Everything GREAT About Kingsman: The Secret Service!

UK - Kingsman USA - Statesman Canada - Maplesman? Australia - HughJackman?

A detail I didn't see mentioned is the fact that only Eggsy was able to tell that it was one way glass because he was probably the only candidate who had been in police custody before due to his rougher upbringing

Samuel Jackson grew up with a lisp and learned to over come it. He decided to bring it back, because he thought that Valentine would be isolated because of it, and that would shape his attitude towards people.

Half this video is just fanboying over Colin Firth and I’m here for it

As a British person, I can confirm that at birth we were given a choice: Rufus’s accent or Eggsy’s.

“Don’t be ridiculous, it’s a hand grenade” “Shut up” Favourite line in the movie

One more thing that’s detail intensive is the Change of Eggsy’s view of his dog. When he first gets it he says “I will shoot you” and later he is willing to give up Kingsman for his dog.

Fun fact: during the church scene, after the grendade goes off, Harry realises what is going on for a few seconds because of the ringing in his ears blocking the sound waves.

10:45 one moment I’m sad didn’t get mentioned about the church fight (even though yes, it was very easy to miss) was there’s a moment where Galahad slips a grenade into a guys pocket and when it goes off near him, Galahad suffers some hearing loss with a ringing in his ears for a few seconds and during them you can see a slight look of horror come over his face as he comes to his senses since he can’t hear the rage signal coming from everyone’s phones and realizes what he’s doing...right before he recovers, can hear the phones again, and goes right back to destroying everyone else in that room. That’s like an extra 10 win for detail in my book

Colin Firth is the ONLY reason my Dad went and saw this movie with me. “Eh.” Colin Firth appears “Colin Firth is in this? I’m in.”

“Does a proficiency for gymnastics translate to parkour skills?” Yes; 100% it does. Being able to throw your weight around while also keeping your balance is essentially parkour in a nutshell. All you need to do to translate gymnastics to parkour is add a ‘get from here to there’ ingenuity.

I have this theory that Michael Caine’s character was originally given a poor upbringing similar to Eggsy, or even worse. The evidence that I have to support this is his numerous derogatory comments throughout the film about commoners like Eggsy not being fit for this agency (internalized shame about his past) and near the end when eggsy poisons him and he begins cursing him in his last moments, his accent changes to some thing that sounds much less proper than it had been before, as if he was dropping the act. His ascension from lower class peasant to ‘Arthur’ had caused him to look down on others in such situations, like eggsy and his father. Am I reaching too far on this one?

Just imagine Kingsman but with John Wick. "Shoot the dog" "..." "Please don't shoot me"

"A proficiency in gymnastics translates to parkour skills" Tom Holland.

"if a proficiency in gymnastics translates to parkour skills" Flashes back to my old gymnastics coach teaching us how to run on and flip off walls because this man lived on parkour and red bull Yeah I think it does

What I especiallyove about the church-scene: despite Harry being driven by blind rage he is still killing with the efficiency of a highly trained assassin but retains credibility by receiving a few blows himself. God it is glorious!

I'm genuinely surprised there wasn't a win for the Merlin's response to Eggsy going "Merlin I'm Fucked" "As am I" I don't know why I love this line so much

Fun fact; the "pour gin while looking at an unopened bottle of vermouth" is a reference to Winston Churchill, probably the most famous Englishman of all time, who also is famously quoted as ordering martinis using variants of the phrase. For instance: "I would like to observe the vermouth from across the room while I drink my martini." or "Glance at the vermouth bottle briefly while pouring the juniper distillate freely." or "Churchhill famously said the only way to make a martini was with ice-cold gin, and a bow in the direction of France."

8:00 missed one of my favourite parts, merlin speaks in entirely hypotheticals. "like what to do if one of your group doesnt have a parachute" and then its revealed they all have parachutes. they would not gamble one of the potential best candadits because they were the unlucky one and the rest didnt help them

When I first watched the movie I honestly thought Eggsy passed the Dog test at first. It was stated during the training that the key is Teamwork. So the test of shoot your team seemed too disconnected from there code.
