Keanu Reeves Impresses Fans with Shooting Skills in Resurfaced Video
Keanu Reeves’ fans were left astounded and impressed after a video resurfaced of the actor showcasing his shooting skills while training for his blockbuster sequel, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum. The video, which originally circulated around the film’s release in May 2019, shows Reeves maneuvering through an obstacle course with a Sig Sauer MPX submachine gun.
In the video, the 59-year-old actor displays nearly flawless marksmanship as he shoots multiple targets while on the move. Social media users couldn’t help but compare Reeves to his on-screen character, John Wick, with some joking that he “wasn’t pretending to be John Wick” and could be just as deadly with a gun in real life.
Reeves’ co-star in the film, Halle Berry, also made an appearance in the video, standing behind him and timing his run through the course. The video gained traction on social media as fans celebrated the ninth anniversary of the first John Wick film’s release on October 24, 2014.
Fans were particularly impressed with Reeves’ technique, including his use of the double tap method, in which he fires a second shot immediately after the first. This technique increases the likelihood of killing an enemy in combat.
During the obstacle course, Reeves crouches, walks between various obstacles, and hides behind banners for protection. After completing the course in just over 16 seconds, Reeves received cheers from the onlookers, including Berry.
The resurfaced video sparked a wave of posts praising Reeves’ shooting skills and drawing comparisons between him and his iconic character, John Wick. Some fans even jokingly suggested that Reeves actually is John Wick, while others marveled at how he popularized a unique method of emptying his handgun magazine.
Reeves’ most recent installment in the John Wick series, Chapter Four, was released in March of this year and received critical acclaim. Despite an ambiguous ending, the film became the highest-grossing entry in the series, earning an impressive $432 million worldwide.
The resurfaced video serves as a testament to Reeves’ dedication and skill in portraying the deadly and iconic character of John Wick. Fans eagerly anticipate the next installment in the action-packed franchise.
