ORION COSTUMES Men's Green Ninja Kick Ass Superhero Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Mugging the Monster: At the end of the film Hit-Girl is attending regular school for the first time as a civilian. Dave remarks that she doesn't need him looking out for her as we see (well, hear) Hit-Girl beating up bullies attempting to rob her lunch money. Exaggerated Trope: As well as deconstructing superhero tropes, the movie plays many of them straight, but overblown to the point of absurdity. Lighter and Softer: The amount of tone change is probably too much to go into. Let's just say the comic pegs the dial for cynicism and cruelty, while the movie actually strives for optimism and compassion.

Action Girl: Hit-Girl is an exaggerated version. She's both young for this trope, extremely violent and skilled enough to pull it off. Nerd Glasses: Dave Lizewski and his chubby friend wear them. For obvious reasons, Dave ditches them as he grows more and more badass.Training from Hell: Though not explicitly shown, it's logical to assume Hit-Girl underwent this. It doesn't help that Big Daddy educates her on being shot by actually shooting her (she's wearing a Bulletproof Vest). For whatever it's worth, he admits to using low-velocity rounds when she says that getting shot by actual criminals was more painful. Dave's name was chosen at a charity auction held to name him. The winner of the auction chose his own name, Dave Lizewski.

Captain Ersatz: Big Daddy is essentially Batman with guns, and the close similarity is lampshaded. Nicholas Cage channels Adam West and William Shatner. And Elvis Presley. His costume also resembles the film version of Nite Owl II. Hand-to-Hand Combatant: When Dave first started out, he possessed no fighting skills whatsoever. However, after extensive training from Mindy, Dave has become a skilled fighter, capable of defeating opponents much larger than himself and even taking on multiple people at a time. Coupled with his nerve damage he has proven to be a resilient combatant and can catch people off guard even when held at gunpoint.

About Hit-Girl

Clean Cut: In the first demonstration of her skills, Hit-Girl cleanly and casually slices a thug's leg off. Killer Rabbit: In the movie's third act, D'Amico's goons learn that a cute schoolgirl with Girlish Pigtails can be a gun-toting killing machine. String Theory: Big Daddy has one of these, with the strings converging on Frank D'Amico, which Hit-Girl turns into an impromptu Shuriken-Board of Hate. Indy Ploy: Dave walks into a gang hangout to tell Razoul to stop bothering Kate. He's not ready with a response when Razoul asks him "or else what?" What the Hell, Hero?: Several, but most notably when Big Daddy gets called out on raising his daughter to be a vigilante, depriving her of her childhood. Though he does say that Frank D'Amico owes her a childhood, implying that he really deeply down wants his daughter to have a childhood, but raised her to become a vigilante to help her protect herself in case anything ever happened to him.

Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Dave has sex with Katie against an alley dumpster, right out in the open. Kingpin in His Gym: Frank D'Amico is seen practicing kung fu (and being good at it) early in the movie. Evil Is Petty: The two street thugs who rob Dave and Todd at the beginning of the film. When Todd tells them that his cell phone was already stolen, they take his comics instead just to throw their weight around, even though it's obvious they have no use for them. And in his origin story, Big Daddy was set up and sent to jail, missing the birth of his own daughter. While Big Daddy questioning Hit-Girl on John Woo was in the comics, it helps that Nicolas Cage starred in two John Woo directed films, Face/Off and Windtalkers.Decoy Protagonist: The way the first scene is done implies that the monologue is that of the person on screen. Then he plummets off a skyscraper and smashes a taxi when his wings fail to generate the lift needed to pull up. Never Trust a Trailer: The movie, while still funny and brilliant throughout, actually has a whole lot more drama and tragedy than the trailers show and is much more akin to Watchmen than your typical Michael Cera teen comedy. Which makes sense, considering this trope also applied to the Watchmen movie itself. They also imply that Red Mist is genuinely a hero, as opposed to being The Mole.
