Kingsman: The Golden Circle is here, and we have every reference and easter egg in the thing!
This article containsKingsman: The Golden Circlespoilers.
Hows that for a slice of Americana?
Nevertheless, it was crawling with nostalgia for spy films both classic and relatively more recent.
So join us as we unpack all ofThe Golden Circles most golden influences.
The best place to start is probably one of several carryover influences which are baked intoKingsmans franchised cake.
However,The Golden Circlealso adds to its references a secret, weaponized briefcase.
However, it is based on the slightly more discreet gadget piece Connerys 007 utilized in his own climax.
Yet Barry returns as a cyborg, envious but still happy to ruin Sterlings life.
Not unlike our metallic friend Charlie here.
Maybe.But sinceArcherandKingsmancollaborated for this internet video, we have our doubts.
Similarly, Charlies metallic arm seems awfully familiar.
The opening action sequence also concludes with what might be the films most celebratory nod to 007 classics.
Its even a three-way conversation with Roxy (Sophie Cookson) also on the call.
Speaking of Connery era shenanigans, Harry Harts return is something straight out of the Connery era.
Sean Connerys Bond had reports of his demise greatly exaggerated three times in his time.
It apparently cant fix missing eyes though via similar magic.
Instead, Harry wears an eyepatch, which is right out of Thunderball.
Although, the villainous Largo (Adolfo Celi) wore the accessory there.
Its so gonzo that it is actually kind of scary since only a madwoman would think this is heaven.
And that lair also comes with bloodthirsty dogs that feast on disloyal employees and enemy spies alike.
Except, you know, theyre robots, because why not?
That also had a strange fun house lair of a final location, like Poppys 50s-esque town.
Its an iconic moment that is still breathtaking today since a stuntman really did that insane sky dive.
The film also has one of the most unusual (and glorious) partnerships/product placements in recent memory.
And not only do they drink it; they supply it as Kentucky distillers.
