Action Movie Landfill - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Manage episode 371221755 series 1236247
The Oddjob Pod’s foray into the action movies of the sell-through era continues with Shane Black’s 2005 film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Black’s neo-noir satire and homage acts as a comeback movie for one of its stars, Robert Downey Junior whose reputation in Hollywood has taken something of a knock for well-documented reasons.
The film is a meta, fourth-wall-breaking action comedy which received a standing ovation at the Cannes film festival and is celebrated by film buffs for its stylish presentation. The film is a beautiful blend of light and dark, contains tremendous chemistry between Downey Junior and his co-star Val Kilmer and showcases the immaculate Michelle Monaghan as Downey Junior’s lost love, Harmony.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang also features an openly gay character, played by Kilmer. We discuss this character and ask how it holds up in 2023.
