This John Wick trivia quiz has 50 free questions with answers and covers the whole franchise: the 2014 original that began with a stolen Mustang and a murdered puppy, Chapter 2's blood-oath marker, Parabellum's excommunicado bounty, Chapter 4's duel on the steps of Sacré-Cœur, the spin-offs Ballerina and The Continental, and the people behind it all, from Keanu Reeves's training to stunt-doubles-turned-directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. It is written for action-movie nights and film-buff pub quizzes: easy questions on the plot and cast, harder ones on production history, box office and the rules of the High Table.
