      Gary Bussey is such a great actor in his day. If you really like him, he actually plays a 'good guy' role (albeit still a little crazy - which is what he does best) for a change in a stand out movie (read: tear jerker) called "BIG WEDNESDAY". It stars Jan Michael Vincent, Gary Bussey, William Katt, Patti D'Arbanville, and Lee Purcell. All excellent actors. Such a great feel movie.

    Glad to see you starting your Lethal Weapon journey. I love these movies. Richard Donner directed all four films. I love watching his movies: The Goonies, Superman, The Omen(1976), Scrooged and Timeline, to name a few. Shane Black wrote for all four films as well. Another movie he worked on as a writer was The Monster Squad from 1986. I love the characters of Riggs and Roger in these movies. I also love the bond that develops between them. Looking forward to your reaction to Lethal Weapon 2, which is my favorite from the franchise. I was 16 when the first film came out and instantly loved it.

    The shot of her on the car after falling in the opening, mimics a real suicide that happened, where a woman jumped to death and landed on the roof of a car. The picture is amazing because she looks like she’s sleeping peacefully with like no visible injuries to her while the car around her is destroyed. It’s a tragically beautiful picture.

      Also "Running Scared" w/ Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. It didn't make a huge impact, but it came out the year before LW. Really it can go all the way back to 1949 with Kurosawa's "Stray Dog" with several more buddy cop films in the 60s and 70s. Lethal Weapon, however, perfected it. What I didn't get was the scene with Murtaugh mistaking RIggs for a gunman followed by the "That's so 80s" remark. I can't pin down why that would be peculiar to the 1980s.

      @@xavvi This is the benefit of actually living through it….NONE of those were comedic buddy comedy/action movies. 48 hrs main praise during its release (I saw it in theaters) was how groundbreaking it was …also there are far more films that emulated LW and its tropes than something like In the heat of the night which was far more a drama/detective story than action ride.

    I worked on a tv show in which we shot part of an episode at Shane Black’s house (i imagine it’s just “one” of his houses). We didn’t have access to the entire house but we shot mostly in the “Ball Room”. Yes he has a Ball Room. The Ball Room was attached to the house and massive. It is 20-30x the size of my entire apartment. The ceilings were like 30 feet high, and it was about 150ft by 75ft in length and width. It was the perfect size for a decent size house party or screening. I didn’t see much of the rest of the interior but the property itself is impressive. I think they said the oil Barron from There will be Blood owned a lot of the land in this gated community at one point. Guess he deserves it though, Shane has some legendary screenwriting credits under his belt. 80’s and 90’s gold.

      @@Justin0807 I don't think I've seen Silva in any other movies, but I remember him popping up in old tv shows, Hitchcock, Untouchables, Twilight Zone, etc.. I have Davis' first movie on DVD (also filmed in Chicago) called "Stony Island" (a main street that runs through what is now a ghetto). He cast his brother and his dad in roles, also young Dennis Franz, Rae Dawn Chong and Susanna Hoffs (of the Bangles).

    Good film and so is 2,3&4 Btw my fav. Gary B. Film is Rough Riders, historical and he plays Senator/General Wheeler who went to Cuba with other officers including a just resigned under Secretary of the Navy to join the army as a lieutenant colonel Theodore Roosevelt.

    General Peter McAllister was played by Mitchell Ryan.
    139 acting credits.
    You felt like he'd been in a TV show.
    He did 119 episodes of Dharma & Greg.
    36 episodes of Santa Barbara.
    107 episodes of Dark Shadows in the 1960s if your watching habits go back that far.
    The rest is pretty small stuff, though he was also in many movies.

    31:00 "What's the age difference between them? Are they allowed to hook up?
    Mel Gibson is four years older than Traci Wolfe, and she was 27 when this movie came out, so yeah, they're allowed.
    But wait!
    Rianne's age is not given, but she's still in high school so probably 17 or 18.
    Riggs is supposed to be 38.
    That's a pretty big age gap, but I guess if she's 18 they could give it a shot.
    But wait!
    Riggs and Roger are partners.
    Never sh!t where you eat.
    The dumbest, crudest, most classless thing Riggs could do would be to lay a finger on his partner's kids, regardless of whether they're old enough for consent.
    That amount of disrespect would be unforgivable.
    Plenty of fish in the sea for both of them, no need to FA and FO.

    I'm thinking that describing older movies like this as formulaic and predictable comes from a recent bias. Comparing this and other 80"s action films to previous films from 70's and earlier, are they still formulaic and predictable?

    I'm sure others have said it, but this ain't formula: this pretty much STARTED the formula. Before you had things like 48 Hrs, and Starsky and Hutch on TV, but this was a whole other level. Plus, the main magic of these films is the chemistry. The chemistry between all the series regulars is incredible, but Gibson and Glover are easily one of the best cinematic double acts of all time.

  • @OmnificentAspirations

    Around 20:55 she makes a very good point, and maybe I just say that because I always think it. Them thinking he is dead is not all that much of an advantage. She is talking about information control wise. I usually point out tactically. So he is a top sniper. The police have other snipers in swat. They can wear ghillie suits or bury in the sand unlike he does and be closer the coerced meet up. And the police have plenty of other things to use. Their own helicopters.
    If this was an exclusive 2 vs many thinking one of the two is dead would be an advantage. But there are plenty of police and quantity with co-ordination and good equipment can make up for one eccentrically good cop. The advantage would make more sense if they were in an isolated town cut off from the rest of the world. Or maybe another planet. Or if Mel's character had powers.
    I'll probably get some nerd arguments against this. I won't bother getting into such a back and forth even though I am sure I can continue to back it up. I am just saying without more diving in. Believing he is dead is not a huge advantage in this way. She is right.

    You think it's cheesy because they raise in a way to think that....
    Today's action movies are Soulless, Empty ridiculous garbages totally superficial without heart and all you have to say about Lethal Weapon is that is cheesy and predictable....????
    Characters with flaws, passion, but at the same time with courage, honour, skills, compassion and the will to give their lives to save their partner, friends, family and all you have to say it's Cheesy...???....🤣 Predictable....???

    I saw this in the theater a couple of days after it released. On the big screen, it was intense. It's a shame that people watching in these won't have that experience - it makes a big difference.
    (PS: Coby's right about the crash mat basically coming out of nowhere. If you want, you can rationalize it after the fact, but we didn't really care because that's an epic scene.)

    Still subscribed, but reactions of serious scenes were treated as jokes.

    23:30 "There's water everywhere. It's kind of risky. When somebody gets the electric chair they wet the sponge to conduct the electricity better. But now there's water everywhere. I feel like the torturer guy could get electrocuted."
    Nope.
    First, you're right, that water is deliberate to help conduct the electricity into Riggs.
    Second, "electrocuted" means "killed by electricity".
    In fact, at least twice Mr. Joshua is pushing Riggs at the same time Endo zaps him and you see Joshua yank his hands back because he got "shocked", not "electrocuted".
    Yes, Endo might get shocked too.
    He is wearing elbow length rubber gloves to reduce that chance, but it could happen.
    Simply put, if it isn't killing Riggs and isn't killing Mr. Joshua, then it isn't likely to kill Endo.
    So why the wet sponge in the electric chair?
    Endo is using a car battery.
    Electric chars use a lot more juice. A helluva lot more.
    That makes all the difference.
