I can guarantee you no one on the panel had a clue who was Archduke Ferdinand and some of the early events re-enacted ware the cause of WW1 :D
That's what started WW1, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
In real life Rasputin was poisoned, stabbed, beaten and shot before being thrown into a freezing river. When they found his body, he had water in his lungs indicating that he actually died of drowning.
It was inevitable that Conrad would die in the war. In Kingsman: The Secret Service, Harry Hart aka Galahad, said that Kingsman was funded with the fortune of the English nobles that lost their sons in World War I, so if Orlando, Duke of Oxford was the founder and the first noble of Kingsman, he had to loose his son Conrad.
Oddly this one is my fave installment of the three. Really good. Ralph Fiennes is awesomeness as usual
The Flock is composed of so many historical figures: Rasputin, Mata Hari, Gavrilo Princip, Erik Jay Hanussen, Alfred DuPont, Lenin, Hitler and others not named.
When you watch a historical fiction movie with people who don't know history.
The Knife Fight in No Mans Land is one of the greatest action scenes ive witnessed, I got to see it in Cinema and it was incredible,
The silent fighting scene before Conrad was killed is one of my favorite movie scenes.
My favorite fun fact is that Wanted, Kick-Ass, and Kingsman all exist in the same universe (Mark Millar / Millarworld)
