Shane Black should be a household name.

one must assume he approved of the final script
I'm sure he did. He also received sole writing credit and was paid big money for his original script. Having seen Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang etc., makes me feel sure a lot of that priceless dialogue in the film is still his. -

Well, get ready, because Shane Black will be directing
Iron Man 3
! Can't get much more big-time than that
Also, no mention of
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
in this thread, the best movie Black has directed??

I heard about Iron Man 3, which I hope will bring him more recognition. I believe Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the only film Black has directed so far but you're right, I should have mentioned it because it's awesome and criminally underrated.

Yeah, I dunno why he never made it bigger. He fizzled a bit in the late 90s. I don't remember Boyscout all that much, but agree on every other comment.

I was listening to a screenwriting webinar a couple of days ago. The lecturer, who is an experienced film writer and public relations agent with her own, very successful shop, was talking about Shane Black. When I had a chance to comment, I mentioned "The Long Kiss Goodnight". She replied that, when she was taking a screenwriting course at UCLA, the instructor spent an entire class on the first 10 pages of "The Long Kiss Goodnight". This movie is STILL my all-time favorite action film, and I pity those who do not appreciate the intricacies in the psychological aspects. This movie is all about "maleness" vs. "femaleness," while presenting a very exciting storyline. I rate this movie a "10".
