The Continental includes a very meta reference.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Winston Scott's character in The Continental episode 1 makes a reference to The Matrix which simultaneously helps to explain a scene from John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. The Continental is a prequel to the John Wick movies, primarily set in 1970s New York and centering on the exploits of the titular hotel.
Given The Continental's place in the John Wick universe, the former naturally has several references to the latter. From the criminal underworld explored to some John Wick villains even playing a role in The Continental's story, the new series offers plenty of connections, Easter eggs, and links to the four films of which it is a prequel.
Winston's "Guns, Lots Of Guns" Line Explains His Smile At The Quote In John Wick 3 The connection to John Wick 3 comes with the final line spoken in The Continental episode 1. After the death of his brother Frankie, Winston takes the injured Yen - Frankie's wife - to Lou and Miles' dojo, two gun runners who helped him earlier in the episode.
For anyone familiar with the John Wick series, this line would have brought a knowing smile after the line was also uttered in John Wick 3. At the end of that film, an older Winston asks John what he needs with John replying exactly the same thing. In John Wick: Chapter 3, Winston flashes John a smile after he hears the line, likely recalling the time he said the same words that seemingly saw him take his first step towards becoming the manager of the New York Continental.
While the line served as a way to honor The Matrix in John Wick 3, The Continental arguably takes this one step further. The line now evokes the John Wick films as much as it originally did The Matrix, meaning it is a reference within a reference to Reeves' outstanding action movie career.
