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.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
Directed by: Matthew Vaughn
Starring: Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, Taron Egerton, Sophie Cookson
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Eggsy and Hart are talking before the wedding, Hart's eye patch changes from the left side to the right.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: We're still seeing the mirror image of Hart, so the patch on the viewer's left is still Hart's left eye, not his right.
Continuity mistake: When Merlin and Ginger Ale try to restore Harry's memory, a large exercise ball is under Harry's desk. When the water starts rising, the ball has disappeared.
Trivia: Taron Egerton refused to shoot the scene where he implants the tracking device into Charlie's girlfriend's groin, as he felt uncomfortable touching the actress in that area. The hand we see reaching down into the woman's underwear is actually the hand of the actress' husband, who gladly volunteered to "double" for Egerton's hand in that scene.
Trivia: Poppy has two robotic dogs called Bennie and Jet, this is after a song by Elton John - Bennie and the Jetts. Elton John is also in the film.
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.").
Elton John: Now go save the world.
Harry Hart: If I save the world, will you get me two tickets to your next show?
Elton John: If you save the world, I'll get you a backstage pass, baby.
Eggsy: We've got brains, skills, skipping rope?
Whiskey: It's a lasso.
Eggsy: Whatever.
Question: When Merlin stepped on the land mine, why didn't he just wait there until Eggsy and Harry completed the mission? Surely he could have just stood there, then later on they could have called in bomb experts or use Statesman resources to get him off that thing? Eggsy and Harry could have easily taken out those 5 guards.
Answer: At the time, these people only had a really short time to save the world. Merlin thought that, with the landmine, he could sacrifice himself along with many guards to save the world.
Question: How did Harry know that Agent Whiskey was a rogue agent?
Answer: Harry probably believed Whiskey told the Golden Circle where they were since none of them were followed. Then there is also that Whiskey shoved the antidote out of Eggsy's hand he started to suspect he did it on purpose.
Answer: While nothing is ever presented on screen to show which side he was on, there would be offscreen time to show evidence where Harry might have suspected him.
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.
