* FollowTheLeader: The success of ''John Wick'' has inspired a whole sub-genre of films that take from its neo-noir tone and gritty, stunt-focused action emphasizing long takes to show off the actors' physicality and extensive training. Some of these films such as ''Film/AtomicBlonde'' and ''Film/{{Nobody}}'' are even marketed as coming from some of the creators of the ''John Wick'' series.

* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: Chad Stahelski and David Leitch were stuntmen and stunt coordinators for ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' films, they were excited about the script and once Creator/KeanuReeves joined they got the go-ahead to make the movie. It subsequently served as a comparable renaissance of cinematic action films, but focusing more on athletic stunt work over the heightened visualization.

* DoingItForTheArt:
** Creator/KeanuReeves was so enthusiastic about this project that he dedicated four full months to training in martial arts, firearms, and stunt driving in order to do as much of the action himself. He was also the one who pushed the directors to take this project because he felt that this was the movie that would give them their big break.
*** The scenes in the Red Circle were filmed while he was sick with the flu. According to the commentary, the directors couldn't even get him to sit down between takes.
** The directors and stunt team responsible for this film initially made a name for themselves because they didn't merely show up to do whatever stunt they were told to do, but would study scripts and prepare and stage action sequences that would add to the story before pitching them to directors. This dedication led them to become one of the premiere [=2nd=] unit teams in Hollywood and got them their shot at running a [=1st=] unit with this film.
** The decision to set the film in New York City and also to shoot there was this. Filming in the city was very expensive for a cash-strapped project, but the filmmakers insisted that New York was the only place the film's [[TheMasquerade Masquerade]] setting would make sense.
