Kingsman is a British action spy franchise created by film director Matthew Vaughn and comic writer Mark Millar. The title refers to a tailor shop in Savile Row, London that serves as a front for a private international spy agency, dedicated to preserving peace and saving innocent lives without interference from world governments. Kingsman agents, who take their codenames from Arthurian legends, dress and act like the Quintessential British Gentleman, but possess fearsome skills and high-tech gadgets which they employ in their fight against megalomaniacal villains. Overall, the franchise is a good-natured play on Tuxedo and Martini Spy Fiction and classic British spy characters.Vaughn and Millar developed the concept during the production of Kick-Ass, first publishing a comic under a different title and then adapting it into a feature film that's since spawned a sequel, a prequel and further comic books in the film continuity.The film franchise is dormant since the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney, though sequels to The Golden Circle and The King's Man are currently in development.These films take place within the same shared universe as Argylle. | |

The Order | |
| Kingsman / int_1c169242 | comment |
The Order: Under the Tuxedo and Martini veneer, Kingsman agents see themselves as knights, following a code of conduct in service of a greater goal. | |

Artifact of Death | |
| Kingsman / int_3094ec26 | comment |
Artifact of Death: The position of 'Lancelot' within the organization. Every single one in this series dies in very cruel circumstances: the very "first", Conrad, is mistaken as a German spy and is shot by his own comrade; the "would-be" Lancelot in the first movie, Eggsy's father, gets blown to bits covering Harry from a suicide grenade explosion; the "previous" Lancelot was sliced in half by Gazelle; the "last" Lancelot, Roxy, didn't even know what hit her when a missile nuked the Kingsman compound, flattening everything in it. In fact, Eggsy only survived the whole ordeal because he failed to gain the Lancelot position, always conveniently placing him out of harms' way. | |

The Statesmen distill $80 whiskey that is apparently worth every penny. However, selling hundreds of thousands of bottles every year means that they not only have a Kingsman-style EUB under their distillery in Louisville, Kentucky; they're a nationwide label with skyscraper office buildings in every major city in the US. | |

Covert Group with Mundane Front | |
| Kingsman / int_868afe72 | comment |
Covert Group with Mundane Front: A component of the Decon-Recon Switch. The Kingsmen are officially a group of high-priced tailors. Thing is, when your clientele are among Britain's wealthy and powerful who are grieving for the sons they lost in World War I, their collective fortunes (which are now heirless) are more than enough to finance an Elaborate Underground Base and a dozen modern "knights." The Statesmen distill $80 whiskey that is apparently worth every penny.

Boom, Headshot!: Across the three films released so far, a dramatic headshot serves to end the second act and set up the third-act climax. Secret Service: Harry is shot by Valentine. Golden Circle: Whiskey is shot by Harry. The King's Man: Conrad is shot by a British soldier in the trenches. | |

Gentleman and a Scholar | |
| Kingsman / int_c514c2c4 | comment |
Gentleman and a Scholar: It's a requirement to perform well as a Kingsmen agent and is given more emphasis than the standard Spy Fiction will devote. The Kingsmen are well-educated, well-groomed, articulate and polite, and their training includes dinner etiquette, proper formal attire, and how to conduct yourself when meeting with royalty and government officials. If you want to be a spy who can infiltrate the echelons of high society without raising suspicion, you have to know how to act the part properly. | |

Genre Throwback: To the more over-the-top James Bond films where gadgets, tuxedos, and colorful villains with over-the-top plans reigned supreme. With the violence and vulgarity turned up to eleven, of course. | |

Theme Naming: Members of Kingsman take their codenames from Arthurian legends. Field agents include Galahad, Lancelot and Percival, their tech support officer is Merlin, and their leader is Arthur. Their American off-shoots, the Statesmen are mostly named after alcoholic drinks, including Arthur's counterpart Champagne, Whiskey, Tequila and Ginger Ale. | |
