Prize-pack Giveaway: How KICK-ASS Are You?

We know you can’t fly.  We know you can’t read minds.  And we’re pretty sure you can’t walk through walls.  We also know you love prizes, and what’s more kick ass than a prize pack of KICK-ASS goodies to commemorate the release of the new film on April 16th?  We’ve got loads of prizes to give away, but, in order to be a winner, you have to show us just how KICK-ASS you can be.  Think you’ve got what it takes to be a superhero? Prove it!

Here’s all you got to do:

  • Videotape yourself shadowboxing like a KICK-ASS superhero.
  • Post that video on YouTube.
  • Send the link to me at kirk@wearemoviegeeks.com

It’s that simple.  We’ll be adding these videos to this very article as they come in, so be sure to get this done before the avalanche of embedded videos dominates the article.  At the end of the contest, we’ll pick the best of the bunch and send out the KICK-ASS prize packs.

And, whether you win or not, be sure to check out KICK-ASS when it hits theaters on April 16th.

KICK-ASS gets a theatrical trailer… that kicks ass!

Finally, a KICK-ASS trailer that is both awesome and doesn’t suck without being red-band. In the trailer you get to see Nic Cage in action as Big Daddy, more Hit Girl stuff, Red Mist and Kick-Ass transformation. All in all I’d say this trailer is perfect. Check it out below thanks to Yahoo movies.
