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.
shareWell, the same holds true for the first movie. And he wasn't even wearing a bulletproof suit in that one.
Anyway, youtube's "Everything Wrong with John Wick" pretty much asks the same question.
You could clearly see John using his jacket as a shield to protect his head multiple times throughout this movie.
shareYou could say this same thing with most action movies.
For example in Indiana Jones. Why do they need to chase him? They could simply stop their trucks and shoot him.
It's a movie.
What is he supposed to do? Wear a helmet to hide his face? If he did that you'd be squawking that he doesn't do his own stunts!
"I used to know things. Now I have to remember them."
And John McClane never would have made it through the first Die Hard, in real life.
What's your point?
Yeah... I wonder how Jason Bourne survived 4 movies without being dead too eh? It's a movie folks, an action movie at that.
shareYou must not realise who John Wick is. He once killed 3 men in a bar... with a pen.
