The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

The White House may also be relieved to talk less about the war on drugs. In their own fight against Mexican cartels, U.S. agents watched thousands of guns get trafficked to gangsters in an attempt to build larger cases, causing the so-called "Fast and Furious" scandal. It is also hard for Washington to be gung-ho on the international drug war after Colorado and Washington state legalized marijuana in referendums last year — in contravention of U.N. treaties.

On the other side, some critics allege the Mexican president is failing to confront grave problems facing his country. "Since Enrique Pena Nieto came to power, he has created propaganda that tries to cover up and hide the violence," wrote Raul Benoit, a prominent journalist on Latin American crime, who was once kidnapped by Colombian cocaine baron Pablo Escobar. When the PRI ruled Mexico for 71 straight years, high level officials were arrested for working with gangsters and some fear such arrangements could come back into play — although the new administration promises to weed out any corruption.
For Marvel to choose Black as director and co-writer of an Iron Man movie might seem its own reckless, perhaps hopeless, gesture of rehabilitation. But he too was a fan of the series, telling the Scotsman, "I've been reading Iron Man since I bought my first issue in 1966 as a 4-year-old kid."
An early Black script, for 1987′s The Monster Squad, had assembled a platoon of venerable Universal fright gods (Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, Frankenstein's monster, the Creature from the Black Lagoon) in a kind of premature Avengers. And when Downey, now the most important actor in the Marvel galaxy, puts in a good word for his old friend, people listen.
Obliged by the PG-13 rating to mute the splenetic cussing that was a glory point of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ("To all you good people in the Midwest," Downey says as the end credits roll, "sorry we said f— so much"), Black still shoehorned some of his favorite tropes into IM3.

Like Last Action Hero, it brings an iconic character into contact with a "real" boy who idolizes him. Following Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero, The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the new movie is set at Christmastime. IM3 could even be seen as Black's reworking of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with Tony as Scrooge, Maya (a former Stark girlfriend), Killian and the Mandarin as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, and Harley as Tiny Tim. The best Christmas present for the Stark Scrooge: at the end he gets a heart.
