sparked the carnage-filled odyssey we now know as the “John Wick” quadrilogy — but it wasn’t the first time one of Reeves’ characters received a furry little friend from a terminally ill love interest.
