John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
9 quotes
Directed by: Chad Stahelski
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Jerome Flynn, Asia Kate Dillon
Continuity mistake: After John is stabbed in his right shoulder he sews it up and there is a lot of blood around the area, but when he is with the director the area is completely clean.
Trivia: John's request for "guns...lots of guns" mirrors a line Keanu Reeves has in The Matrix.
Question: How was John expected to kill Winston? It's made clear killing anyone on continental grounds results in death, so why was the adjudicator insisting John kill Winston whilst inside the continental? Wouldn't he technically be excommunicado all over again for breaking the most important rule?

Answer: Winston had broken the rules by allowing John to escape in the first place before trying to kill him. This effectively nullified the Continental's immunity while Winston was in charge do to himself breaking the rules. Therefor, John would not be breaking any further rules by killing him on the Continental grounds as it had been desanctified, and thus John would have been cleaning it to allow it become such once more and clearing his own name.
