Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Kiss kiss bang bang is silly fun and disturbing, bouncing between quirky humour and playful perveness. Set in some yuppie enclave in suburban London (Clapham?). Several warped and clueless twenty something characters go about their individual pointless lives blissfully unaware that a wolf in sheep's clothing now lives amongst them. When the scheming Machiavellian type gets jealous, mayhem, rape and multiple murders ensue as a psycho takes out and seduces the locals. Very strange but memorable soundtrack, some good twists and very funny banter, with a very memorable if sometimes inaudible hit man raises this well above your average tele-movie of the week. A must for all Russ Meyer fans!

Picked up this recent DVD release on a friend's recommendation. She was write it's very funny, a bit surreal with a great sound track. The story is nothing other than metal, a truly distinctive mind at work here. The film is vibrantly colourful and the characters though simple are well played and thought out. Particularily liked the Hitman character, very scary, very twisted. Hollywood would never fund a film like this. More the pity because it's funky and very original. Rent it, buy it, watch it. Your going to love it. In a word unforgetable!

I read such contradictory comments on this film that I decided to check it out myself. I thought that it would be dreadful, what a surprise! Once you get your head round the kitchy Art Work that makes it look like some kind of seventies Italian exploitation film and the slow start, if you make it that far you're in for a treat. It is a very strange film indeed, the music is the first thing I noticed, the sound track seems to have been selected with a wry sense of humour, very tongue in cheek, very unusual, towards the end it had me completely hooked, don't know if the sound track is available on CD. The story is your classic boy meets girl and proceeds to go wrong and murder and mayhem ensue. Lots of very unexpected twists and very strange characters. Particularily liked the mini horror film scene, creepy and memorable. On the whole a highly enjoyable film. I can understand why it's had it's detractors though. It's quite insane and if you like your films logical and glossy this would be a dissapointment. I like the eclectic and the bizarre so Kiss Kiss Bang Bang get my highest vote. Ten out of Ten. More please!

A great combination of humour and action, with several wonderfully unexpected twists, the cinematography is fantastic, with very dynamic hand held shots some very amusing camera angles. Saw it on video, didn't see it out in the cinema's? A clever plot, strong cast and London as you've never seen it before. Watch out for those creepy neighbours!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a very strange movie, it kicks off lick a romantic comedy from the fifties, moves swiftly into serial killer territory, bounces between farce and surreality, to land in gritty noir murder and black comedy. I can say quite seriously I never really new what was coming next, eclectic and sublime! Ten outta Ten.
