It's not easy to shoot a moving target. Just by chance a bullet would have landed on his head. Plus the chick who ambushed him from behind when the bounty first went out, she couldn't have just shot him in the head? He was about 10 feet away.
shareTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! So what if his suit is bullit proof, his head is fair game. I had to stop rolling my eyes at all the times he would have been killed in the real world. My only reason for giving it a 7 was the commitment in creating an entire world here. Loved the telephone operators whose uniforms were cut off shirts and they all had tattoos, even the older ladies.
share..but this is not the real world lol.. this is a fantasy hit man action thriller.
- sure, in the real world, two people could shoot at him at the same time and kill him. but in john wick, everyone else is a horrible shot, like storm troopers lol..
but if you also notice, they did not have enough time to shoot him in the head, wick is quick! and always sees and hears them coming. When they were close to him, he would tackle them down, if they were at a far distance, he would dodge them.
..this is not supposed to be a realistic movie kids
...
Everyone is supposed to just automatically know his suit is bulletproof? It's a whole lot easier to shoot someone in the body as opposed to the head.
sharewas thinking the same thing. especially considering john wick shoots everyone in the head so it must be an assassin's training thing.
but I just kicked back and rolled with it.
In the heat of the moment the head would be a difficult target to hit. The body (i.e. the trunk) would be an easier target. That is why police are trained to aim at the trunk instead of the head (or so the story goes).

No because if they did then they couldn't set up yet another needless money grabbing sequel...

This was planned to be a trilogy from the beginning....they didn't just decide to make a sequel because the first movie did well.
shareWhile of course it is unrealistic....they did show John covering his face with his suit multiple times.
shareThere's something supernatural about John Wick. The Russians don't call him the Baba Yaga for nothing. Perhaps we will see this explored in the third chapter.
shareThat would have been a very *beep* film if John wick got killed right at the start .
Just my opinion though.
