Word comes that Shane Black will be taking over the IRON MAN franchise. Black first gained attention as a screenwriter for LETHAL WEAPON 1 & 2. He later made his directorial debut with KISS KISS BANG BANG, which featured IRON MAN star Robert Downey Jr.

In KKBB, Robert plays Harry, a thief that pretends to be an actor, only to actually get the role. He is teamed up with real-life Private Investigator Gay Perry (Val Kilmer).

In this scene, Harry is trying to get a thug to tell him where Harmony (Michelle Monaghan), a childhood friend, has been taken.

Harry (Robert Downey Jr): Well what I’m doing for the guy who likes to bluff is I’m playing a little game called “Am I Bluffing?”
[Loads one round into the revolver to play Russian Roulette]
Harry: Where is she? Where the fuck is Harmony? You want to play hardball? I can do that.
[Spins the chamber and points the gun]
Harry: Where is the girl?
[Shoots the guy in the head]
Perry (Val Kilmer): [Stuttering at first] What did you just do?
Harry: [Confused] I just put in one bullet, didn’t I?
Perry: You put a live round in that gun?
Harry: Well yeah, there was like an 8% chance.
Perry: Eight? Who taught you math!
