"Kick Ass" in theaters April 2010.

I never read the comic, but it seems like "Mystery Men" just not as wacky.



Anyone know more about the movie?

Oh, yea, Mclovin is one of the heroes.

so, the bullet magically went through the pink jacket with out a single tear to be stopped by the vest underneath?

amazing.

There is a tear in the jacket.

the real problem is that the bullet would still cause serious injury to the girl.I am pretty certain it would dang near kill her. She certainly would not be jumping up and willing to take a 2nd or 3rd shot.

Also the round would burn her fingers when she pulled it out.

yeah its supposed to be like getting hit in the body with a sledge hammer

Cuddles said:

it often puts grown men in the hospital. It can even be fatal for adults. I would think it would kill a little girl pretty much instantly.

there is also the "at this range" line? At this range....at that range it is still close to its muzzle velocity which is a bullets top speed. At 750mph+ (9mm are supersonic) it would pop her heart, shatter her ribs, and snap her spine in half... the move name is true....it looks KICK ASS!

OnlyNDaUsa said:

Why doesn't all that happen to Superman when he gets shot?

sextonseven said:

he is bullet proof? even his EYE is bullet proof!

the real questions are how does he trim his nails? and WHO cuts his hair?

Ummmmm.....IT'S A MOVIE.

that is not within the bounds of suspension of disbelief. Shooting a propane tank to have it explode is fine (even if just as inaccurate) but you can not shoot a 10 year old in the chest and have her hope up a moment latter.

OnlyNDaUsa said:

And so is the girl obviously.

OnlyNDaUsa said:

if it's in the script, then yes you can...

sextonseven said:

and fingers made of asbestos!

roodboi said:

if you want to make a stupid movie. There are some rules they have to follow. But I will watch it when it is out on DVD.

roodboi said:

Exactly.

OnlyNDaUsa said:

it's a fucking movie, not a documentary...if you want realism, stay away from any movie that involves capes or Nicolas Cage

I seriously LOATH Nicolas Cage,,,,,but this flick seem like it will wear its title pretty well

I remember flipping through the books in the store when they first came out. It was non-stop violence.

you people are way too serious.

Back in 1989, when the first Batman movie came out, I had a big discussion with a friend about how the Joker took down the Batplane with one gunshot. I was all, "No way would Batman's plane be felled by one bullet! That doesn't make any sense!"

I haven't evolved too far from that, really. I say carry on with the debate.

well the gag was that it was a very long gun barrel so the bullet would have a higher velocity. Which is true to a point, but the bullet would still lack the mass (save a golden BB situation) to do much more damage than any other bullet. The round was and body and load seemed pretty standard. So in reality the long barrel would just make it that much harder to aim.

But there is something overtly geeky over being picky over flaws in super hero movies! (like Superman....where did all that krypton come from? they would be lucky to find a few grams on all of earth.
