- The younger criminals’ ignorance of Wick makes more sense under the original elderly-protagonist concept than with Reeves.
- Killing with a pencil is less extraordinary when it functions like a small knife.
- One coin buying very different services seems inconsistent; different denominations and later larger coins are considered as explanations.
- The final Viggo fight falls short of earlier action and should be easy for Wick, although accumulated injuries may explain the difficulty.
- Wick should show more facial swelling after the home-invasion beating.
- Wick passes up a clear early shot at the son but later kills him plainly, undermining the idea that he was saving a special punishment.
- More nightclub patrons should flee after repeated killings.
- The son’s ignorance of Wick is questioned again because Wick is not particularly old.
- Victor seems to know Wick’s danger yet insults him instead of pleading for his life.
- The Baba Yaga nickname is questioned because the traditional figure is a female witch; a real-life phrasing is corrected to mythology.
- An assassin’s house has too many exposed windows; bulletproof glass is proposed but challenged by the break-in.
- The house should have stronger security against intruders.
- The first film should return Wick’s car, even though the sequel later addresses it.
