• in addition to its genre and screenwriter, kiss of death has a few more connections to sea of love: samuel l. jackson appeared in the earlier film in the tiny role of “black guy, ” while paul calderon has a supporting role in each film, though for some reason he goes uncredited here. trevor jones, who composed sea of love ‘s soundtrack, apparently worked on kiss of death ‘s “orchestrations. ”

currently watching some films i' ve either bought, rented, or had on my computer for a while and never watched them. the twelfth one: kiss of death
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
kiss of death, based on the renowned 1947 film noir of the same name, marks the point at which hollywood started to get lazy in its use of richard price: this, the industry seems to have decided, is the guy who writes remakes of old crime movies. so while sea of love and mad dog and glory used some elements of film noir storytelling to deliver original stories that addressed themes price was interested in, kiss of death (which follows in the footsteps of the night and the city remake) feels more like the for - hire job it is, with little evidence that price ever held it particularly close to his heart .
when i' m watching a movie as complex as
kiss of death ,
i look forward to the ending, since the filmmakers have to somehow tie together all the loose ends. the climax of
kiss of death ,
set in baby cakes, is so ludicrous it could be comedy, with characters arriving, leaving and being killed or saved according to an elaborate plot - driven timetable. those who remember the original
kiss of death
will be waiting for somebody to push a wheelchair down the stairs, but in a plot like this, that would be wretched excess .

. with this run of the mill crime film from 1995 he lets nicolas cage off the leash as a crazed local crime boss with david caruso in his headlights. loosely based on henry hathaway' s 1947 film of the same name, this has csi miami' s favorite ginger in a spot of bother after a foiled car robbery. keeping his mouth shut to avoid further trouble, he is sent to jail amid family turmoil. the death of his wife (a very short turn for oscar winner helen hunt) and the threat of losing his daughter results in him being coerced by authorities…
a whole host of great actors that were so much younger and greener in 1995. david caruso plays an excellent part as a informant to a distrait attorney, and who he is informing on is a tough little junior brown (nicolas cage, mean while he' s putting up with the cop who was shot in a prior crime samuel l jackson, plenty of action and very well written for a 1995 movie that is worth watching more then once. 4 1 / 2 stars
then, with a triumphant grin on his face, he fell backwards into the blazing inferno to his death .
forget the other well known actors in this film, this is a david curuso film, with the smaller parts being played by others. curuso himself plays quite a good role, unfortunately i think nick cage ruined this film, his attempt at playing the pshycho, was less than believable and he just looked like a corny action star .
cage, one of the few american actors who gets more interesting from film to film, comes close to kidnaping the picture as little junior, a pumped - up but asthmatic thug who, like king kong, is a gorilla with a wistful air about him .

the conflict in
kiss of death
is triangular, involving not only jimmy against the mob, but also the law vs. the mob, with jimmy in the middle. he has a lot of trouble with an unforgiving cop (samuel l. jackson), and with a district attorney (stanley tucci), whose word is meaningless .
richard iii (ian mckellan) died a fiery death in the film' s conclusion, located in an abandoned industrial site, in the ruins of the battersea power station. he refused to be captured when cornered, and told his rival henry, earl of richmond (dominic west) as he lifted his right gloved hand as if to wave :
director terry gilliam' s science fiction film featured plot twists, time - travel, and unusual efforts to thwart a devastating plague .
4 — there are 4 car - carrying truck things involved in the car stealing crime at the start of the film. there’s loads of lights on them like they’re the coca cola truck, which seems like a bad idea .
classy film noir, as you would expect from a team including director barbet schroeder, writer richard price, and nicolas cage ...
this modernistic british adaptation of the shakespearean play was set in a fictional, fascistic britain some time in the late 1930s. (see also laurence olivier' s original british version of the film, richard iii (1955) ) .
according to the third film, sil is also disease - free, possibly boasting an immune system that is superior to a human' s .
as was the case with mad dog and glory, the film falters a bit in its climactic final showdown. the original kiss of death went out with a suspense sequence that was small in scale but grippingly tense, while the equivalent scene here has more action yet doesn’t feel as satisfying (or make as much narrative sense). that aside, though, this is a smartly made thriller that’s engaging throughout even if it doesn’t offer anything particularly new. and, again, it’s got nic cage acting crazy, and that’s always fun .
she possesses two sets of teeth with the internal set being razor sharp. her tongue is tipped with sharp spines or barbs and is her primary defense mechanism (or weapon) when with a potential mate. when threatened, she can impale her aggressor with her tongue, usually during kissing, by inserting her tongue into the victim' s mouth from within which she can stab into the victim' s skull or out the back of their head, resulting in her infamous
kiss of death
.
although a primary character in the first film, sil still has some influence in the later films, as she is mentioned in the second and third films .
and while kiss of death ’s story is obviously pretty dark, little junior isn’t the only character who benefits from the off - beat humor in price’s script: there’s also the gangster who hates the color red but refuses to have a red car repainted because “it’d still be red under the paint, ” or the thug who insists on hanging around to watch a burning car explode: “i always get such a kick out of that. it’s the kid in me. ”
kiss of death is fine little thriller — not mind - blowingly original, occasionally hokey, but mainly well told and entirely well cast. you’d have to be asleep not to see the final twist coming a mile off, but by that point you’re rooting hard enough for poor old jimmy to have something go right for a change that it doesn’t really matter. would watch again if found while channel surfing at 1am .
when max set up lenny to take the fall for various murders (the murder of gant and iris), the two fought to the death in the hotel room and onto its balcony, high above the revelers .
there is plot and more plot in
kiss of death .
by the time it' s over you may wish you had taken notes, to keep track of who is doing what, and with which, and to whom. a lot of the scheming centers around little junior brown, the nicholas cage character. the first time we see junior, he' s bench - pressing a stripper in his father' s topless bar, called baby cakes. this is the kind of
gentleman' s club
where you wonder why any of the customers ever come back again, since if they look sideways at anyone they get pounded by junior .
[ note: in shakespeare' s play, the line located in act v, scene 3, was delivered before battle, not immediately before richard' s death. ]
max precariously hung onto lenny' s tie until lenny cut off the tie with the knife stuck in his back - sending max hurtling to his death on the street below .
wow i cannot believe it has almost been 20 years since i saw this movie. this was supposed to be the movie that was going to make david caruso a superstar. caruso had been a supporting actor (hudson hawk and maddog and glory)... . when he hit it big with the tv show nypd blue. he left the show after only one year to concentrate on movies... ... like kiss of death .
sil also possesses the ability to rapidly regenerate from any injury, from a broken scapula to a missing limb. however, she appears incapable of regeneration if her body is destroyed beyond the capacity for regeneration, such as being burned to death .
20 — at the film’s climax, jimmy tells his police detective mate to meet him at the strip club in 20 minutes. in quite a ropey bit of tension - building the detective then gets held up in traffic caused by a car accident .
the film' s backstory was that the public revelation of the covered - up murder of 27 year - old outspoken militant black rapper jeriko one (glen plummer) (not due to gangbanger - related violence as originally blamed) would ignite a catastrophic race riot, if the truth came out. it was revealed that there had been a
hard - line
death - squad conspiracy - two rogue la cops (
two loose - cannon cops
) had killed him in cold blood .
apparently medium makes it quite hard to find previous instalments of this so i have made a sort of index thing, here .
the two things kiss of death has going for it are an enjoyably twisty - turny plot and a great cast. jimmy becomes an informer: but really he’s using the police to play the bad guys off against each other. the district attorney who cuts him the deal (stanley tucci) is more interested in getting promoted to judge than actually getting a conviction. the police detective (samuel l jackson) blames jimmy for the unusual injury to his face that means he literally can’t stop crying. not even all of the crooks are exactly what they seem .
5 — big junior, little junior’s dad, has just 5% of his lung capacity left when he carks it. asthma is actually a relatively important plot point in this film, at least compared to how important a plot point it is in most films .
the stacked supporting cast–which includes helen hunt, kathryn erbe, michael rapaport, stanley tucci, ving rhames and philip baker hall–has a lot of fun with this stuff, while caruso functions as the movie’s icy, (mostly) humorless core, proving that at least some good came of his widely criticized decision to quit nypd blue for a career in film .
her breasts, rather than storing fat or mammary glands like a human female' s, instead store additional prehensile tentacles which can emerge from her
nipples
. she can use her breast - tentacles as weapons (wrapping one around her victim while the other penetrates their mouth and chokes / stabs them to death) but they can also be used in her species' mating rituals (as shown in the second film) .
i was very impressed with how well this film was made. nicolas cage is fucking buffed out crazy too, like seriously. i' m jealous. huge arms, massive neck. biceps were bigger than mine .
sure, he' s the good guy, which is a disadvantage in this movie, but he should project more of a sense of menace .
it ain’t the best and it ain’t the worst. honestly, it was fun to revisit kiss of death as i hadn’t seen it since the theater with my old man (which always makes me smile to reminisce). caruso’s actually kinda likeable in this, though not as strong a lead as he tends to project, and nic cage, before the oscar win, is doing his crazy thing and steals the picture — his b. a. d. speech is great and i remember my dad and i saying it to each other for a while after the movie came out .
although suzanne was brought to trial and there was taped evidence of a confession, she walked free when police were accused of wire - tapping and entrapment .
the animatronic puppet used in the film had a fully articulated head that could turn, tilt, jaw opens and like all good nasty aliens she has two sets of teeth to better rip your face off with. a remote control was rigged to control her two sets of eye lids, eye direction and mouth. her hair / tentacles could be manipulated in nearly any direction via a wire control .
sil kills a potential mate by forcing one of the tentacles into his mouth .
the wily, long - haired, and menacing ex - cop had betrayed lenny. max was the main villain behind the film' s many murders. he quipped :
the world' s gonna end in ten minutes, anyway .
sil' s son is the only child of sil with dr. stephen arden .
sil, in her alien form, is voiced by frank welker, who' s been known to voice other characters in his career, such as megatron and several of the transformers of transformers, scooby - doo in all of his incarnations, etc .
remember when david caruso thought he was the next al pacino? he won an emmy for his role in nypd blue and left to be pacino on the big screen. his intense faces are hilarious throughout the whole film. i mean, he' s good in small doses like in king of ny, mad dog and glory even in proof of life but he can' t carry a film alone. here he plays an ex criminal trying to go straight but gets sucked back in thanks to his scumbag cousin and put in direct conflict with a psychotic gangster' s son. cage is fun to watch as little junior brown, i mean he' s the whole reason to watch this shit. even sam jackson…

when the team celebrates their apparent victory of the death of sil (in fact, sil is still alive), sil stalks them in their hotel. sil takes an attraction to preston lennox. following dr. baker and lennox to their room, sil eavesdrops on their lovemaking and becomes aroused. when stephen walks in on her eavesdropping, she immediately undresses in order to seduce him into sex. sil succeeds in seducing him and they copulate, successfully inseminating and impregnating her. sil kills stephen shortly after he does indeed feel something in sil' s womb and recognizes who she is .
the biggest performance of them all comes from cage — superbly ridiculous as little junior, the head of this particular gang of crooks, a psychotically macho figure who lives his life by three words: balls, attitude, direction. it is a very, very broad performance but it works because he becomes terrifyingly capable of anything. there’s no such thing as ‘too far’ for the character, so ditto the performance. little junior is a big horrible baby, murdering and mutilating on a whim .

little junior is probably the most memorable part of the film, as it’s a quintessential insane nic cage performance; if you’ve spent hours watching the wicker man clips on youtube, this is a movie you should check out. the role was famously originated by richard widmark, who played it as a giggling sadist, and this version takes a different but equally attention - grabbing approach: cage’s little junior is brutally violent but also wistful and sensitive in a twisted, moronic way. so basically he just does and says a bunch of weird shit, from bench - pressing strippers to talking about how he can’t stand the taste of metal (“gotta use plastic forks and spoons all the time”) to mourning his father by weeping while jumping up and down at a strip club, then punching out a guy who bumps into him and yelling “my father died! ”

while initially meeting random guy, he is quickly
taken
by another woman. adopting the woman' s policy of
whatever it takes
, sil kills the woman by ripping out her spine while in the bathroom. adapting her clothing to match yet other woman in the club and manages to convince another man, robbie llywelyn, to take her to his house; watching and learning how to drive as he takes her. while on the verge of being seduced, she senses that robbie was a diabetic, rejects him and attempts to leave. however, he refuses her request and attempts to dominate her, resulting in her stabbing her tongue through the back of his head when he forces her to make out .
while capable of conceiving children in her pubic region like a typical human female, sil is shown to give birth via her chest cavity, which splits and opens to allow a fully - grown (or still - developing) infant to emerge from her .
the outline of the story stays pretty close to that of the 1947 original: jimmy (david caruso) is a former nyc car thief gone straight who gets harangued into one last job, only to end up as the one guy on that job who gets caught and sent to prison. upon his release, the prosecutor’s office and the cops (including samuel l. jackson as a detective who was non - fatally shot in the face during jimmy’s initial arrest) more or less force him to turn informant against little junior (nicolas cage), a psychotic local kingpin jimmy knows from back in the day. that endeavor of course doesn’t go according to plan, leaving jimmy caught between the law’s threat to his freedom and little junior’s threat to his and his family’s safety .
some critics felt that the character was too weird, that his inconsistency or lack of realism undermined the story. and i mean, i guess, but it’s all so entertaining that i’ve got to count the guy as an asset rather than a liability here .
caruso was nominated for a razzie, but this just goes to show that the razzie lot are a bag of spanners. his underplayed performance is exactly what the role requires — everyone he encounters is this big, mannered, creation, so he plays it small, is the quiet everyman .

a little of little junior brown goes a long way. the part has been overwritten by price, who gives junior so many traits that cage is run ragged keeping up with the weirdness. junior is a body - builder, and has severe asthma, and adores his father, and can' t stand the taste of metal in his mouth, and compresses his rules for living into
agonyms ,
which is how he says
acronyms .
he also likes to debate philosophy, although, in his business, when he asks ,
what' s worse? losing a wife, or a father ?
he isn' t dealing in abstractions .
