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
it always bothered me why he was punching it instead of elbowing it. not only is the elbow a narrower surface, it can deliver much more powerful hits due to the position of the pectoral as the blow lands combined with the sheer thickness of the bone there, as opposed to the small, breakable bones in one's hand. and there's also much less damageable tissue on the elbow.
@@RaindropsBleeding Might because in water, its hard to be in a position to use the elbows. He had to grab onto something on the bottom ledge of the mirror. Also, he might've had very little time to think;')
@@deniselai5145 I still think elbows *could* have been used, but that second point is valid. In high intensity situations we revert to our most basic level of training. So yeah I guess a punch was more automatic
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
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.
I heard in an interview somewhere he based the idea on the old Bond villains who always had some kind of physical abnormality. Now there's a freaking awesome actor!!!!!
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.
@@louiselo8380 Yup, both JB and Roxannes Poodle are full grown by this point, which means we're looking at at least 12-18 months depending on how old the pups were at the start.
haha close..but "I'm a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. Hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon madam" is one of the most hilarious metal quotes ever, especially to one of those lunatic westboro zealots
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: 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.
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!
“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.
100% Plus the most parkoury thing in that escape was the initial kong vault, which I remember doing something similar in a gymnastics warm up class once.
@@slothman3981 Also, Eggsy’s marine training would have only strengthened his muscles especially the ones in his arms and legs, which are what end up under the most strain during parkour.
That and they didn't just say he was proficient in gymnastics they said he could've been an Olympic gold medalists so he was incredibly good. That on top of his military training, which would've strengthened his body and mind. It would translate pretty good. You might not be amazing right off rip but I'm sure he has had practice running from cops or those goons
Saw a pair of videos that took a group of gymnasts through a crash course in parkour, and vice verse. While there was a carryover of each's original style, both groups took to the other's extremely quickly and skillfully.
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."
My favourite story of Churchill is actually about his smoking habits. He used to put basically a metal needle through his cigars so that as he smoked lower and lower, the ash would stay on the needle instead of just falling off. Apparently done as an intimidation thing. Which is pretty cool, shame the dudes not exactly someone worth idolizing lmao
yup, training of balance and body awareness in gymnastics is very extensive. its especially good for girls because of our training for beam. You have to be in full control of your body and mind to do flips on a plank thats as wide as a palm. you get over fear of falling and heights too, they teach you how to fall without hurting yourself. it translates well into parkour.
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
A personal headcannon I have is that the parachutes would activate automatically at a certain distance from the ground, but when Eggsy and Rox were holding onto each other, it deactivated the system
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.
@@roberine7241 And I think that's worth a win for that foreshadowing, as well as showing that, in a sense, Harry/Galahad was a much better agent than Arthur was, precisely because of Arthur's myopia.
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?
If we take Caine's personal history into account, such as being dragged in Britain for his accent in his breakout role in Zulu, it adds more credibility to this hypothesis.
That was exactly my take the first time I watched it; the last few words before he dies were definitely 'Working Class Londoner'. I liked that little touch of juxtaposition and hypocrisy
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!
John wick is more of a homage to action movies in general and kingsman is homage to spy movies, I love both tho, they’re both my favorite action movies
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.
All the previous tests (bar the rising water one) were meant to drill "Kingsman will not try to harm you" into the head of trainees. The parachute. The train. They both showed the candidates that they were never in actual danger. Had Eggsy seen through that last bluff, he would have known that the gun was shooting blanks. Though its also this bit of skepticism that kept him on edge during his conversation with Arthur later.
@@SennaHawx I was never sure what the deal was - whether he was expected to actually kill the dog, or if he was expected to trust that they wouldn't make him kill the dog. The fact that Colin Firth's dog was dead and stuffed didn't help - was he dead because of old age, or was he dead because Firth shot him? If Firth's dog was alive then it would be obvious the choice was to shoot and the result would still be a live dog. But with a dead dog, you just don't know. I like to think that the Kingsmen were such good guys that they wouldn't allow the dog to be killed, but it could also be that the most important thing to them is obedience, in which case killing the dog would align with their goals.
@@ColinFox well if the dog was shot the stuffed version might have not looked as good as it did considering it is a small dog. though the gun was maybe 9mm (not sure did not really take a close look at it) so still on the smaller end and people that create stuffed animals probably know how to deal with bulletholes.
"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
Holy shit you had that too? Although my coach was primarily focused on freerunning and navigating natural obstacles. Coach Greggs accepted three certainties in his life: Taxes, rockstar, and red bull.
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 ^^
Super late reply, but I like to think that's his combat training taking hold even if he was in a violent rage. His drilled instincts all kept pointing him to "eliminate the biggest threats, ignore the lesser threats for later" and guiding his body subconsciously.
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
Fangirl-Philosopher However about 20 years ago the queen stopped speaking REAL queen's English and language like this is rare apart from amongst those of us who want to confuse Americans. It's HILARIOUS to watch americans get confused by our accent.
Zachary That Guy What's really hilarious is talking specifically with words only we use, while they are trying to understand whether you insulted them or not.
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.
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
@John Goblikon is my spirit animal They're clumsy in day to day life, but not when they're doing something acrobatically. That makes perfect sense, since it's an active action rather than a passive one.
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.
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.
But did you notice the joke about St. Andrews being the possible school of eggsey. All the royals having been there somehow suggesting there not posh enough.
Kevin Best yeah, I think the joke is meant to be that the third best university (and third oldest) in the U.K. is somehow less upper-class because they're just *that* elitist that they have to go to Oxbridge. Also though - despite Prince William going there, St Andrews actually has a really diverse student body in terms of where they come from, there are a lot of Americans and Europeans and people from other places, so that might have something to do with it.
It doesn't hurt the stereotype that St Andrews is way off in the middle of nowhere, rather than an hour from Westminster, so tends to be ignored by those wanting to enter the corridors of power.
My younger sister went through a phase where she picked up accents really damn fast and accidentally slipped into them and that statement us waaaay too accurate. I've heard her ask "Where are you going for food and can you bring some back for me" and I swear to fuck she slippef through like 7 accents in that one sentence, actual nightmare
This is so true however sometimes in a household it varies between people too. In my house I have more of a colin accent but my sister has an eggsy one
@@natashadarko3066 same as me and my brother, we're both brought up in South East London (or Sath Eas init) but me and my bruv are totally different, me being more rp and him being more...eggsy lol
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.
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
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
The reason accents are diverse is because it’s a very old country and people didn’t travel outside of their villages until around 100-150 years ago (when transportation became more accessible). In isolation, accents will evolve differently
@@funkyfranx just remembered that joke on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where the british butler Jeffrey could identify the new british nanny‘s hometown down to the street name just from her accent. And so could she from his
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
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
Thank you, RUclips, 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.
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.
This is hinestly pretty genius when you think about it becuase they are able to make a convincing fight scene like that. Ussually that desorientation is used to distract you from all the fake punches.
@@boomeronet7888 to be honest I did not, but maybe because it's too close and personnal for me as it is for many continental Europeans. I had 2 grand-parents in camps, one hiding and one a resistance member. I get the joke, and it's fine to laugh at it but... I don't
Strike Ecozzocn well freerunning(what he does) is part of parcour/parkour, which is than is part the general term of gymnastic. And you will definitely have an advantage of you did gymnastics before or if you do parcour/parkour
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
True, the final battle was really awesome. I would recommend watch it in theater with one thing in mind: "It's more absurd than the first one." If you can accept that, then go watch it.
Kuroblack indeed. Though I've seen people hating it because it is so over the top and absurd. That's why I gave that warning. Just a little heads up so they know what to expect
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
4:24 With personal experience, yes it does, it does a lot. From someone that has a background of both I can say that it does lay down a big foundation that can then make learning parkour skills a lot easier as a lot of the technique is easily interchangeable.
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!
Although unfortunately due to television etc. there is a lot of homogenisation underway. Interesting also to note the sad decline of "cockney" -- now endangered in London and flourishing more in Essex. It's been replaced by a relatively new accent called "Multiculti London".
18:29 The Chinese secret service actually does have a recognizable name. It's called the Ministry of State Security, unless comrade Xinping has changed it lately.
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.
He’s got a stutter, I also have one and can confirm that cursing helps “reset” my brain so that I can get through the word/sentence I’m tripping up on!
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
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.
I think it wouldnt work. Wins gives actual praise and makes nice comments, while Sins makes self-condradictory pseudo-criticism mixed in with criticism based in misunderstanding and not correcting himself with later information the film provides.
@@inkedseaheardid you ever watch one of the videos critiquing cinemasins? Even the pretencious ones like "cinemasins is wrong about everything". If they always played this extremely cynical character it'd be fine. But jokey, non-serious criticism is mixed in with actual opinions on the movies, and many times what they claim.to be jokes has been said by them out of character in vlogs. Its inconsistent, and they use "its a joke" as an excuse for being extremely poor critics even when its their genuine opinion.
I'm surprised noones just made a channel of taking sins and wins on the same movie and putting them together to see how one man sins what another man wins
@@KenshiImmortalWolf Actually, Pokesins does that with Pokemon Episodes. ... Kind of. The score is Always negative, because There is Clear emphasis for the sins but regularly, he point out good things, even in the worst episodes. But Yeah, Only Pokemon Episodes, Sadly
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."
@@ShugoAWay Yep, she was a plant, as Harry admitted later, to sell the 'teamwork' aspect and give a shock to the candidates' egos and initial perceptions. That said, the dog test was still something that left a bad taste in my mouth as it felt like the most dissonant part of the themes as well.
CinemaWin video for: Mission Impossible Rogue Nation The Mummy trilogy Indiana Jones trilogy Toy Story trilogy (mainly 3rd one) Wall-e Lion King Jurassic Park/World Lord of the Rings trilogy Hobbit trilogy GodFather
11:56 fun fact: that is called a rinse. its often done with more potent spirits like absinth. Vermouth, being a fortified wine, this is actually a very reasonable request.
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.
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?
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. 😄
England is a very diverse place as far as accents go (not even including the rest of the UK). It stems from centuries ago when people lived in the same region for their entire life, so every few dozen miles you may get a distinctly different dialect. America never really had this phase, since it's a young country which has been in cultural flux for the last few centuries, and recent years have brought about the commonality of long-distance travel. Eggsy has a stereotypical East London accent (i think). The "posh boys" speak with Received Pronunciation English, which isn't really native to anywhere but originated near London. RP English is indicative of class rather than geographic origin. If you want to hear other English accents, "Hot Fuzz" and "Wallace and Gromit" are good places to start. Most of the characters in Hot Fuzz speak with a West Country accent (native to the South-West of England, and associated with farmers), and the characters in Wallace and Gromit typically speak with a Lancastrian accent, which is native to Lancaster in the north of England.
Every country has their different dialects. Im from Denmark and we are tiny and have like 5-7 different dialects... :D Also, if you want a good tv show with amazing English accents then watch Peaky Blinders, the Birmingham dialect in the show is on point for the middle class in that time period.
Umm, they're not "Kingsman" suits. They're just "suits". They were around LONG before the movie came out. Shops on Savile Row in London have been producing bespoke (custom tailored) suits for over 200 years.
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?"
“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
Harry cuckhold is someone who is cheated on by their spouse. The moronic word chuck is derived from it but has been interpreted as an inferior man. They don’t work interchangeably.
Question: is she actually an agent? Because apparently Kingsman agents are given codenames base on Knights of the Round Table, and there are only 10 seats in the meeting table. Shouldn't she just be a staff like Merlin?
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
5:46 you can tell by looking at Charlies friends that their pants are interchangeable with each others to make a full suit. kinda cool showing that they are basically both secondary bullies which could be swapped with each other because they are practically the nameless goons. I have watched the movie so many times and haven’t noticed that.
@@jameson1239 ye pretty much and they both need flexibility more so for gymnastics though which means that he would be in an even better position to start parkour I'd he wanted to
Can you do an "Everything GREAT About The Grey". It is such an underrated and misunderstood film with some incredibly powerful scenes and an even more powerful message that make it one of the most memorable films I have ever watched.
Really do love The Grey specially that last scene "Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day." Very powerful.
AirShark95 I'm sorry but I'd never watch that movie. They killed real wolves just for the scene where they eat wolves, and used the real carcasses. So... yeah. It was kinda fucked up. If you like it, that's fine, but I would never watch it.
Pheonyx Jay please state your sources, as I have watched this film multiple times, and done a lot of research, even as far as watching all the way to the end of the credits to see "no animals were harmed in the making of this film." So please send me a source to your comment and I'll have an intellectual conversation with you about it.
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
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?
Tis the exact same thing as the American accent. We have more variety than any collection of countries and that's within a single state, much less the entire country.
Volcanolord's Channel exactly, it’s like when they do the “American accent” we start complaining saying that’s a California accent and not the whole country
Actually, I'd contest that assertion. "British accent" is a totally appropriate alternative term for RP, because people from all over the UK who have that sort of education or social background have it. The actress Rose Leslie is a born and bred jock, but she has an RP accent. The Duke of Wellington was Anglo-Irish, but spoke RP.
@@KyunaCookies and as they said "Cambridge or Oxford" Its called a posh accent for a reason. I mean, my Queen and the royals in general in Denmark also speaks very "Old School" in that they sound fancy, where us normal folk have transitioned away from that. Its honestly just a fun little joke that all rich, entitled people speak posh English in the UK. It just shows, like with the clothes how different Egsy is from the rest of the recruits and how the Kingsmen usually only employ well educated people from good earning families.
Koto & Ray my friend who went to university in wales was served in a pub by him more than once. he naturally has a lot of freckles on his face they cover with makeup in films.
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
That's why that snobby dude (forgot his name) said "probably seen enough of 'em" after Merlin congratulates eggsy on spotting it was a one way mirror.
whoa a very nice detail indeed
it always bothered me why he was punching it instead of elbowing it. not only is the elbow a narrower surface, it can deliver much more powerful hits due to the position of the pectoral as the blow lands combined with the sheer thickness of the bone there, as opposed to the small, breakable bones in one's hand. and there's also much less damageable tissue on the elbow.
@@RaindropsBleeding Might because in water, its hard to be in a position to use the elbows. He had to grab onto something on the bottom ledge of the mirror. Also, he might've had very little time to think;')
@@deniselai5145 I still think elbows *could* have been used, but that second point is valid. In high intensity situations we revert to our most basic level of training. So yeah I guess a punch was more automatic
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
Great call
I didn't notice that!!! Thats so cool!!!
Wow. I never noticed that. Awesome catch.
Holy. Shit. I never spotted that! And that is SPOT ON!! WELL DONE!!
Wow! That's "Baby Driver" kind of detail. Love attention to detail like that.
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.
Didn't the word "motherfucker" help him get over his lisp?
I heard in an interview somewhere he based the idea on the old Bond villains who always had some kind of physical abnormality. Now there's a freaking awesome actor!!!!!
I was wondering how he managed to nail the whistle. That's the hardest part of a lisp to do (if you're faking it that is).
heard it was a speech impediment. Said one of the things that helped him was saying "m****f****."
@@STR202 I would love to hear him say that in his lisp... like the best greeting ever. "What'th up mother f***erth?"
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.
Well it’s quite easy to get attached to a dog
The dog also shows how much time has passed. It's not just Eggsy's hair
@@louiselo8380 Yup, both JB and Roxannes Poodle are full grown by this point, which means we're looking at at least 12-18 months depending on how old the pups were at the start.
Eggsy's dog is a Pug it's just to cute to hurt,
“Don’t be ridiculous, it’s a hand grenade”
“Shut up”
Favourite line in the movie
Nah, best line is "Oh my God that was fucking spectacular"
haha close..but "I'm a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. Hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon madam"
is one of the most hilarious metal quotes ever, especially to one of those lunatic westboro zealots
My favourite line is Merlin shouting the worlds gone to shit
@@KaladinVegapunk Actor:How much Non-Christian things should i say??
Director:Just a f-
Actor:Says exactly what you said*
“Manners...Maketh....Man” Best line
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
😂
I love so much of Merlins dialogue but this moment was good lol
Mark Strong always understands the assignment. One of my favorite actors.
It went from "Merlin I'm fucked" to "Merlin I'm fucking" in about five minutes.
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.
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!
“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.
100% Plus the most parkoury thing in that escape was the initial kong vault, which I remember doing something similar in a gymnastics warm up class once.
@@slothman3981 Also, Eggsy’s marine training would have only strengthened his muscles especially the ones in his arms and legs, which are what end up under the most strain during parkour.
That and they didn't just say he was proficient in gymnastics they said he could've been an Olympic gold medalists so he was incredibly good. That on top of his military training, which would've strengthened his body and mind. It would translate pretty good. You might not be amazing right off rip but I'm sure he has had practice running from cops or those goons
Saw a pair of videos that took a group of gymnasts through a crash course in parkour, and vice verse. While there was a carryover of each's original style, both groups took to the other's extremely quickly and skillfully.
yea out of like any sport gymnastics would probably translate the best into parkour
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."
opey2dope filmed in a church 5 mins from my house in Surrey
Churchhill isn't the most famous English ever your better picking an actor or someone like Henry the 8th
Winston Churchill most famous? Half the English actors or Henry the 8th Elizabeth 1st a lot more people are more famous even Tom Holland is maybe xD
My favourite story of Churchill is actually about his smoking habits.
He used to put basically a metal needle through his cigars so that as he smoked lower and lower, the ash would stay on the needle instead of just falling off. Apparently done as an intimidation thing.
Which is pretty cool, shame the dudes not exactly someone worth idolizing lmao

"A proficiency in gymnastics translates to parkour skills"
Tom Holland.
Most parkour artists have done gymnastics, so yeah, Tom speaks the truth
@@dancingcarapace Did you use that profile pic cuz he was talking about Tom Holland??
I mean if you really think about it, parkour is just improv gymnastics
The guy who plays eggsy kinda looks like Tom holland
yup, training of balance and body awareness in gymnastics is very extensive. its especially good for girls because of our training for beam. You have to be in full control of your body and mind to do flips on a plank thats as wide as a palm. you get over fear of falling and heights too, they teach you how to fall without hurting yourself. it translates well into parkour.
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
A personal headcannon I have is that the parachutes would activate automatically at a certain distance from the ground, but when Eggsy and Rox were holding onto each other, it deactivated the system
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
Probably how it went through the eye instead of through the head.
Alex Massie Yoooo that makes sense
@@jedijam91 The eye is part of the head.
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.
he also pulls the same trick earlier with the handgrenade, but Galahad notices and tells him to put the grenade back.
@@roberine7241 And I think that's worth a win for that foreshadowing, as well as showing that, in a sense, Harry/Galahad was a much better agent than Arthur was, precisely because of Arthur's myopia.
Also how when he realised he was poisoned, Arthur's gentlemanly charade broke down. This also should have been a win.
Never noticed that his hair got longer as the film went on.
Talking Box he’s gradually becoming more posh. The hair gets quiffed and stuff too

@@olliemad I fucking choked, you beautiful bastard. Fuck I'm still laughing typing this out
noggin306 do you happen to use reddit or tumblr?
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?
If we take Caine's personal history into account, such as being dragged in Britain for his accent in his breakout role in Zulu, it adds more credibility to this hypothesis.
That was exactly my take the first time I watched it; the last few words before he dies were definitely 'Working Class Londoner'. I liked that little touch of juxtaposition and hypocrisy
Probably not reaching to far
Not at all, one of my favourite understated moments of this film is the way Michael Caine slips back into his native cockney just before Arthur dies.
Definitely not teaching too far. My headcanon is exactly this and the slip into the cockney at the end is conclusive proof...in my headcanon 😂
Just imagine Kingsman but with John Wick.
"Shoot the dog"

@@NotScy Dude, I was thinking the same thing.
That shit would be crazy!
Ruben Ganeshaan Kingsman wouldn’t even exist
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!
John wick=serious
Kingsman = goofy serious
John wick is more of a homage to action movies in general and kingsman is homage to spy movies, I love both tho, they’re both my favorite action movies
I would say that kingsman is the more self-aware one, but definitely the british cousin. John wick is far more American
You forgot the suits
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.
All the previous tests (bar the rising water one) were meant to drill "Kingsman will not try to harm you" into the head of trainees. The parachute. The train. They both showed the candidates that they were never in actual danger. Had Eggsy seen through that last bluff, he would have known that the gun was shooting blanks.
Though its also this bit of skepticism that kept him on edge during his conversation with Arthur later.
@@SennaHawx I was never sure what the deal was - whether he was expected to actually kill the dog, or if he was expected to trust that they wouldn't make him kill the dog. The fact that Colin Firth's dog was dead and stuffed didn't help - was he dead because of old age, or was he dead because Firth shot him? If Firth's dog was alive then it would be obvious the choice was to shoot and the result would still be a live dog. But with a dead dog, you just don't know.
I like to think that the Kingsmen were such good guys that they wouldn't allow the dog to be killed, but it could also be that the most important thing to them is obedience, in which case killing the dog would align with their goals.
@@ColinFox It was said in the movie that Firth's dog died of old age
@@ColinFox well if the dog was shot the stuffed version might have not looked as good as it did considering it is a small dog. though the gun was maybe 9mm (not sure did not really take a close look at it) so still on the smaller end and people that create stuffed animals probably know how to deal with bulletholes.
@@SennaHawx He died of pancreantitis, which is the only reason I know that word
"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
Holy shit you had that too? Although my coach was primarily focused on freerunning and navigating natural obstacles.

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 ^^
Another win for me was 'Pomp and circumstance' during the head explosion scene, because it was Eggsy's graduation.
When I first watched the church scene I noticed that Galahad tended to kill the people attacking than those being attacked
Super late reply, but I like to think that's his combat training taking hold even if he was in a violent rage. His drilled instincts all kept pointing him to "eliminate the biggest threats, ignore the lesser threats for later" and guiding his body subconsciously.
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
More specifically, it's a South London accent. There are different accents in different parts of London
Yea basically the are what are known by most as "posh twats"
Lads, let's not forget the ever-so useful "posh cunts"
Fangirl-Philosopher However about 20 years ago the queen stopped speaking REAL queen's English and language like this is rare apart from amongst those of us who want to confuse Americans.
It's HILARIOUS to watch americans get confused by our accent.
Zachary That Guy What's really hilarious is talking specifically with words only we use, while they are trying to understand whether you insulted them or not.
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.
And it was also explained that it "superheats soft tissue" meaning it becomes plasma, and plasma can be in any multitude of colors.
Omg I never realized that
Science......Making gore palatable and make sense at the same time
David Harder Yeah, that’s a really neat touch, and a fun justification to have a darkly comedic set piece.
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
So this is a year late, but I'm really curious; what actions are helped by gymnastic training, and which are still clumsy?
@John Goblikon is my spirit animal They're clumsy in day to day life, but not when they're doing something acrobatically. That makes perfect sense, since it's an active action rather than a passive one.
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.
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.
Michael Caine will be Michael Caine
Came to talk about the accents but you said it all pretty well
But did you notice the joke about St. Andrews being the possible school of eggsey. All the royals having been there somehow suggesting there not posh enough.
Kevin Best yeah, I think the joke is meant to be that the third best university (and third oldest) in the U.K. is somehow less upper-class because they're just *that* elitist that they have to go to Oxbridge. Also though - despite Prince William going there, St Andrews actually has a really diverse student body in terms of where they come from, there are a lot of Americans and Europeans and people from other places, so that might have something to do with it.
It doesn't hurt the stereotype that St Andrews is way off in the middle of nowhere, rather than an hour from Westminster, so tends to be ignored by those wanting to enter the corridors of power.
I like the fact its a tailor shop. in war time spies actually went to theese shops for missions.
Man From UNCLE had a front tailor shop, Del Floria's
It’s a coincidence that Colin Firth’s character in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy has the code name Tailor.

Don't even try understanding English accents, they change from household to household
My younger sister went through a phase where she picked up accents really damn fast and accidentally slipped into them and that statement us waaaay too accurate.
I've heard her ask "Where are you going for food and can you bring some back for me" and I swear to fuck she slippef through like 7 accents in that one sentence, actual nightmare
Can confirm. We have some amazing ones
Manchester and Liverpool are good examples, something like 30miles apart and totally different accents, also London has, what, 5 accents?
This is so true however sometimes in a household it varies between people too. In my house I have more of a colin accent but my sister has an eggsy one
@@natashadarko3066 same as me and my brother, we're both brought up in South East London (or Sath Eas init) but me and my bruv are totally different, me being more rp and him being more...eggsy lol
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.
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
Maybe for filming but not even in the top 100 for fighting skills or anything else. Any martial artist would say the same 👍
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
Finn Smyth as with every accent known to man
The reason accents are diverse is because it’s a very old country and people didn’t travel outside of their villages until around 100-150 years ago (when transportation became more accessible). In isolation, accents will evolve differently

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.
This is hinestly pretty genius when you think about it becuase they are able to make a convincing fight scene like that. Ussually that desorientation is used to distract you from all the fake punches.

Gymnastics training DEFINITELY helps parkour skills like balance, speed and the tumbles (flips) especially.
Laura Spillane but they aren’t completely transferable
Strike Ecozzocn well freerunning(what he does) is part of parcour/parkour, which is than is part the general term of gymnastic. And you will definitely have an advantage of you did gymnastics before or if you do parcour/parkour
It also gives great control and feel for the orientation of your body as it moves through the air

Also Samuel L Jacksons character is perfection as is the whole movie
4:24
With personal experience, yes it does, it does a lot. From someone that has a background of both I can say that it does lay down a big foundation that can then make learning parkour skills a lot easier as a lot of the technique is easily interchangeable.
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!
Regan Downing like Geordie, Scouse, Yorkshire to name a few
If memory serves right. The accents in the uk change roughly every 25 miles.
Of course its not just some Londoners, get a lot of Chavs all over trying to sound like Eggys. But we try not to talk about that horrible lot.
Although unfortunately due to television etc. there is a lot of homogenisation underway. Interesting also to note the sad decline of "cockney" -- now endangered in London and flourishing more in Essex. It's been replaced by a relatively new accent called "Multiculti London".

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."
Actually the drowned girl was fine
@@ShugoAWay Yep, she was a plant, as Harry admitted later, to sell the 'teamwork' aspect and give a shock to the candidates' egos and initial perceptions. That said, the dog test was still something that left a bad taste in my mouth as it felt like the most dissonant part of the themes as well.

fun fact: that is called a rinse. its often done with more potent spirits like absinth. Vermouth, being a fortified wine, this is actually a very reasonable request.
Um, actually... Palpatine killed Valentine. Someone had to say it right?
Indeed yes.
Thank you again Cinemawins and you are forever awesome.
👍🏻x100
PS: EGA John Carter soon please.
Will you do the original Star Wars trilogy leading up to the last Jedi?
CinemaWins Correcting your own mistakes! That's a win, right?
CinemaWins Another awesome video, man! Love your content.
Could you do EGA Hardcore Henry? That movie was so amazing! Can't believe it flooped.
CinemaWins U N L I M I T E D P O W E R
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.
i gotta say
i genuinely laughed at the "Its just a flesh wound bit" Love Monty Python
Good job CinemaWins
I love how you just compliment Colin Firth. Like all the time!
He's even more fitting to the role after King's speech.
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?
YES PLEASE. I love Hellboy!
I wouldn't say one of the best in the last couple decades
I love the score, but I'm not a crazy fanboy
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. 😄
"This is how you do product placement"
Agreed, still, humor with the placements is even better, just taking
Waynes world - i will not bow any sponsors
I'm disappointed the twinkies and wine pairing didn't get a win.

England is a very diverse place as far as accents go (not even including the rest of the UK). It stems from centuries ago when people lived in the same region for their entire life, so every few dozen miles you may get a distinctly different dialect. America never really had this phase, since it's a young country which has been in cultural flux for the last few centuries, and recent years have brought about the commonality of long-distance travel.
Eggsy has a stereotypical East London accent (i think). The "posh boys" speak with Received Pronunciation English, which isn't really native to anywhere but originated near London. RP English is indicative of class rather than geographic origin.
If you want to hear other English accents, "Hot Fuzz" and "Wallace and Gromit" are good places to start. Most of the characters in Hot Fuzz speak with a West Country accent (native to the South-West of England, and associated with farmers), and the characters in Wallace and Gromit typically speak with a Lancastrian accent, which is native to Lancaster in the north of England.
Grymbaldknight every region of the US has various accents.
@@karmicobsession1636 Yes, but a distinct accent every dozen or so miles? I think not.
Grymbaldknight yea there’s plenty of different accents and dialects of language all over the states. America is huge
Unincognito sure I don’t care enough to try to prove otherwise
Every country has their different dialects. Im from Denmark and we are tiny and have like 5-7 different dialects... :D
Also, if you want a good tv show with amazing English accents then watch Peaky Blinders, the Birmingham dialect in the show is on point for the middle class in that time period.
That princess ending is top notch.
10/10
Funny punchline too
Manners, *win*, maketh, *win*, man *win*
Probably my favourite fight scene fucking ever
Do you know what that means?
Eggsy, I'm gonna shove your manners up your fucking arse!
@@dongchankim2417 late reply but it essentially means that your manners make who you are.
@@masterpenguin8472 Yeet
1:21 YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY KINGSMAN SUITS
For over 1200,- I think.
Umm, they're not "Kingsman" suits. They're just "suits". They were around LONG before the movie came out. Shops on Savile Row in London have been producing bespoke (custom tailored) suits for over 200 years.
A full 3 piece bespoke suit cost closer to £4000/£5000
cheap .... any online .?
With that amount of money it best be bulletproof
They're over $8000 so good luck.
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?"
Firion316 especially if Leeds win 😆
Clearly Newcastle Vs Sunderland.
It's Millwall vs Hammers.
It's all the fault of the seagulls again X)
Ole ole ole ole OLE OLE
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
I mean, does England even have Governors?
Sumthing Wikked if I’m completely honest I don’t have a clue 😂
Sumthing Wikked not sure though in uk governor's slang for working class.
E.J Crowe can verify I do both
• AardvrkAsaurus • absolutely 👌
Fun fact: Amelia (the ONE other female recruit besides Roxy) is actually a Kingswoman that was acting to fake death and convince the others.
They tell us that in the movie
Harry cuckhold is someone who is cheated on by their spouse. The moronic word chuck is derived from it but has been interpreted as an inferior man. They don’t work interchangeably.
Think you meant cuck and yeah I know what cuckold means, I don't care
Question: is she actually an agent? Because apparently Kingsman agents are given codenames base on Knights of the Round Table, and there are only 10 seats in the meeting table. Shouldn't she just be a staff like Merlin?

"Shoe knives are always a win!"
I expect you to remember that if you ever do Wild Wild West
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
5:46 you can tell by looking at Charlies friends that their pants are interchangeable with each others to make a full suit. kinda cool showing that they are basically both secondary bullies which could be swapped with each other because they are practically the nameless goons. I have watched the movie so many times and haven’t noticed that.
i do both gymnastics and parkour and they are relatively similar skill sets required
I mean I would assume they both require balance cardio and strength
@@jameson1239 ye pretty much and they both need flexibility more so for gymnastics though which means that he would be in an even better position to start parkour I'd he wanted to
Can you do an "Everything GREAT About The Grey". It is such an underrated and misunderstood film with some incredibly powerful scenes and an even more powerful message that make it one of the most memorable films I have ever watched.
Really do love The Grey specially that last scene "Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day." Very powerful.
Same with the post-crash scene, where Liam's characters comforts the fatally wounded guy.
AirShark95 I'm sorry but I'd never watch that movie. They killed real wolves just for the scene where they eat wolves, and used the real carcasses. So... yeah. It was kinda fucked up. If you like it, that's fine, but I would never watch it.

Source(s)?
Pheonyx Jay please state your sources, as I have watched this film multiple times, and done a lot of research, even as far as watching all the way to the end of the credits to see "no animals were harmed in the making of this film." So please send me a source to your comment and I'll have an intellectual conversation with you about it.
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

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

ikr it’s a first
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?
❄️
I dunno man, seems a little weird London isn’t the only part of England.
Tis the exact same thing as the American accent. We have more variety than any collection of countries and that's within a single state, much less the entire country.
Volcanolord's Channel exactly, it’s like when they do the “American accent” we start complaining saying that’s a California accent and not the whole country
Actually, I'd contest that assertion. "British accent" is a totally appropriate alternative term for RP, because people from all over the UK who have that sort of education or social background have it. The actress Rose Leslie is a born and bred jock, but she has an RP accent. The Duke of Wellington was Anglo-Irish, but spoke RP.
As someone who has done both Gym and Parkour I can say they do relate. They're both about balance, timing and muscle control.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle
2017 is the year of sequels to amazing 2014 movies.
Mr Timo3 The Lego sequels as well
Kingsman: The Secret Service was supposed to be released around October 2014 but it got delayed to January(UK)-February(US) 2015.
And Transformers is still shitty as ever!
I'd also add Lego Batman, and change it to "year of movies closely related to 2014 movies".
It's almost like it takes roughly 3 years to make a movie...
Shawshank Redemption needs done. Im ready for an hour long video
Henry Jackman's score is just ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT for this movie 😎👍
CinemaWins thanks for subtitles, I have rubbish hearing
dfgdfg j
@@charliegreen6689 you ok mate?
Absolutely loved this film! ❤️
The actor who plays Eggsy is from Wales, so the explanation is that the others are from different places in the UK so probably different accents
thats not a welsh accent
British accents are varied and all, the posh accents arent region specific, it just tends to come out if you're brought up with shittones of money.
@@KyunaCookies and as they said "Cambridge or Oxford" Its called a posh accent for a reason. I mean, my Queen and the royals in general in Denmark also speaks very "Old School" in that they sound fancy, where us normal folk have transitioned away from that. Its honestly just a fun little joke that all rich, entitled people speak posh English in the UK. It just shows, like with the clothes how different Egsy is from the rest of the recruits and how the Kingsmen usually only employ well educated people from good earning families.
Koto & Ray my friend who went to university in wales was served in a pub by him more than once. he naturally has a lot of freckles on his face they cover with makeup in films.
@@blackmarya did they happen to go to Aberystwyth? I went to uni there and saw him around a couple of times
The church fight scene needs a 100 wins. Gives me goosebumps 100% of the time and is a better boost than my anti-depressants.
"It's a hand grenade" with Eggsy's reaction is hilarious!
