Trivia:
Val Kilmer had to quickly lose the 50 pounds gained for his plump role in Oliver Stone's Alexander (2004) in order to play his fit GQ character for this film. more
Goofs:
Plot holes: Near the beginning of the film, Perry claims to know Harmony since she has done some work for him. Later in the film when she finds her sister has charged her credit card to 'Sentron' she claims to have no knowledge that this is Perry's company. (This might be considered a plot hole, however, early in the movie, at the Christmas party, Harry's narration mentioned that Perry had recently incorporated. So it could be the new name was instituted after Harmony had worked for him.) more
Quotes:
Perry: Harmony was right, her sister was murdered. You pulled the trigger. It just took this long for the bullet to hit. more

You're gonna love this..., 13 August 2005
9/10
Author: KyleReese from Cologne, Germany

KKBB was shown at the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany. This festival for horror, sci-fi and thrillers is touring Germany in several big cities. KKBB was the opening movie in Cologne and it got a feverish applause after wards.

I can only say that this movie is one of the biggest surprises in the Action/Thriller/Comedy-Genre in the last years. If you liked Black's scripts for Last Boy Scout, Long Kiss Goodnight, Lethal Weapon etc. for their tongue in cheek humor, wicked dialogues and sick ideas, you're gonna love this movie.

The cast delivers and gets the movie going. I don't want to spoil it for you, but Black still has some very cool one-liners and dialogue. Downey Jr is really amazing in this role as your typical looser-criminal kind of guy.

The film struggles a bit at the end, but it was so much fun to watch nonetheless. The Teaser Trailer came out today, so you might want to watch that. Luckily doesn't already show you the best parts.

I really hope that this movie attracts a big audience, because Black has definitely written and directed a highly entertaining movie, showing you Hollywood behind the scenes. Watch this movie!
