A foreign media news report counted how many words John Wick, the protagonist in "John Wick 4", said: a total of 103 lines, containing only 380 words. It can be said: John Wick is indeed a man of few words.

Of course, John Wick has never talked much, but now it is less and less: "John Wick 1" is only 101 minutes long, and Wick said a total of 484 words. While "Quick Chase 4" lasted 169 minutes, his word volume dropped to 380 instead. The trailer of the film already contains 10% of Wick’s words in the entire film, making Wick seem to be quite talkative, but in fact he said more in the 2 and a half minutes of the trailer than in the first 25 minutes of the feature film. many.

There are fewer lines but more action scenes. This kind of "talk less and do more" is deliberately designed. John Wick 4 director Chad Stalski cut about half of Wick's lines from the original script. For example, discussing the rules of the duel with the villain played by Bill Skarsgard, Wick’s words in the script accounted for half of it. Later, most of his lines were deleted, and it became basically a one- or two-word response.

John Wick's longest line in the film is to Hiroyuki Sanada's Shimazu Koji: "You and I lost the good life a long time ago, my friend."
