    It's a crime that this didn't become a buddy cop trilogy. It could have spanned the rest of the 70's and then into the 80's, I thought the same as you just before you said "please tell me a sequel of this came out or is being worked on."

      It kind of 'writers its self' in many ways given the social changes in that period give plenty of material to work with and you've got room to grow the characters [with Holly growing up etc].

    As others have pointed out, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is similar in tone and style to this movie, written and directed by the same guy, Shane Black. Then you have the OG Buddy Cop movies in Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 and 4, written but not directed by Shane Black, and then The Last Boyscout, once again written by Shane Black.
    They all share a vein of similarly quick witted and dry humor, but Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the one that most resembles The Nice Guys. They're all very entertaining movies however and I recommend you give them a try if you haven't already.

    Yeah, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang feels very much like a trial run for The Nice Guys, it's a similar setup; Neo-Noir Buddy Comedy with a screwup teaming up with a more serious-minded tough guy and it's also set in LA, though it was then modern day LA (mid 2000s) and the mystery is a bit more straightforward. It's still very funny with the same kind of humour you liked from The Nice Guys. 🙂

    The Big Short - Gosling is great but it's just an awesome movie
    Midnight Run - Great mid 80's buddy cop flick starring Deniro and Charles Grodin.

    They didn't make a sequel - this movie didn't do that well at the box office and is criminally underrated. However, there is another movie that you must watch since it is clear that you love this one - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It is written by Shane Black, the same guy who wrote this and some other great movies you should check out if you haven't already, including The Long Kiss Goodnight and Predator (he even starred as one of Arnold's men in Predator also).
    Anyway, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is another buddy-cop type movie (though neither of the main characters are are cops) that is full-on hilarious just like The Nice Guys. These two movies together are some of the funniest things on film in my opinion - much funnier than most strictly comedy films - right up there with other hilarious movies that aren't strictly comedies like the Coen Brothers' movie Raising Arizona (which is in my top 10 movies of all time and one of my three all time favorite comedies. The Coen Brothers have made some of the funniest films ever in my opinion, and I feel like Shane Black is like a brother from another mother to them so to speak.)
    Anyway definitely check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and also check out The Long Kiss Goodnight - which is yet another buddy cop type movie that rules. It's not as funny as The Nice Guys or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but it is still a super cool and sometimes funny movie that I'm sure you would really like.
