John Wick: Chapter 4 was a satisfying end to Keanu Reeves’ action-packed movie franchise. Directed by Chad Stahelski, the film had a rather tragic finale. Now, the director has opened up about drawing inspiration from the classic anime Cowboy Bebop for the final scenes.
The director said that Cowboy Bebop is his favourite anime. In the anime, the protagonist Spike Spiegel dies on a flight of stairs. He also shared that director and creator Hajime Yatate has had an influence on his filmography.
