Mikes Film Talk
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang () turned out to be, essentially, a gay buddy film, that works. The film is quick, self aware and comical. Even the violent scenes tickle that old funny bone.
Although initially, I was reticent.
Finally, after being told by numerous people (well, two at least) that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was a dynamite film. One that showed implicitly that Shane Black was an awesome director beforeIron Man 3, I decided to watch it. Especially after seeing a clip from the film that featured Val Kilmer, Robert Downey Jr and Evan Parke where Downey shoots Parke in the head.
Shane Black
Despite that sounding bad, it was actually quite funny and after being told by my soon-to-be illustrious director Natasha Harmer that, &#;Oh, it gets even better.&#; Watching the film became a &#;done deal.&#; Just for the record the other &#;fan&#; of this film is my daughter Meg&#;s significant other Max.

&#;You don&#;t get it, do you? This isn&#;t good cop, awful cop. This is fag and New Yorker.&#;
&#; Perry sums up the premise for Harry
In Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Shane Black&#;s entertaining comedy thriller, HARRY LOCKHART (a pre-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., on his fourteenth or so &#;comeback&#;), is a hapless petty thief from Unused York City who&#;s mistaken for an actor by a Hollywood producer casting a detective movie. Before you can sayA Thrill a Minute With Jack Albany, the producer ships him off to Los Angeles for a screen test to play a hard-boiled private detective in an upcoming production.
Harry gets teamed up with the film&#;s technical adviser, real-life hard-boiled private eye PERRY van SHRIKE, aka &#;GAY PERRY&#; (Val Kilmer), to prep him for his screen test.
Perry is the real deal, though&#;a genuinely hard-boiled dick, cynical and harsh and &#; oh yeah &#;gay.

One could argue the holiday is only there for set dressing, but director Shane Black—who so far has set five of the ten films he has written around Christmas—says it’s an intentional choice. In a interview with Den of Geek, Jet noted:
Christmas is fun. It’s unifying, and all your characters are involved in this event that stays within the larger story. It roots it, I believe, it grounds everything. At Christmas, lonely people are lonelier, seeing friends and families go by. People take reckoning, they stock of where their lives are
