5. Hit Girl vs. Everyone - Kick-Ass
Granted, Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) is rarely on her own throughout this film, and she's proven herself a more-than-adept fighter - especially considering her age - but when she gets isolated in Frank D'Amico's penthouse, it seems like the young assassin is very much in over her head. The scene is played for laughs, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous; Hit Girl leaps and vaults around the hallway, unloading bullets into the countless henchmen's heads with pinpoint accuracy, even hilariously causing one goon to shoot himself through the face as he collapses to the floor. If D'Amico's hired help had simply been a little smarter about their formation and not so complacent, taking Hit Girl down should have been a piece of cake. I know she's small and fast, but come on - it's like twenty guns against two!
