When Kick-Ass and Red Mist enter the burning lumber warehouse, they pull open the front doors, which clearly have glass in them. When they exit the same building, they jump through the front doors, which now have no glass in them at all. The fire hasn't reached the doors yet, so the glass should still be there. See more »
Quotes
[first lines]
Dave Lizewski:
I always wondered why nobody did it before me. I mean, all those comic books, movies, TV shows. You think that one eccentric loner would've made himself a costume. I mean, is everyday life really so exciting? Are schools and offices so thrilling that I'm the only one who fantasized about this? Come on, be honest with yourself. At some point in our lives we all wanna be a superhero.
Dave Lizewski:

A great adaptation of the source material makes for a very entertaining and violent ride. Begs the question, what would a superhero be like in real life? If you dig violent action and can handle a lot of profanity, this movie could be for you. Chloe Grace Moretz without question steals the show in this one.
