The rigorous martial arts training played a vital role in crafting the film&#8217;s notable action sequences.  It took Reeves almost three months to get into shape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Keanu Reeves Trained for John Wick\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CtQffsKvUr8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He also revealed the technical aspects of creating the close-quarters battle (CQB) scenes, particularly the innovative use of &#8216;plug guns&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost firearms up until very recently fired blanks,&#8221; Stahelski explained.  &#8220;And for the people out there a blank is a round without the actual bullet, the lead piece in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut a blank still has a gunpowder charge in it.&nbsp; Even if it\u2019s only 50 grams of black powder.&nbsp; But at a range of 10-15 feet that can kill you because of the concussive force,&#8221; he continued.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stahelski highlighted the dangers associated with the use of blanks in films, stating bluntly, &#8220;You can&#8217;t put a blank to your head and pull the trigger. It&#8217;d kill you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-alec-baldwin-skipped-firearms-training-on-rust-set\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/alec-baldwin-skipped-firearms-training-on-rust-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"john-wick-director-talks-plug-guns-martial-arts-and-the-role-of-cgi-in-the-film-series\" title=\"'John Wick' Director Talks Plug Guns, Martial Arts, and the Role of CGI in the Film Series\">Alec Baldwin Skipped Firearms Training On \u2018Rust\u2019 Set<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the need for safe, realistic CQB scenes, Stahelski and his team used plug guns. &#8220;The trick isn&#8217;t so much the muzzle flash, but the light interaction, especially at night, and the cycling of the slide and the casing ejection,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plug guns, as explained by Stahelski, are fitted with a steel rod inside the barrel that diverts gas differently, causing an ejection but no flash or projectile. This innovation eliminated the danger and substantially reduced visual effects costs.  Since the slide cycling didn&#8217;t require CGI, the visual effects team was left with just adding the flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These are called plug guns. They use a very small charge of powder, just enough to cycle it,&#8221; Stahelski elaborated. &#8220;You couldn&#8217;t put a live round in it if you tried.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stahelski concluded by explaining that most of the blood spatter seen in the film is the product of CGI, emphasizing the blend of practical effects and digital manipulation that forms the signature &#8220;John Wick&#8221; aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"john-wick-director-talks-plug-guns-martial-arts-and-the-role-of-cgi-in-the-film-series\" title=\"'John Wick' Director Talks Plug Guns, Martial Arts, and the Role of CGI in the Film Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He also revealed the technical aspects of creating the close-quarters battle (CQB) scenes, particularly the innovative use of &#8216;plug guns&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":180552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-190737","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-buzz","9":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;John Wick&#039;
