Gary "Eggsy" Unwin struggles with a chaotic home life in working-class England brought on by his abusive stepfather Dean and harassment from local thugs. His concern for his mother Michelle and his half-sister prevent him from confronting Dean directly.

A man reconnects with his family and rekindles his former passion after a fantastical journey that sees him pit his skills against those of his would-be rivals.

Some posters are less describing by tertiary details, more describing by main plot, but vaguely. The game this thread's become works either way I guess.

A marksmanship champion thinks she's found her long-lost biological brother and mother. Just as she's about to betray her lover, she learns her "mother" is actually her mother's twin sister, born 10 years later and who killed the real mother, and her "brother" was adopted.

I posted a few way, way back in the thread that I reckon were too vague to even get guessed, so I'm reposting them with extra clues.

First:
A man rekindles the passion for his former vocation after a fantastical journey that sees him pit his skills against those of his would-be rivals. Meanwhile, facing a crisis, a famous troupe of cartoonish comedy entertainers must accept a new woman member as an equal.

Second:
A marksmanship champion thinks she's found her long-lost biological brother and mother. Just as she's about to apparently betray her lover, she learns her "mother" is actually her mother's twin sister, born 10 years later and who killed the real mother, and her "brother" was adopted. Her lover knew she was honest when she shot him at point blank range. They are pursued by a man who takes his Diet Coke with no ice.

Not quite, but that was a hell of a connection to make!

The aforementioned entertainment troupe is predominantly (entirely? I don't remember) male, though.
