* In a non-action one, the very first scene: John Wick bloodily punches a makiwara while The Bowery King dramatically quotes the poem written at the entrance of the gates of Hell in Dante's ''Inferno'' while making his way to let Wick loose from his hideout. It's an incredibly atmospheric start to the film that lets everyone know that they're in for a wild ride. And certain sound setups made it so that every punch rhythmically ''shakes the theater''.

*** At one point John takes a few seconds to do an elaborate flourish, like he's channeling the spirit of [[Creator/BruceLee Bruce Lee]]. It seems like for once in the entire series John is actually ''having fun'' fighting, and just wants to show off a bit.

** The Elder telling John that [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning killing him will accomplish nothing]] does little to lessen the satisfaction of watching John personally execute the [[TheManBehindTheMan Man Behind TheMan]] after no-selling his villainous speech. If anything, the Table's knee-jerk reaction afterward suggests that even if they can keep replacing their ranks, the killing of the current Elder like he was nothing spurring them to give emergency powers to the Marquis to more directly intervene suggests that the 12 members of the High Table are ''more scared of John than he is of them''.

* The immediately following sequence in the desert showcases exactly how scary John Wick can be at the top of his game, fully rested since the events of Chapter 3 and spending the last few months training vigorously. The Elder, who Chapter 3 established as the "[[GreaterScopeVillain Man above the Table]]," who is so notoriously hard to track down that John himself passed out in the middle of the desert trying to find him[[labelnote:*]]or at least, [[LegacyCharacter his precursor]][[/labelnote]] last time? John tracks him down and kills him in the first ''five minutes'' of the film, with the hard cut from the Bowery to the desert implying that barely any time has passed since John left for Morocco, making a direct beeline from New York to the Elder's location to put a bullet in his skull.
