John Wick 4 Includes A Stealth Remake Of A 44-Year-Old Cult Classic Action Movie (That It Can’t Beat)

During one memorable sequence, John Wick 4 features a “stealth remake” of a 44-year-old, cult-classic action movie — one that still can’t be beat even four decades after its debut. Like its beloved predecessors, John Wick: Chapter 4 is a neo-noir action thriller that stars Keanu Reeves in the titular role. In the first film, Wick, who’s grieving the recent loss of his wife, is drawn back into the criminal underworld when mobsters murder his dog. In subsequent John Wick chapters, the revenge-driven hitman fulfills blood oaths and goes on the run after a steep bounty is placed on his head.
