‘Kick-Ass’ Soundtrack Features Ennio Morricone, The Prodigy, New York Dolls, Elvis Presley & More

With “Kick-Ass” not only leading the buzz out of SXSW, but seemingly drowning everyone else out, the people behind the film are wasting no time in getting word about the film out there. With the release date five weeks away, reviews are already clogging most film sites.

Unfortunately for the people over at Polydor Records, they can’t seem to get their act together. While we previously reported that Mika would be singing the film’s title track, little did we know the label had tweeted the full tracklisting the same day. You wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at their website, which still has no details, or most online retailers, who have incomplete or missing tracklistings.

Anyway, we’ve tracked it all down and have the complete listing below. As we noted in our review of the film yesterday, director Matthew Vaughn makes “great use of source music,” though Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” which accompanied one of our favorite moments of the film, seems to be missing here. That said, the soundtrack seems both cheeky and high energy which is no surprise. Classic composer Ennio Morricone stands alongside acts such as The Prodigy, Primal Scream, The Dickies and New York Dolls. There appears to be dialogue snippets from the film included as well.

The soundtrack seems to be a UK only release, hitting stores on March 29th. There is no word yet if it will be released domestically as well.

  6. Seems like the ones that aren't music tracks (such as the Big Daddy warehouse sequence) from the film aren't on the listing from Amazon unfortunately. :/

  8. hey guys,
    for those who want to know what song is playing during Big Daddy's fight in the lumber warehouse it is the theme song from 28 Days Later.
    The score is done by John Murphy. Hope this helps.

  9. hey guys, the song at the big daddy fight scene was called "don Abandons Alice" from 28 weeks later, by John Murphy, i recognised it instantly, i know, im awesome, praise me now 🙂

  10. "hey guys, the song at the big daddy fight scene was called "don Abandons Alice" from 28 weeks later, by John Murphy, i recognised it instantly, i know, im awesome, praise me now :)"

    would have been awsome yesterday, today mediocre :s

  11. There's another piece of music I can't find in the film, it's when hit girl comes out of the lift and has killed the first few bad guys and is waiting to do her run up the corridor. Again it starts slow and builds up with heavy drums. Does anyone what this is? It may be a score piece, not sure though…

  12. When hit girl comes out of the lift (the slow bit)
    When i first watched the film i thought it was "kryptonite" by 3 doors down
    But.. i'm not sure hence why i looked on here 😛

  14. Did anyone notice that the 'In the house in a heartbeat' bit is actually different from the original? The four-note sequence is played in a different order, making me think the composer might just have copied it and be passing it off as his own? Oooh, naughty.

  16. There's another piece of music I can't find in the film, it's when hit girl comes out of the lift and has killed the first few bad guys and is waiting to do her run up the corridor. Again it starts slow and builds up with heavy drums. Does anyone what this is? It may be a score piece, not sure though…

    i also really want to find this song! Can anyone help? PLEASE

  17. hi, anyone know the piece of music when big daddy's putting on his makeup and facial hair in front of the mirror?
    it's slow and rather sad… i think piano based.

    is that john murphy's? house in a heartbeat or sunshine?

  18. I was wondering if anyone knew the piece of music where Kick Ass was training on the rooftops and chickened out jumping.

    It sounded similar to parts of 'coronation' in Stardust…but I really want to know the exact piece

  19. Where is this version of the soundtrack? I've only seen the smaller soundtrack with 14 tracks, all of the songs by artists, with none of the 9 score pieces from the film. Really want the score and would love to know if anyone finds somewhere with this listed version of the soundtrack with all 23 tracks

  20. I saw the film last week and there were a couple of tracks from the 28 DAYS LATER soundtrack being used, that is probably the slow track a couple of you are mentioning.

  23. what is the song called in the trailer it goes like what you gona do when they come for you but when i looked it up it was only rap but in the trailer it was rock

  28. There's another piece of music I can't find in the film, it's when hit girl comes out of the lift and has killed the first few bad guys and is waiting to do her run up the corridor. Again it starts slow and builds up with heavy drums. Does anyone what this is? It may be a score piece, not sure though…

    I would love to know that song too If anyone out there knows this song let us know please. Thank You

  29. The song that EVERYONE is looking for during that seen is a very little known song called "The Forest" by a composer Jamin Winans. It originally was in a movie called INK which is one of my favorites.

  30. I need the name of the song that is on when she gets out of the elevator after killing those three guys, please help!

    "The Forest" by a composer Jamin Winans is not even close to it.

  36. whats the song playing when they are flying over new york on jet packs? and the one everyone wants to know, when hit girl comes out of the elevator?

  37. what is the name of the song with the woman singing, no words but the singing is so beautiful. i have heard it before, but it the name is eluding me. they play it when red mist is driving kickass to the lumber warehouse.

  41. Does anyone know the song when they are walking out of the movie theatre and the redmist and his dad are just pulling up to the theatre? I would love to know this song please

  42. "Does anyone know the song when they are walking out of the movie theatre and the redmist and his dad are just pulling up to the theatre? I would love to know this song please"

    I think that's Can't Go Back by Primal Scream

  43. Pretty sure the slow and sad piano music playing when Big Daddy's putting on his makeup and facial hair in front of the mirror is called 'Who Are You' from the motion picture 'Miami Vice'. Another John Murphy piece.

  46. EVERYONE WANTING THE HIT-GIRL/ELEVATOR SONG (BEFORE "BAD REPUTATION"):

    It is an original piece that the composers talk about at around 19:30 in this interview.
    http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=5253

    "November Rain" and "Kryptonite" were close, "THE FOREST" was not. Unfortunately, it's not downloadable, but hopefully I helped my fellow searchers. On a side-note, it sounds almost like a slower/quieter/picked version of the intro chords to The New York Dolls' "We're All in Love," which is also on the soundtrack. Just a thought…

  47. Ok for the song with Kick Ass on the Jet Pack:

    'An American Trilogy' – Elvis Presley

    For The Big Daddy Death Scene. This one is tough. It is indeed a John Murphy Song. However, Its like a combo of sounds if that makes sence. You have themes from:

    'Who Are you' – Miami Vice Soundtrack

    'Surface of the Sun' – Sunshine Soundtrack

    'Adaigo in D Minor' – Sunshine Soundtrack (and used in like 4 other songs from this sountrack)

  51. The track a lot of people seem to be after, the one where hit-girl is in the hallway after getting out of the elevator, according to the John Murphy Facebook page, this song is simply called "Corridor," and it will be release with the score soundtrack.

    Murphy also said he thought this is the worst score he did in the movie, I tend to disagree, I think it's the best.

  53. The song that's playing when Kick-ass and hit girl fly off on the jet pack is a score called "Flying,"(Obvious, I know.) It is a score and therefore will release with the score soundtrack.

  54. what is the name of the song with the woman singing, no words but the singing is so beautiful. i have heard it before, but it the name is eluding me. they play it when red mist is driving kickass to the lumber warehouse.

    help

  55. "Anonymous said…

    do you know who its by?? ive searched through every song on itunes called "flying" and its none of them

    thanks

  56. "There's another piece of music I can't find in the film, it's when hit girl comes out of the lift and has killed the first few bad guys and is waiting to do her run up the corridor.

    That is a score piece "inspired by" November Rain.

  57. most of these songs sound familiar cos the film was obviously temp tracked with music from other songs (and the instrumental finale of november rain)

    These songs have been modified though to fit the beats of the scene and be different enough to be classed as "original" score

    None of this score is available yet, someone said it will be on itunes soon, so just wait.

  66. Okay, I don';t feel like reading hundreds of comments, full of the same mentioned songs, so..

    WHATS the soundtrack when Dave and Mindy are flying through the city, at the end of the movie? (1u43)

  67. hey there's one I havent seen mentioned- the song when he is training and about to jump off the roof but stops.

    theres a pretty cool little bit of score right there

    any ideas?

    everything else has been found thanks to this thread

  69. that great music that you hear during the big daddy blowout sequence as well as many other times
    is john murphy. he did the fantastic soundtrack from 28 days and sunshine.

  70. Just a heads-up to all those who like the slow, sad piece playing when MistMobile is heading to Safehouse B/Big Daddy is in the mirror – if you like that piece, I would imagine you'd like to check out 'Host of Seraphim' by Dead Can Dance. From 'The Mist' soundtrack, awesome piece. I see a lot of similarity between the two.

  73. i would like to know what the song is called when kick ass goes to see rasoul (not when they are getting killed) the one when kick ass is walking down the corridor and the fat man says what are you a green condom… it would soooo love it if it was a real song

  76. hey i watched d movie 2 weeks ago and stilll i cant find the music which dey played in d starting of movie while introducing d nerdy guy which l8r on turned out to kick-ass.
    Tht music was played wen d school scene was shown in d begining of d movie

  79. Hey guys, the part when hit girl comes off the elevator or lift and kills the 1st couple guys the slo part comes up, that is kryptonite by 3 doors down and then she shoots the 2 bullets and the song changes to bad reputation. hope this helps
