* Kick-Ass defending the guy outside the store is both awesome and heartwarming. He gets involved in the guy's business completely by accident, but he sees him getting ganged up on by three other guys and decides that, contrary to what one of the thugs says to him, this ''is'' his business. He doesn't know the guy's history, why he was being chased, or why he's getting beat up; he also hasn't really refined his fighting skills. He simply jumps in and helps the guy out because it's the right thing to do.

* Even though Frank is a cold-blood killer, there are several moments where you can tell he really loves and cares about his son. Like when he thinks Chris died in the lumber mill and their reunion hug. Just look at the relief on Frank's face when he sees his son is alive.

* When Kick-Ass meets Big Daddy in person, the first thing that he says is "We like you, but we don't trust you." Which is rare because the only people he expressed any affection for is Hit-Girl and Marcus. It's further lampshaded by Hit-Girl later on after Kick-ass saves her and kills Frank that he would have been proud of them both, rather than just her.
