Here's why they aren't making a 3rd movie


Now before I get alot of *beep* I have to say I'm a big fan of this series and I recently read the 3rd book. And I realized that they aren't making a 3rd one because it might be hard to. Like in the 2nd movie Mandy gets away on her bike but in the comic she gets caught and sent to jail where she basically runs it and kills some of the prisoners but cutting their penis off. But the thing is. They both have such different endings how the hell are they going to set it up!? Like they can be lazy and say that she got caught eventually like they did in the first one where Dave's girlfriend breaks up with him when in the first comic she breaks everything off with him when he admits who he is to her and at the end of it she sends him a pic of her sucking a guys dick. But I guess they just did that to be in the similar storyline with the 2nd comic. But really they are completely different and I just don't see how they can set up the 3rd movie without being too different from the comic. Like literally the comic opens with hit girl going into the jail. So yea.

Also forgot to mention Dave also tried to break her out but gets sidetracked by his girlfriend

Sorry but the REAL reason they are not going to make a 3rd is that the first two were not box office hits and really did not make much money.

Well actually the first one did pretty good. The 2nd one was nowhere near how much the First movie made

⬆This, along with the fact that the second wasn't a patch on the first.🐭

Even with those changes, they could do the story from the Hit Girl comic as it takes place in between Kick Ass Volume 1 and Volume 2. (For those who have not read Hit Girl, of course it features Kick Ass as well.)

adapting the script wouldnt be a problem, the problem is the sequel underperformed somewhat at the boxoffice.

I never read the comics, i don't care much about comics. But i love the movies. I would settle for either a Kick-Ass/Hit-Girl third part or even just a Hit-Girl stand alone to be honest.

Do they really need to follow the comics? NO... Why? Hell most adaptation don't. It could be just a new story. I know it will seem weird for me saying this, since i literraly *beep* on resident evil for being a mockery of the video game franchise, but when it comes to comic, as long as they keep the "large lines" of it, it would be cool. Look at DC/Marvel, they don't do everything by the books.

Like i said i have never read the comics, but the third movie could feature one or the 2 of the superheroes, and have either a whole new vilain, Frank D'Amico, or even a *beep* since he lost his limbs.

No matter what i think it would be cool.

I rewatched the second movie tonight and i love it, the only thing i don't like in the movie is Katie, how the relationship end, since he worked so hard in the first movie to get her and they seem in love. Katie act completely different than in the first movie. Even if it was to settle Night Bitch relation etc, i tough it was off. But the rest of the movie is so good, so entertaining.

Alice is the worst character of all time, she need to die in the last movie. Chris/Jill are RE !!!

First one was great, loved it. The second one was nowhere near as good as the first one, it just had none of the charm from the first one.

They are prolly not making a 3rd movie ... cos .... the 2nd was PISS POOR ....in my humble opinion anyhows =)

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west

Me thinks we will see kick Ass 3 20years from now, where the characters are middle aged with family. It will focus on Hit Girl and her yearning to recapture her younger years before she had a family.

reply

I don't read the comics but I can see an arrangement where they could work off the comics but not follow them perfectly.

I thought the 2nd film was so-so to good but not like the first....but I do think they still have enough material to do 1 more film.
