ABOUT THE FILMS:
LETHAL WEAPON, 1987, Dir. Richard Donner, 117 Min, Warner Bros., USA
Mel Gibson stars as a one-man killing machine, a Los Angeles policeman who recently lost his wife and has been acting increasingly unstable. Danny Glover plays a by-the-book homicide detective with an impeccable record and a loving family. Now the two are stuck with each other as partners, investigating a suicide that leads to an international crime ring and ever-increasing danger in this blockbuster action thriller.
FORMAT: DCP
THE LAST BOY SCOUT, 1991, Dir. Tony Scott, 105 Min, Warner Bros., USA
Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Bruce Willis (16 Blocks, Last Man Standing) and Emmy-nominee Damon Wayans (TV’s In Living Color) team up as an ex-secret service agent and a former pro football hero who uncover a web of intrigue and corruption in professional sports when they team up to investigate the murder of the football player’s stripper girlfriend.
FORMAT: 35mm
KISS KISS BANG BANG, 2005, Dir. Shane Black, 103 Min, Warner Bros., USA
From producer Joel Silver and screenwriter Shane Black, both of LETHAL WEAPON fame comes an action-comedy spoof of rough-and-tumble buddy films–KISS KISS BANG BANG. A private detective (Val Kilmer), a thief posing as a struggling actor (Robert Downey Jr.) and an actual struggling actress (Michelle Monaghan) become entangled in a murder mystery filled with twists, turns, betrayal and, most importantly, romance.
FORMAT: DCP
THE NICE GUYS, 2016, Dir. Shane Black, 116 Min, Warner Bros., USA
Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe team up to investigate the case of a missing girl in this thriller co-written and directed by Shane Black. After becoming involved with the Mob, Amelia (Margaret Qualley) mysteriously disappears. Enforcer Jackson Healy (Crowe) and down-on-his-luck private investigator Holland March (Gosling) are recruited to find her and set out on a complex and high-profile investigation which leads them all over 1970s Los Angeles. With media interest increasing and their own personal safety called into doubt, the duo come across the seemingly unconnected death of a porn star, a discovery which sheds new light on a conspiracy that leads right to the highest echelons of power.
