When it comes to modern day action flicks, there are very few films that entertain quite the way that JOHN WICK does. With the recent JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM, Keanu Reeves once again excels at playing one of the coolest characters of his career – and that says something considering he’s the guy that played Neo. With the upcoming Blu Ray and Ultra HD 4K release of the latest in the JW franchise, the fine folks at Lionsgate and Click Communications had a spectacularly killer way to celebrate the new film that also stars Halle Berry, Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne and Mark Dacascos – who kills it as one of the most charming baddies ever.
Last week, a group of film journalists – including us here at JoBlo – made their way over to LA AX in North Hollywood. What is LA AX for those of you not in the area? Well, it’s a place to let out a bit of aggression and get a little fit while you're throwing axes. Yes, we all were tossing very sharp axes… film journalists… and nobody got hurt. If you want to give a glowing review to any place, all you need to say is that the staff was so good that not a single soul stuck an axe where it shouldn’t go. And it was an absolute blast!
Personally, I wasn't the best at getting my axes on the bullseye, but seriously, when you are doing this next to the great Mark Dacascos you might as well not even pretend. Yes, Mark got down and dirty with the group and proved to be incredibly skilled at tossing these sharp objects. And while he may be pretty fierce when necessary, he is about as kind and chill as you can get. After wielding several axes and realizing I’m not terribly good at it, I sat down with Mark to discuss the final fight sequence in JOHN WICK 3, as well as working with the amazing folks at 87eleven and Keanu himself. Here's hoping we haven't seen the last of Dacascos' Zero in future films.
JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM is currently available on DVD, Blu Ray and Ultra HD which you can pick up here!
