In "Kingsman 2", Uncle Face Harry's London accent and stylish suit inherited the British gentleman image of 007, but Uncle Face is a supporting role in the film, indicating that the traditional image of a gentleman agent is now beginning to give way to Iger West such a grassroots agent image.

The existence of the song fits very well with the geographic context of Kentucky, where federal agents are located, as the American West. Merlin once asked, "Who is my favorite singer?" while testing Harry after he lost his memory. Harry couldn't answer, and Merlin told him it was John Denver.
In the battle of the attack on Poppy Manor, Merlin stepped on the thunder in place of Eggsy. He sang his favorite song "Take Me Home on the Country Road" and perished with the enemy. The song, accompanied by the roar of landmines, brought the audience's emotions to the highest point.
