10 Film Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

8. Kick-Ass 2: Everyone Is Screwed Over

There's nothing overly complex about Kick-Ass 2's askew take on superheroism, and upon first viewing, it appeared to end on the standard good-guys-save-the-day note, give or take a few loose ends.

Except there's some harrowing consequences to come for many of the people involved, not least protagonist Dave Lizewski, who's probably going to jail because everyone wrongly believes he was sleeping with the underage Hit-Girl.

And speaking of going to jail, Hit-Girl's adoptive dad Marcus - one of the movie's only thoroughly decent people - is bound to be given some serious time for covering up the foul-mouthed anti-heroine's crimes.

Add to this the fact Chris D'Amico's evil uncle Ralph, the film's real villain, is still running a criminal empire from prison, and Dave's rat of a friend Todd - who is responsible for the death of the hero's father - never gets his comeuppance, and the world of Kick-Ass 2 is shaping up to be a terrible place.

Villains go unpunished, good people get hurt and nobody learned a thing. The Kick-Ass films are supposed to be dark, but that ending left an absolute train-wreck behind.
