Kick-Ass (film)/Trivia
- 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.
- 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..
