History Film / KickAss2

* LegionOfDoom: Purposefully invoked by the Motherfucker, who recruits the toughest crooks he can find and gives them supervillain names and costumes.

** Another one from ''Hit-Girl'': in the midquel, Hit-Girl dismisses Night Bitch as a serious superhero because her costume shows too much skin, and dismisses the superhero Tarantula for publishing his own secret identity on Facebook. Here, Night Bitch is Hit-Girl's rival in love (and Hit-Girl wondered if hers was a superhero codename or the title of a porn movie), and [[spoiler: the Toxic Mega-Punks visit her at home, attempt to rape her and beat her to a pulp due her bright idea of saying on her personal Facebook page she was in a relationship with Kick-Ass, thus allowing The Motherfucker to confirm her superhero identity]].

It's three years after Dave Lizewski (Creator/AaronJohnson) hung up his tights as Kick-Ass, and 15-year old Mindy [=McCready=] (ChloeMoretz) is starting highschool at Dave's school...in theory. In reality, whilst Mindy's guardian is trying to give her a normal life, she's skipping school every day to train and fight criminals as Hit-Girl. Dave, bored with his life after retiring from superheroics, begs her to take him on as a sidekick. After Dave gets back in the tights, he soon learns that he & Hit-Girl are no longer the only costumed vigilantes in New York, and joins Justice Forever, a group of like minded individuals led by Colonel Stars & Stripes (Creator/JimCarrey).

* RelationshipUpgrade: [[Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl.]] [[MaybeEverAfter Maybe.]] It's left rather vague.

* AdaptationNameChange: Colonel Stars & Stripes' dog is named Eisenhower, as opposed to Sophia in the comic. Furthermore, Colonel Stars & Stripes was simply Colonel Stars in the comic, whilst Lieutenant Stripes was his dog's codename.

* MythologyGag: A few, with the most notable being Kick-Ass' costume for the final fight (armoured with Big Daddy's armour) looking almost identical to the costume of hero Silver Beetle from ''Hit-Girl.''

The 2013 sequel to ''Film/{{Kick-Ass}}'', the sequel adapts the second volume of [[Comicbook/{{Kick-Ass}} the comic book]].

It's three years later, and 15-year old Mindy [=McCready=] is starting highschool at Dave's school...in theory. In reality, she's skipping every day to train and fight criminals as Hit Girl. Dave, bored with his life after retiring from superheroics, begs her to take him on as a sidekick. While Mindy's guardian is trying to give her a normal life, Chris is still seeking revenge on Kick-Ass, and adopts the name Motherfucker as the world's first supervillain.

* AdaptedOut: Several of the Motherfucker's most horrific actions in the second volume of the comic (Such as [[spoiler:raping Katie & killing Colonel Stars' dog]]) were considered too horrible to include in the film, much to the relief of those who read the comics and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
* AdaptationNameChange: Colonel Stars & Stripes' dog is named Eisenhower, as opposed to Sophia in the comic. Furthermore, Colonel Stars & Stripes was simply Colonel Stars in the comic, and his dog has the name Lieutenant Stars.

* BattleCouple: Remembering Tommy.
* BondOneLiner: Hit Girl, after stabbing [[spoiler:Mother Russia]] to death with glass shards:

* BigBadWannabe: Uncle D'Amico tries to invoke this to get Motherfucker to lay low. He's in prison, but the warden's a friend, and he pretty effortlessly has [[spoiler:Motherfucker's butler]]'s throat slit. [[KickTheDog While it plays over the phone.]] Still, it only seems to [[LetsGetDangerous harden his resolve.]]
* BrickJoke:

* CaptainEthnic: Genghis Carnage and [[RefugeInAudacity Black Death.]] D'Amico's butler calls him out on those. There's also Mother Russia.

** Any time Hit Girl takes somebody on, except for [[spoiler: Mother Russia]].
** Any time Mother Russia gets her hands dirty, including single handedly taking out a squad of ten cops [[spoiler: and wiping the floor with Hit Girl. Hit Girl is forced to trick her into injecting her with adrenaline to get the upper hand]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: Invoked, with the Chris D'Amico ditching the [[EvilCostumeSwitch orange version of the Red Mist suit seen at the end of the first film]] and adopting a new costume that is literally bondage gear whilst rechristening himself "The Motherfucker".

* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:When Motherfucker purposely allows himself to fall from his HQ's roof (an action that he hilariously regrets during midair) he lands safely on his shark tank... And of course, only to be eaten by said shark seconds later. The Stinger shows he survived, but injured.]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: Hit Girl, a couple times. The first time is a music video of some boy band, and the second is when [[spoiler:she watches Dave change]].
* TheDragon: Mother Russia is The Motherfucker's strongest and by far deadliest minion. Not only does she take out ten police officers by herself, but she's the one who takes on Hit Girl during the final fight.
-->'''Genghis Carnage''': $50,000? She's worth it!
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Invoked by The Motherfucker. Whilst D'Amico remorselessly orders Mother Russia to [[spoiler:kill Colonel Stars and decapitate him, he is taken aback when Mother Russia asks him if he wants the Colonel's dog killed.]]
-->'''Motherfucker''': Jesus Christ, I'm not ''that'' evil!

* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Black Death, courtesy of Hit Girl.]]
* FakeAmerican: Daniel Kaluuya (Black Death), Andy Nyman (The Tumor), Steven Mackintosh and Monica Dolan (Remembering Tommy), Iain Glen (Ralph D'Amico) and Robert Emms (Insect Man) are all played by British Actors.
* FakeNationality: Subverted with Mother Russia's actress. Misinformation stated that Olga Kurkulina was Ukrainian when she is in fact an actual Russian.
* {{First Kiss}}: Mindy's is with Dave at the end of the movie.
* FedToTheBeast: [[spoiler:Motherfucker. Hell, it's his own shark.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser:
** Mother Russia does heavy damage with a propane canister, a car door, and a lawn mower to name a few.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Todd[=/=]Ass-Kicker reveals to the Motherfucker that the man who was arrested for being Kick-Ass was actually Dave's father. Despite being remorseful, he doesn't get any comeuppance from Dave or any of the other Justice Forever members.]]

* ImAHumanitarian: Mother Russia ate her cellmate during her time in a gulag.

* LighterAndSofter: The comic features [[spoiler:Motherfucker raping Katie, killing Colonel Stars & Stripes' dog ''& placing the head on the Colonel's corpse'', & outright bombing every comic book shop in New York]], none of which occurs in the film. The ending alone sees [[spoiler:Kick-Ass, Battle Guy & Ass-Kicker wanted & Hit-Girl arrested for being vigilantes, with Marcus being arrested for knowingly sheltering a vigilante; and Motherfucker thrown from a building & in broken mess in an alley]] as opposed to the film [[spoiler:having Kick-Ass resolving to become the hero New York needs, Hit-Girl kissing Dave then leaving New York to avoid being sent to prison, and Motherfucker being comically eaten by his shark]].
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Chloë Grace Moretz has stated that Olga Kurkulina, who plays the bloodthirsty and cruel Mother Russia, is really a nice woman in real life.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:Mother Russia injecting Hit Girl with adrenaline, which then gives her the energy to kill Mother Russia. Though to be fair, Mother Russia thought it was poison.]]
* NotHyperbole: Hit Girl claims to be able to kill a man with his own finger. During the final fight, she shows she wasn't kidding.

* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Mother Russia. There's good reason she's the highest paid of Motherfucker's gang.

* SelfMadeOrphan: Chris D'Amico (albeit on accident).
* SparedByAdaptation: Eisenhower, Colonel Stars & Stripes' dog.
* TakingUpTheMantle: In the last battle, Kick-Ass wears the body armor from Big Daddy's suit.
* TooDumbToLive: The leader of the muggers, after he and his group receive a major ass kicking from Hit Girl, she offers to let him go if he promises to no longer mug people otherwise she'd "go all Saudi Arabia" and cut off one of his hands. He seemingly swears to, until he goes for his knife, in which his hand is then swiftly severed.

** Katie, putting her in-line with her comic counterpart's personality.
** Dave takes a level or two himself but snaps out of it towards the end.
