I can’t say enough..Chloe Moretz blew me away with her performance as Mindy McCready and Hit Girl. I couldn’t believe how well she acted in a way where she was pure entertainment. I love this movie.
I remember there was criticism that a little girl had such a foul mouth. That little girl was a murder machine and people were concerned about her language?
Big Daddy screaming directions at was daughter was heartbreaking. He was in excruciating pain and still kept it together enough to worry about/guide her. One of the best death scenes ever.
Exactly. The choice of words, a tilt of head, face expression, voice intonations, loving eyes, all these parts are perfect. And then you realize he cripples his daughter in the name of his love.
@1542haha yeah, why didn't Hit girl and her dad ? Didn't get their own movie, Hollywood, slept on kick ass they could've done a lot with these characters 😒.
They missed the best one. Where she showed up as the 'lost schoolgirl' and shot the guy through the door mans cheek. That movie was so awesome and Miss Moretz was 80% of the reason it was. She played one hell of a psychopath at 11 years old! She should have won an Oscar even though she did it in a campy, low budget action movie.
There aren't many child actors in brutal action roles either... I could also think of Dafne Keen (12 at the time), who was also great as X-23/Laura in Logan and Alisha Weir (14) in "Abygail" ...... but that's it.
@@inkognito1534 part of the reason you don't see it very often is because it's pretty tough finding a stunt double for someone under five feet tall. LOL!
@@ScottLafray-dd2fp There are some child stunt doubles, as they are also needed for films that do not explicitly have children in the main action roles. I think the problem is more that the studios rarely dare to show children in such scenes, especially when they themselves are the brutal killers.
They could, but the wokeness dont allowed it. Way to much stereotypes, way to brutal against some groups. If they would relive the franchise it would be some shit like the Saints Row Reboot.
Also, don't know how I never really noticed this before, but got I love how across kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, and Big-Daddy, you can see how much each of them cared about aesthetics vs functionality. KA is purely just for recognizability and hiding his identity, it's super bright with all the yellow and there's literally no armor or extra features besides the sheaths for his batons. HG has a lot of purple, her skirt, and a cape, but she at least has some armor and presumably a bp vest under her costume, plus her utility belt with some useful stuff like her knives and the little grapple thing she uses near the end. Aside from the shape of his helmet, cape and the yellow of his belt, BD's suit is basically all *just* armor, dark colors for stealth, and from what we see his belt has a lot more lethal shit than HG's; grenades, flares, etc.
When she saves Kickass and they start playing The Banana Splits Song..... Blew me away. The last thing I expected in a modern movie was the theme song from a TV series I watched in the late 60"s. I was 6. This is the Dickies Version. Very good. Just so unexpected. Very good scene, one of my Favs.
This movie made me sad. It reminded me of my childhood. Not the shooting, killing, ect. But never having a childhood in a dark, criminal, abusive home. No kid should ever have to be an adult before puberty. Giving my daughter a real childhood was healing for me.
One of my all time favourite films with one of my all time favourite film characters Mindy McCready a.k.a Hit Girl who was absolutely bloody brilliant and hilarious, she had such style the way she cold bloodily dispatched the baddies (like the woman in the red dress 💃). Whenever I watch Kick Ass I'm pretty much laughing from start to finish and Chloe Grace Moretz was never better but she's always awesome and worth watching.
Was the woman in the red dress a baddie? She seemed mostly afraid and got that broken bottle to defend herself, not to attack, running when she could until she ran into a locked door.
@@ThomasPalm-w5y true, yes certainly afraid & defencively armed, but she was also unfortunately a witness too. And BD & HG are as 'unknown' vigilantes, witnesses & evidence reduction is a thing for them, especially as BD is both an --framed-- ex Police Officer & Criminal, ...staying out of both sides of the fence's eyes allows more room for escape, evasion and an amount of peace of mind (however relatively f**ked up his naturally his/was) characterise.
I find it super weird, if that is true, that they DID let her actually use the type of language hit girl did. That she said it "at work" doesn't mean she didn't say those things. And her parents knew better than she did, at that time, that people would get laughs and enjoyment out of a very young child -- their daughter -- saying what they disapproved of. This is not even to mention the fake violence their child mimicked.
Just means they treat her like an adult. Explained that as it was for work, it was acceptable. Maybe she was wise enough to understand concepts like satire, maybe she wasn't. But she was plenty wise enough to understand that saying it in a script was a "pass", but saying it to her own parents in the course of a normal day was not. As to bad personalities; though we all apparently love this film and the idea of an ultra violent 11 year old girl, that is to assess it at only a very superficial surface level. Mindy is a very damaged little girl, and "superhero" or otherwise, that damage is done to her mostly by her dad. And if the "I think I'm in love" and "Dude, she's like twelve." lines do NOT make you uncomfortable...get some help.
Do it, my daughter's 12, she can pick locks, Shoot a pistol, rifle and Bow, has a left jab that comes out of nowhere and a armbar thats really slick. I'm really proud of her.
If they had focused the movie on Hit Girl instead of Kick Ass, this could have been a franchise level film. Why they decided that the nerdy dude could have carried a film is beyond me.
This movie did WAY better at the box office than reported. There's a reason other non R movies suddenly spiked when this was released. Teens were paying for other movies and seeing this.
I never thought of Nicolas Cage as Batman but the scene where he kills the bad guys in the warehouse was awesome. I would love to have seen Nic Cage as Batman in a Batman movie.
When this was coming out I had to paus the trailer and not let them spoil it. I watched just a few seconds and paused the trailer and then got the movie to watch it peacefully and enjoyed it as one should.
Long live Hit Girl, it would be cool to have a follow up movie 10, 15 years later focused on her and whether she could or could not leave her past in the past
I can’t say enough..Chloe Moretz blew me away with her performance as Mindy McCready and Hit Girl. I couldn’t believe how well she acted in a way where she was pure entertainment. I love this movie.
Her performance in both movies was fuckin incredible. The MCU should’ve casted her as Captain Marvel. She’s just got badass energy.
@@edgeGabe ''would of'' makes zero sense. It does not mean the same thing as ''would've''.
ya you couldnt pick a better acter for that role

This movie should've been called 'Hit-Girl'. The 'Kick-Ass' character was good but Hit-Girl MADE this movie!
she made the second one too.
@@kevinpittman2517 Definitely.
I suppose the green hornet movie should be about cato? Never heard of the hero's journey?
@@jmh1189 Well, now that you mentioned it....
think it was written that way. kick ass has no real story line where big daddy and hit girl do.
kick-ass makes it a comedy
Never have I seen that role of a loving dad better played.
How about Hannah's dad?
Exactly. The choice of words, a tilt of head, face expression, voice intonations, loving eyes, all these parts are perfect.

Loving, maladjusted, borderline abusive father.

Everything you said was spot on except for one thing. She is not a psychopath, she is a sociopath.
@@canucanoe2861I thought that there was no longer a differentiation between the words.
Kick Ass was terrific, a total blast, and Hit Girl was the 'hit' of the movie.
There's a reason this franchise has been dead for over 10 years. They just can't top this classic.
…invincible
They could, but the wokeness dont allowed it. Way to much stereotypes, way to brutal against some groups.
If they would relive the franchise it would be some shit like the Saints Row Reboot.
Agreed. When you hit a home run in your first go, it’s impossible to top that or even make something as good as. This movie was fantastic! 😂❤
agreed. by todays standards, it'll be raped with modern audience and diversity expectations. It'll be a complete shit show like The Marvels
@@MrHFAlucardYou mean like having an 11 year girl beat up dozens of men? LoL, yeah you would complain about it being too woke if it was made today.
Nicholas Cage's best role ever 😂
In Lord of War he was also great ...
@@inkognito1534 true! And Match Stick Men
Much better than that other film where he got set on fire
@@LazyCat010 yeah, that one sucked. If you're going to watch a film about a bunch of cultic loonies watch Midsommer, I guess.

So funny the way he say’s “ Child “ throughout the movie
Hes burning on fire... and his annunciation was spot on for someone shouting through such pain.
@@davidschmidt5533 “ Now go to Robin’s Revenge “ !
"What a douche!" - - - - 🤣🤣🤣 Clearly the best line in the entire video . . .
One of Nick Cages finest performances and one of my favorite movies of all time. All around great movie.
The entire strobe scene is one of my favourite action sequences in cinema
1:39 "I'm just fuckin with you daddy" 😂😂😂
The best bit of this is how @3:21 it breaks into the "Banana Split" song. Its pure gold
dunno but when i watch this i get happy tears.
This movie was just one big "I can't believe they just did that" after another.
And then The Boys came out…
Would have loved to have seen a Deadpool / Hit Girl crossover... Deadpool taking over after her father was killed... Some hard lessons in parenting.
Heck, Hit Girl vs Deadpool - Marvel is always pitting one hero against another due to some misunderstanding.
Hit Girl and Deadpool. The dialogue would have been AWESOME.
Love the use of the Banana Split gang music..lol
that's insane..
LA la la --- as she goes slicing .... brilliant !!
Definitely one of my favorite Chloe Moretz and Nic Cage roles of all time.
"Your gonna be fine baby doll." 😂😂😂
this is one of those films you can see a hundred times and it is still fun.
3.22 that song takes me back to my childhood " the banana splits" theme song 😅
Yep. Me too
Me three, motion carried!
Now i wanna watch that movie XD

This kid is a cut above the rest.
This movie can't be topped.

Best character EVER!
The Professional if Leon actually taught her
Hit-girl made the first movie that is why she was even more prominent in the second and they should have given her a spin off.
Big daddy and Nicholas Cage made the movie
She got too old for a spin-off.
I was surprised with this movie. It is clearly an awesome movie. Nick Cage and Chloe Grace Moretz made this movie.
03:21
LOVE the Banana Splits Theme Music.
A Classic.
🦉🐯 I can’t get over how inappropriately good this is, was?! And that there’s soo much more.
I had forgotten how dark and deadly this movie was.
This is how me and my daughter relationship will be like...one of my favourite scene in the movie
You gonna raise a psicopat
Please don't.
Cool.
Please train her to be good enough to defend herself, don't train her hard enough to become Hitgirl.
Do it, my daughter's 12, she can pick locks, Shoot a pistol, rifle and Bow, has a left jab that comes out of nowhere and a armbar thats really slick. I'm really proud of her.
5:14 I felt her disappointment and his regret so deeply... 😢 Bro the fomo. (Never saw the movie btw)
I was completely alone in the theater and laughing my ass off.
Wholesome.
Hit Girl is a Little Star
This is the best movie of Chloe.....
Nicolas Cage played the "Ned Flanders went nuts" role really well.
She should have got her own movie.
Forgot how awesome this was
More please
Chloe was one of the all-ime great child actors. She was great on 30 Rock, too.
I was clearly inadequate as a father.
You and me both!
I still have scars on my knuckles from learning to open one of those.
You mean your parents didn't give you the comb one first 🤔🤣😂😅
The first scene has been in my head for who knows how long and i forgot it was from this
Love this movie 😮
Mindy she got the skills
Hello, funniest lines in the whole film. My name is kick ass more like ass kicked🤣🤣🤣
This is the best movie ever ! Hit Girl rocks !

What's a DVD?
3:29 awesome kick
Father goals☺☺☺
OMG..the fight scene music is the Banana Splits Theme. Hilarious.
Girl boss movies tend to be stupid and over-done, but this was a good character.
I never thought of Nicolas Cage as Batman but the scene where he kills the bad guys in the warehouse was awesome. I would love to have seen Nic Cage as Batman in a Batman movie.
I forgot about this movie and how much I like it!
I wished we got a tv series on her she was one of my favorite
They had a series with her. It was great but then they cancelled it due to the pandemic.
One of the funniest scenes ever you're going to be fine baby doll
Ah yes, the good old days when they were still making subversive, nihilistic violent movies that were so much fun.
Mindy she's a Badass as Hit Girl💪💪💪💪💪

This is my favorite part of the kickass movies
4:01 no way agent smith just pulled up
FUC@# BRILLIANT !! man, I love this movie.
Still can’t believe the kick ass universe is coming back and most likely kick ass 3 afterwards.
Except with neither Kick-Ass nor Hit-Girl, so...whatever.
"But whyyyyy".... shes good in Peripheral also.
This movie literally kicks ass!
Love this clip so much!
This movie was the pinnacle of mature entertainment
I’m just fuckin with you daddy was crazy😂
