Movies that feel likeKick-Ass (2010)
If you loved Kick-Ass, the closest films we have are Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020), Headhunters (2011) and Lethal Weapon 3 (1992). All three share Kick-Ass' kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is In China They Eat Dogs (1999).

Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

Comic-book violence with a gleeful, anarchic mean streak
The difference: DC gloss and girl-gang chaos — deconstruction is not on its mind

An ordinary schmuck's scheme spiraling into gruesome farce
The difference: A Norwegian thriller engine — suspense first, jokes second

Quips and gunfire in a well-oiled buddy-action machine
The difference: Safe studio formula — the edges Kick-Ass sharpens are sanded off here

Revenge escalation treated as deadpan black comedy
The difference: Slow, wintry and dry — the mayhem arrives at a glacial pace

Bloody crime played for laughs that keep curdling into horror
The difference: Mexican narco satire — political rage, no capes anywhere

Common ground: murder
The difference: Easier on the momentum than Kick-Ass

Both are built on the same subject: superhero
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Stylish criminal mayhem narrated with a permanent smirk
The difference: Talk-heavy Ritchie plotting — violence as punctuation, not spectacle

Criminal amateurs in over their heads, escalating pitch-black
The difference: A scrappy Danish cult item — cheap, nasty and proudly rough

A reckless self-invented hustle barreling toward disaster
The difference: Pure sweating anxiety — the comedy is buried in dread

Violence and idiocy tangled together until laughing feels wrong
The difference: Coen restraint and quiet — no action scenes, just consequences

Both land momentum and grit at once
The difference: Trades the dark humor of Kick-Ass for an angle of its own
