One of the most notable production facts is that Keanu Reeves reportedly performed around 90% of his own action sequences, reflecting the extensive physical preparation he undertook for the role.
The movie was directed by Chad Stahelski, a former stunt professional, which helps explain the emphasis on readable choreography and extended action sequences. Stahelski later directed the subsequent John Wick films as well.
The film’s fictional criminal world was also deliberately designed with its own rules, rituals and institutions. The Continental Hotel, professional assassins and gold coins became recurring elements of the franchise rather than simply being background details.
