Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Post by Winnow »

This movie is OK.

Robert Downey Jr plays a thief turned actor by chance. Val Kilmer plays a gay detective.

Robert Downey narrates the story and stops the film to add additional background comments and points out cliches in the film, etc. Downey's character isn't too bright (in a funny way, not dumb and dumber way) and Val Kilmer plays a good gay "tough guy".

Robert Downey's character keeps screwing up basic detective things which leads to Val Kilmer saying some funny things. The female/love interest in the movie is an interesting character as well.

Not much to explain, just watch the fucking thing.

8/10 for most people
7.5/10 if Robert Downey Jr talking too much annoys you

Loved this movie. The dialogue between "Gay Perry" and Downey, Jr. is awesome.

Yeah, awesome movie, I think more like 8.5/10. IMDB rates it 7.9, but I love black comedy...

Great movie. One of my favorite movie quotes:
Perry: My $2000 ceramic Vektor my mother got me as a special gift. You threw in the lake next to the car. What happens when they drag the lake? You think they'll find my pistol. Jesus. Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?
Harry: A picture of me?
Perry: No! The definition of the word idiot, which you fucking are!

This scene cracked me up.

Copied from IMDB:
[Harry catches Agent Type feeling up Harmony, who's passed out]

Harry: You know what? You'd better be her doctor.

[Agent Type looks up, busted]

Harry: Walk away, don't think, just do it.

Agent Type: What are you, her brother or something? It's none of your business, man. I will fuck you up.

Harry: [coolly] No. You'll try, and that little experiment will end in tears, my friend. So, again for the cheap seats, do not think, walk the *fuck* away - or let's you and me go outside right now. It's past my bedtime. Make a choice.

[Cut immediately to Harry on the ground, getting savagely beaten by the Agent Type]
