What was he doing to the old revolver? Was the cylinder not spinning, or was the timing of the cylinder off?

I thought it fit with the whole Rockabilly phone line operators aesthetic.

I also hated "Guns. Lots of guns." Like, go for the cheesy reference if you want but don't literally use the same line, it's nowhere near obscure enough.

The director was Keanu Reeves' stunt double in The Matrix and Laurence Fishburne is there so they probably held back on using that cheesy line as long as they could.

I thought it was santino’s completed marker?

Winston doesn't specify. For all we know, it could be a marker for Winston owing John a favor from way back when.

I like that part. The part that I didn't really much care for was dealing with the armored up Table goon squad. Other than the pretty good joke of having to go back to get shotguns, it felt much more tedious and generally pointless and belief stretching than anything else. By that point in the movie I was kinda genuinely over watching john wick turn someone upside down and shoot them in the head/neck.

The way I think about it is that if you give John Wick a gun, you know he's gonna kill everyone in the room in 2 seconds. So they gave him opponents that he could shoot endlessly until he can get close enough to exploit a weak point.

Edit: Why does it seem like John Wick's aim goes to poo poo when he's trying to shoot someone through glass?
