Early in the John Wick: Chapter 4, our titular hero (Keanu Reeves) is still hiding within the Bowery King's lair. As he bloodies his knuckles punching at a wooden block in a room filled with candles, the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) enters holding a new slick black suit for Wick. He hands the suit over, pulls out a match, strikes it, and then blows it out. The film then cuts to an orange desert horizon. This is a clear — and striking — homage by editor Nathan Orloff to one of the most famous jump cuts in cinema history.
