Can Keanu do this?” and I’m like, ‘I hope so.’“
After listening to the ‘John Wick’ director Rogan was curious about the action part of the movie. Rogan asked, “Where did the magazine reload flip come from?” That’s when Stahelski mentioned that it is the idea of the lead actor, Keanu Reeves.
He mentioned, “Funny thing, I’m giving total credit to Keanu… 100 percent. He started doing that and I’m like ‘What are you doing’ He was like ‘I’m checking that, f*ck’ I give the credit to Keanu, I mean that’s awesome.” The UFC commentator was so impressed with the idea of the actor and said, “It is awesome. People do that thing, you know how crazy that is. An actor for a film decides to come up with a thing and it’s actually a quicker way to eject a magazine.“
