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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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?

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."

Rewatching this made me realise, Kingsman is like a cousin of John Wick. The long creative shots, the beautiful action choreography, the continuity, the fantasy world of assassins/etc hidden in a modern world, Gun Fu, destroying typical spy/action movies, the simple yet interesting stories, every frame is almost beautiful if not beautiful, every acting/face reaction subtleties, every detail, every line delivered. Yes. *ding!

"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

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

Kingsman and Baby driver are some of the most enjoyable movies I have watched.

11:32 Kinda disappointed that Eggsy's swapping of the glasses didn't get a win. To be that good with slight of hand takes a lot of skill and (from my experience) is a lot easier for the 'lower classes' to pick up. That's a win, for me at least.

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.

Another win for me was 'Pomp and circumstance' during the head explosion scene, because it was Eggsy's graduation.

Don't even try understanding English accents, they change from household to household

I love how when valentine shoots Harry he immediately looks away right before he fires. It's a nice touch that definitely deserves a win

7:55 - I absolutely loved on that scene, that they defied the classical trope of the underdog protagonist also having the odds stacked against them. Instead, they just plain lied about the faulty chute. Simple. Effektive. And makes for a hilarious punchline after the "whisper it in my ear" line ^^

When I first watched the church scene I noticed that Galahad tended to kill the people attacking than those being attacked

Never noticed that his hair got longer as the film went on.

Hi! Accent explanation: Eggsy's a chav. That's a kind of degoratory term for a working class person, it implies obnoxiousness, laziness, rudeness, and it specifically refers to urban groups (so, literally everyone Eggsy knows can be categorised as chavvy). He's very deliberately slotted in to chav culture and fashion. The posh Kingsmen recruit boys have what's known as RP, "recieved pronounciation": this is how the Queen speaks, and it's how incredibly rich and upper-class people are taught to speak, so that they don't have any discernable regional accent but instead just sound like they have money, and can therefore 'speak properly'. So the contrast between Eggsy's obviously regional and lower-class London accent and their RP iS meant to illustrate class difference. Colin Firth speaks with kind of RP, but less obnoxiously in-your-face RP (he could just be vaguely rich and Southern), which fits to his character as well - the interesting exception is Arthur, who still sounds London, if more upper-class than Eggsy.

A lot of people seem to wonder about the lisp, find a story reason for it, or seem to think it's unnecessary, but it being unnecessary is why I like it so much. People with lisps exist, and I think it's really cool that they just gave him a lisp and never drew attention to it or said anything about it in the movie. It feels authentic to me because of it.

A proficiency in gymnastics absolutely translates to parkour, considering it’s the foundation for what parkour is. I am a former gymnast and I gotta tell you, running and jumping off of stuff was a lot easier as a gymnast

Eggsy's accent is a London accent, whereas the accent of those other boys is what's commonly known as "Queen's English", or the accent common among the formally educated upper class in England and the one that most Americans think of when they think of British accents

At 10:41 you can see a man in the background hitting a man w a chair super gently😂😂

Thank you, KZfaq, for recommending this 5 years later. I remember seeing this film in theaters, in a suit, with non brogued oxfords of course. My buddy and I dressed to match and we felt badass.

Former Parkour and Gymnastics instructor here. There is actually a huge amount of crossover from both sides. It's quite common in fact to teach the same skills from Gymnastics over to Parkour and Vice Versa.

"Didn't my dad kill you?" My head is hurting from laughing so hard

Sounds like Cinema Wins has a crush on Colin Firth too 😍

I think Colin Firth was literally BORN to wear glasses, irrespective of whether he legitimately needs them or not. He's bring class and a cool blue burn to g'nerdism

The best part of this film was easily the church massacre scene, the perfect use of Freebird in the background too.

Personally , being from England I can tell you that the reason the accents are so diverse is because it completely depends on how and where you were raised

Regarding the church scene - I absolutely love how before the violence "voice signal" is activated, we see Galahad mess with those people the right way - his gay black Jewish boyfriend that works at an abortion clinic

The term “British accent” is one of the most unrealistic things ever. First of all, when people say “British accent”, they only ever mean English, posh English to be precise. Britain contains four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England has possibly the widest range of accents, from Scouse (Liverpool) to Brummy (Birmingham) to the one you’re likely most familiar with, “posh” English. The reason Americans seem to think all of England speak posh is because the only place they hear the English accent is from theatre school refined actors and celebrities. There are 51 cities in England, all of which have different accents. Very different accents. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also have their own wide ranges of accents. So, obviously now you can see why saying “British accent” makes no sense at all. London isn’t the entirety of the UK, yeah?

15:13 The win counter matches up with Harry's blink perfectly 😍

The whole 'foxes are vermin' thing? Very, very real in London. Just... trust me on this one.

I like how most thing’s in this movie he marks as a win would be marked as sin on cinema sins

this is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time, and it always will be.

I love how Valentine and his i guess right hand gal whos name i missed are less in a boss-worker style relationship and they are almost like friends. Like at 11:20 the lady here is trying to comfort Valentine rather than just going to get tha car or calling the chopper in to get back home or something like that. Also Samuel L Jacksons character is perfection as is the whole movie

Church scene alone deserves a 100 wins!

Small justification for the flashy light-show from Valentine's implant explosions. The man said right towards the start that he couldn't stand the sight of blood. Well, those explosions certainly don't look particularly bloody, in case the man had to execute some dissenters down the line.

something I've realized while watching this: in all of the tests that they're given, no one's supposed to die. you're put in a seemingly life or death situation, sure, but you're all supposed to make it out alive, and whoever performed the worst is eliminated. the train test, everyone (even the traitor) is lowered into the tracks. in the skydiving test, while Merlin says that there's one person without a parachute, he was lying to make it more high stakes. and the same can be said for the water room. no one was supposed to die, that girl was an accident. if everyone had worked together, like Merlin mentioned, she would've been kept alive and maybe sent home afterwards. it's really interesting. which makes me personally wonder... did Lancelot (the girl) realize all of this, and that's why she pulled the trigger, and eggsy was just two slow to catch on? I dunno, I've obviously never encountered such situations so I don't know how I'd truly think, but I feel like I'd remember all of the other tests and realize "the dog won't die because this is just another test". but also, kind of a weird test. is it supposed to be "follow your orders no matter how extreme and/or unreasonable"? because if so, even if eggsy didn't know there were blanks in that gun, I still respect the decision to not kill his dog. I would have done the same, because that's a crappy test to give. I get it, the test was to see how loyal to the Kingsmen you'd be, but still a crappy test. "shoot your friend just because I told you to."

The church fight scene needs a 100 wins. Gives me goosebumps 100% of the time and is a better boost than my anti-depressants.

I like the fact its a tailor shop. in war time spies actually went to theese shops for missions.

When I watched the Golden Circle, I asked myself, "Isn't it ironic that the one with good editing and camera work in action scenes is actually not a serious action movie. Hollywood need to learn something." Man, I love the camera works of both Kingsman movie. You can feel the power and speed and excitement. I even didn't care about the CGI because it was really really fun and enjoyable

Henry Jackman's score is just ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT for this movie 😎👍

"No one, and I mean no one, deserves this" in reference to what you've identified as Westboro Baptist Church stand-ins. Try living in the same town with the actual Westboro Baptist Church. Fred Phelps brainwashed and beat his children, true, but some of them escaped him and survived that horror show, and most of them chose to stay in that environment, perpetuate it, and (among other things) torment people grieving their recently-dead relatives, blame every tragedy on their favorite scapegoats, spit on and rip up their country's flag . . . and that's just the stuff they did in public. And all in the service of provoking people into passing laws so they could sue and collect essentially fabricated legal fees through a law firm entirely made up of cult/family members. Do I think the actual WBC *deserves* having someone go berserk and slaughter their entire congregation, or for that congregation to be provoked into doing it to each other? I've stared Fred Phelps in the eye from inches away while he screamed hatred into my face -- let's just say I wouldn't waste a moment regretting it or mourning them if it happened.

The church fight scene is the best fight scene ever put on a screen! And the few cuts that are in the fight are perfectly timed with "Free Bird" absolute perfection. 100% perfection

I can say the being a gymnast really helps with parkour because it really really helps with balance and how to use your body weight the right way so yes it helps a lot for me in this case cause I’m normally really clumsy otherwise it also helps you learn how to land

one of the best things about this movie is how the fights are shot. the continuous panning of the camera and the well hidden cuts make the fights look more fluid and gives the audience more space to really enjoy the impacts and pure pain from every attack. and it uses the environment AND spy toys in a genius way.

2:12 - 2:17 Killing it with the Star Wars references. 😆 In the past few weeks I have completely fallen in love with this channel. And 7:39 is one of the reasons why. All these little hints and references to other movies. It is obvious that you just love good movies or just movies in general and could talk about them and all their aspects for hours and hours. 😄

And did anyone else laugh at Eggsy's first impression of the greeting when he got the shoes I probably shouldn't have, but too late now

Samuel L. Jackson actually has a speech impediment in real life... His cursing actually helps to control the speech impediment...

I like to believe that the tailor shop entrance is an homage to The Man From Uncle, which included a daytime entrance disguised in a small tailor shop.

The concept behind Kingsman, as a tailor shop, is so smart and believable it covers up for all of its strong pretention, and watching people be believably, earnestly pretentious is fun and earned

Ah, another video from Cinema Sin's optimistic cousin... who loves mornings... and also loves everyone with a pulse... and has nothing against Monday.

Manners, *win*, maketh, *win*, man *win*

The two musical action sequences in this film are two of my favorites ,ever. The church fight scenes had some kind of strobe motion effect happening.Shutter speed maybe?In any case it looked GREAT. - Um, assuming we ignore the mass murder part of course..... And the head explosions scenes: Pretty colours with Land Of Hope And Glory as the soundtrack? YES ,please

8:51 actually an Oxford is any formal shoe with a CLOSED lacing system, not open Ding Wait, wrong channel. My bad

Um, actually... Palpatine killed Valentine. Someone had to say it right?

When I saw all the people rioting and beating the shit out of each other when the Sim Cards activated, my thought was: "Hey, did Leeds and Manchester United just finish another game?"

Speaking from my own (but even more so, a lot of my friends) experience, basic gymnastics skills are pretty much a prerequisite for high level parkour. You don't necessarily have to have taken classes but you need to have at least trained yourself in flippy flips. You need good control and understanding of your own body weight

So I actually remember the way I got into this movie, and exactly where it won me. I remember when I watched the trailer I basically said "eh, that seems like a cheesy bad spy movie". And in my defenses, it still is cheesy in its moments. Kingsman was out for years and eventually I walked into the living room where my mom was watching it when it just was something on the channel. I walked in right where they got their puppies and thought "oh that's silly, sure I'll watch this. It seems fun". Low and behold the moment the movie won me. It wasn't the puppy mercy, it wasn't the outfits, it wasn't the spy gentleman, it was the church fight scene. So many action movies have fights that are just bad, unrealistic, or just something that's almost like a copy and paste of previous action flicks. Kingsman cemented itself in my head with that amazing church fight being fun, had a fun song, was brutal, intuitive, along with some decently sized takes between cuts. Later I got into the John wick movies which have quickly become some of my favorites due to fight scenes alone. Just wanted to say that this movie and a big reason why I liked it is because it's a movie that is absolutely cheesy yet silly, but more importantly has great choreography and amazing shots for the fight scenes. Something I'd love to keep seeing.

#MannersMakethMan

I'd just like to make a note that not most people in England have the same accent as Eggsy, that just a London accent, the UK actually has more regional accents than most other countries!

The best part about the accent thing: Taron Egerton’s actual accent does not sound like Eggsy’s because he’s not even British; he’s Welsh😜

pomp and circumstance during the heads popping off sequence is such a great touch

“Ain’t takin the piss guvnah” we don’t all talk like that you know! 😂😂😂 *edit you are correct with gymnastics and parkour it really helps to have some training in gymnastics

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2 John Wick, Chapter 2 Kingsman: The Golden Circle 2017 is the year of sequels to amazing 2014 movies.

That princess ending is top notch. 10/10 Funny punchline too

Mr. Darcy is dashing, especially in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice series.

Anybody just love this channel for how positive it is?

Gymnastics training DEFINITELY helps parkour skills like balance, speed and the tumbles (flips) especially.

"didn't my dad kill you" LMFAO

the line right before the church massacre scene starts is my favorite, and it always amazes me that he was able to say that line with a straight face as it's so funny.

"Everything great about Kingsman" EVERYTHING is great about Kingsman

One thing I noticed (and loved) about the directing of the action scenes, is that when there is a cut, the position on the screen of the focal point of action remains constant across the cut. Otherwise your brain takes a fraction of a second to locate the new bit of action and you miss what happens for the next 1/4 of a second or so, and it's disorientating. This way it's easier and quicker to pick up what's going on and makes the scene easier to follow.

I love Valentine. One of my favorite villains ever. Just so entertaining. And full of personality. And the fact that he was going to play some of the most goofy and upbeat music while mas genocide was happening is so funny. I love it.

Win number 34, yes, there is indeed a crossover, especially for Eggsy, taking into account his marine training as well. Gymnastics teaches you balance, coordination, grip, all things imperative in doing Parkour. Marine training would have helped to accentuate those muscle groups even more (especially the arms and calves)

16:44 'I thought the idea of a round table was to have no head?' 13:25 *Ha*

Really sorry everyone. Not sure why the video is ending at 2:08 on mobile. I have KZfaq looking into it. Super. Annoyed.

My father is a huge Bond fan (local newspaper even called him the biggest James Bond fan in germany) so I grew up with spy movies. He was and still is such a big fan that I got fed up with any kind of Bond movie . And then Kingsman came. And it made all the change. Kingsman might be my favorite spy movies ever.

my favourite line in this movie is "if we was born with the same silver spoon up our arses we'd do just as well as you, if not better." i feel like to fully appreciate eggsy's monologue in that scene you have to have grown up poor in england because it just so perfectly encapsulates a lot of the experience

Fun fact: Amelia (the ONE other female recruit besides Roxy) is actually a Kingswoman that was acting to fake death and convince the others.

you should've given it at least 15 wins for the score, definitely one of the best movie scores in the last few decades. ps. can you do everything great about Hellboy?

The entire church scene when I first saw it made me so anxious, like "bro this sim card is world changing levels of dangerous." Maybe that's because I fear fates worse than death like being turned into a mindless rage machine. Free bird being used here just really makes you feel like you're losing any and all control over everything.

I saw this movie with my father when I was like 5-6. I think this is what sparked my enjoyment for more adult kinda gory-ish entertainment.

1:21 YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY KINGSMAN SUITS For over 1200,- I think.

I think it would be absolutely terrific to see a crossover video of you and CinemaSins. You guys could both commentate on certain scenes, canceling each other out with wins/sins. Seeing seperate videos for the same movie is still entertaining, but I think we could all really benefit from polarizing points of perspective being presented at once.

Just finished both movies so very happy to see you did videos about the two of them!

I love your videos! they always make me watch the movies again :)
