Lionsgate Rolls Out Their Best KICK-ASS Trailer Yet!
Beaks here...
I didn't think it was possible, but someone has managed to cut an effective all-audiences trailer for KICK-ASS. This is perfect, really. It gets across the lunatic tone of Matthew Vaughn's superhero riff without giving away too much - which is to say it doesn't go overboard on Hit Girl action. Check out the below embed or, better yet, head over the Yahoo! Movies for the HD version.
My only complaint: they left out Clark Duke's response to Evan Peters's profession of love for Hit Girl. Plays kind of icky without it.
We learned this week that KICK-ASS will be the opening night selection at this year's SXSW Film Festival. That's a month before the movie's April 16th theatrical release, which means Lionsgate is very confident that they've got a word-of-mouth hit on their hands. Their confidence is well-placed: KICK-ASS is honestly one of the most deliriously entertaining action films I've ever seen. (Which reminds me that I need to finish my review of the work print that blew everyone away at BNAT...)
If you want to see this trailer the big screen this weekend, it's attached to DAYBREAKERS.

...that the more irony, violence & swears they add to superhero movies, the nerdier they become.
-
Looks fucking awesome!
-
and whats with the pedo shit you wankers???
-
I'm actually a bit surprised this isn't being released against the big dogs of Summer.
-
N. Cage has done in a long, long time...

Give this a miss? I'd rather chew me own cock off.
-
And proud of it!
-
Eat violence up with a spoon but will scream bloody murder if a nipple is shown.
-
It looks like they finally show a superhero applying eye black around the eyes so when they wear the mask it looks better

Now THAT'S How You Cut a Trailer...
by the_floating_skull_of_robert_loggia
Yeah, the action snippets are 2 seconds long and hyper-edited, but the music and visuals combine to make something that actually brought a big stupid smile to my face, and has me counting the days til this flick opens. Meanwhile, trailer tripe like A-Team and Cop Out make me wonder how long it will be before they show up on cable.
-
...says "cunt" and "fuck" and kills people. Worth a look.
-
FUCKING AWESOME with 7 SCOOPS OF BADASS on top and a HEAPING HELPING OF HOT CHOCOLATE LOVE and one helluva cool Cherry to complete it.
-
...don't want to dilute the juice.
-
Who yanked down my comment about Pedo Talkback, Part II?
-
This movie doesn't take itself so seriously.

I'm at a loss for words about how good this flick is!
by the reluctant austinite
I'd have to invent a new word to describe this movie because "awesome" just doesn't do it justice. Yes, it's funny. Clearly. The real stroke of genius, however, is that you actually like and care about the characters too. The structure is quite a lot like a serious superhero film ("Spider-man" provides a lot of inspiration), not a spoof of comic book films. I thought about writing a review for AICN, but honestly there are only so many ways you can drool the word "awesome" and I don't want to get into specifics and ruin any of the surprises for anyone. You're best just knowing you're in for a good time, this isn't a waste of your time or money, and the only people you know who are going to dislike this are super conservatives for who it may "cross the line." You know who you are.
-
because you love everything. Which is your super power, to love all movies, good, bad or mediocre.
-
"Kick Ass" does look pretty good. Nic Cage is on a roll. "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" was awesome.
-
...because of this talkback. Racist bastards.
-
...lil a disappointed at how campy it is... ill still see it tho... and its longer available
-
Watchmen is my case in point and come to think of it Avatar too. Although I did enjoy it more the 2nd time round
-
That is a well cut trailer..looks like a fun flick, and after seeing the Hit Girl red-band trailer...sold.
Mark Strong was great in RocknRolla and Sherlock Holmes. -
when I see the trailers: Watchmen (minus the blue guy, of course) -- the Early Years. I know, there is no tie-in whatever, but the idea of super-heros being really mortal and physically vulnerable increasingly appeals to me. I'm tired of Superman, X-Men, and all that. And yes, I love Hit-Girl (which is Not the same thing as saying I am in love with Hit Girl, Not in that way you understand . . . )
-
how can a lil girl kick much ass, but a high-school nerd can't? is there a logical explanation, or are we supposed to suspend our disbelief?
-
are you Banned From the Ranch Dressing?
-
...he made a reference to a certain Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.
-
fuckers
-
i'll c it just for Cage's silly reactions
-
chocolate flavoured pussy juice???
-
that this looks like an R rated Mystery Men? More ass than Kick-Ass if you ask me.
-
...haven't watched CURB yet...don't get the reference.How bad could it have been though?...someone called Will Smith's kid the N..... word in the KARATE KID talkback...I thought that was pretty questionable.
-
I thought DC and Marvel jointly owned the rights to the word "superhero", and nobody else was allowed to use it. That's why role-playing games about super heroes that didn't pay for the DC or Marvel licence (like Champions, or GURPS Supers, or Heroes Unlimited) never used the term "superhero".
Am I wrong, or did they get permission to use it for Kick-Ass? -
Jan 08, 2010 2:47:25 PM CST
Never mind, I just read that the comic was published...
by royston lodge
... by Marvel, via a subsidiary.
-
"I'm Kick Ass." Will go down with "I'm Batman", and "I'm Iron Man." As great movie quotes. The Red Mist falling off of the dumpster was hilarious and welcome back Nick Cage. With this and the Bad Lieutenant under your belt maybe it will get the bad taste out of our mouths from your last few paychecks, I mean films.
-
.. i would give this film a commercial success chance. but now, with all the hype spread all over aintitcoll i say - SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You guys have like ZERO impact on the movie bussiness - ZERO!
-
...it was from the penultimate episode of Curb where a 9 year old girl gets a certain medical condition on a certain part of her anatomy. The mother tells Larry this quite frankly, using a word that is considered somewhat slang...so when Larry repeats this to others...they react with shock. The brilliance of this episode is that the word is not the C word that Larry used in one of the early seasons to get chastized.... It's a brilliant satire on how Americans get very outraged by words....words...Chakra's banning is a reflection of that...yet having a child brutally murder people...that's considered cool and exciting. Anyhow...I think it's time Chakra and I took a sabbatical...go walkabout....this year's movies look like shit anyhow...
-
Let the Butt-Whacking commence!
-
I have one thing to say to the people in charge...FUCK YOU!
-
I'm just sayin' is all...
-
...to make paragraph breaks if and when he comes back...it's tradition....and to keep us posted on MoMA shows...happy trails.
-
I do get somewhat of a Mystery Men vibe to this, but this looks crazier and more fun. I do get the point a few TBers have made about people freaking out about words/references but embracing a murderous child as "awesome."
-
"Dude, you should start a band!"
Dialogue from a snowboard video I bought once.
I've always thought it would make good movie dialogue, but that would mean paying the idiot stoner who said it first for the rights... -
I remember from some early '80s AD&D book, 'superhero' was what they called fighters at a certain experience level. Although TSR has gotten in trouble before about what they put in their books, so the level name isn't necessarily meaningful.I see there was a movie in 2008 called Superhero Movie. But by gosh, I do see wikipedia's entry on the term and it says "Super-heroes" is a trademark co-owned by DC Comics and Marvel Comics.
-
Just say "it's good, I really liked it" and then let US find out that, hey! It's 7 scoops of amazing ass-kicking badass hot chocolate fuck sauce or whatever.
I'm not saying lie about your reaction to it. I'm saying use sleight-of-hand. Tell us it's 'really cool' and then sit back and revel in our nerdgasmic gushing when we actually get to see it.
Cause I'm not sure if you understand but...quotes like the one right up above there can actually HURT a movie. We expect cinematic nirvana, and when it turns out to be simply a really good movie, we're let down. Then it takes years and multiple viewings to really appreciate it.
Chill. -
From Paris, With Love is the attatched trailer. Kick-Ass is merely enclosed with the print. 50/50 whether a Daybreakers ticket will also buy you a piece of kick-assery.
-
Check out that MoMa exhibit. Chakra said to ask, "Paragraph breaks? What are you talking about? All my posts have paragraph breaks!"
-
And the average-joe as superhero story has sooo been done before. MYSTERY MEN, BLANKMAN, even the first half of SPIDER-MAN 1 was about a teenage nerd running around in his pajamas getting his ass kicked.
-
So, even if it was copyrighted, it's a Marvel-owned property using it, so there's no conflict.
-
...if our mutual friend starts a new handle...tradition to ask how to make paragraph breaks...you know, play the country bumpkin in the big city...
-
Will do.
-
Seeing it tomorrow, haven't heard any real fan buzz...
-
...and Nick Cage - finally man, welcome back.
-
Could have used better music though!!!
-
Sure the movie looks good, but I find using "Kick-Ass" as his name is just stupid and annoying.
-
...precisely 47 seconds after I posted by bone-headed question. ;-)
-
. . . Big Daddy looks way too much like Batman.
Totally makes up for making his costume so different from the comic book. -
Mathew Vaughn hasn't put a foot wrong yet. Maybe, he'll be given the Superman reboot on the strength of this?
-
It rocked my world at BNAT... I'll be seeing this again opening weekend!
-
...she's a complete psychopath.
An 11-year-old psychopath.
An 11-year-old psychopath in a naughty schoolgirl outfit.
So, like, take the "ick factor" that came with the way Shadowcat was often portrayed in the Excalibur comic books, and crank it up to 11... -
... is the most fucking irritating screen presence I think I've ever seen. Jesus Christ, she makes me want to puke when she acts all tough. Such a jumped-up, stage school shit. She was fucking annoying in 500 Days of Summer, too. She acts like she's 34 years old. IT'S FUCKING DISTRACTING.
-
i feel like i heard somewhere that nicholas cage's character trains her throughout her life to be an expert assassin - something along those lines, hence her heightened level of bad-assery compared to the high school heroes.
-
How ironic that you use food metaphors to describe this trailer, since your putrid son Harry is a festering, unwashed, sweaty mass of flabby refuse.
Not to mention how much cock was eaten by the makers of this film to get it "plugged" on this site. -
I'm guessing this is the reference you guys are talking about?

Mithun Timothy Chakraborty banned???!
MOTHERFUCKER! He was one of the cool guys.
Now im fucking pissed.
There's a racist piece of shit floating around the KARATE KID tb who's not getting flushed, and yet my man Chakra who only ever talked passionately about movies has been deleted.
Any mods reading this reinstate him please? -
I'll see it but I'm not in any kind of anticipatory mood.
-
Doctor Cosmic you deserve banning too young man! You kiss your mother with that mouth?
ps. Headgeek *is* Harry. You're confusing him with Father Geek - his old man. -
What medical school could you possibly have attended?
-
kick ass. and that is the trailer 3 for dispacable me. with steve carrell. he doesnt feature. short but its very funny.
-
Nice, solid, rich, color palette as opposed to the fucking horrible MTV generic yellow, blue, green look of ever piece of shit made by Tony Scott/Michael Bay and their ilk.
-
i love people who talk so nasty, yet have such dorky names. it really lays bare the desperation of their miserable lives.
-
They never fail to get my adrenaline going.
-
trailer. awful. nasty. I saw the clip where cage shoots her firing range and that put me off seeing the movie. wanted was one of the worst films i have ever had to sit through. though seeing naked jolie was nice. that was only good point in an otherwise awful film. that and that camera guns.
-
this looks great. I love the comic.
-
There's only 7 issues so far.
-
The little lady can kill, maim and say cunt, but a longtime talkbaker can't make a referance to a brilliant sitcom.
-
My expectations for this film are so fucking high right now.
-

My problem with this movie is that Nick Cage is a terrible actor
by poutineforeveryone
He plays the same character in every movie, himself.
-
which was nothing like the comic anyway. This is truer to the source material, and was scripted by Jane Goldman, Vaughn's a good film maker too - so this could be a pip. I'm not 100% I like Millar though.
-
fuck yes.
-
raising arizona, wild at heart, leaving las vegas... i never saw the end of matchstick men, but the part i did see was pretty good. haven't seen bad lieutenant yet, but have heard great things about it.
-
the teenie makeout stuff looks kinda lame but whatever.
-
unless you are threatening physical violence (yeah...right), or just being a non-stop troll..I see no reason to ban anyone.This is a private site..and I respect the owners wishes; but you can't preach freedom of expression, 1st amendment rights, peace, love and understanding while at the same time banning people the minute they say something that offends...no matter how offensive you personally may find it.Perhaps a set of guidelines/rules...so we don't accidentally get someones PC panties in a bunch.
-
Thanks for posting those links, I don't get cable so it's nice to know what the ado wall all about.
-
...seriously this is bullshit.
-
well said sir.
-
Hey Harry,
I'll admit I'm getting swept up in this & really want to see this movie NOW, but aren't you worried aicn's online frenzy will kill it? remember the whole "snakes on a plane" debacle? these trailers are giving away alot too.
However, I get the feeling Kick-Ass could be the real game changer, the high point of the superhero cycle. -
The previous ones were breathtakingly bad. This one is pretty terrific, and makes me want to see the film again, after the previous ones all but killed that sentiment.I still can't believe how poor the previous ones were.
-
His posts are still in the other talkbacks. Maybe they just got deleted here.
-
Can I at least Google it without fear of reprisal????
-
and they both got deleted. Maybe he's not banned after all?
-
Are you people serious?
-
i like
-
Search "curb pussy rash"
-
So does Beaks not watch Curb or something,BringingSexyBack Wordage explained it above pretty well I think, it was in the second to last ep I think where a friend says to Larry she has to take her 9 year old daughter to the doctors because "she has a rash on her pussy"
-
Quite funny I thought, obviously only if you get the reference, which the deleter/banner might not have.
-
LMAO.
-
Remind me never to use it ... hooo boy.
-
or just when used in reference to a 12yr old female? Anyone here ever lived in Asia? Europe? Americans are just so uptight these days...I swear to fuck it is like the Ghost of Jerry Falwell crawled up everyone's ass.
-
...the n----- word in the KARATE KID talkback......makes no fucking sense.
-
...like a massive shit...if it's coming it's coming...
-
Except that you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm.
-
either it is ALL OK; or NONE of it of OK.Ya know whats missing from people these days...fucking principals. People used to practice what they fucking preach...not anymore.If Chakra got banned for a Pedo tinged joke...I better not see any ethnic/body issue/political/religious/age jokes....Allah forbid we offend anyone. It's like AICN was taken over by Wahabbists. ooops..No offense to Wahabbists. Fine people...every one.

If there is going to be a rule, I say full fucking enforcement.I bet right now there is at least one Mod looking at their Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya poster and feeling a bit "dirty".
-
lmfao. Simple response...funny as FUCK.
-
It just seems to be trying too hard
When that kid says "I'm Kickass" it just makes me cringe.
I'm not trolling by the way, just not feeling the same vibe as everyone else on this one which is rubbish really as it's always better to like. -
"just not feeling the same vibe as everyone else on this one which is rubbish really as it's always better to like."
Huh? -
plus a 13 year old Emma Watson threesome. Just saying. PoutineForEveryone is banned.
-
The Talkbacks are what set it apart. But you start down the censorship road and the fun goes away pretty fast.I also fail to see how a site, and the people who run it, can be so offended by a few lewd jokes, offensive as they may be...considering it puts on a pedestal and idolizes an industry, and many people in it, who wallow in the seven deadly sins. Ya think a guy like Tarantino never made a lewd Pedo Joke? Fucker probably has a time share at the Pedobear Hilton in Thailand with Polanski.

by smokingrobot
I'm so there opening weekend.
-
but in an attempt to be amusing and humorous I'm affraid I'd offend the all might OZ and get banned.So..just use your imagination and think of some sick amusing thing I'd have said...
-
You know, I have no problem with movies that completely exclude certain groups, and can suppress the "oh...so anyone can be a Superhero as long as they're white" as asininely sensitive. Then...the last shot of the trailer. First black face I see. Obscenely fat. You know what? Leave us out if you must, but if you present us only as grotesque, non-threatening objects of ridicule, I think that is deserving of notice. And of COURSE I don't think it was deliberate. That's what makes it worse.
-
the link to this film. We would not want to be a party to offending you good sir/mam, and I can definitely see how you'd be offended.

and both make no sense, half of the girls look like dogs Tiger and they are the better looking ones

-
Don't get me wrong he's vveerryy good at that one trick, but deconstructing heroes is pretty much all he does from Red Son to Wolverine to Wanted to Civil War to Kick-Ass now. He's made a career out of it, and that's fine (he's made a lot more money than me) I'm just getting a litlle tired of the same thing over and over. This shouldn't be taken as a blow against the movie though. Looks like Mathew Vaughn did a hell of a job.
-
...in his last couple of sentences.
-
Watch Kill Bill...twice he plays up child sexuality and child rape...TWICE...in the same film! Fuck..he even used an actress to play Go-Go who is notorious in Japan for her under aged (for the US..the Japanese are not so ...naive)nude pictorials. Ya THINK old QT didn't look at her pics when she was 13-18 when fleshing out the character and getting his jollies? You think it was purely an artistic statement and not some personal desires that put her in a fetish schoolgirl outfit? Yeah...right. Those characters would have worked just as well as abused 18yr olds...Meanwhile Chakra makes a harmless funny and gets erased while QT gets blown. That is the kind of hypocrisy I don't get.
-
is the most interesting thing about this. where are all those other trailers?
-
...or potentially dirty words from a post resulting in a strangely filthy string of consciousness mad-lib.
-
Don't say "Hit-girl action".
Some people might seriously get the wrong idea.
By the way, I'd seriously recommend everyone hitting the below link, it's the whole 'pussy rash' sequence from 'curb' that poor sod Chakra got banned for referencing.
"Don't tell your mother"
Fucking classic!! LMFAO!!! -
guess I'm more of a potty mouth than I thought. hope I didn't offend anyone's delicate sensibilities, or virgin ears. C'mon, If Hit-Girl can say "cunt" aren't I allowed a little shoulder room?

you took the Ass from Kick-Ass and the apostrophe S he's. Hell of a job. Very creative. And I notice that you didn't use the word I had in parentheses from my last post. Too easy, right? Co;or me impressed.
-
wouldn't want to mis misunderstood or anything
-
But more posts mean more words to play with right?
PS. I said "Play" you can probably use that for something, right? -
there hasn't been a new issue in fucking months! and it's all probably due to this movie!!
-
sexually suggestive comments, hate filled rants, and venom filled diatribes...we'd be left with nothing. Those are the life blood of an AICN talkback...
-
for the underage storyline and he hit it hard in Kill Bill.
-
there is girl working there that looks just like Alyssa Milano..during her "Who's the Boss" years. "Yeah...I'd love a double double animal style"

QT is one ugly motherfracker
by isleptwithkathybatesandallthatigotwasthi
It wouldn't surprise me if he likes 'em young. The only way he can get pussy is to lure it into his penthouse using a trail of chocolate covered peanuts.
-
You know the old fanboy whine, "well...in REAL LIFE the bad guys would just shoot the people in the funny costumes" or "why don't they just SHOOT instead of playing ninja" ... I like that these heroes don't have some secret honor code against using firearms in addition to playing ninja. Adds a gritty sort of realism I think.
-
I'm already having heavy problems with this film... When I read the comic book the appeal I had with it that made it different from the other comics was the genuine attempt at realism. And here we are watching the trailer to this movie and they are doing things that the comic book said would be bullshit. It pretty much makes the problems this kid had in the original story trite. This Hollywood shit in the movie is just reinforcing what the comic book was attempting to dismiss. that you can't do the very things you see in comic books and movies. It was the world of (pseudo) reality. It's really looking stupid to me right now. I'll just take it as a totally different story then the one that was in the comic to take it serious at all.
-
decrying (from thier soapbox) the "travesty" that is the funnier, hardcore preview to stand up and take ownership and responsibility for the huge backlash that will come when mommies and daddies say it is ok for johnny 10 year old to see this movie and they realize it isn't the boring, vanilla BS that is this trailer.
-
The balding, twitchy, long faced loser who battled everyone so he could play Superman and failed, is hard at work trying to redeem himself with crap like Ghost Rider. Kick Ass might help his rep, but he needs to chill with this super hero thing of his.
-
Not in a creepy, "ewww, pervo" kind of way mind you, just in a metaphorical fanboy kind of way, you know, like we talk about eyeballs being raped and all that stuff. I'm not one of those guys that, like, has to keep his porch light off at Halloween or anything.
-
I noticed and thought it was cool that there were so many people of color in this comic series. There were latin and black people through out this comic book unlike many other comics I've read. It was another attempt at reality and I appreciated that aspect of the book too. This movie just yanks out that aspect as well as other realistic pieces from the movie. Everything NON-typical about "Kickass" was just made typical by the movie. It's going to be one of the many things troubling me about this film. I'm entitled to my opinion. It bothers me.
-
And Kick Ass will further augment his ongoing redemption, assuming he doesn't blow it all in that upcoming medieval flick the title of which I forgot.

-
... I would like to take this opportunity to say, that and sexual problems y'all have with the trailers I've seen to this point is all your own baggage. I don't really see the problem with this. This CLEARLY isn't being marketed to kids- a good thing- and I fail to see how an 11 year old kicking ass and taking names is exploitation. This actress is not slave labor, no one is forcing her to do this. In addition, I would like to offer that she is living out my 11-year-old, picked on social outcast's ultimate fantasy. I dreamed of being able to do this to my classmates from the tender age of EIGHT. Boys aren't the only ones who like to kick some serious ass. Seriously, I log on to see wassup, and I find Chakra is banned, people are whining, and someone is calling QT a pedophile. Jesus... I must have broken into the wrong bottle of pills tonight. This can't be.
-
to be able to beat the shit out of my classmates...yeah, sign me up. Doubt I'm the only one on that guestlist, though.
-
I appreciate your oh so sincere concern for my feelings, but they aren't made of glass. I don't want anybody taking anything down. If I have to live with unconscious racial stereotyping, so be it. But I reserve the right to point it out. If you're not comfortable with that, imagine how it feels to be on this side.

Apparently it has just been verified online.

No Kick-Ass trailer, damn it! But did get the A-Team. Daybreakers was beautifully violent and the Anti-Twilight with a lot of Dafoe awesomeness. Absolutely loved it.

If they don't have super powers, why is Hit Girl leaping around like a wushu Matrix extra and flinging switchblades like John Locke?
-
What the hell is wrong with you people? Why the fuck is all of this pedo stuff even getting thrown around? There is absolutely NOTHING exploitative about Kick-Ass. Grow the fuck up.

Hopefully, she leaps like that because she was trained from birth. Which means that her daddy was planning this long before the initial "Kick Ass" incident, I guess. I mean, if a stunt person can do it (without wires or FX) then it doesn't require super powers, right?
-
Sounds like a cool Marvel Comics space weapon or something. Oh wait, I can't use "cool" and "Marvel Comics" in the same sentence anymore. Those days are over.
-
Vile, foul mouthed little kids engaged in acts of violence. Then theres an X factor-something about the movie just feels...ugly. Count me out.
-
and it was a packed AMC theater. Pretty cool.
-
just kidding. evil little pricks. finally one does something useful in this movie.
-
as the comic series.
-
But no thanks for your name! Geezus. :-P I'll definitely check out the comics Kick Ass is adpated from.
-
I guess he's adapting the fire-blindly-and-one-bullet-will-hit-the-target-surely approach with all the films he's in this year.
-
Boston is often considered the milk shake capital of the world! My name has relevance! (not really, TWBB is just my fave film)
-
But in a good way.
I liked Watchmen, and im not a Zach Snyder hater... but it would probably have been a much better movie if done by a guy like Matthew Vaughn.
-
Had a weird and creepy pedo vibe. Still a great movie, but it kinda creeps me out.
-
I spelled "professional" incorrectly. Fuck.
-
crossed with the Robin concept taken to a logical extreme, what would happen if a child was trained to be a fighter/assassin.
-
You can't avoid how she is trying to seduce him and how he is tempted. It's all there.
-
Thats not a good thing

Do you really think it'll hit outside of niche crowds?
by unchienandalou
I have doubts. I hate superhero movies and most forms of cinematic gimmickry, which leads me to believe I'm not going to be onboard with the bukkake parade on this one. Perhaps my hatred of children prevents me from buying into an alternate reality where a feeble kid could wield deadly weapons better than somebody empowered with an older age. A little girl saying cunt and cutting off limbs doesn't constitute the reinvention of geek cinema's wheel in my estimation.
-
Will lead to a vicious backlash if this is simply a matter of people feeling special for being privy to it first and then expressing their admiration for it in an exaggerated manner. This has happened countlessly in the past, so hopefully the film's over-the-moon champions will be understanding of the instinct to approach it with a circumspect mindset.
-
It's called extensive training since birth.
-
for all those who have felt tempted to dress up and fight crime as if they are super-heroes. And for god's sake, no colour blinded people allowed. They costumes would be too horrible, like the Blue Raja dressed all in green.
-
It's a strange AICN phenomenum that they hype the shit out of stuff. I'm starting to believe that they love the hype more then the movies themselves, and they judge the movies on the hype and not on their own qualities, if you know what i mean.
-
I just came back two days and I asked my friend did he want to see avatar and he said no. he really wasnt interested.
-
but that scene in the firing range with his daughter is awful where he shoots her is awful. there is something amoral about this film.
-
Can't wait! The Hives song was nice choice too.
-
Remember his T2 commentary where Cameron said that even in the context of fighting killer robots from the future it would be obscenely wrong to show a child firing a weapon, so he would only show John helping to carry and reload for others?
-
mostly for the indignation and self-righteous protests by people who are entitled to NOTHING from this site - least of all "fair" treatment (whatever that means). If Harry and the gang are sitting around and randomly banning people on whims, then I say more power to them. Just because we like to get super far up our own asses and say dumb shit - doesn't mean the creators of this site owe us anything. If we don't like how they run this site - our only legitimate recourse is to FUCK OFF. We didn't create this site, they did. It's free. If they want to ban me because I say some dumb shit - it doesn't matter if I'm "misunderstood" or "quoted out of context" or if what I said wasn't as bad as what someone else said - if Harry Knowles says I need to SHUT THE FUCK UP for good in HIS talkback, then I need to SHUT THE FUCK UP and call it ice cream.

I WOULD WATCH THIS MOVIE IF IT DIDN'T HAVE 2 THINGS
by bringingsexyback
1) Nic Cage
2) Chloe being shot in the chest by Nic Cage
Make no mistake - this general audiences friendly trailer is a misleading bait-and-switch for the real thing, and any word-of-mouth from psychologically mature audience members will sink this movie within a week. -
How do you know about that scene? Is it in the comic or something?
-
It was in the first, horribly cut trailer. That's what cemented my hateful attitude for this movie to begin with.
-
If this were any other site, especially one I ran, a lot of you would have felt the sting of the banhammer long ago.
-
Rooting for Kick Ass to fail as if their lives depend on it. So if this movie becomes a hit, will you be back to admit that your pretentious, self-righteous comments on these talkbacks were wrong? Personally I don't care if the film turns out to be massively popular or sinks like Watchmen. Call me crazy, but box office has absolutely zero effect on me or my opinion of a movie. Who fucking cares?
BSB, are you suggesting that you are a "psychologically mature" person because you're not interested in Kick Ass? The Green Lantern talkbacks (wherein you fantasized about Ryan Reynolds' cock in tight spandex) would like to have a word with you. Also, you're a Michael Jackson groupie who saw no problem with a 40-year-old sleeping in the same bed with a bunch of kids. -
... but since it's illegal to actually go around beating people up, they all just give out blankets to the homeless and tell kids not to do drugs and other lame-ass sh*t like that. Check out this website: http://www.worldsuperheroregistry.com/ and get ready to laugh your ass off.
-
I never read the comic but I hated Wanted as a comic so I never gave Kick Ass as shot. His stuff comes across as "look how clever I am."
-
There's so much I hate about this film I don't know where to begin.
I can't remember a time ever when I've felt such vitriol towards something based purely on its concept and a few trailers.
I guess you hang around AICN for long enough and something's bound to rub off! -
... is so far the ebst KICK ASS trailer yet. There's soemthign so perversely wrong with it that just makes it hillarious and so devilish enjoyable. I'm actually happy that a movie like this actually exists. A nice contrast to the PC shit.
-
I think what's 'perversely wrong' is that dude in the most recent trailer getting a fucking hard on over Hit Girl.
-
last but not least i'd like to thank the big man upstairs. kundalini out.
-
Pretty sure he didn't say he got hard just that he was in love - HUGE DIFFERENCE. And, real-life super-heroes can do a bit more than hand out blanekts, lol, never heard of "citizen's arrest"?!
-
You need witnesses to justify and proof you had legit reasons to take the freedom of soembody else, which is what an arrest is, the removal of somebody's freedom to bring into judical trial.The things that this masked vigilantes would do would be not only illegal, but irrelevant. to beat down some muggers or criminals and leave them tied up to some place for the cops to get them, it would be usless. There would still be no real linking evidence between them and the crimes they are supposed to have practiced. Wors,t the anominity of the masked vigilante actions would mean there would be no witnesses to the events. adn worst of all, the vigilantes are not a recognized law enformcement entity. This means any people the masked vigilantes would catch would get scott free and out of prision in an heartbeat for illegal arrest. Hell, they migth not even see the inside of a jail. Hell, the cops would probably not even dare to make the arrest, in fear a smart lawer would fuck them up in court and make them lose their jobs.
-
I didn't read it that way. It looked more like an expression of admiration. sometimes, i'm forced to admit with others who complain that americasn do tend to have a pretty puritanical and repressed vision of things. Sometimes it's very hard to disagree with that.
-
It looks like one of the best times to have at the movies ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of comic books.
-
go watch the hit girl red band trailer..sooo sick damn i dont wanna have to wait this movie is gonna umm KICK ASS!
-
"Hero at Large" with John Ritter? It's entirely possible.
-
Just kiddin', there'll be a lotta nerd-love for this project. First of all, Mark Millar is the Michael Bay of comics. I think he's a mad bastard who puts out big, kinetic comics. His Ultimates was one of the best titles of the decade. We've seen how this concept is polarizing people who see it. It's all very subjective- either the "joke" appeals to you, or you can analyze the shit out of it, denying that it has any value as entertainment. I get the fact that some of you are very cerebral, and expect, I dunno, a transcendant moviegoing experience. I don't know if I speak for the "common geek" (is there such a thing?), but as long as something's not out-and-out retarded, I'm willing to give it a shot. The director and cast inspire faith in me, and the trailers represent the source material well (a problem I had with WANTED). Sitting here critiquing an action scene with an 11-year-old girl in it makes ya sound like some kinda narrow-minded pansy.
-
Vaguely.
-
FUCKING AWESOME with 7 SCOOPS OF BADASS on top and a HEAPING HELPING OF HOT CHOCOLATE LOVE and one helluva cool Cherry to complete it.
Yeah right. Sorry we don't believe you because you're a fucking hack. -
Comparing somebody with Michael Bay is not a praise, it's a damnation. You are basically comparing somebody with shit. Lots and lots of shit.
-
It's directed by the guy who made the excelent and awesome LAYER CAKE. That guy gets my shilling. The fact the movie looks completly insane and bonkers only adds to it's charm.
-
I was just making a comparison; it wasn't really praise. Like it or don't like it, Bay does massive, blockbuster productions that obviously don't appeal to discriminating viewers like you. Millar's stuff are the comic book equivalent of that.
-
1. An 11 year old girl saying "cunt". There is absolutely no reason for a girl that young to know or say that word. Call me old fashioned but it bugs me.
2. Christopher Mintz-Plaatz. Why do they feel the need to carry his career any further? He's a one hit wonder in my eyes. Him and that one note hack Michael Cera. -
I liked Layer Cake, and this looks off the chain.
-
Admiration? He says "I think I'm IN LOVE WITH HER"
That's pedo talk if ever I heard it.
By the way, I'm a Brit. -
I agree that's a bit much. But more McLovin is a good thing in my eyes. He's yer basic go-to goofy dork. For me, Cera is a likable, low-key guy. I'm not easily impressed, but he's like, a kid. I'll forgive him if he doesn't have the range of a Dustin Hoffman at this stage in his career.
-
How can you call Mintz-Plasse a one hit wonder? He has played in two major films thus far, and, in both, his character was scripted almost identically. Just because someone gets typecast doesn't mean that they are one-note or a hack. I have to completely disagree with you about Cera, as well. I don't understand all of the hate towards him, Year One was the worst thing he's done, and it was in no way his fault. Can't wait for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World to shut up all of these Cera haters.
-
That is the only negative part of the trailer -- it cuts out the response to the "I'm in love with her". Seriously, only an individual with EXTREME mental deficiencies could possibly call this film pedo. Very, very extreme. All of you bringing up the subject have my sympathy, as you have obviously dealt with it on a personal level. That, or you aren't paying any attention and are just hating something because you have the ability to hate. So that's good.

She's too young to inspire "Portman Professional" lust.
by stuntcock mike
Just barely though.
"Happy Birthday Mr. President"
Yeesh.
-
First time poster here...but I had to ring in on this.Let me tell you...by the time me or any of my friends was 11 or 12...we'd have put any sailor to shame..and we even knew what the words meant too. As someone who has an educator as a good friend, let me assure you at 11 this girl is as dirty mouthed as anyone here.
-
So let me get this straight...you're defending a film where a guy in his late teens exclaims he is 'in love' with a LITTLE GIRL of 12.
...and I'm the one with extreme mental deficiencies for saying this is pedo.
That's fucking hilarious. Hilarious.
-
...is a funny name.
-
...as the rest of us. What te hell kind of godforsaken, parentless shithole do you live in where kids talk like that?
-
SO, I'VE READ ONLY THE FIRST FEW ISSUES OF THIS AND LOVED IT AT FIRST BUT THE IDEA BECOME REALLY OLD EXTREMELY FAST AND COMPLETELY LOST INTEREST. NOW, THIS MOVIE LOOKS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY STUPID!!! SERIOUSLY WHY DOES ANYONE WANT TO SEE THIS. IT LOOKS CHEAP AND DOESN'T HIT THE TONE AT ALL. WHY DO YOU NERDS WANT TO SEE THIS FILM? YET YOU SLAM AVATAR? DO YOU GUY'S ACTUALLY LIKE BAD MOVIES? I'M STARTING TO THINK SO BECAUSE EVERY TIME SOMEONE ON THIS SITE LOVES A MOVIE IT TURNS OUT TO BE BAD AND I MEAN REALLY BAD. I'M REALLY CONFUSED. IT LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS THE DIRECTORS AND THAT'S WHY THEY LIKE THE MOVIES.
-
I think I actually understood some of that! He does raise an interesting point. I've noticed here that there are times when, for whatever reason, geeks will come out of the woodwork to praise some obscure 80s curiousity like it was the finest artistic achievement of the era. Quite amusing.
-
this is totally Vaughn's film by the looks of it. Which is definitely a good thing, he still hasn't let me down.
-
I'd say given your shock over common language usage by the tween/teen set...you probably live in Utah, Idaho or Montana.
-
I don't live in some remote area. I'm just saying as a rule, normal kids do not talk like that outside of an episode of South Park. No matter how much you insist. Common language my ass. Further proof that California is the gateway to Hell.
-
Brushfires, gangbangers, and now, foulmouthed little kids. Honestly, I'd move.
-
and I'm not an old man by a long shot...just something about seeing that little girl say "cunt" was bit over the top. I know kids swear, but it was a tough pill to swallow. I'll wait to see the movie in it's entirety before I can fully judge. Other than that, I'm all for Kick-Ass being an awesome movie.
-
its looks so ridiculous, i just cant get too hyped for it. if it turns out to be great, ill be surprised...big recommendation from harry but that dont mean too much these days.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f27K1RN4ceU
-
I didn't actually watch the whole movie, but saw a few scenes on television. One scene I'm thinking of had a line, "Hi, mind if I drop in?" or maybe that's from a different movie. "Such a nice, young man," said an elderly person. At least in my memory.
-
That video was wrong in so many ways, and yet, i kept watching it...
-
The language is tame. Go piss off an 11 year old who's confident you won't get your hands on him and see what comes out of his mouth. And shooting a kid is one thing when it's a tough as nails, willingly participating kid rather than a helpless victem kid.

The Banning or editing of Chaka is lame
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
I was banned once for telling dirty jokes, guess I should have included Chocolate covered pussy juice. Seriously Harry and Co, you guys shoulda banned over half of us after the Mass Sex and the City review... Now THAT was some funny shit. You guys shoot yourselves in the foot when you pick on someone who is known to have intelligent debate yet people like Nerd Rage float around for fuckin weeks.

Jan 10, 2010 12:42:01 AM CST
also this film looks...dare I say it.... Kickass?
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
-
the girl is a little more world wise than your average 11 yr old. its a taunt. the kid who says, "..I'm in love.." is probably only 3 or 4 years older than her and I'm sure it's in jest and not literal.you people sound like the same fucks that are translating the Bible in a literal sense. bunch of tards.

So he's 15 or 16 and she's 12. TWELVE!!!
You're telling me you think that's cool?
It didn't sound like it was in jest to me. The geezer was leering over here.
It kind of disgusts me that you are defending that scene. -
I think it's very difficult to try and explain that scene away in any other light other than a creepy guy crushing on a 12 year old.
He even makes a sighing sound before he delivers the line!
Seriously, this shit is so wrong. -
Yeah, because Britain is not know for sexual repression morals and mentality and all that, right?
-
No no, it's not discriminating viewers who find Michael Bay's movie awful. It's just people who aren't retard.
-
You've completely lost me with your incomprehensible last post.
To be honest anyone who tries to defend that whole "in love with a 12 year old" part of that trailer as you were doing is not someone who's opinion means anything to me anyway. -
For a young child it seems acting comes pretty natural to her. She's not annoying and her acting isn't insincere. Hopefully she won't get typecast as an angry little girl after "Kick Ass".
-
OK... we, as viewers/readers know how old Hit Girl is. Check. However, the kid viewing a crappy internet vid of a masked girl who's identity is unknown and age undetermined kicking ass might be forgiven for his reaction.
The point is, we know. That's the damn joke. It's supposed to be squick-worthy. And considering the "acceptable to be attractive" build most girls strive for (see, pre-teen boy as a girl), I again say, he didn't know any better. To which I again say, that's the damn joke.
-
only works if they are a) puppets or b)cartoons
-
I can safely say the last three decades or so in terms of movie clearly makes that a highly asshat statement. Unless you were being sarcastic. The internet's built in sarcasm buffer is a tricksy bastard.
-
Can we have an edit button over here? Harry? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
-
...for saying that the only think Merrick brought to the site was copyright infringement. I thought it was a pretty funny line, someone else apparently...didn't. Of course, this was before the current "look look look look look-at-me I've got a twitter account, aren't I all teh kewl 'n stuff?" Merrick, back when he was still posting a dozen youtube videos with each and every two line, second hand, three day old, borrowed story taken from elsewhere on the web, and posted as news. 99% of times the ban hammer is both stupidly random and utterly bewildering when it actually gets used around here.
-
If that's supposed to be a joke I guess it's not my humour. I just find everything about the character of Hit Girl extremely unpleasant but as has been proven by this and the previous Kick Ass talkback I'm in the minority.
Thanks for being civil though. A lot of people on here resort to name calling and profanity when they disagree with you. -
...because it will be an utter box office bomb. First off you have an R rating on it, which means less revenue up front. The comic book fans that can legally go see it alone are just a niche market. Then the general public 18+ that can go see it on their own, they will be repulsed at seeing an 11 year old girl swearing, slicing guys legs off, and shooting men through their mouths. These general public patrons will be parents who will have sons/daughters of their own, and they will have such disdain at seeing such a thing from such a young girl. Older people can take R-rated action, ala T2 or Die Hard, but even they have limits. Right there you lose 80% of the market. Secondly it's a comic book movie, which as discussed before is a niche market already. Unless it's a big draw like Batman or Iron Man. THIS is not a big draw, nor was it ever a big draw to begin with. Which leads me to my third point. It's a niche of a niche comic book, meaning its fans are only a few among the already small number of comic book fans out there. All of this means that this movie will open to around $10 million or so, which is already the bulk of the hard-core comic book fans, then drop off afterwards. This means that the $65 million spent on the budget alone, plus the average $35 in marketing, equals over $75 million lost for the studio after one takes away the theaters' commission. Utter failure.
-
...I forgot to mention that includes the additional revenue earned from a worldwide gross. So $10 million earned here + the supposed $25 million earned overseas is $35 million. Divide that by 2 (theaters' commission), subtract that from the $95 million cost, and you have a loss of over $75 million.
-
I hope you're right.
This horrible piece of shit deserves to bomb. -
I am a dog. This trailer makes my lipstick come out of the sheath. Also, I eat poo.
-
This movie looks like it is barely one step above "spy kids" meets "Mystery Men". This movie even looks like it handles its premise hold half assed... are they teen losers who want to do a super hero twist on "revenge of the nerds" or are they actually real vigilantes who, despite not having fucked up lives, find there is enough injustice in the world to take on real criminals and still show up for geometry class. Even as a farce that's pretty weak.
-
...subject themselves to every trailer, clip, and news article about it? And they post several times in every Kick Ass talkback, in a pathetic "look at me" fashion. Someone PLEASE explain this bizarre, masochistic behavior to me.
-
Not many people have seen it....I am slowly telling all friends to watch it no matter what. My best friend watched it last night with me, and totally loved it. She is so stocked to see Kick-Ass now too. Matthew Vaughn is a good filmmaker.
-
That's because the internet is full of contradictions. It's cool to hate, didn't you get the memo?
-
This website is about opinions, both positive and negative.
Stick around a while, you'll get the idea. -
You hate Kick Ass because seeing a 10-year-old girl in a Halloween costume gives you dirty thoughts, which you then project onto those of us who think this movie looks like a cool, quirky, unique take on the superhero genre. You've posted multiple times in every recent Kick Ass talkback. We heard your opinion loud and clear, so why not move on to a talkback about something you actually like?
-
Come again? You have some serious confusion going on in your mind. And issues. Lots of issues.
-
I don't like what's being portrayed in this film and am merely expressing myself here as to many, many other people about a great many other thing. You're right though, it is an utter waste of my time.
What fucking pisses me off is that you attack me personally, the same way you did with BSB in the last talkback. Unnecessary. -
You're absolutely correct about me being confused, your previous post was very confusing...
"Yeah, because Britain is not know for sexual repression morals and mentality and all that, right?"
Would you mind re-writing that into something that makes sense?
Incidentally, I suspect you yourself have lots of issues. I've been reading the Star Trek talkback. You're not exactly Mr. Popularity are you? -
First off this trailer is one of the best I've seen in ages - it looks fun as hell. People were cheering after it @ Daybreakers. Second - from what I saw at ComicCon it has enough of a "heart" to hook normal people. People LIKE wish fulfillment fantasy (see AVATAR's success) and this isn't mean spirited to comic fans - it just takes the piss out of them on a level normal people can relate to. Perfect for mainstream to get behind that and then root for the underdog. For all the fucked up violence Hit Girl dishes out in that Red Band trailer (which was shown @ Con to applause with only temp VFX) the best bit was Kick Ass' honest reaction to the carnage - an on screen mirror of the audience's shock and awe. That's good film-making - it immediately diffuses the shock value with an empathetic character. If the whole movie works on that level, enough people will enjoy it to make it a BLADE style sleeper at the least. $65 million is low enough to recoup investment + proft before dvd sales. Besides - AICN talk backers be damned, Nic Cage gets people into theaters. Also - you're all going to see it whether you bitch about it or not just to have something to praise/complain about online, so they have the geek camp covered.
-
Do people here know that this movie is actually based on a series of comics?
They talk like they don't. -
Looks like doo doo on his face.
-
I can fly, see through walls, be invisible, read your mind, and deliver TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
-
I'd like to remind you that it was "your side" that started the personal attacks when it was insinuated that anyone who liked the Hit Girl clip was a pedophile. That put a damper on my manners.
-
I am looking forward to this movie so much. It is going to be great. The fact that is not a studio made movie and Matthew Vaughn put up a lot of his own money this movie is going to blow minds!
-
i think if a kid is old enough to brutally murder 15 men then she is old enough to get busy. This is a fictional character we are talking about right?
-
you are just whining at this point. tell it to someone who cares. most of us like it, and it will likely rack up on DVD
-
This doesn't look like the worst thing ever put to a screen. That would be "Watchmen." This would be a rental to me. An 11 year old ninja girl who uses her severe lack of body mass to take down grown men 90 times her size? McLovin reprising his role as the "its super cool to be an irritating geek stereotype" guy? The school dork who doesn't have the balls to himself so he invents an over-the-top alterego? Normally, I could suspend my disbelief for a movie, but this is trying waaaay to hard to be some kind of novelty. I'm sure most audiences will find these characters EXTREMELY irritating. The A-Team looks like a great movie. It's a generic action film, which normal people can enjoy. Kick-Ass will develop a cult following. On a large scale audiences won't flock to it. Plus, you can already tell from the trailer that this movie is trying way too hard to be an underdog crowdpleaser. For a large majority, that translates to zero replay ability!
-
Thanks for getting my back, dude. Really appreciate it. Frankly this is a silly movie that will come and go without any notice and fanfare save for some on the fringe niche. However, it will register in the annals of cinematic history as the turning point where mainstream movie-makers have taken to exploiting a little girl in the most violent, horrendous ways in pursuit of the almight buck.
-
Don't mention it dude, anytime.
We're definitely on the same page with this one.
-
Mate I never called anyone a pedo, I'm always careful not to personally attack people on here.
Anyways, I'm off to the Lost talkback. (Something I like!) -
"I've heard alot about this movie, only good things, ya know from people who have seen it here at AICN. But I thought the movie was going to be more serious in tone. To me this just looks like a weekend romp comedy?" - UM
I'm guessing that is to get poeple in the theatre, and then pull the rug out from under them with the more serious stuff. Hopefully the balance of both aspects will be good. The only thing that put me off was the gun-flying-in-the-air-to-be-recaught schtick that is WAY overdone. -
Just kidding. Everyone called me a plant a couple months ago for posting a positive review on here. This movie will entertain the hair right off your perennium. Everyone will love it and the haters (GRINNING WHITE SKULL and THE LAST BOY SCOUT) will have mixed emotions. It won't be a massive blockbuster though. So the haters will be gladdened a bit. It will make its money back and do well on home vhs I predict.
-
I will definitely be seeing this...plus they totally sold me by using "Hey Little World" by The Hives in the trailer. AWESOME.
