Instead of a traditional score, the filmmaker was considering needle drops of popular songs to be played throughout.
Let me take a look at it. Vaughn sent over that first segment, with the man jumping off the top of a skyscraper. If Vaughn was worried about money while making the film, that fear was hitting a new levels as it was nearing completion.
In this case, that was doubly true as the reaction would determine if Vaughn could drum up studio interest and land a distributor.
However, all that changed once the footage was revealed. People like this? Hall H went insane and it was the highlight of the day. Not long after, Vaughn secured a deal with Lionsgate to distribute the film. It launched April 16, , and had already generated controversy due to reports of Hit-Girl saying the C-word, among other things.
Though the film received largely positive reviews, some critics decried its edgy content. You know what? You inhabit a world I am so very not interested in. I still stand by it. It says a sad thing about society that the only way to do that is to make the character 11 years old.
I was over the moon with an unbranded, R-rated release in April, and the film holds its own over time. When I saw Deadpool , I felt vindicated again because people were making R-rated superhero films and they were working. For Millar, the most satisfying moment was going out on Halloween in the fall of and seeing two young girls dressed in the purple wigs and costumes of Hit-Girl.
We had a good box office run, but I know it was a bigger hit than the numbers said. Moretz popped on Instagram the other day to announce she and others would be taking questions to mark the anniversary, and was happy to see so many people who still care about the movie.

Mindy admired the young vigilante, although Damon was not impressed. After meeting Kick-Ass, however, he softened somewhat towards him, and allowed him to stay in contact with them if he ever needed their assistance. Damon was tracked down at his home by Marcus, who expressed disgust at him for seeking vigilante justice and "brainwashing" Mindy into becoming a killer.
Marcus warned Damon that a corrupt detective named Vic Gigante had been working for Frank D'Amico ever since Damon rejected the chance to do so and was looking for Kick-Ass because he was being blamed for Big Daddy and Hit-Girl's actions.
Later, Big Daddy single-handedly attacked Frank D'Amico's warehouse, killing every thug inside before burning the warehouse down.
However, unbeknownst to Big Daddy, the entire event was recorded by D'Amico's son Chris , who placed a secret camera in the warehouse in the guise of a teddy bear. Marcus contacted Damon and informed him that the recording was shown to the NYPD by Gigante, and that the police were now after him.
Kick-ass contacted Big Daddy and Hit-Girl for help after being told by fellow superhero Red Mist that they were both wanted dead by "some bad motherdriver". Big Daddy agreed to meet him at one of his safehouses. Upon arriving with Red Mist, the two were greeted by Big Daddy who welcomed them inside. As soon as they entered, Red Mist, who in reality was Chris D'Amico in disguise, gunned down Hit-Girl, and the safehouse was soon thereafter rassed by a group of goons who took both Big Daddy and Kick-ass captive.
Frank D'Amico planned to let his henchmen post a live video of them beating up and torturing Big Daddy and Kick-Ass on both national television and the internet. Just as they were about to set the place on fire and kill them both, Hit-Girl, who had survived the gunshots due to wearing a bulletproof vest, arrived and killed D'Amico's henchmen, rescuing Kick-ass, but was unable to save her father in time, who was fatally burned.
Damon told Mindy that he was proud of her, and father and daughter expressed their love for each other. Damon then died with a smile on his face.
Damon's death was avenged by Mindy and Kick-ass, who were successful in defeating D'Amico and destroying the crimelord's business. Big Daddy for obvious reasons does not make a direct appearance in Kick-ass 2, however serves the role of acting as a pseudo-Martyr to both Kick-ass and Hit-Girl, during parts of the film. Damon's photographs are seen in Mindy's Head Quarters while she was training Dave, and she explains to him that she promised her father she would never stop defending the city.
It is revealed from Mindy, that Big Daddy is in fact the "first" real superhero in the Kick-ass film universe, and that he came even before Kick-ass. Kick-ass acts as the first public superhero. Indirectly, he and Kick-ass helped inspire a whole generation of heroes. Later, during the final face off with the Mother Driver, Kick-ass donned Big Daddy's armor as a last resort partially as a way to honor him, while the armor also enabled him invulnerable to most attacks during the fight.
Damon Macready was once a proud police officer dedicated to bringing criminals to justice alongside his partner Marcus Williams.
