When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist -- reborn as The Mother F%&*^r -- only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world's first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she's forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Goofs

At Dave's father's funeral, Dr. Gravity tells him the team would love to help, but can't because they "just got out on parole."

This is inaccurate because parole refers to early release from prison following a conviction. Although the Justice Forever members were arrested, held and released, they were never formally charged or convicted of any crime.

User Reviews

Fun and Violence

For many people the first one was a bit out of the box,many thought the young star was exploited too much, well folks it is a sequel so it is worse. In the first movie there was and air of innocence about the main characters well this is thrown out the door in the first scene. The movie is full of violence, full of foul language and choc block of disturbing scenes everything that was said about the first one is doubled here it holds nothing back. The story is a revenge story but the revenge is twisted and really disturbing. The scenes involving Hit-Girl this time around are not for the faint hearted and the scenes involving The M*****F***** are disturbing but hilarious. This movie is so much fun. If you liked the first one well everything in this one is doubled as it is a sequel, but a special mention to Chloë Grace Moretz who in my opinion is a fantastic actresses every movie I have seen her in she has stole the show. Fun and Violence. 7/10
