* The layout of the Continental makes increasingly less sense across the first three movies and appears to grow bigger on the inside. While the entrance lobby stays the same in the first film the bar is hidden down flights of stairs, behind a utility room, and a coin must be inserted in a slot on the door to gain entry. Contrast this to the second film where the bar is shaped differently and appears to be right off of the lobby. In the third film this bar is not scene but no where is a huge "lounge" that appears to be the size of a train station or large city bank. In addition where the glass tower that hosts the executive lounge located in relation to the rooftop garden? The two locations have very different views of the city scape as well.

*** We also see The Director (the NY representative of the Ruska Ruma who runs a ballet assassin outfit) raises orphans from a pretty young age into the assassin lifestyle (and once you're in, it's nigh impossible to get out as the movies show), so if The Director's operation is any indication there is a good chance a significant number of assasins were just [[TykeBomb raised this way]].

* For what it's worth, Zero himself is surprised that John is being allowed to take sanctuary in the NY Continental despite being Excommunicado. Presumably, a regular person like Perkins would not be allowed to do so, but Winston has shown willingness to give John extra considerations or mercy, at times as a part of a larger gambit. As noted above, once he was extended the sanctuary of a Continental that meant Zero could not kill him without also being declared Excommincado, unless the grounds had been deconsecrated. The High Table would probably overlook doing so if it meant Wick's death (ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem), but Winston certainly wouldn't.

* Ernest comes up to John while reading out Dante's Inferno but they're in a section of the library with Eastern-European folklore. Sure, it's believable that The Inferno and Eastern-European folklore would be on the same floor of the New York Public Library but not in spitting distance. Did my guy really follow John into the library and then make the spur of the moment decision to stop and find some Dante so he could make a cultured entrance?

*** Santino mentioned the Mafia (Sicilians), Camorra (Campanians) and 'Ndrangheta (Calabrians) each have their own seat. So southern Italian mobsters have three seats out of the 12. It's possible that the High Table isn't that diverse, different Russian and Chinese gangs could have multiple seats too, mostly filling the positions we weren't told about.

** Bringing John into Berrada's castle was the kind of dangerous, career-jeopardizing thing Sofia would have never done without that Marker. She smuggled guns into Berrada's inner sanctum, knowing that things could go to shit, and they did. And they went to shit by Berrada shooting the dog, which in this series is definitely punishable by death and loads and loads of henchman death. Considering Berrada got really close to the hidden guns, he probably figured out there was something fishy going on and wanted to start the shootout on his own terms, but didn't consider what it meant to take on John Wick and his DistaffCounterpart at once.

** Charon and John were using combat master bullets, Charon even went into a long spiel about how they are basically shooting them with something that should go through armor. No reason to think the Continental soldiers didn't already have the same ammo as John in their pistols and got surprised by the upgrade. John hits harder because he is pinging their mask and body while less trained marksmen are hitting them center of mass so the Hight Table squad are braced to it.

** Also worth noting is that markers and favors appear to influence how the High Table responds to a transgression regarding excommunicado individuals. The Bowery King was given seven (assumed) fatal wounds, and Winston was marked for death for helping John with no favors or markers to justify their choices. Meanwhile the Director had several of her men killed and her hands mutilated, but she survived despite helping John, likely because she was honoring the favor John was owed. Sophie is implied to have suffered no consequences for helping John due to him cashing in his Marker.

* The Continental has its own people who deal with troublemakers (as seen with Perkins in the first movie). So if someone comes to the hotel, but is unable to hire its services (whether due to lack of funds or Excommunicado status), they will be either killed or ejected from the premises by the Continental staff ... and if they have a bounty on their head, that money is the Continental's to collect. It's not that the Continental was protecting John (at least initially); it's that Zero didn't have jurisdiction to pursue him there.

*** Considering that payment on contracts is probably in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars at minimum, with higher-level contracts being in the millions, each assassin probably only needs to carry out a couple of hits a year to live quite comfortably. Santino's contract on John is also an "open" contract, implying there are exclusive "closed" ones as well, so individual killers probably line up individual contracts for themselves on specific targets. There's also the fact that John Wick worked for a specific mafia outfit, so quite a few of these assassins are probably held on retainer for various organizations. In addition, it looks like at least some of the "assassins" who go after John aren't full-time assassins but part of some other criminal groups who were notified of the bounty and decided to take a swing at John.

Remember that the heavily-armed criminal underworld beneath the High Table doesn't just consist of assassins but all kinds of illegal activity.
