• This is Jeff Wadlow's first film to receive an "R" rating.
• The statue of a child in an army helmet with a grenade in his hand, located in the villain's lair, is the work of British artist Schoony and is called "Boy Soldier".
• Jim Carrey personally purchased props to look like his character from the comics.
• Evan Peters was unable to play the role of Todd Haynes due to scheduling conflicts with the series "American Horror Story" (2011).
• The posters in Dave's room – "American Jesus" and "Superior" – are two graphic novels written by Mark Millar.
• When Mother Russia destroys police cars, a Russian folk melody, "Korobeyniki," used in the game Tetris, plays in the background.
• In the comics, Colonel Stars and Stripes is depicted as two brothers: Colonel Stars and Lieutenant Stripes.
• Most of Jim Carrey's successful lines are the result of the actor's own improvisations.
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson gained 15 pounds of muscle for the role.
• Chloe Grace Moretz delivers one line in the film in Russian ("You failed when they're all over you," English translation: "I would've thought a cunt like you could handle all those pricks").
• Jim Carrey changed his attitude towards the film after filming due to its high level of violence. He wrote on Twitter: "I made 'Kick-Ass' a month before the Sandy Hook events (where a mass shooting occurred) and now, with a clear conscience, I state that I cannot support this level of violence. I am not ashamed of the film, but in light of recent events, I have changed my opinion."
• During the flashback at the funeral, the name Mark Millar can be seen at the top of the poster. Mark Millar is the author of the 'Kick-Ass' comics.
• Jim Carrey is allotted only 7 minutes and 45 seconds of screen time in this film.
• When Kick-Ass first enters the headquarters of the 'Justice Forever' organization, a jar of peanut butter is visible on the shelf. After a close-up of Kick-Ass, the jar disappears.
• When the villains are at their base, Chris has two guns on his costume. This weaponry subsequently disappears.
• In the scene where Mindy shoots Dave during training, two bullet holes are visible in his jacket, although he was shot only once.
• When Dave is in the hospital and says he is Pipets, he removes his glasses with his left hand. He is holding flowers in his right hand. A second later, when he is sitting on the bed, the glasses are back on his face.
• Mother Russia rips the car door off and uses it as a shield, then throws it at a police officer, but there are no bullet holes on it anymore.
• When Mother Russia destroys the police cars, she places a lawnmower on the trunk of one, then reverses into another car with it, and starts the lawnmower, sending it through the windshield. This model of lawnmower requires the control handle to be engaged for it to run, otherwise the engine will shut off.
