What's left behind the scenes
- The film was based on the comic book "The Secret Service" by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons.
- Emma Watson and Bella Heathcote were considered for the lead female role.
- The script did not call for Samuel L. Jackson's character to have a lisp, but during the first take, director Matthew Vaughn heard him lisping. After speaking with the actor, Vaughn learned that Jackson actually had a lisp before his acting career, but was ultimately able to overcome the speech impediment.
- In the "Secret Service" comic book, the character Gazelle was male, not female as depicted in the film.
- Actor Colin Firth performed 80% of his own stunts.
- Colin Firth trained for six months to get into the necessary physical shape for his role.
- Director Matthew Vaughn turned down directing "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014) to helm this project.
- Director Matthew Vaughn wanted Merlin (Mark Strong) to have a Welsh accent, but it proved too difficult for him, and Strong eventually convinced the director to let him use a Scottish accent instead.
- Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, and Idris Elba were considered for the role of Richmond, but Samuel L. Jackson ultimately landed the part.
- Over sixty actors auditioned for the role of Eggsy. The main contenders were Jack O'Connell, John Boyega, and Taron Egerton. Aaron Taylor-Johnson was also offered the role of Eggsy, but he declined. Ultimately, Matthew Vaughn favored Egerton.
- There was a moment when Oscar Pistorius, a South African sprinter with both legs amputated below the knee, offered himself for the role of a character named Gazelle. At the same time, Pistorius' representatives were asked if he could convincingly play the role of a murderer. However, he eventually declined the role, deciding to focus on preparing for upcoming sporting events, and shortly thereafter, in February 2013, Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
- Matthew Vaughn advised Colin Firth to base his portrayal of Harry Hart more on David Niven than on Roger Moore.
- The Kingsman shop seen in the film was modeled after the world-famous tailoring shop Huntsman. Production designer Paul Kirby and his team built the Kingsman shop in a studio pavilion in Leavesden (Hertfordshire, UK), and tailors from Huntsman lent them some props to make the shop look more realistic.
- Sofia Boutella had to undergo intensive training to prepare for her role, including training in Thai boxing and Taekwondo.

- The trailer for the film features the song "Suffragette City" by David Bowie.
- Eggsy Dean’s stepfather was played by Geoff Bell, known for his role as the leader of the Millwall hooligan firm in the film "Hooligans"; a scarf of precisely this football club hangs on Eggsy’s mirror in his room.
- When Samuel L. Jackson's character speaks to the princess through the hole in her cage door, it can be noticed that his position changes between shots.
- When Eggsy is at the police station, he says he wants to make a phone call. In the overall shot, there is no phone on the table, but after a cut, Eggsy picks up the phone that has unexpectedly appeared there.
