Super under appreciated movie. RDJ and Val are so good in this

I remember watching this and being so excited for RDJ’s comeback and to see what he’d do next. Wild that it turned into the MCU.

This is such an underrated, amazing movie. The chemistry between Robert and Val is so fun.

That whole “who taught you math?” bit is peak Shane Black: viciously funny and somehow weirdly sweet. Makes me wish RDJ and Val had done a whole buddy-cop trilogy together.

rdj – “a picture of me?’

Val Kilmer in this movie is maybe the coolest guy to ever exist.

This is why I’m not that mad about RDJ winning for Oppenheimer; he deserved something for ripping this and A Scanner Darkly off back to back.

Val Kilmer is so good in this….banger of a film

Great scene, but this isn’t even one of the best in the film.
The corpse phone conversation has me laughing every time.

The film that got Robert Downey Jr the Iron Man role.

Eight? Who taught you math!
The chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer is lightning in a bottle. Shane Black’s writing at its best.

There’s a moment in the blooper reel which involves this scene. It’s right after RDJ hits the fake orderly in the face. The orderly curses “FUCK” as he holds his face and starts walking. Kilmer quickly adlibs “That’s what they’re gonna do you in prison!”

“Anyways that’s ambiguous”

that scene is such a classic example of black’s sharp dialogue and quirky tone. it really sets the mood for the whole film.

One of my favorite movies of all time.
