I'm curious what people think. Discuss.

Spoiler

Would Bond even last 10 seconds? Wick is a far better marksman. More ruthless and has a higher pain tollerance.
The only way Bond wins this is if its a straight hand to hand fight.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

John Wick would kill every version of James Bond.

 

[Hoo-doo]

John Wick is a hitman.
James Bond is a spy.

Their approaches couldn't be more different.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

John Wick is a hitman.
James Bond is a spy.

Their approaches couldn't be more different.

Eh, debatable. Some interpretations of Bond are basically him as a glorified hitman that engages in light information gathering.*

* Or so I've heard.

 

[GotchaForce]

1 v 1? Wick.
If Bond has his team and some time? Bond.

 

[Alucrid]

what's the dog situation

 

[Kthulhu]

Every version of Bond together would lose to Wick.

Screwattack, prove me wrong.

 

[Seesaw15]

Yamcha could kill them both.

 

[Monocle]

John Wick, no contest.

 

[daviyoung]

James Bond is a Brit so obviously he wins regardless

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Every version of Bond together would lose to Wick.

Screwattack, prove me wrong.

Wick would kill them all inside thirty seconds by Judo throwing Lazenby while blasting the other five in the head in a single fluid motion. And then sitting George.

 

[EGM1966]

This is a dumb comparison because Bond, as established via the films and popular media, is literally indestructible. Like Superman he simply doesnt lose. Thus I'd argue that it's actuall a moot comparison really. They belong to very different worlds in popular culture.

Horrible question, Bourne vs Wick is where its at.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Horrible question, Bourne vs Wick is where its at.

This is a better comparison, yeah.

I haven't seen the Wick movies yet, though I plan too. Also haven't seen enough bond to make a conclusion anyway.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Bond is more pragmatic, he'll find some absurd way to cheat his way to victory.

 

[Rymuth]

what's the dog situation

This.

Depending on the dog's condition, it's a toss up

 

[Rembrandt]

Wick in a straight up 1v1.

Bond would probably win if he was briefed on Wick and everything. I haven't seen the second one, but Wick was just fighting mobsters and

Spoiler

also almost got murdered by another assassin, so like.

and the line between being a spy and assassin seems really thin on the spy side.

Kingsman

the best of both worlds? everybody in the kingsman universe wins.

 

[Coxy100]

And there it is. Although Bourne is the winner

 

[Nielm]

Horrible question, Bourne vs Wick is where its at.

Bourne in melee, Wick in a shootout.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Every version of Bond together would lose to Wick.

Screwattack, prove me wrong.

Damn right.

 

[Mivey]

Wick doesn't have the power of silly gadgets. Bond would just gift him a new dog, which turns out to be a carefully created robot, that turns out to be just a walking bomb.
Or he would have a bullet-proof west, which actually ricochets the bullets back.

 

[EGM1966]

It's the climate. Too much serious stuff going around for this.

That said to put it another way Bond would own his ass. Which would be a shame as I love Keannu but there you go. Wick would be dispatched with a quip like all others before him.

...Is that a spoiler in there?

 

[TheRedSnifit]

I think he means "almost."

 

[Dreamgazer]

1 on 1 in a cage or arena, Wick

Every other situation? Bond.

Both Wick films has shown that he is powerless against umexpected ambushes or when he lacks the will to kill.

 

[sturmdogg]

The better question would be: Jason Bourne vs John Wick.

 

[Xe4]

John Wick, easy. James Bond gets by because of stupid villains and crazy luck. He's a skilled agent, but not even in the same league of baddassery as Wick. Not really fair to compare though, they're different universes with different rules.

 

[Ferrio]

The better question would be: Jason Bourne vs John Wick.

Screw that, make it a movie. Someone pitch this to Hollywood.

 

[Mister0079]

wick will kill them

he'll kill them all

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Give Bond a car and he will murder Wick.

Did you guys watch JW2? Dude can't even hear them coming. Just run him over lol

 

[Rembrandt]

...Is that a spoiler in there?

I think he means "almost."

yeah, i meant almost and it's a very very small spoiler for the first one. i'll edit it and put it in spoilers, though.

 

[Apt101]

I think Bond could hold his own hand-to-hand for a while but would still lose. Gunfight? Knife fight? Probably be over before Bond even knew what was happening.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Hard to take this comment seriously coming from Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Archer

 

[dc3k]

James Bond would blaze through all the idiot bad guys with his cool toys and sweet cars and nicely timed explosions, stop to do some Bond girl business, shoot some more idiot bad guys, then get to the final boss and John Wick would shoot him in the face immediately because John Wick is a fucking badass.

 

[sirap]

Prime Craig Bond vs weaponless John Wick?

Bond.

Spoiler

Unless Wick has pencils in his pockets.

John would probably destroy him in a gunfight though. He's not even a man of words so Bond can't charm his way out of a fight.

 

[Radec]

Jason Bourne would have been a better match against John Wick.

 

[Ruddles72]

The better question would be: Jason Bourne vs John Wick.

Also a more interesting comparison, John Wick versus Jack Reacher, the novel version (not the movie version).

Anyway, in reality any of these would be the most boring fight in history. All of these characters are written as indestructible. So any fight between the two of them would inevitably lead to
(1) a literally never-ending fight where they both just keep going in spite of the amount of incoming damage, or more likely
(2) after a lot of fighting they mutually recognise they are actually perfectly matched and then buddy up for the rest of the movie.

 

[dejay]

Bond has plot armor.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

In all seriousness though, Wick would destroy Bond.

Look at JW2's insane kill count: http://i2.wp.com/www.slashfilm.com/...ck2-killcount-infographic.jpg?resize=736,5823

It would take James Bond quite a while to catch up to the raw killing power Wick possesses. For example...the Bond kill count across EVERY movie leading up to Skyfall is 362. (And I think it includes people Bond himself didn't kill) When Wick is walking away from his 2nd movie with 126 kills, how many do you think John would have if he also had 26 movies under his belt?

Wick is clearly on a different level from Bond, as much as I like Bond, his dapper one liner would likely get cut short due to Wick headshotting him mid sentence.

 

[Melkezadek]

Vs

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Wick unless Bond is Dalton

 

[Brakke]

Recent Bond is unbeatable. Even if John Wick puts a hole in Bond's head, Bond has recovered from hole-in-head and gone on to kill helicopters with handguns within a few hours.

 

[caliph95]

John Wick with a pencil

 

[Berserking Guts]

Bond can dive off of a mountain on his bike, jump off the bike, into a free falling plane, take control, and fly into the sunset.

 

[Donos]

The Accountant (Affleck) would kill Craigs Bond easily.

Accountant vs Wick is the better face off.

 

[Unit 33]

Roger Moore's Bond, dressed ad a Clown, using a death Yo-Yo

 

[CaviarMeths]

James Bond has some wicked plot armour going on. He has taken down people who are more or less equivalent of John Wick many times throughout his movies. Not because he's better than them, but because he's the good guy and he's cooler than them.

John Wick is a better fighter and more efficient killer, but he's much more vulnerable.
