SEX. Murder. Mystery. Welcome to the party.

Harry Lockhart narrates in first person how he ended up at a Hollywood party in Los Angeles, shortly before Christmas. To explain, he goes back to New York, where he is a small-time thief with bad luck. After a robbery goes wrong at a toy store, the police are on his heels, and he needs to hide immediately. He accidentally walks into a building where auditions are being held for a detective movie and, to avoid drawing the attention of the officers, he passes himself off as an actor. The film is directed by Shane Black, and the lead role is played by Robert Downey Jr.

Trivia about Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Robert Downey Jr. learned about the film from his girlfriend at the time, Susan Levin, who worked as an assistant to Joel Silver. He was then called in to audition.
The lead role, back when the film was titled L.A.P.I., was offered to Benicio del Toro, Hugh Grant and Johnny Knoxville. None of them ended up in the cast.
The Hollywood party that opens the film was shot at the mansion Black owned in Los Angeles, according to the production.
Black paid tribute to Raymond Chandler by dividing the film into chapters titled after the author's books, such as The Lady in the Lake.

Quotes by Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

  • [voiceover] I was wetter than Drew Barrymore at a grunge club.
  • It was the first time I felt how pitying someone and wanting to fuck them can get all tangled up in your head. Overwhelming sadness, meanwhile you got a Rodney. Is that sick? I think… yeah… I think that's sick.
  • Don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to end this 17 times.
  • Wow, I feel sore. I mean physically, not like a guy who's angry in a movie in the 1950's.
  • Anyway, by now you may wonder how I wound up here. Or maybe not. Maybe you wonder how silly putty picks shit up from comic books. The point is, I don't see another goddamn narrator, so pipe down.
  • I sent Harmony home believing A, we'd meet tomorrow to go over her case, and B, I'm not actually gay. Please do not ask me how I did B.
