During a 43-year career, Jim Carrey has had the opportunity to play great characters on the big screen, from the comedies like ‘Ace Ventura’ and ‘A Couple of Idiots’, to the drama ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ».
Jim Carrey Regrets Starring in ‘Kick-Ass 2’
It was in 2010 that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloë Grace Moretz starred in ‘Kick-Ass’, a film rated for adults only due to the number of violent scenes it has.
In the film, Aaron Taylor-Johnson becomes Kick-Ass, a powerless superhero who faces a crime boss alongside Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz), a girl he has trained to fight all kinds of threats.
With success, Universal Pictures released the sequel “Kick-Ass 2” in 2013, which was overshadowed in the United States by a tragedy: a school shooting.
It was December 14, 2012 when Adam Lanza killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before turning the gun on himself. This fact marked the actor significantly, who did not hesitate to express his opinion on X’s account in June 2013.
The actor who plays Doctor Eggman in the ‘Sonic’ franchise shared that this event changed his idea for the film, which is why he stopped promoting the project and is a prominent advocate for gun control.
What character does Jim Carrey play in ‘Kick-Ass 2’?
The Jeff Wadlow-directed film stars Jim Carrey as Sal Bertolini, whose vigilante name is Colonel Stars and Stripes.
This man is a former mobster who teams up with the protagonists to take on The Motherfucker (played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Despite his past, Colonel Stars is a converted Christian who refuses to shoot guns, which adds a layer of complexity to his character as he appears next to a dog and wields a baseball bat.
If you haven’t seen the movie, you better stop reading right now.
The Colonel is the leader of a group of superheroes called “Justice Forever” and includes other characters such as Battle-Guy (played by Clark Duke) and Night-Bitch (played by Lindy Booth).
In one of the most important sequences, The Motherfucker, who is also on her own team, confronts the Colonel about the whereabouts of Kick-Ass. After getting the information he wanted, the colonel dies at the hands of “Mother Russia”
The death of Colonel Stars and Stripes is a poignant and tragic moment in the film, whose sacrifice leaves an imprint on Kisk-Ass and Hit-Girl.
