How Keanu Reeves Learned To Shoot Guns For 'John Wick' | Movies Insider
Imagine breaking in too his house and hearing the beep of his timer
Imagine using "To" properly.
And right after the beep you hear Sam L Jackson go "Motherfuuuu..."
Omfg hahahahaha
Toss a grenade
Blue The Parrot Imagine being a dickhead. Oh wait you are one.
John Wick looked absolutely breathtaking on the big screen. Mad props for Keanu Reeves doing his own stunts and fight scenes. All I have is respect and admiration for him.
YOU'RE BREATHTAKING !
You two are aware this meme is dead by now
YOU'RE BREATHTAKING.
No contents haha
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Hot Pockets breathtaking?
_"Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading."_
I see you are man of culture as well...
i h8 u
ah, a man of culture
Nah, a pistol is really just a tool in an urgent emergency, like a life or death situation. I don't want to be left with 2 empty guns.
knife the watermelon
Guns...lotsa guns....
Love that matrix reference
😂 ikr!😊
Keanu Reeves didn't train to "look like" an expert marksman. He became an expert marksman. He still shoots for fun.
It turns out a lot of things look like what they are. The authenticity is part of what makes the Wick movies so great.
I wonder if he knows about jerry miculek??
@@snowboarder4700most likely
As if it's his first movie that he trained for either he's been doing that for thirty years or more he's shown at a gun range opening scene of point break why talk about him as if he is a novice think he shot no guns in The Matrix either? Wick is supposed to be a retired assassin so would be experienced like Keanu is too.
Tarin tactical trains people how to shoot like competition shooters. They still lack all the applicable combat tactics.
What are you talking about? John wick trained to be Keanu Reeves Edit: damn, it’s like ya’ll can’t take a joke
-_-
....
😔😔😔
no Reeves was trained to be John wickdonalds na jk wick
@@invalidcode45 is that supposed to be funny?
AR doesn’t stand for assault rifle, it stands for armalite rifle
I see someone that knows stuff
usually wouldve said something like "show off" but damn i actually never knew that and prolly 90% of ppl thinks its assualt rifle. thx for the info
It always kinda turns me off when they say that. Like you spent that much time with the pros and still got it wrong?🙎🏿
It's okay, they're from Hollywood, you pesky peasants.
one of my pet peaves is being just crying AsAuLt RiFlE when describing any gun they have no idea what they are talking about.
"to learn how to LOOK like an expert marksman" Keanu IS an expert marksman and it shows in this video.
“How keanu learned to look like an expert marksman “ at this point keanu is a expert marksman
this tbh, specially at 6:31
Is it real bullets?
@@Danny-or4gw yes
an expert marksman**
Why do you keep calling him Keanu? His name is Mr. Anderson
It is impossible to get tired of going to the range
Braxton Fryoux if I were as good as them I would never
Really is
@@Nediardeathcaske pay them enough and youll be John wick 4 End of the day :)
you get tired of the idiots who take "selfies" while holding a firearm
For real
Keanu is a national treasure. He's the gold standard of what the average American should aspire to be. The guy has more positive traits than I can even list accurately. We need more people like him.
Let’s not idolize him too much. Sounds like you’re falling in love with him and no, don’t idolize anyone. Certainly don’t call someone a national treasure and declare anyone average.
L comment @@carbon_no6
This is the type of training all Hollywood needs for action films! The action junkies aren’t buying or impressed with the troupes by now. All pros to Taran, Keanu and Halle for this.

Wow chill out man
In Football we believe In Football we believe Not being smart, but technically it’s canonical to the story that Marston was a slightly better shooter than Arthur.
EastCoastLifestyle idk who’s better they are both badasses
KIN9W0RTH RU1ned Agreed
4:23 Hey that's actually pretty quick there! Good job. One thing I was surprised about was that the instructors didn't say anything when he was firing with his neck craned, cheek raised well away from the stock, and shoulders back. Ain't a problem with the shooter - people new to shoulder-fired firearms tend to shoot it like that before they're taught otherwise. In fact, the first time I shot an AR with an optic I mounted the optic too far back and I was doing the same thing - cheek off the stock, neck back and shoulders forward. Range officer marched his ass over and asked me if I was trying to be a swan or ballerina or something and learned me that nose to charging handle was a good place to start. Need your cheek on the stock for three points of contact to get a stable platform, and you won't get a repeatable sight picture without it. Dude seems a natural, though...get him shooting with proper fundamentals and I bet he puts in work.
What a treat it would be to have these people teach you to shoot. Taran seems like a good instructor.

Greetings from Keanu Charles Reeves. It's been a pleasure talking to you. Where are you from?
Love to meet Keanu he seems like a nice dude. And he also seem very humble for a man in his position in social wealth.

I love the genuine smile of someone who's never shot a gun before seeing something cool on the range
“Assault rifle” it’s a 9 mm semi automatic sporting rifle
That depends on if you are a liberal or a 2nd A supporting conservative... just sayin'
More like a Pistol Caliber Carbine than a sporting rifle since it's a SIG Sauer MPX with 16" barrel.
I love seeing someone who's never shot a gun learn how fun it is. When he said "that was awesome!" I was thinking, "we got him!"

Use gun to fight gun,if gun don't work,use more gun
"and to do that you need guns, lots of guns." or pencils.
*LOTS* of pencils. Can you just imagine John Wick going to staples and saying that to a cashier? Lol
The way he stands is killing me
"learnt how to look like an expert marksman" he has a genuine interest in shooting and IS an expert marksman he doesn't just "look" like he knows what he's doing
This isn’t expert marksmanship, they’re huge targets and they’re close. I will give him credit though he has built up some skill but he’s got a long way to go.
@@islas357 ummm everything you post is from a bench, you don't have any room to post about shooting skills

I’m sorry but... *Shoots AR-15* “I’m gonna be shooting an assault rifle”
Y Tho its not an assault rifle or a ar 15 well its kinda but not really an ar 15 it uses a little of the style but its chambered in 9mm
It’s not even an AR, it’s an MPX.
Thomas Barlow And AR is “Armalite Rifle” which this isn’t. Well, it is quite similar to the AR18 but in 9mm. The MCX is quite like an AR18.
@@intolerances686 The only difference is the barrel and the bolt carrier group. Any AR15 can be chambered in a multitude of different calibers as long as the barrel and bolt carrier group allows for it.
Sommelier would describe the tasting, the robust, precise, the end of the night and desert weapons better.
Hollywood: People shouldn’t own guns Also Hollywood:
Hollywood said that?
Of course Hollywood said that. Alot of people in Hollywood would love to see guns taken away which is why they tend to endorse leftists. Not all people there are dumb enough to think that society would be better if we gave them up though.
@@jamesdorpinghaus3294 yep
@@jamesdorpinghaus3294 you do realize A LOT of leftists own guns, right?

@7:11 Taran just point shoots the remaining targets down… 🤯
That was fun to watch! Good stuff! 😎
You did not shoot an assault riffle, you shot a semi-automatic riffle
nathanlief just because it’s a semi auto that doesn’t mean that it can’t be a assault rifle, in fact most are semi and full auto
@@TheEggrollKing he shot a semi auto rifle - not a assault rifle. just had to throw that agenda in it real quick
Assault rifles are just a made up term made to sound scary
You mean fully semi-automatic, right?
No such thing as assault rifles, just assault people
I like how keanu literally learns a new skill for every movie he makes, for matrix he trained in martial arts and for john wick he learned to shoot
Love the homer reference at the end.
“Assault rifle” I didn’t expect any less from Insider 😂

Dayum. This was very fun vid. I didnt skip a single second. And i didnt feel like going to the comments.

“An assault rifle” begin internal screaming
Me watching from the beginning: ah this is good Host: "assault rifle" Me: aight, imma head out
Indeed.
u do know what ar means right
@@michaelpeden2794 Do you know what it means?
Well that is an assault rifle
@@michaelpeden2794 The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "Armalite Rifle",Armalite beeing the company that owns the patent for this specific design. Also,the rifle the host is shooting here,is NOT an "assault rifle",because it´s only a semi-auto rifle and can´t go full-auto. (semi-auto is one shot per trigger-pull,full-auto is "RATATATATATA".) A proper "assault rifle" has a switch for this,like the M-4 Carbine that the military uses. Generally speaking,"assault rifle" is a technically incorrect term,that comes from the german word "Sturmgewehr" (from "Sturm" as in " to storm/attack/assault" in german). The correct term should be "combat" or "battle" rifle. And no,you can´t easily buy and own a proper,full-auto "assault rifle",as a civilian, not without having to undergo a strict background-check by the ATF (and they take this VERY serious) and going up a tax category.
Scary part is Keanu could do all that movie shit in real life😳
he's not fat, he made his body like that to absorb every recoil
Thanks for the love, care and support It's a pleasure talking to you over here,, where are you from ?
Can’t get over the fact that he has his booger hook on the trigger 80% of the time before he’s ready to shoot.
The first scene that shows him he's just pulling the trigger three times. Maybe just bad editing but I can pretty much guarantee he didn't check it was clear.
