Kick-Ass 2: 10 Things You Might Have Missed

6. Jim Carrey Did Care

Carrey Jim Carrey now wants to distance himself from Colonel Stars and Stripes, boycotting the film due to the excessive gun violence. Ignoring the fact there€™s little gun violence in the film and none of it is really imitable, him kicking up a fuss, if anything, boosted its box office chances rather than diminishing them; people want to see just what it is he€™s objecting to. What€™s odd is that before Sandy Hook Carrey clearly cared a lot about the film; he actually brought his own props for the role to greater look like the comic book counterpart. What you probably didn't know, however, was that some of the character€™s most memorable lines were actually adlibs by the actor. Both €œThere's a dog on your balls€ and €œI try to have fun. Otherwise, what's the point?€ were made up by the actor on set, noticeable only for their freshness against the script. These are some reassuring proof that Carrey did, at one point, care about the film. Some people have theorised that the Colonel originally had a much larger role in the film, but was cut after the whole Twitter furore. This would explain his focal presence on the marketing, but I find that a bit too much of a contrived theory.
