'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' Easter Egg and Reference Guide: Deadly Briefcase, Parachute, Umbrella and More
The "Kingsman" franchise has just gotten better with the release of "The Golden Circle," which proved to be a lot crazier than the 2015 flick. The movie just hit theaters this month but it has already garnered a wide range of positive reviews, thanks to its outrageous and action-packed scenes.
"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" took a somewhat different direction than its predecessor as the group went to Kentucky in a new story that involved Julianne Moore. Despite that, it did not fall short in delivering a sense of nostalgia as a spy film.
This year's movie offered several golden influences and Easter eggs that viewers might have missed.
One of the Easter eggs in the movie was the machine gun briefcase of Taron Egerton's Eggsy, which he used when he raided Poppy Land. In the film, Eggsy was reminiscent of Sean Connery's Bond in "From Russia with Love," who used the same weaponized business accessory.
The movie also featured the Kingsman's preferred offensive and defensive weapon, an umbrella, which served as a "catchall device" for Harry and Eggsy when they had an encounter with their enemies. In the movie, they used the umbrella to shield themselves from bullets as well as fire on their enemies at the same time.
Another unprecedented weapon used in the film was the parachute which Eggsy and Whiskey used when they started to skid down a mountain slope and almost fell over a group of tourists. Just before they caused a commotion, Eggsy opened the parachute with flying colors, saving them from utter embarrassment.
The movie also featured three rockets that Eggsy sent arching into the air after being given the go-ahead by Merlin to fire at Poppy's henchmen. In the original "Kingsman" comics, Eggsy also used the same weapon to attack his enemies in the opening of the scene.
"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" is currently showing in theaters.
