Recently, Nekki studio presented a new trailer for the cinematic action game Spine - This is Gun Fu. One of the frames of the promo video attracted special attention from players: at a certain moment, the heroine is surrounded and poked in the face with weapons.
Screenshots of this moment spread across social networks, and similar posts garnered a huge number of views. Some players began to suggest replacing the pistols with completely different barrels.
The developers of Spine - This is Gun Fu noticed this and decided to clarify the situation. This frame is simply a reference to the "John Wick" franchise:
The meme with Redline's face has garnered over 100 million views and has gone far beyond our profile. Thank you for sharing it and helping the world learn about the game we are creating. But let's be clear: this frame is a 100% reference to the poster of the movie "John Wick", an iconic example of "Gun Fu" that we deeply respect. We have the same respect for all the heroines who inspired us to create Redline. The rest is a matter of interpretation.
