Killer Poker Game | John Wick: Chapter 4

Donnie yen, Keanu reeves, and Scott Adkins all at a poker table. Love this scene

If you told me this was a scene from a Batman movie and those where Gotham villains I’d believe it. It gave me those vibes

Wick's hand is literally the "Deadman's Hand." Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs, Eight of Spades and Eight of Clubs two pair is known as the "Deadman's Hand" in poker because it is rumored to be the hand that Wild Bill Hickok had when he was shot in the back of the head and killed. Many superstitious poker players won't play that hand for that reason.

Fun fact: When Scott Atkins pulled the Ace out of the deck, it was his first try

I like how John Wick swears in every language except English.

This entire scene had a very comic book feel to it. Very well done.

I once saw him cut a man's throat at a poker game with a playing card... A freaking playing card!

The card game symbolizes every character's fate in the film. John gets the "Deadman's Hand" and is the second to die of the four players. Caine gets a good hand with 4 Nines and 1 Four, but Four is associated with death in many Asian cultures. The final credit scene shows his fate is uncertain. Tracker gets a Royal Flush, and he and his dog survive the film's events. Killa gets the best hand, "5 of a Kind," but he cheats and has the weakest form of that hand: 5 Twos. He dies first because he broke the rules of his own game. Adding on to this, both John and Tracker change cards in the game and change their views throughout the film, while Caine does not.

I love Scott shit eating grin and chuckle in this. Such a good character

You missed two of the best part 1. I am Klaus! 2. Jaa baba yaaga.... je haha ha hja 👹👹👹

Scott Adkins brought a character to life in a movie series of great characters. His portrayal of Killa was definitely worth waiting 4 movies to see

We not gonna talk about how the blind man knows he got 4 9s. Or how he even play poker.😂

Blind man:"lets see"

Grimace really went to the dark side when Ronald let him go

I don't gamble, that "deadman's hand" give me the only meaning when John sliced him with a card when the game is over....anything in John's hand can become a weapon

I will give Scott Adkins this, he can act on top of his martial prowess. Usually it's one over the other

Just noticed: Killa plays with what looks like Theory11 cards. Great for both cardistry, magic, cheating, and general quality.

Actually, in 5 card draw, joker is considered as wild card. That means it can turn into any card hence when combine with four of a kind, the hand automatically becomes 5 of a kind and beats royal flush. So he could have used a joker card to make his 5 of a kind legit.

Scott Adkins actually learned the card tricks for the role of Killa.

Scott Adkins generally terrifies me with all those prosthetics on and OFC the great acting.
