The whole sequence, full of ear-piercing, crunching metal mixed with the dull thumps of fists, unfolds with knowing intentions, as Tarasov puffs on his cigar while dramatically narrating the legend of John Wick to his tattooed henchman.

This time, he is in pursuit of his cherished '69 Ford Mustang, kept at a chop shop owned by Abram Tarasov (Peter Stormare), Viggo's brother and Iosef's uncle. Our titular antihero John Wick (Keanu Reeves) even appears on screen, coming out the shadows like a ghostly nightmare, with a far more focused determination as he once again leaves a trail of chaos and death. These are the repercussions of the preceding mayhem. Staying true to the title's connotation, John Wick: Chapter 2 picks up soon after the events of the first movie.
