You know, it’s a while since BLADE and a bit too long since we’ve seen a superhero just wrecking a warehouse full of goons. As the hour draws nearer and nearer to KICK-ASS's release in a couple weeks, so too do the number of promo clips increase. Here we’ve got one of Nicholas “ Big Daddy” Cage giving a whole bunch of mafia thugs the hard goodbye and I have to say it looks very… BAD-ASS.

I find it kind of puzzling that Lionsgate has played down Cage’s involvement in this movie so much. He’s one of the biggest stars and box office draws, right now. You’d think they'd have plastered his name and face all over the posters and billboards for this thing, but no. The promos that DO have Big Daddy on them keep the mask on, so you really don’t know him from Adam. I wonder if this might have been a personal choice of Cage’s not to upstage the story or his co-stars. Or perhaps it’s another example of Millar and Vaughn doing the movie in the way they think is right, rather than kowtowing to market pressures? Search me.

Anyway, forget about all those business ruminations. Enjoy the clip. But do me a favor, Comic Vine community. I know we’ve got a throng of resourceful minds, here… so, can somebody tell me what the song in this clip is? I KNOW I’ve heard it before, but I can’t put my finger on it. I want to say it was used at the end of SMOKIN’ ACES or perhaps somewhere in MAN ON FIRE.   I demand the name of the band, the name of the track and all instances it’s been used before, and I DEMAND IT NOW!

I've watched the movie last week..and I've got to say I loved every minute of it!!!! :D I can't wait for the sequel to the comic and the movie!!!

This film was great.... all up until the end.... which sucked..... This scene was great though.

Tom my lovely ... 
 the song is:
 John Murphy - In the House In a Heartbeat  
from the 28 Days Later soundtrack

Yeah, I've seen the film twice in a week since it was released here in the UK. It's awesome, I love it.

Not one of my favourite parts but it was still good. I think it's the song (Thanks @AngelFrost for finally telling me what that song is, it's been bothering me for years), they always use it in soaps when there's a build up to something dramatic happening. Kind of spoilt it for me.
I think the reason why they've downplayed Cage's involvement is because 'Nicolas Cage' is synonymous with 'really awful movies'. I don't know what he was doing in this film to begin with. Definitely ruined the experience for me.

The music is so damn great like the scene itself. Awesome!

11 people under a minute, that is badass anybody know any movie non powered hero with a better streak?

What makes Batman so much better than this parody of him is that he can do all that without having to kill a single one.

People going in to see the movie, who have no idea about the comic, will be shocked to see how bloody it is.  The commercials make the violence seem way toned down.

Elektra had a very impressive run in one comic, all highly armed men and she killed them in under a min, I can't remember the comic but I will get back to you on it. XD   "

I heard that Big Daddy is going to die in the end. Is that true ?

" @Agent Buttons:  Thanks. But why did they have to kill the most likable realistic superhero in that comic?Hitgirl, kick-ass are simply so unrealistic in real life. "

DUDE!!! 
Spoiler warning on the Big Daddy head shot. Knew about it myself but i'm sure some folks didn't.

Hit girl's unrealistic 'cause she's 11 years old.

Totally agree. 
What shocked me more than any thing was people reaction to it.
It's rated appropriately so if they don't wanna see it don't.

I loved the way that he just punted that dudw in the gonnads Id love tovsee the deadpool film choreographed in the same way.

I swear they changed the song for this scene - like they made it sound very similar, but it was NOT as in the youtube vid above... saw it yesterday in London...
