The film was a turning point in her acting career as she got her first major role and acted opposite the likes of Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. Monaghan recently spoke about her working experience with Cruise and Downey Jr. in a candid interview with Looper.

The actress gushed about Downey, saying her role in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang boosted her acting career. She also learned a great deal while acting opposite such big stars.

Monaghan shared how Downey taught her to do improvisations in many scenes of the film. She feels it has been the most memorable experience for her, for which she will always be grateful.
