| Kiss Me Deadly | comment |
1955 Film Noir adaptation of the Crime Fiction novel by Mickey Spillane, directed by Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?) and starring Ralph Meeker as Los Angeles Private Detective Mike Hammer.Spillane didn't much care for the film, as it actually deconstructed his macho, tough guy creation and differed from the original story by involving Cold War espionage and a nuclear MacGuffin. Originally unsuccessful upon its theatrical release, it is now considered one of the classic examples of Film Noir and was later cited as influential among directors of the French New Wave and also Quentin Tarantino when he made Pulp Fiction.A terrified young woman named Christina Bailey (Cloris Leachman in her first credited screen role) wearing only a trenchcoat is running down a highway at night. She stops a car driven by private divorce detective Mike Hammer. He picks her up, from then on becoming embroiled in a plot involving murder, missing scientists and a mysterious box... | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Kiss Me Deadly / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: This film did not do Mike Hammer any favors. Whereas in the books Hammer was merely a standard Private Eye (Jerkass at times, but otherwise good), this movie made him a goddamn sadist. He's honestly not much better than the people he's up against. This is one of the reasons that Mickey Spillane didn't like the film. | |

Adaptational Mundanity: Inverted: the "Great Whatsit" and everything related to it didn't exist in the Hammer story that inspired this film, and although Gabrielle still goes off like a Roman candle in it, it's because it is revealed she constantly slathers herself in alcohol to stave off the pain of a highly-burned body and Hammer exploits it with a Reusable Lighter Toss. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Kiss Me Deadly / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: one of the most infamous in Hollywood history. After 90 minutes of fairly typical film noir plotting, "Lily" opens the briefcase after Soberin desperately warned her not to. Whatever is inside, apparently nuclear in nature, instantly consumes the entire house in fire while releasing an unearthly, demonic screech and the film just ends while Mike and Velda are scrambling for safety. | |
