Actor Allusion:
- In the film, Big Daddy was a cop and burns to death. Keep in mind, neither of these things happened in the comic when Nicolas Cage wasn't involved.
- While Big Daddy questioning Hit-Girl on John Woo was in the comics, it helps that he starred in one John Woo directed film, Face/Off.
The Danza: Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays Chris D'Amico.
Dawson Casting: Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Red Mist) and Lyndsy Fonseca (Katie), as well as several other actors, are in their early 20's yet play teenage characters. Somewhat averted with Kick-Ass himself, Aaron Johnson was 19 when the film was released.
Development Hell: The sequel. It was initially announced to be made for a 2012/2013 release but is on hold due to Aaron Johnson taking time off acting to be with his daughter and Matthew Vaughn directing other projects.
Dueling Movies: With Defendor.
Executive Meddling: Averted, or rather 'avoided'. It seems that before ending up in Lionsgate Studios, the producers of the movie tried several other studios who all had the same ultimatum: "We'll take it, if you drop Hit-Girl or make her 19." Thankfully, they didn't.
Fake American: Aaron Johnson (Dave) and Mark Strong (Frank D'Amico) are both English.
- Also, Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher, who play two of D'Amico's henchmen.
Hey, It's That Guy!: Red Mist is McLovin, his dad is Lord Blackwood, his mom is Sara Pezzini, Kick Ass is the love interest from Angus, Thongs, & Full-Frontal Snogging, and Hit Girl is the little sister in Five Hundred Days of Summer and Angie the newspaper editor from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie.. Marty also appeared in Superbad, and recently played Jacob in Hot Tub Time Machine. Two of D'Amico's Mooks are played by Dexter Fletcher and Agent Clay from Hellboy/Henry Van Statten- see Fake American. Katie is both Ted Mosby's daughter as well as Katherine Mayfair's. Todd is Tate Langdon.
Name's the Same: Mindy Macreedy is the name of a country singer.
