If you’re a fan of John Wick, you’ve probably seen this behind-the-scenes video of Keanu Reeves obliterating targets while doing his weapons training. The creators of John Wick Chapter 2 were clearly aware of the interest, because they just released a similar video for the sequel.
The 12-minute featurette goes behind the scenes of Reeves’ martial arts training for John Wick 2, a process that took four months of daily workouts and stunt lessons. He and the other actors did an unusual amount of stunts themselves, including prolonged hand-to-hand fight scenes and car chases.
