Directed by: Matthew Vaughn
Starring: Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, Taron Egerton, Sophie Cookson
Corrected entry: Near the beginning of the film, when Angel dumps Charles into the meat grinder in Poppy's Diner, there should have been bits of bone and clothing in the ground meat that comes out.
Corrected entry: Colin Firth's glasses change the blacked out lens from being over the left eye to being over the right eye in one shot right at the very end of the film, just before the scene cuts to the princess and her parents.
Correction: This is a shot of him reflected in a mirror.
Factual error: The action takes place around the second half of June (either side of the Glastonbury festival weekend). At the beginning of the film leaving work early evening in time to get home for dinner, in the UK, it wouldn't be dark. Later on, there isn't that much snow in the Alps, especially below the tree line, at that time of year.
Eggsy: We've got brains, skills, skipping rope?
Whiskey: It's a lasso.
Eggsy: Whatever.
Trivia: Director and co-writer Matthew Vaughn wrote the script about two years before the film was released. While working on the script with his writing partner, he included the song "Country Road" and several references to the singer John Denver, as he felt it was odd that such a celebrated and known singer as Denver wasn't being referenced much in movies or TV anymore. Evidently Vaughn wasn't the only one who had this same idea, as amusingly and coincidentally, "Kingsman 2" ended up being one of many films released in 2017 that either featured Denver's music, referenced him or featured covers of his songs. (Other notable 2017 films in this group included "Logan Lucky" and "Alien: Covenant.").
Question: When the cable car is sliding down the mountain, they use a parachute with the Stars and Stripes on it. Is this a reference/tribute to Roger Moore's Union Jack parachute in "The Spy Who Loved Me"?
Answer: Yup.
