Kingpin in His Gym: Frank D'Amico is seen practicing kung fu (and being good at it) early in the movie. The Imagine Spot of Dave standing at his mother's grave and shouting to the skies, "I WILL AVENGE YOU, MOTHER!" is very reminiscent of Peter Parker lurking around Uncle Ben's grave. And then you get told off by Dave for expecting that. Never Trust a Trailer: The movie, while still funny and brilliant throughout, actually has a whole lot more drama and tragedy than the trailers show and is much more akin to Watchmen than your typical Michael Cera teen comedy. Which makes sense, considering this trope also applied to the Watchmen movie itself. They also imply that Red Mist is genuinely a hero, as opposed to being The Mole. The bodyguards that Frank D'Amico has for his son Chris never let any potential friends approach him. Also, Frank shuns Chris for being a comic book nerd and won't even let him partake in "the family business", leading to him trying to combine two in one — taking on the role as Red Mist.Cluster F-Bomb: Even before the release, the film gained notoriety for Pulp Fiction-level amounts of naughty words, many of them coming from the mouth of a 12-year old. Late to the Tragedy: Not sure how useful that katana was going to be if it had been used 3 minutes earlier, but still...

The Peeping Tom: The hidden camera-bear was originally used by Frank D'Amico to spy on the nanny — while she was changing, showering, etc. Improvised Weapon: After Hit-Girl runs out of ammo, she throws the gun itself at a goon. It distracts him just long enough for her to take his gun and try and shoot him with it (turns out that gun was out, too). A couple minutes later, she uses a set of kitchen knives to take out the aforementioned goon. Daddy's Girl: Hit-Girl and Big Daddy have a very heartwarming relationship in the film (going out for ice cream, making cocoa). Affectionate Parody: The movie is more this than a straight-up Deconstruction. Given that it plays hopscotch with superhero tropes, it's really hard to classify. At least the end's clear about where it stands. Please note, this costume appears to be tighter than advertised. Upon measurment, the costume's measurements are:Large Ham: Nicolas Cage is channeling some unholy trinity of Adam West, William Shatner, and Christopher Walken. Mark Strong also gobbles some scenery as the villain. Hell, even Chloë Grace Moretz delivers a pound or two of delicious pork in several scenes. Let's say it's just a World of Ham. Pop!" Goes the Human: The Mook who gets shoved into an industrial microwave, who is the same mook that claimed that Fingore Mook was selling him D'Amico's coke. Even after Fingore Mook was killed. Redemption Equals Death: It's implied that Damon McCready/Big Daddy realizes his mistakes like training his daughter to be a death machine. In fact, when she says to him he's the best father in the world, he, just before dying, answers, "No. I just love you." Kids Are Cruel: Hit-Girl slaughters crooks and mobsters with huge gusto and a certain sadistic glee. However, she does not harm innocents, and loses her meanness while out of costume — just not her foul mouth.
