Kick-Ass (2010)
Matthew Vaughn’s cinematic reworking of the hugely popular comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr, has become somewhat iconic for its scenes of profane violence and the array of colourful characters it introduces – most notably Kick-Ass himself (played by Aaron Taylor Johnson) and Chloe Moretz’ surprisingly ruthless Hit Girl. The soundtrack to this adrenaline-fuelled adventure is just as excitable as its main protagonist.
Featuring songs by Mika, Ellie Goulding and Primal Scream, the energy is never-ending with this film. One of the greatest scenes, though, is when Kick Ass fights his first batch of criminals outside a diner in town, to the frenetic sound of ‘Omen’ by The Prodigy. To put it simply, the accompaniment of this pumping anthem to such an action filled sequence, kicks some serious ass. (Clip features strong language)
