This is a slight tangent, but while they are somewhat loosely "based" on different source material(s), the first Kingsman film was a lot like Stormbreaker. Sure, coincidences happen, but I could never shake the feeling Kingsman took something from its family-oriented genre predecessor about a guy who wants to cause mass mayhem by distributing awesome but booby-trapped computer hardware for free and the rebellious youth drafted into a secretive spy agency who stops him.

edit:

In fact, Stormbreaker's novel is from 2000, and the film adaptation from 2006, the former predating The Secret Service/Kingsman by a decade.

Yeah. Kingsman is based on Secret Service, which probably took beats from Stormbreaker.
