The Kingsman franchise is made up of three live action films (so far): Kingsman: The Secret Service; Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and, most recently, the prequel The King’s Man. According to Screen Rant, an upcoming fourth film (a sequel to The Golden Circle) is currently in the works, titled Kingsman: The Blue Blood, and will begin filming next year. The entire franchise has so far been hugely successful at the box office, and we can’t wait to see what happens next.
The Kingsman franchise began with director Matthew Vaughn, who adapted the comic series of the same name by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. The original film starred Colin Firth and Taron Egerton, and delivered some of the most creative and thrilling fight sequences in modern action. Here are the best of them so far, ranked.

7 Church Battle — Kingsman: The Secret Service
Marv Films
The church battle takes place in Kingsman: The Secret Service and it’s an intense experience from start to finish. The fight is extremely bloody and takes place to the tune of Lynyrd Skynrd’s “Free Bird”. The scene features Harry Hart (Firth) fighting religious figures who have been brainwashed into becoming murderous fighters. The all-out brawl is chaotic but beautifully choreographed, making it a real highlight of the movie.

6 Poppy Land — Kingsman: The Golden Circle
The Poppy Land fight takes place in Kingsman: The Golden Circle and features more guns than fists. The scene is intense, featuring a cameo from Elton John who even gets involved in the fight. This scene also makes use of music, as “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting” plays throughout the whole sequence.
5 The Pub Fight — Kingsman: The Secret Service
The pub fight takes place in Kingsman: The Secret Service near the beginning when Harry first meets with Gary Unwin (Egerton) at a pub. A group of criminals breaks into the pub to attack them, and a fight scene ensues, equipped with excellent camera work that magnifies the intensity of the situation and, more significantly, Hart’s surprising agility and skill.
4 The Rasputin Fight — The King’s Man
The prequel film The King’s Man has just as intense fight sequences as the ones that came before it. One in particular is the fight that is set to Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” and against Rasputin, who incorporates perfectly choreographed dance moves, making the sequence both amusing and thrilling to watch.
3 Harry and Eggsy Vs. Whiskey — Kingsman: The Golden Circle
The next fight on the list takes place in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. This fight has a twist, which happens when Eggsy and Harry are about to deploy the antipode to Poppy’s drugs. Agent Whiskey (Pedro Pascal) turns against the pair to stop this, and an epic fight sequence breaks out. The fight is intense and action packed and ultimately results in Whiskey being dropped down a meat grinder.
2 Silent Fight in No Man’s Land — The King’s Man
Some of the best fight sequences in the franchise take place in The King’s Man. This fight specifically has amazing choreography and sees Conrad Oxford (Harris Dickinson) and his soldiers take on a group of Germans in dead silence in the dark of the night. The scene is not as theatrical as others, but is more brutal and bloodier than some of the flashier sequences that have come before it, making it feel more authentic, effectively boosting its place on our ranking.
1 Orlando and Shola vs. The Shepherd — The King’s Man
The top spot on our list also belong to the fight between The Shepherd and Orlando and Shola in The King’s Man. Orlando (Ralph Fiennes) and Shola (Djimon Hounsou) take on The Shepherd (Matthew Goode), who is the leader of a group of assassins who want to bring about the destruction of the world. The film builds the suspense to this fight brilliantly, and it remains the best in the whole franchise.
