Director Matthew Vaughn has defended the use of bad language in his new movie Kick-Ass.
The film, based on a series of comics, has sparked controversy prior to its release as Chloe Moretz, who was 11 at the time of production, uses the word "cunts" and kills other characters in her role as Hit-Girl.
"It's pretty amazing that four letters can have such a powerful effect on people," Vaughn told The Times. "I would not condone a normal little girl killing people or swearing."
Vaughn pointed out that Hit-Girl is fictitous and added that no-one had complained when she used the word "fucking" earlier in the film.
"You know, taboos have to be broken," he continued. "And then we move on, and God knows what the next one will be."
Vaughn also admitted that he had originally left the C-word out of the movie because he didn't want to be "gratuitous" but explained that Moretz's mother had suggested they use it when the scene seemed flat.
"[It] was like a mini atomic bomb had exploded [when we used it]," he continued. "Even later on, in the edit, we looked at all the other takes, and nothing had the same impact."
Vaughn said that he had cast such a young actress as Hit-Girl so that she wouldn't be sexualised but admitted that he is worried about children copying scenes from his film.
"Some kid thinking that it looks like fun, putting on a costume and getting their head kicked in," he explained. "That would be a disaster. Which is one of the main reasons why there's a scene where Kick-Ass gets stabbed. I'm trying to say to the kids, 'Bad idea! Don't try this at home!'"
However, Vaughn refused to censor his movie, explaining: "Seriously, it will ruin any creativity in this country, if we have to be answerable to [moral watchdogs]. It's a free country, and you don't have to watch it. But there are enough people who like this film to warrant it being made in the first place."
Matthew Vaughn is speaking as a parent aswell as a director he wouldn't want his children
Parents will however buy the movie soon as it reaches DVD or BluRay form i am not saying kids wont watch this movie they probably will who knows they have probably seen other stuff such as the Kill Bill Movies and the Saw movies parents have this outlook ah well its in our own home its private most kids are really advanced these days some DVD'S even have extra's on telling you how the movie was made special effects etc.
My advice to parents if you are going to let your kids watch this please explain that what they are seeing hasn't to be copied because the stuff they see in this movie is stunts and some are dangerous do not copy any of the martial arts i know what i am saying i am a black belt in Taekwondo do not play with Taichi swords or any other type of weapon unless you know what you are doing IE been trained i have used these but i am trained Taichi Swords are not toys you will do yourself some serious damage even death.
Hopefully there will be enough sense in kids once they have been spoken to about what they are seeing i know some kids don't copy what they see but there are some that do.
here is what happens when some irresponsible person acts stupid with a sword!
Are You Surprised? Yes? No?
Q: Am I?
A: No the way he was holding it and behaving with it its a wonder it wasn't more serious
