"Moody, Fast And Violent! Years Ahead Of Its Time!" -Leonard Maltin
A brilliant film noir classic based on Mickey Spillane's bestseller, Kiss Me Deadly is masterfully directed by Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen) and hailed as "one of his best" (Leonard Maltin).This DVD edition of Kiss Me Deadly features the fully restored original ending - which contains over one minute of crucial footage that clarifies decades of false interpretations.In order to illustrate the vastly different impressions left by each version, the altered/shortened ending has been included as well.
When callous thugs beat Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) senseless and viciously murder the gorgeous blonde he's been trying to help, the hard-boiled detective retaliates the only way he can: by hitting first and asking questions later.Cutting a brutal swath through the city's sleazy underside, Hammer uncovers a mysterious black container whose deadly contents not only solve the murder… but trigger an apocalyptic climax as well!
