According to the director Chad Stahelski, the scene where a Belgian Malinois peed on Chidi’s dead body, had the most bizarre behind-the-scenes story.

Each movie from Keanu Reeves’ John Wick franchise has its own element of surprise, and fans always know there’s something insane about to happen in the films.

But that’s not the surprising element that we’re about to discuss. Apparently, the ridiculous aspect of that sequence, neither includes Keanu Reeves’ John Wick nor Bill Skarsgård’s Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont.

The bizarre part involves Chad Stahelski’s behind-the-scenes story about dog pee, bullet holes, and Marko Zaror’s Chidi.

“At the end of the day when you get a cool gag with it, when I can get a female dog to lift her leg and pee on my bad guy’s head, they’re like, that’s a good day.

To Marko’s credit, Marko’s like, ‘Yeah, that sounds cool, pee in my bullet hole.’ I’m like, ‘All right, buddy, thanks man.’ It’s good to know my cast is on board.”

Getting his cast and crew on board with the scene, Chad Stahelski had a great time, but the story certainly stunned the interviewer. Although the director got Marko Zaror to agree, the scene eventually had its own challenges, that Stahelski began discussing.

Stunned to hear the story about how Chad Stahelski wanted a dog to pee on the dead body of Marko Zaror’s Chidi, the interviewer was further shocked to know that the actor agreed to do so.

Sportingly accepting the offer, Zaror even wanted the dog to pee in his bullet hole, which stunned the interviewer even more.

There was a pause after Chad Stahelski shared the story. The interviewer was curious to know more about the “pee in my bullet hole” part.

And without missing a beat, the director realized that the interviewer was trying to figure out how to proceed further, after getting such bizarre information. Thus, Stahelski took the initiative and joked about it.

“Don’t know how to say that? I had that moment, too. I don’t know what to say to that. He’s got a very thick Chilean accent, so it sounds even better when he says it.”

But while this particular scene stunned the audience, it was one of the most challenging parts of filming. Chad Stahelski mentioned that for whatever reason, animals and weather have always been the trickiest things to work with.

Describing them as the “bane of our existence”, the director mentioned how he knew the Paris sequence would be a major challenge to overcome.

Ultimately, Chad Stahelski not only succeeded in working with the dog and getting his “cool gag” but also turned Keanu Reeves’ movie into a hit.
