    • Trivia
      As a show of support for Robert Downey Jr.'s recovery from alcohol and drugs, Val Kilmer refused to drink during the entire production.
    • Goofs
      When the camera zooms in on the newspaper article detailing the story about the film crew coming to the small town of Embry, Indiana to film a movie, the website www.embrystar.com is visible under the name of the newspaper. The article supposedly was written and published in 1982, eight years before the first website existed.
    • 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!

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the movie, Val Kilmer says not to leave, to stay and watch the credits, and if you're wondering who the Best Boy is, he's someone's nephew. (The actual Best Boy credit is Jack Bauer.)

    7/10
    A funny and complex film that doesn't take itself too seriously
    Shane Black's films seem to have a very unique sense of humour about them. They don't always work for me but they often contain either very clever humour that makes you smile inwardly, or there will always be a couple of moments of genuine laugh out loud humour along the way. 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is probably the funniest thing I've seen from him.

    The film is very self-aware. It is not afraid to break the fourth wall with its narration. I'm not always the biggest fan of narration but it works reasonably well here. In particular because the story is pretty darn complex, so it is good to have a guiding voice that can clear the odd thing up.

    The film is boosted by a great cast. Robert Down Jr. And Val Kilmer were perfectly suited for their roles. Kilmer in his prime was such a treat to watch. I had a good time with this one. 7/10.
