[Shout out to Warslick!]

[Author's note: I know you're all getting tired of summaries, so am I. So I'm going to post two chapters today to end this summary.]

Hollywood What If Chapter 205

[The leader of the criminals entered the room. He spoke to Bryan Mills and the two had a heated exchange.]

["You killed my son!"]

["He kidnapped my daughter."]

[That was their exchange, but they were both determined. Unfortunately for Bryan Mills, he was at a disadvantage in this situation.]

[The leader sent Lenore into the room. Then he cut her throat!]

The audience gasped, thinking Lenore would die instantly.

[But Lenore didn't die quickly. Instead, she was hanged upside down as blood flowed from her neck.]

To make the scene less gruesome and pass the MPAA rating, Lenore's face was wrapped in a brown cloth sack. To hide the suffering the woman was undergoing. Of course, the person hanging upside down was actually a body double.

Still, it was heartbreaking to see Lenore hanging upside down as the brown sack slowly turned red as the blood continued to stain the fabric.

[Bryan Mills' expression were filled with worry and sadness, but he controlled himself. He then contacted Kim after identifying his location. He successfully escaped his restraints and instructed Kim to throw a gun down the chimney.]

[Kim Mills was spotted by the sniper and attempted to shoot her. Fortunately, Kim Mills had already stopped throwing grenades and started hiding. She was following her father's instructions.]

[Bryan Mills checked on his ex-wife and sighed with relief after confirming that Lenore was all right].

[Then there was another action sequence. Bryan Mills came out of the room and started shooting people.]

[Two of the five snipers were resting and failed to use their rifles at close range. They died at the hands of Bryan Mills. But a gunshot reverberated and Bryan Mills instinctively moved.]

It was a slow motion scene where a rifle bullet flew by close to the actor's head.

[Bryan Mills would have been shot in the head if he hadn't ducked. He looked around and saw a man on the roof of a three-storey building. The location was not far.]

[Determined to finish what he had started, Bryan Mills sprinted into the three-storey building. Little did he know that this time his opponent was Marcus.]

[Marcus and Bryan Mills had a confrontation and started shooting in the stairwell. They easily dodged each other's bullets.]

[But the situation changed when Bryan Mills successfully reached Marcus and fought him hand-to-hand. Even though Marcus was a professional killer, he was weaker against someone like Bryan Mills. Someone who had a particular set of skills.]

[In the end, Marcus made it out of the building, but he was wounded in his left leg. Bryan Mills had clearly won this fight].

The crowd had mixed feelings about this one, but most of them were cheering for Bryan Mills.

In this situation, Bryan Mills had the upper hand from a moral standpoint, while Marcus was a clear enemy. In this film they found the duality of Marcus' character.

Marcus was a good friend to John Wick, he saved his life. But that didn't change the fact that Marcus was a killer. Maybe Marcus wanted to end that career, but for now his status as one of the enemies in this film was clear.

The audience had a great time watching them fight because both Marcus and Bryan Mills were experts. The action choreography in the scene was satisfying.

In the corner of the theatre, Tae-Won Park could not help but smile at the product he had made. He was the stunt director of Taken 2 and The Bourne Identity and his name was becoming famous. Lately, more and more people have been trying to hire him for their projects.

Unfortunately, Tae-Won Park turned them all down. He knew that the Hong Kong film industry and Hollywood were having a negotiation about hiring talents. Tae-Won Park didn't want to be a part of that.

[Fighting Marcus didn't leave Bryan Mills unscathed. He suffered an injury to his right arm, but it was not fatal. At least he could move around easily.]

[Another group of criminals rushed towards Bryan Mills and the protagonist had no choice but to flee. On the way, he met Kim and found a car.]

[The two drove to Lenore's location, only to find that Lenore had been kidnapped again!]

[Bryan Mills and Kim left the location but were pursued by the enemies. As expected, another car chase scene and this time it was much cooler].

No lie, the crew spent almost $2 million just to make this scene happen. They rented a place in Istanbul, let the cars loose, destroyed dozens of cars and shot it.

This was the result of that one week of filming. It was a very adrenaline-pumping scene, with cars racing forward and crashing into concrete walls or flipping over. There was something about cars exploding that made men entertained.

[Kim and Bryan Mills' car drove into the US embassy even though their car was half broken.]

[Once Kim was safe inside the embassy, Bryan Mills decided that this had to end. Using the connection he had made and his experience, he successfully located the place where Lenore was.]

[He entered the house and began killing people in a very quick but cool manner. Getting the attention of the male audience.]

[Bryan Mills found the leader of the criminals and gave him a choice - peace or death. The leader/father chose death and Bryan kicked him to the wall where a sharp protruding blade stabbed the leader.]

[Then Bryan Mills went on to rescue Lenore and left Istanbul peacefully. It was a holiday the whole family would never forget.]

The audience would also never forget this film because the interactions between the characters became clearer and clearer. In this film, Marcus from John Wick fought Bryan Mills and lost, escaping from the protagonist!
