15. Kick Ass 2
While it doesnt reach the heady heights of the first Kick Ass movie (which isnt available on Netflix), Kick Ass 2 is still a lot of fun. Of particular note is Chloe Grace Moretz, who makes another standout performance as junior femme fatale Hit Girl. Aaron Taylor Johnson stars as the eponymous hero, back in action against Christopher Mintz-Plasse, his former buddy turned nefarious evildoer on a revenge mission. Mintz-Plasses character Chris is now going by the name The Mother F*cker, leading a team of villains christened the Toxic Mega C*nts, and vowing vengeance on Kick Ass for the death of his father in the first film. Franchise newcomer Jim Carrey makes a sizeable impression as the mentally unhinged superhero Colonel Stars and Stripes, a chap known to set his balls-eating dog on his enemies. Carrey leads superteam Justice Forever. Despite a few fumbles along the way, the final showdown between Justice Forever and the Toxic Mega C*nts is enough to justify checking out Kick Ass 2.
