Wife asked me why the chick has prosthetic knife legs. I said because she's a henchwoman.



I liked how they never cut the floors or tables she was running on, only things she wanted to cut.

That was the question I had. As far as I could tell, it was never addressed in the plot. I guess we're supposed to assume that Arthur controlled them all.


I think I remember after Eggsy found the implant in Arthur and showed back up at headquarters, Merlin said something along the lines of, "we don't know who to trust, so we'll have to do it ourselves" to Eggsy and Roxy. So I just assumed they didn't want to engage the others just in case they were controlled by Arthur.


ETA - 3 pages and no one complaining about Samuel L Jackson's lisp? I'm amazed

Samuel L Jackson's lisp
It was terrible and unnecessary. I had to pause the movie and Google why the hell he was doing that.

I forgot about that scene and it actually makes alot of sense and fits well with Merlin's role and character.

I thought it was funny. Just another thing to add to his character. As awesome as this movie is, I remember when it came out that's all most people talked about.

I'll watch pretty much anything Samuel L Jackson is in, and i thought he gave a good performance in the movie.

"I just killed that man!"

"I know, feels good, doesn't it?"

"No, it feels fricking awful!"

"Come on, it's just one guy. You just killed a whole church full of people."

Did his glasses also spray fake brain matter and blood everywhere?

In the film, Merlin states that the revelation of Arthur's betrayal, implies any of the other Kingsmen might have been coopted as well; therefore he, Lancelot and Eggsy had to undertake the mission on their own.

Julianne Moore has just been cast as the villain in the next one.

The first ones a very enjoyable film. I love Vaughn's style and I'm still bummed out he dropped out of the X-Men sequel.

did anybody else get that the political message of the movie was knocking globalism, climate change, and elected officials in general?

i came away like "man, i think that movie was giving the finger to liberals.... but i'm not sure."

not saying that's good or bad, just uncommon in movies.

I mean, it really kinda does. They blow up Barack Obamas head in the White House montage.
