Japanese-British singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama joins them, whilst Stahelski says even Reeves himself upped his martial arts game for this outing:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want Keanu to be better as a martial-art stunt performer\u2026 So he learns the nunchucks, he learns the bow and arrow, he learns all these new tools.
