The only logical explanation is that Valentine is such a bad shot (due to never killing someone himself before) that even at point blank range, it wasn't a killing blow, and he was too distracted (again by never killing someone before) to realize the job wasn't done.

Even then, it would require someone to have found Harry and got him to the hospital. Those are a lot of long shots.

The not so logical explanations include Harry just being that tough (somehow), a clone, a robot, a robot clone or the Kingsmen have access to some super secret super advanced healing that can totally bring you back from being shot in the head. Would any of these make any sense? No. Would they be entirely based on Rule Of Cool? Yes. Would Millar/the film-makers go this route if it meant another popular, successful movie? Oh yeah, they so would.

Or he had a steel plate in his head.

Simple but effective.

Mark Millar properties basically operate almost entirely on the rule of cool (albeit, he has a very.... odd... definition of cool.) The films tend to tone this down a little bit but Kingsman basically takes the Bond gadgets up to 11 and I can see there being a perfectly acceptable (by awesome-logic) explanation for Harry to be back.

At this point, we might get the next Star Wars trailer before this one. :|

I love the fact that the Statesman are stereotypical cowboys using revolvers and whips. It totally fits, given that the Kingsman are stereotypical James Bond wannabes.

I can just picture them going to Australia in the next movie and the Australians all being Crocodile Dundee wannabes with big freaking knives.

Also I REALLY hope that they don't waste/kill off Roxy. She was cool, but didn't get nearly enough to do in the first film. Also I like the idea that Eggsy platonic best friend is a woman.

God damn it, now I want a third one taking place in Australia.

But fuck yes, this looks great. I'm hyped.

I understand the sentiment, but I agree with some of those responses. I'd love to watch that show.

As for the knives, I think Merlin sets a precedent in this trailer.

And I'm digging those custom Statesman Colts.

Man, I'm going to be super pissed if they kill off Roxy.

Or if they do, the outroar get to be so much that they bring her back in the third movie. I mean, Harry got shot in the fucking head and he's right as rain.

If she dies, someone has to make the joke that the Lancelot spot is basically the Leomon of Kingsman.
