| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang | comment |
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a 2005 World of Snark Black Comedy film, acting as a self-aware parody of pulp detective novels and Film Noir. Narrated by the deadpan and lemony Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.), the film opens as Harry flees a crime scene into a movie audition. Having just witnessed his buddy being shot and killed, Harry suffers an emotional breakdown in front of the producer, who mistakes him for a professional method actor and casts him in a Detective Drama.Sent to Hollywood for a screen test, Harry is partnered with a sassy, gay Private Detective called Gay Perry (Val Kilmer) to get a feel for his acting role. After stumbling upon childhood crush Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), Harry heads on a routine stakeout with Perry; when the duo then inadvertently witnesses a body being dumped, they find themselves tangling with a surprisingly deep-rooted murder plot... just like the pulp novels Harmony used to read as a kid.The movie was directed and written by Shane Black in his directorial debut. Despite being a box-office bomb (thanks to Executive Meddling), the movie was a critical success and went on to become a Cult Classic.To avoid confusion it's worth mentioning that two other films also exist with the same title, one from 1966 and one from 2001. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Likewise, no relation to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. (This film was actually loosely adapted from a 1940s pulp fiction detective novel called Bodies Are Where You Find Them.) | |

This Loser Is You: Harry occasionally chides the audience in his narration. "How about you, movie-goer? Have you figured out the case of the... dead people in LA yet? Times Square audiences, please don't shout at the screen, and stop picking at that, it'll just get worse." "And for all you good people in the Midwest, sorry we said "fuck" so much." | |

Revolver Cylinder Spin | |
| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / int_175a4420 | comment |
Revolver Cylinder Spin: While interrogating a thug as to the whereabouts of Harmony, Harry does this after loading a single bullet into his revolver, using it to threaten him. Believing that the chances of the bullet being first in the cylinder are "only eight percent", he immediately pulls the trigger. It doesn't end well for the thug. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: References to Noir abound, and Harmony's extensive knowledge of pulp crime novels comes in handy. There turns out to be a reason for that - Harlan Dexter, who played Johnny Gossamer in an old movie and has all those novels at his home, is behind the crime. Perry knows his film noir, too. Particularly the part about how mooks always stick guns directly against the hero's back, when professionals in real life know to never, ever do this. Perry also uses his savviness to get out of another such situation, when he uses a homophobe's prejudices against him by keeping a tiny revolver stashed next to his crotch, knowing that the guy would never bother to check there. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Perry's "faggot gun", a miniature derringer Harry finds in Perry's glove box. As Perry says, homophobes avoid patting down his groin when checking for guns, which he later uses to his advantage. Also, the revolver planted in Harry's room: Harmony, unable to get a distant Perry's attention, accidentally drops and misfires it, warning and saving Perry; and Harry inadvertently fires it playing Russian Roulette with a mook, leading to Dexter capturing them. | |

Spiritual Successor: Shane Black's later film The Nice Guys has a very similiar buddy-comedy neo-noir vibe, and a few of the jokes echo the ones in this movie. Notably, both films involve a scene where a male character covers up the nudity of a dead woman. | |

Chivalrous Pervert: Harry has a serious case of this - no problem hitting on, looking at, or sleeping with women, but he has deep issues with any unsolicited contact and is uncomfortable with "easy" Hollywood girls. Early on in the movie he gets beat up preventing a guy from groping a sleeping Harmony at a party, only to hit on her hours after, and then sleep with her friend. Later, he touches her breast to get a spider, and when says she didn't mind if he had copped a feel, he freaks out and says there's something wrong with her and the guys she hangs out with if she's become that blasé about being groped. He ;ater adamantly refuses "pity sex". | |

Metaphorgotten: When the mooks at the Christmas party appear: note For the record, "Ike and Mike" are old-timey nicknames for salt and pepper, so "Ike, Mike and Mustard" are your standard-issue diner condiments. It's also a metaphor-within-a-metaphor: "salt and pepper" is slang for white-black mixed-race pairing, which the mooks are, which makes Harry the mustard. The term itself makes sense, but the metaphor itself is still distorted. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: A lot could be written about the many different ways in which the fourth wall is nudged in this movie. Characters frequently comment on the quality of the writing, catching each other on misused phrases, overly obscure references. At one point a man complains that the death threat he's receiving is syntactically ambiguous. Same can be said about acting and Hollywood. Some characters refer to each other performing skills and comment on actors' careers : At the climax as Gay Perry is about to explain the plot to Harry and Harmony he says "Do you see where I'm going with this?" Equally him talking the characters and the writer talking to the audience. | |

Not What It Looks Like: A funny example. Perry forcibly kisses Harry to make some cops move along. Harmony witnesses the kiss and asks why they were making out. Cut to Harry VOing that he managed to convince her he wasn't gay and that he's not going to tell us how. Another case is Harry taking out a spider that entered Harmony's bra. She of course thinks he was copping a feel - not before showing she was somehow OK with it. | |

Parental Incest | |
| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / int_606244c2 | comment |
Parental Incest: The reason Harmony leaves for L.A. is that her father is raping her little sister, Jenna. Harlan Dexter is a borderline example of this, given he apparently had no qualms sleeping with a doppelgänger of his own daughter. Finding out about this was what drove Jenna to suicide, since she thought Harlan was her own real father, and didn't realize that what she saw wasn't actual incest. | |

| Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: Before the dog eats Harry's finger, he sticks it in a bowl of ice to try and preserve it so that he can have a doc reattach it later. Unfortunately, with amputated digits or limbs, it's important that if you do this, you have to wrap it in plastic first. Direct contact with the ice destroys the nerve endings, making reattachment impossible. Justified in that Harry knows absolutely nothing about medicine... | |

Foreshadowing: At the end of the second act, Harry and Harmony note that everything turned out like a Jonny Gossamer novel, except in the books he always ends up getting tortured before escaping and shooting a bunch of mooks. Come the real close of the case, Harry then ends up getting tortured before he and Perry escape and have a shoot-out with Dexter and his mooks. When Harry is retrieving Perry's phone from his pocket after he gets shot, his ringtone is "I Will Survive". Of course he's Not Quite Dead. Perry strongly states Harmony's sister actually committed suicide. Until the end of the movie, viewers tend to think he's wrong. | |

Overly Long Gag: Harry meets Harmony several times while standing at her door entrance. When she gets mad, she slams the door in his face, and every time, right before it slams loudly, we get an undistinct shot of him leaning with his hand in the doorway, as if she is going to shut his fingers in the door. While not so much of a gag by itself, it kinda Crosses the Line Twice in a Brick Joke way, when she actually cut one of his fingers this way. | |

Red Herring: The murder case involving Harmony's sister Jenna. Granted, it is one of the events that sets the main plot in motion, but the case itself turns out to be a standard, pretty irrelevant case of suicide. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Harlan Dexter and his daughter, lampshaded viciously by Harry during his narration. Harmony's three friends apply to this: Flicka tells Harmony that Harry is a detective (causing Harmony to push him into taking her case), and later sees Harry at the airport where she inadvertently gives him a clue (by revealing Harmony is "Allison Ames"); and the "Homely Friend" and the waitress friend promptly return to cause more conflict between Harry and Harmony. | |

Decon-Recon Switch: At times it's a Deconstructor Fleet of detective clichés (Perry says that his client wasn't a smoking seductress, but a girl he's never seen because she hired by phone and paid in credit); then the tropes appear anyway (when Harmony tells Harry about what happened with her sister, she seductively inhales from a cigarette while asking "Are you a detective?"). | |

Hollywood Spelling: Averted when Perry briefs Harry on their assignment, giving the name of his client as "Allison Ames, A-M-E-S". (Although he probably could have clarified how "Allison" was spelled as well.) This ensures that, when we hear the name again, we remember it. | |

Only a Flesh Wound: Happens twice to Harry. A gunshot wound to the shoulder doesn't seem to slow him down at all in the final showdown. This also occurs near the start of the movie after Harry is shot in the arm through his partner. Harry is still able to run from the cops and accidentally pass an audition with no trouble. | |

When she faints later on, he tries to swat a spider from her cleavage, waking her up and making her think that he was groping her. | |

Brick Joke: The 35 year old actress Harmony makes fun of at the bar reappears at the very end of the film starring in the same Generos beer commercial Harmony was in. After Harry rips on the use of the Coincidental Broadcast trope, a few scenes later he watches a news broadcast in which, for no good reason, the location of the climax is mentioned, exactly as Harry complained about earlier. Harmony mentions to Harry that she is afraid of spiders. When she passes out, one enters her bra. | |
