* CoolGuns:
** As per series tradition, ''Parabellum'' features many tricked-out firearms by Taran Tactical Innovations, the same company who provided the modified Glocks and AR-15 used in ''Chapter Two''. The most notable packages this time are Sofia's Glock 19, the TTI STI 2011 Combat Master used by Wick during the Continental siege, and the modified Benelli M2s that he and Charon use to defeat the High Table soldiers' body armor.
** Winston himself possesses a rather ornate Colt Hammerless that doubles as a ChekhovsGun.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: The Bowery King created an army, just as invisible and capable as the well respected assassins of the High Table and the Continental, from nothing and he's punished nearly fatally for not showing due respect while being shown none in return. Where the more respectable members of the Underworld are punished for helping John ''after'' he's declared excommunicate, BK is punished for helping him go after Santino ''beforehand'', because Santino had become a member of the High Table. BK ends the film alive and '''pissed off'''.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: Eschewing any of the racism that can be found in East Asian traditions, Zero's students are a multi-ethnic group, with the two respectful students John allows to survive being Indonesian and Zero's actor having a diverse background that is only tangentially Japanese at the most.

** When the doctor asks John to shoot him non-fatally to make it look like he was coerced into providing treatment, he directs him to shoot him in the lower intestine and shoulder, both of which are highly problematic places to be shot. Damage to the lower intestine can easily be permanent, and often requires the use of a colostomy bag as part of the treatment. Meanwhile, the shoulder is home to a major artery that is notoriously difficult to seal up, leaving him at danger of quickly bleeding out. There is in fact no "safe" place to shoot someone and one can not know for sure if the bullet wounds will be survivable.

There is in fact no "safe" place to shoot someone and one can not know for sure if the bullet wounds will be survivable. Part of the problem is that medical textbooks showing the locations of veins, arteries, and nerves are ''guidelines'', as they will grow on their own in slightly different locations, and where one person might have two arteries, another might have three.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: The High Table considers killing a member of the Table in order to open a spot and join the Table to be acceptable, but killing one as a matter of principle and honor is not. They refuse to acknowledge blood debts, oaths, or family, and insist that service to the High Table is the only acceptable goal in the Underworld. The One Who Sits Above the Table is even less bound by the rules and agrees to lift John's Excommunication if he agrees to be of service for the rest of his life.

However, what she really seems to be there to punish isn't John's obviously criminal behavior, but the various people in the Underworld being insufficiently deferential to the High Table.
