- TriviaIn the film and trailer, when the new Kingsman recruits have their first nights sleep interrupted by a deluge of water pouring into the dorm, on-set, the scene went horrifically wrong. As writer, producer, and director Matthew Vaughn recalls "I shouted 'action!', the computer got it wrong and vrrrrssshh, everyone was twenty feet down underwater. Cameras, sound guys. People were in waders full of water, panic, everyone diving in, and pulling people out." The set, painstakingly planned and rehearsed using height markers and computer-programmed water tanks, washed away in a nearly Biblical flood when said computers went rogue. "Those actors weren't acting, they were absolutely terrified", shudders Vaughn. "It was awful for the first day of filming."
- GoofsThe number on the rear of the medal obviously represents the date that Eggsy's dad died - 19th December 1997. As Kingsman is a British organisation, it would be written 19.12.97, not 12.19.97.

Featured review
Kingsman: The Secret Service is a high-octane thrill ride that reinvigorates the spy genre with a fresh and stylish approach. The film opens with a breakneck pace, immediately immersing viewers in a world of espionage and intrigue. The introduction of the Kingsman organization is seamlessly woven into the narrative, establishing a foundation for the complex plot that unfolds.
Samuel L. Jackson's charismatic yet menacing villain perfectly counterbalances the refined elegance of Colin Firth's Harry Hart. Their on-screen chemistry is electric, creating a palpable tension that drives the film forward. Taron Egerton's portrayal of the rebellious Eggsy is equally compelling, bringing a youthful energy and relatability to the role. Not to forget Mark Strong's portrayal of the enigmatic trainer, adds depth to the narrative.
The film's standout feature is its visually stunning action sequences. Director Matthew Vaughn's innovative approach to choreography and camera work elevates the genre to new heights. The church sequence, in particular, is a masterclass in action filmmaking, blending brutality with ballet-like precision.
Beyond the thrilling action, Kingsman also delivers a satisfyingly complex plot with unexpected twists. The film's blend of style, substance and humor creates a truly unforgettable cinematic experience
Sum up - Kingsman: The Secret Service is a testament to the power of cinematic storytelling, demonstrating how innovative action sequences and a fresh visual approach can elevate the film's success. The ability to seamlessly blend high-octane action with sharp wit and social commentary, creates a truly unforgettable cinematic experience.
