The big question going into John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum was, given how blistering the action was in the previous films, how on earth was the team going to beat their own stratospheric standards? The answer for Chad Stahelski (Director) and his stunt team was simple: more, more, more!

In an era of seductively unreal digital effects, part of the John Wick ethos has been to entirely buck the trend. In John Wick's world, the thrills are primal and always based around practical, if high-wire, stunts. In this world, jump-cuts never interrupt a fight. Rather than zoom in to create illusions, the camera instead always pans out, the better to show the audience every precarious detail.
