We’ve had Kick-Ass and now, here’s Bad Ass. Starring a real bad ass himself, Danny Trejo is back…being…um…bad ass…and kicking…ah….ass.
The story is based on a real life Bad Ass, called Thomas Bruso, or Epic Beard Man as many of you may know him as. This was the dude who kicked ass on a bus in back in February 2010 and the subsequent video on youtube went viral. The clip below is the actual viral video.
So now, you’ve got the back story, here’s the Hollywood take…And while its using some artistic licence, it still looks like a blast! Hit play and find out for yourself!
Synopsis: Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart.

But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren’t doing anything about it.
