Who Is the Real John Wick?

With the third and final installment of the John Wick saga in theatres, fans can be forgiven for thinking that the unbeatable Wick could in no way be based on a real life figure. And while it’s true that the script is an original conception by script writer Derek Kolstad, the spark that grew into the flame that is John Wick can be found buried deep within the trivia section of the John Wick IMDB page:

“The story is loosely inspired by an incident in Texas involving former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who wrote Lone Survivor, about his fire-team's ordeal during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. Luttrell was given a yellow labrador puppy, whom he named DASY, after the members of his fireteam.

On April 1, 2009, at about 1:00 a.m., Luttrell was awakened by a gunshot, and saw four men drive away. DASY was dead in his yard from a gunshot wound. He armed himself with two 9 mm Beretta pistols and chased the men through four counties in his truck until police apprehended them. They taunted Luttrell, threatened to kill him, and indicated no remorse for their actions. They were later sentenced for animal cruelty. Luttrell stated later, "I spared them, because I've killed enough people already."

So yes, it would appear that John Wick is mostly a fabrication, but there’s a hint of truth behind every story that’s make belief!
