* CarFu: Action sequences revolving around using cars as weapons show up a few times. In particular, the franchise ''loves'' to have Wick himself get hit by a car, and as a RunningGag the car always hits him on his right: it happens once in the first film, twice in ''Chapter 2'', and once in ''Chapter 3''.

* NoodleIncident: Characters occasionally mention the "Impossible Task" that Viggo Tarasov gave John as the condition to leave the criminal underworld. The Impossible Task is never described in detail, beyond that John left behind an ocean of corpses over the course of a single night that allowed to Tarasov Crime Family to become the major power players they are today, and that Santino D'Antonio apparently gave John assistance in exchange for a blood debt.
