New Kick-Ass Clip Pulls A Taxi Driver

With Kick-Ass set to be released in less than a month, and buzz growing ever greater with its release at SXSW (check out David's thoughts here), so what better time to enjoy new clips?

The first was originally posted high-def on Facebook and features Dave Lizewski, played by Aaron Johnson, suiting up for the first time in his green and yellow gear before trying out some one-liners in front of the mirrors. It's a lot like that scene in Taxi Driver, only instead of a disturbed Vietnam War vet practicing with his sliding holster, you have a geek waving around some pipes in a ridiculous get up.

In this second clip, Kick-Ass suits up and goes cruising with Red Mist.
