WTF Happened To Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?!

[@Spoggi99YT]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is one of those rare movies that just hits all the right notes for me. It’s clever, hilarious, and has so much heart. Watching it for the first time felt like finding exactly what I didn’t know I needed, and now it’s a must-watch every Christmas. Happy holiday season everyone! :)

[@LucyLioness100]

My mom hyped this movie so hard to me

[@lestera34]

This movie is such an underrated classic. Love everything about it.

[@camaronshoultz6137]

The fact that the long kiss goodnight flopped is just crazy to me. Definitely one of my favorite action movies of all time! And Christmas movies as well!

[@SpecialProjectY]

Was surprised too, this movie is an absolute gem.

[@danlove12k]

A long kiss goodnight is a classic. I love it. Kiss kiss bang bang is another classic too 😊

[@wstine79]

The scene where Robert Downey Jr.'s criminal was hiding in the audition room and spilled his guts only to be confused for an actor was my favorite scene.

[@LucyLioness100]

That was brilliant

[@mc1993]

It truly is.

[@dddon513]

Wasn't that the plot of Barry too?

[@PokeTheBunny]

I have to think that when Val Kilmer says "You have 30 of my seconds, Thrill me." it is a nod to one of Shane Black's friend's project "Night of the Creeps". Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is fantastic and has become an annual favorite.

[@LucyLioness100]

He must’ve enjoyed that movie or been a fan cause it’s too deliberate not to be an homage. Plus the deadpan delivery with disinterest in Harry’s explanation is so spot-on

[@mc1993]

Thanks for making me watch this movie again. Seriously, Thank you. I had caught this as a Netflix DVD rental, and was so engrossed and impressed with every aspect of this film. The Shane Black's script was made for Robert and Val command of witty banter. Definitely one of my favorite Val Kilmer and RDJ roles. RDJ followed up with A Scanner Darkly the following year did indeed set the stage for his comeback. I've always wondered if South Parks' Trey Parker & Matt Stone also found inspiration (or paid homage to) KKBB, for their ManBearPig seemed to be the insert monster to the 'I'm an actress' girl at the opening party scene.

[@SirSmoldham]

Shane Black ROCKS. I had friends that worked on Lethal Weapon 2 and 3 and I was made aware of a moment in the original Lethal Weapon script that described Riggs and Murtaugh driving up to the home of a crime kingpin like this, "They pull up to the kind of house that I will buy after I sell this script." Every Christmas I have a Shane Black marathon. He really likes this holiday. Can't wait to see what you do with "Nice Guys".

[@jordibarguno]

This movie is the definition of an underrated film. RDJ is great in the movie, but Val Kilmer steals the show.

[@jliller]

RDJ being a controversial choice for Tony Stark is wild in hindsight, not the least of which because he had the look and the personal experience to tap into for Stark's reckless behavior and personal issues. It's one of those uncomfortable questions: would RDJ have been able to play Tony Stark so well if his own life hadn't been so messed up for awhile? Regardless, I look forward to seeing his take on Doom.

[@LucyLioness100]

Shane deliberately took a chance on RDJ & said if he messed up he (Shane) would personally cover any issue that arose. He saw potential in RDJ’s career coming back after such a dark time which was why RDJ called him in to do “Iron Man 3” since Favreau was making “Chef” at the time

[@filippos13]

A fun R rated buddy cop film, which came out in a period that action films were going to the child friendly PG-13!

[@RTKdarling]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. Val just kills me every time

[@Omar-wq9dz]

You can tell it’s Shane Black when it’s a Christmas setting

[@UltraMagnis]

Love this film, in my top 5 for sure I often go back and watch it. Shane black basically did everything you are ment to not do in a script, Voice over all the way through it, gay masculine character, bumbling idiot main character that had 0 skills, strong female character before it was forced down our throats. Did it right too, not a Mary Sue....she makes mistakes and messes up. Yet it was amazing, one of the best written films out there. I often recommend it to people and they always end up letting me know how much they loved it. It's a great film, Downey and kilma were awesome in this great chemistry.

[@trinaq]

This movie was the start of Robert Downey Jnr's comeback. A young Ariel Winter plays Michelle Monaghan's character as a child.

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

I was lucky enough to have read BOTH the script for Kiss, Kiss Bang Bang AND The Nice Guys wayyyyyy back in 2003. One right after the other in the same night. It had bee so long since The Long Kiss Goodnight that I was jonesin for a Shane Black script. Can you tell I am a huge fan? Both scripts were among the very best I had ever read. His 2003 version of The Nice Guys is so much better than the movie, it's ridiculous. I was also lucky to have seen Kiss Kiss the day it opened. Of course, I had to drive two hours to see it, but it was worth it! It's probably the script of his that changed the least from page to screen. Luckily for all of us, Black just finished writing and directing a movie for Amazon with Mark Wahlberg based on a Donald E. Westlake novel that should premiere in 2025! Can't wait.

[@butiplayoneontv]

I had to drive 2.5 hours to a theater that was showing this. And it was worth every second of the 5 hour round trip. Bought it the day it dropped on DVD as well. One of my top ten films of all time.

[@RH1812]

Nothing happened to it. I watch it regularly

[@asifkhan4822]

This was the movie that kick-started Robert Downey Jnr comeback 👏 leading to the MCU to choose him for Iron In 2008.

[@weemonkslots]

Shane Black is a one trick pony within his style of writing. That's not to say that he's a bad writer, far from, you just know what you're getting with a Shane Black script. Always the same style and tropes. Fair play because some of the greatest action films have come from him. Love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. That's Shane Black all the way.

[@LucyLioness100]

I just rewatched over the weekend & it’s still such an underrated Christmas movie. RDJ & Val Kilmer had an excellent chemistry and knowing Val went cold turkey in solidarity for RDJ’s recovery warms my heart. The writing is beyond bonkers, but so quotable and funny & Shane Black directs well

[@achimosis]

I really liked the long kiss goodnight

[@PrincessofPower84]

God I love this movie! Even my older brother and my Dad were huge fans. I loved the soundtrack so much, I even bought Robert Downey Jr.'s album just to hear "Broken".

@@jamesmorant1406 they are what makes the movie so funny. It’s like extreme Riggs & Murtaugh if Riggs was a career criminal idiot and Murtaugh a snarky gay man who is just over Rigg’s idiocy

Nice Guys and Kiss Kiss are absolutely fantastic films. Predator 5.... that movie is beyond bad. It is total shite.

[@transformersrevenge9]

I didn't like this movie that much. It was kinda dated, not too funny or clever, and I guess seeing it after the much better Nice Guys didn't help. Also Shane Black ruining Predator, really hasn't made me care too much about his films. Nice Guys only worked because the main duo was beyond incredible.

[@12cm32]
