Kick-Ass follows Dave Lizewski, an average high school student and comic book enthusiast who takes the daring step to become a real-life superhero despite lacking any powers, training, or a clear purpose. His journey introduces him to other vigilantes, including the fierce Hit Girl, and plunges them into a dangerous world of crime and justice.
Trivia:
1. Chloë Grace Moretz, who played Hit Girl, trained extensively in martial arts and weapons handling to perform many of her own stunts, showcasing impressive skills despite her young age.
2. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, portraying Kick-Ass, went through physical training to convincingly depict a street-level superhero who is both vulnerable and determined.
3. The filmmakers initially considered casting an older actor for Kick-Ass, but ultimately chose Taylor-Johnson to preserve the character’s youthful, relatable persona.
