The EMTs that responded to Dave's accident put a neck brace on him once he was in the ambulance and they'd removed his superhero mask. EMTs assess c-spine injuries at the scene; they would never transfer a person to an ambulance without a neck brace if he needed one. 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:
That's not me,by the way. That's some Armenia guy with a history of mental health problems.

The first time I saw this film I was a bit disappointed I mean I loved the Big Daddy and Hit girl parts of the story I just didn't like the Kickass story all that much. His fight scenes were good but I just didn't care for the character or his group of friends the way I did for Big Daddy and Hit girl.
The second time watching it he did grow on me more but that could be because in the time between veiwings I read both Kickass graphic novels, so now this film is quite near the top of my fave comic book films (The Dark Knight, Sin City, Watchmen, X-men First class, Scott Pilgrimm Versus The World, The Crow).
This film did something something I thought o film could....it made Nicolas Cage cool again! 7/10
