‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Opener Is ‘Tokyo Drift’ Meets ‘Deadpool,’ and That’s Kind of Great

The Golden Circle opener is anything to go by, everything ridiculous and exaggerated about the original action comedy is even more ridiculous and more exaggerated.

Eggy isn’t having it, and fight ensues, from the street right into the back of Eggy’s car, which takes off speeding down London streets as Eggy and Hesketh (who, BTW, is now a cyborg) duke it out in the back seat.

The Moore, but badass, vibe continues after Eggy defeats Hesketh, at which point the fight transitions to a car chase as Eggy drift-races around London before destroying the bad guys, then evading the cops (clearly he’s not sanctioned by the British government) by driving his car, broken windshield and all, into a pond, where it turns into a submarine.

Lest you think the opener’s vibe was a bait and switch, Fox also brought two other clips that were equally fun, funny, and balls-out ridiculous.

The first saw Channing Tatum plug a hole in a cask of priceless whiskey by spitting chewing tobacco at it (with a loud splat sealing the deal, the closest you can get to a fart joke without actually farting, I suspect).

There’s a movie theater, a makeover salon, and even a quaint diner, which serves as Poppy’s lair.

[...] it’s where she turns disobedient henchmen into ground beef, and also tests the loyalty of other henchmen by making them eat, and enjoy, human hamburgers.
