6. Hit-Girl Using The "C-Word" - Kick-Ass
Given how superhero movies generally don't push the language too far above all else, it was a huge surprise to us all when the first trailer dropped for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass, and featured the young Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) uttering the immortal phrase, "Okay, you c***s, let's see what you can do now", before laying waste to an entire room of bad guys. It completely set the tone for the film, and is one of the few instances on this list that doesn't actually harm the film it's in - unless you're a hyper-Conservative dingle-berry - but really just enhance the hilarity and disbelief. It's still hard to believe they dared do it and managed to get away with it, but hey, Moretz's parents must clearly be cool cats, that or they're obsessive actor parents who are desperate for their kid to succeed by any means necessary...
