Fans of comic fiction ultra violence will be sure to get a kick out of this red band trailer for Kick-Ass 2. Following up on 2010’s surprise hit, Kick-Ass, this sequel reunited us with eponymous superhero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), his potty-mouthed, tough-as-nails little sidekick Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) and newcomer Colonel Stars (Jim Carrey) as they take on a gang of super-villains led by the Motherfucker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Those unfamiliar with the series or the comics on which they are based will be sure to be rolling their eyes but the franchise manages to be wink-wink about the inherently silly nature of comic-based superheros, handling these heroes with sardonic wit and hyper sadism.
Check out the Red Band Trailer but don’t do so at work as this is classic NSFW territory.
