History Awesome / KingsmanTheSecretService

-->'''Eggsy''': Then we wouldn't be cannon fodder for snobs like you, judging people like me from your ivory towers with no thought about why we do what we do. We ain't got much choice, you get me? And if we was born with the same silver spoon up our arses, we'd do just as well as you, if not better.

* The church fight scene is incredibly well choreographed and very creatively put together. Not to mention satisfying for seeing so many hateful bigots [[AssholeVictim getting what's coming to them]].

* Gazelle vs Eggsy was another well choreographed fight that was simply a joy to watch. [[spoiler: As was the fact Eggsy kills Gazelle with the toxic knife boot, the only scratch Gazelle had ever suffered in the course of the movie. Also, that was some fast toxin.]]

* How the [[http://marrecarandgi.tumblr.com/post/111457571639/kingsman-and-strong-female-characters female characters,]] Gazelle and Roxy were written. No nude scenes, neither are sexually objectified, and prove to be {{badass}}. Even Princess Tilde gets a nod in the post:

* Harry giving Eggsy's abusive stepdad a well-deserved fright through a mini-speaker planted on Eggsy's shoulder. It is also an awesome moment for Eggy as the whole reason Harry put that on him was to see if he would spill the beans of who he was. Eggy sticks to his morals and endures the abuse rather than break his word. This is what makes Harry accept him into the Kingsman program.

* A lot of Kingsmen candidates tests are Moments of Awesome for Eggsy in general. Not only did he keep up with the other elite candidates who received higher education than him, he managed to beat most of them, despite all those TrainingFromHell subjected to him by Merlin, and [[spoiler: managed to be one of the two last candidates left facing the final test along with Roxy.]] One of the most prominent moments being the semi-final test, where Eggsy [[spoiler: got tied up onto the train track and being threatened by a man who wanted info on the Kingsmen. A train is approaching at high speed, and the only way to escape is by using the knife the guy is holding which he will only give when Eggsy spills out every secret. Eggsy, demonstrating extreme loyalty, refused to rat out his associates, despite being ''scared out of his mind as he saw the train coming closer and closer''. He even showed his extreme loyalty when the guy asked him "Is Kingsmen worth dying for?" How does Eggsy respond? "'''''FUCK, YEAH!'''''"]] This applied to Roxy, as well, offscreen, as both of them passed the test. DefiantToTheEnd moment at its finest, people.

** At the end of it's theatrical run, it's made just shy of $415 million, more than five times its budget even before DVD, Blu-Ray and On-Demand sales are factored in.

* Merlin's just the Kingsmen's tech support guy, not an action hero, right? Wrong. [[spoiler: He takes out tons of Valentine's top mercenaries with just an assault rifle, from a fixed position, despite being surrounded.]]
** Merlin (to Eggsy, about the assault rifle): "Nuh uh, this one's mine."

** At the end of it's theatrical run, it had made more than $406 million, more than five times its budget even before DVD, Blu-Ray and On-Demand sales are factored in.

* Eggsy [[spoiler:managing to outsmart Arthur by switching their brandies (so that Arthur gets the deadly glass) when Arthur got distracted by a painting]]. SimpleYetAwesome, indeed. [[spoiler:Bonus points for Eggsy giving no reaction when Arthur clicks the pen, he just sits there patiently waiting for the poison to take its effect on Arthur.]]

** Before that, her refual to go along with Valentine's plans even though she was imprisoned for over a month. She may not be a Kingsmen agent, but she ''sticks'' to her morals.

** Roxy isn't made to be the typical LoveInterest for Eggsy and proves to be very skilled despite not getting a lot of screen time.

** At the end of it's theatrical run, it had made just under $404 million, pretty much five times its budget even before DVD, Blu-Ray and On-Demand sales are factored in.

** Gazelle: ''"A woman of colour, who is not only mentoring the villain, but she turned her disability into deadly advantage."''

* Taron Egerton gets one for, while being pretty much a rookie like his character, managing to stand well on his own against established legendary actors such as Colin Firth, Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson. Of course, the writers don't make the film rely on those actors, but rather give Taron enough of his own screen time to carry the film and good enough character development too so that when the film no longer revolves around [[spoiler: Galahad and Arthur]], the audience doesn't even notice the transition.

** The church scene is a HUGE [=MoA=]. [[spoiler:Every single person in a packed church becomes hell-bent on murdering each other, and Harry just mows through ALL of them.]][[note]]By one count, Harry kills thirty eight of the congregation, kills or severely injures twenty others and injures twenty more, though there is some overlap.[[/note]]
