The "Kick-Ass" film series is a British-American action-comedy about unconventional superheroes, based on the Marvel comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. Known for its unique blend of humor and violence, the series has gained acclaim from both critics and audiences. It consists of two movies: "Kick-Ass" (2010), directed by Matthew Vaughn, and "Kick-Ass 2" (2013), directed by Jeff Wadlow.
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.
After Kick-Ass’ insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, he joins a patrol led by the Colonel Stars and Stripes. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist — reborn as The Mother Fucker — only the blade-wielding Hit-Girl can prevent their annihilation.
