One of the few actors I've seen go out of their way to credit their stunt actors by name in an interview is Keanu Reeves, who makes sure that Jackson Spidell gets his stars whenever he does press.
Thing is, Keanu does all his own action. But Chad does all his stunts. And when Keanu was asked to explain the difference, he was like, "oh, I'll fight ten guys and pretend to shoot a gun and run around and do some acting... And then Jack will get by a car. And then I'll stand up, and do some running and shooting, and then Jack will jump off of a building. And then I'll get up and do some more running."
Funniest way to break down action and stunts, and also really cool to actually credit his stuntman that's been bringing the character to life alongside him.

JO.HN WI.CK : FIGHTING STYLES. PART 2.
this is a follow-up to my post on john’s fighting styles and i’d recommend reading that first since it’s a more in-depth description of each style and the purpose behind it. what i’m going to be doing here is giving visual examples of almost everything i listed on the first post and kind of explain what he’s doing in those specific moments.
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU :
Tumblr media
in brazilian jiu-jitsu, this is known as a flying guard sweep. considering BJJ is a grappling and ground combat style, this is an effective way to get an opponent to the ground and gain the upper hand. what he’s doing is locking his arm around his opponent’s neck and then wrapping his legs around this guy’s waist. what we can’t really see, since it’s happening just off screen, is the final move to fully complete the technique, which is getting his arm (in this case his right arm) behind his opponent’s leg. that last step is what actually completes the rolling motion.
Tumblr media
this is another sweep, although pretty different from the flying guard sweep. this one is called a flying armbar (which is a variation of the regular armbar move). john executes it pretty traditionally here. in BJJ when performing a flying armbar, the fighter will want to have his hands on the collar of his opponent’s gi (or suit in this situation), which is what john is doing here. having his hands on the collar of the other’s clothing gives him more control over the movement of his opponent’s body when performing the armbar. john then falls himself to pull his opponent to the ground, get the right angle, and execute the armbar. the basis of the actual armbar is john holding onto and controlling his opponent’s right arm when he’s on the floor, also keeping one leg across his opponent’s chest, while he sort of “cranks” at his opponent’s arm, pulling it, as well as pushing with his leg. 
Tumblr media
just as a bonus, this is a flying armbar that john performs in the stables during parabellum. this move was actually performed by keanu’s stunt double, jackson spidell (with a little sneaky facial replacement cgi). i don’t have actual confirmation on whether this is a flying armbar or not, but considering the way both men are gripping each other’s clothes for control and john then using his weight to pull his opponent down, i really do think it’s the same move. this one is, however, a little more extreme with how high john is able to get his leg up on his opponent before falling and rolling to the ground to complete the armbar (thank you, jackson).
BJJ, JUDO, GUN-FU :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this choke is called a triangle choke and it’s practiced in both BJJ and judo. what’s happening is john is wrapping his legs around his opponent’s neck, locking in the choke with his other leg on top, and making sure the opponent’s arm is trapped as well. in traditional practices of these martial arts, this specific technique is meant to constrict off the blood flow to the carotid artery and, through applied pressure, force the opponent to pass out. of course, the point of john’s gun-fu is incorporating his firearms expertise into his regular combat, which is why he doesn’t completely seal the technique and instead extends his legs and shoots this guy in the head.
JUDO :
Tumblr media
i mentioned the “sacrifice” technique in the first post and this is a good example of it. when john is throwing his opponent, he steps inward and basically falls backwards himself to drag this guy down. the technique of falling to pull or throw the opponent is known as “sacrificing” yourself.
Tumblr media
going along with the sacrifice technique, this is the standing technique which is accomplished by simply throwing an opponent over one’s shoulder or hip. this is obviously a standing shoulder throw and not a standing hip throw. it’s pretty standard and you can spot this kind of throw in a lot of hollywood fight scenes. 
Tumblr media
this is an example of a tripping move that john performs at least four times (?) in chapter 2, that i was able to catch. this moment is obviously from chapter 3 from the knife fight scene. this specific execution is actually a way clearer version of this move than most of the examples i found in chapter 2, in that this one is fully on screen and a pretty orthodox execution of the move as well.  the way this move is executed is through john using his leg to bring their leg out and knock them down, which is what we see in the gif. sometimes simply sweeping one leg out is enough to knock an opponent down, but we can see that john clearly wasn’t able to throw his opponent off balance enough with the first leg, due to the limited space, so he makes sure to knock his second leg as well, which completes the move correctly.
Tumblr media
this is actually the same tripping move, although a modified version. what makes this modified is john having his opponent’s leg trapped. he uses this to his advantage, keeping the leg trapped, getting himself a little closer, and then performing the trip and flipping the guy over. 
Tumblr media
john performs this type of throw a number of times, but this moment with cassian is just the one i happened to choose. it’s an “over the back” throw and it’s done by getting someone into a fireman’s carry pose (over your back/top of the shoulders, at least holding onto one arm to throw them, but sometimes with an arm around the thigh) and then throwing them down in whatever direction you choose. with cassian, john throws him to the side, but he uses this same throw on one of santino’s guards later in the film and throws the guard behind him : see below.
Tumblr media
as a note: what separates this throw from the standing technique, covered above, as the throws are pretty similar, is the fact that standing technique almost always has the fighter throwing their opponent in front of them while this fireman’s carry throw is not super conducive to that positioning.
SAMBO :
Tumblr media
this move is very similar to the one i just covered between john and cassian, but the move itself is more present in sambo, which is the fighting style viggo and john both use in their fight together.
AIKIDO :
Tumblr media
this throw that he does on this guy is a wrist manipulation technique called a corner drop. he sort of moves his opponent off line and then immediately pushes down which causes his opponent to drop instantly.
HAPKIDO :
Tumblr media
this is a pretty damn good example of john using rope (or in this case his belt) techniques to block attacks, trap his attacker’s limb, and then use that leverage against them. we even see him employ what seems to be the tripping move i have listed underneath judo, so it’s really fun to see him mixing and matching his combat and techniques like that. in this moment also it seems like hapkido rope combat works very well considering he’s battling two opponents at once, which isn’t something we’d seen john do in the previous films.
Tumblr media
simply put, this is just an example of john using his belt with hapkido rope techniques to perform a throw over his shoulder. this throw does have a lot of similarities to the “over the back” throw i have under judo (and it’s even more similar to a throw john performs on cassian in the subway) and that would be because hapkido does share a lot of throwing techniques with judo.
there's one other instance of john seemingly utilizing these rope-style hapkido techniques and it's during his fight with miss perkins in the first film, which i have gif'd here. john uses his arm sling in a similar way as his belt in chapter 3.
BOXING :
Tumblr media
i personally wouldn’t consider boxing one of john’s primary hand-to-hand combat styles, but he certainly is proficient in it. the man knows how to throw a solid punch without breaking his thumb. but the example i’m using here obviously isn’t of any punching technique. we’ve seen punches before. we don’t need to see it again. so i went for john demonstrating some very routine blocking technique, achieved by lifting his arms toward his head and ears to block incoming blows. there’s nothing fancy about it, it’s just a normal block, but i do think it’s important to point out not only the techniques john uses to attack, but also what he does on defense as well.
CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is obviously something we see john do a lot of, although CQC in its traditional military setting is performed with a small team of people, rather than going solo as john does. but in any case, the things we see him do in the red circle are a good example of solo CQC, which is hand-to-hand combat as well as close-range firearms.
SHINOBI-IRI :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
because it’s a stealth and infiltration practice, i think these examples are great, frankly. john clearly shows his ability to silently approach and attack opponents, throwing them off guard. in the first gif, he obviously shoves the man’s lit cigarette into his mouth (ow), and in the second he uses a garrote wire (in the commentary for chapter 2, keanu stated that he thought using the garrote wire was very fun). and then of course we have john sneaking up on zero in winston's glass house, which was a setting chosen specifically for showing off these sorts of techniques.
STRIKING TECHNIQUES :
Tumblr media
we don’t see john do a ton of striking, honestly?? he does a little bit with cassian in rome, but most of the time he’s using his gun as a striking tool or simply shooting alongside his regular combat. this opening sequence for chapter 2 is one of the only times we see him genuinely just use non-lethal strikes since he’s not actively trying to kill these guys. in any case, we usually see a lot of boxing when it comes to using strikes as an attack in movies, but john’s strikes are a little more martial arts-based. boxing is usually little movement of the lower body and focuses mainly with the waist and arms. but we see john use his entire body to attack, including kicks and bending down to strike at the legs and groin. this would be consistent with judo or sambo.

Can I just say how much I love that Keanu Reeves names his stuntman in interviews.
Like it’s not just him being like “no that’s my stunt guy” he says “no that was Jackson Spidel”. Most actors really don’t credit their stunt persons the way he does and it just adds to how much I love and respect him.

Keanu Reeves spills details on Bill And Ted sequel while dishing 'John Wick action' training
By Dailymail.com Reporter
Published: 07:05 BST, 11 May 2019  |  Updated: 08:59 BST, 11 May 2019 
Keanu Reeves spilled some details on the upcoming revival of his Bill And Ted franchise, which last released a movie in 1991.
The 54-year-old Matrix hunk appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Friday and discussed the in-the-works sequel, entitled Bill And Ted Face The Music.
Alex Winter's character Bill and Keanu's Ted were meant to write a song that was 'supposed to unite the world and bring peace and everything, but they haven't.'
Keanu shared that the new movie will explore the question of 'what has that done to them,' now that they have families and yet are 'still trying to write the song.'
The premise of Bill And Ted Face The Music is that their song is necessary to 'save the universe, and you have to write the song in, like, 80 minutes.'
When the chat-show host asked what would happen if Bill and Ted failed to meet the task, Keanu replied that the 'end of the universe' would ensue.
Stephen then asked Keanu for his thoughts on what happens after death, and Keanu replied philosophically: 'I know that the ones who love us will miss us.'
The acclaimed actor has himself dealt with his share of personal tragedy - he and his girlfriend Jennifer Syme had a stillborn child in 1999.
Two years later, after Keanu and Jennifer had broken up amid the grief of their bereavement, she was killed in a car accident.
While on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Keanu also discussed his upcoming movie John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, out next Friday.
The film is legendary for its action scenes, and on the chat show Keanu dished the division of labor between himself and stuntman Jackson Spidell.
‘Okay, so I'll do some fight scenes and then John Wick will get hit by a car, and that's Jackson Spidell, who's an amazing stuntman,' said Keanu.
At that point the film star himself will step back in for 'kung fu' and similar martial arts sequences, but 'if I get thrown off of something, then Jackson does his thing.'
The movies require a 'particular kind of action' because the 'director wants to make it immersive,' so there are 'really long takes' and Keanu must 'train for a while.'
For this training, he will 'get basically like a John Wick toolbox' of choreographed moves in various forms of martial arts including jiu-jitsu.
Keanu spilled that 'there's a horse fight now' that includes not only jiu-jitsu but also gunplay - all done while the leading man is riding his steed.
The 'safety systems' included a 'rig,' with the horse situated 'behind a truck' in a setup that the action movie star described as 'very complicated.'
He worked with a 'second-generation horsemaster' on these sequences, and said that he truly enjoyed the fact 'you get to meet these great instructors and teachers.'
Halle Berry, his co-star in the film, is frequently accompanied onscreen by a pair of Belgian Malinois dogs and had to 'train for about - over six months' with them.
'I didn't do the Halle Berry six-month training, because they were her dogs,' he shared, which led to an awkward moment when he first met the animals.
During his initial encounter with the pooches, he was instructed: 'Don't look them in the eye,' because otherwise 'they might do something not good.'
On the other hand, Halle had the training to look the dogs in the eye and in fact by the end of the process had become quite affectionate with them.
Keanu related a story from the set of the first John Wick where a dog actor 'escaped once in Times Square at five in the morning' and set off after a horse-drawn carriage.

this is a follow-up to my post on john’s fighting styles and i’d recommend reading that first since it’s a more in-depth description of each style and the purpose behind it. what i’m going to be doing here is giving visual examples of almost everything i listed on the first post and kind of explain what he’s doing in those specific moments.

this is a pretty damn good example of john using rope (or in this case his belt) techniques to block attacks, trap his attacker’s limb, and then use that leverage against them. we even see him employ what seems to be the tripping move i have listed underneath judo, so it’s really fun to see him mixing and matching his combat and techniques like that. in this moment also it seems like hapkido rope combat works very well considering he’s battling two opponents at once, which isn’t something we’d seen john do in the previous films.
Tumblr media
simply put, this is just an example of john using his belt with hapkido rope techniques to perform a throw over his shoulder. this throw does have a lot of similarities to the “over the back” throw i have under judo (and it’s even more similar to a throw john performs on cassian in the subway, but i don’t have that one listed here) and that would be because hapkido does share a lot of throwing techniques with judo.
BOXING :
Tumblr media
i personally wouldn’t consider boxing one of john’s primary hand-to-hand combat styles, but he certainly is proficient in it. the man knows how to throw a solid punch without breaking his thumb. but the example i’m using here obviously isn’t of any punching technique. we’ve seen punches before. we don’t need to see it again. so i went for john demonstrating some very routine blocking technique, achieved by lifting his arms toward his head and ears to block incoming blows. there’s nothing fancy about it, it’s just a normal block, but i do think it’s important to point out not only the techniques john uses to attack, but also what he does on defense as well.
CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is obviously something we see john do a lot of, although CQC in its traditional military setting is performed with a small team of people, rather than going solo as john does. but in any case, the things we see him do in the red circle are a good example of solo CQC, which is hand-to-hand combat as well as close-range firearms.
SHINOBI-IRI :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
because it’s a stealth and infiltration practice, i think these examples are great, frankly. john clearly shows his ability to silently approach and attack opponents, throwing them off guard. in the first gif, he obviously shoves the man’s lit cigarette into his mouth (ow), and in the second he uses a garrote wire (in the commentary for chapter 2, keanu stated that he thought using the garrote wire was very fun). 
STRIKING TECHNIQUES :
Tumblr media
we don’t see john do a ton of striking, honestly?? he does a little bit with cassian in rome, but most of the time he’s using his gun as a striking tool or simply shooting alongside his regular combat. this opening sequence for chapter 2 is one of the only times we see him genuinely just use non-lethal strikes since he’s not actively trying to kill these guys. in any case, we usually see a lot of boxing when it comes to using strikes as an attack in movies, but john’s strikes are a little more martial arts-based. boxing is usually little movement of the lower body and focuses mainly with the waist and arms. but we see john use his entire body to attack, including kicks and bending down to strike at the legs and groin. this would be consistent with judo or sambo.

EXCLUSIVE: Adrianne Palicki Says Her Dream 'Friday Night Lights' Spinoff Stars Tyra and Tim!
brightcove
Step aside, Coach Taylor -- It's time for Coach Riggins to take the field!
We recently sat down with Friday Night Lights alum Adrianne Palicki, and the 33-year-old actress confessed that she's got the perfect spinoff plan in mind for the beloved NBC football drama.
"I think it would be great to restart the show, but instead of you know, Tami Taylor and Coach Taylor, [Tyra and Tim] are the new Tami and Coach," she spilled to ET's Katie Krause during a live Facebook interview last week.
Be still our Panther-loving hearts – that sounds amazing!
EXCLUSIVE: 'Friday Night Lights' Star Adrianne Palicki No Longer Engaged to Jackson Spidell
Palicki continued, "It's gonna be a little more crazy because he's still gonna be Tim Riggins and I'm still gonna be Tyra Collette." The brunette beauty added that the high school sweethearts would be married by now with "too many kids," and they both would've followed in the career footsteps of the Taylor family.
"I'm a counselor, he's a football coach, he's still a little bit of an alcoholic," she described. "That tension, that dynamic -- wouldn't that be an interesting story?"
So what's it going to take to make this Dillion dream into a reality? "Call [Friday Night Lights producer] Pete Berg and [tell him], 'Yes, this is what we're doing!'"
