Kick-Ass the comic book and movie opens with the same scene: a man in a bird suit stands on the edge of a rooftop, as our hero narrates about becoming a super hero in real life, after movies and comics have spent over a decade romanticizing our view of them. The question posed: Why aren’t people trying to become superheros.

Then, the man we’re watching spreads his wings and jumps into the air, only to fall, and possibly die, when he lands on a taxi.

That’s what the second unit on Kick-Ass was filming in Toronto this weekend, as /Film reader Dan B managed to snap some pictures with his iPhone:

Coming back from a Jays game happen to catch what appeared to be 2nd Unit for Kick-Ass. Didn’t see Matthew Vaughn on site. They seemed to be shooting the opening shots of the movie. The camera starts off facing the wrecked taxi and ends up on a close up of the license plate that reads ‘Kick-Ass’

That’s the way to start a movie!
