The story behind Kickass begins when Matthew Vaughn shows up late to a poker game in London. He’s betting that a movie based on a comic book that no one had ever seen will become a hit. It turns out that Matthew’s idea of a movie is just as kickass as his original concept. The movie is so violent that Matthew reportedly mortgaged his home to make it.
To save his family, Kick-Ass and his love interest, Hit-Girl, are reunited. After learning about the plans of the Motherfucker, they organize a meeting of superheroes and gather in Time Square. This gathering results in a battle with the Motherfucker and his army. Kick-Ass is arrested and the other superheroes are captured. In the end, the superheroes manage to defeat the Motherfucker and his gang. In the aftermath of the attack, however, the love interest is murdered by the gang.
The term “kick ass” was first used as a verb in a fight, to defeat an opponent decisively. The meaning of “kick ass” has now expanded to describe any bold action or superlative. In the US, it is generally considered acceptable for use in everyday speech. In fact, florists have even created a special “kick ass” chrysanthemum bouquet. This storyline became a worldwide sensation in a short time.

After saving the man from a drug dealer, Kick-Ass confronts Rasul and his thugs. Kick-Ass saves the girl and defeats the crooked cop, while the two friends save the boy from the criminals.
