When talking to Christopher Mintz-Plasse and writer/director Jeff Wadlow, I had to pick their brains about why it was necessary to change the controversial rape scene - and then, why it was changed to the comedic moment we got in the film:Ĭhristopher Mintz-Plasse: I love really, really dark things like if there’s a rape scene it’s gotta be a dark movie it can’t be-I just didn’t think it would fit for this movie cause you’re watching it and it’s so colorful and fun and violent and you’re laughing, you’re getting excited and I don’t think a rape scene fits that vibe. It was an interesting reversal of Millar and Romita Jr.'s comic and a scene that played well with audiences (at least judging from the theater I was in). In the film version, however, Katie has been replaced by Kick-Ass' crime-fighting comrade "Night Bitch" as the prominent love interest that The Motherf*cker assaults - and instead of a violent rape, we get a violent attempted rape that peters out (no pun) when The Motherf*cker fails to. The scene in question from the comic books occurs when Chris D'Amico (under his new guise as The Motherf*cker) attacks the suburban neighborhood of Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass' love interest, Katie Deauxma, massacres her father, and subjects the poor girl to a gruesome gang rape by his squad of evil thugs.
