People like the shooter are cowards, so when he saw Riggs' bravery (although he wanted to get killed), he panicked. Can't believe they cut this scene out.
Mel was born in 1956. So he would have been in country in 74-5 as an eighteen-year old--after the major American drawdown in 73. Fairly sure Mel's father Hutton moved the family to Australia partly so Mel could avoid being drafted. That said, Australia was in the war as well. Often in his early career Gibson played characters older than he actually was.
They just realised its too unrealistic: a sniper would shoot ten shots and miss all and one with a pistol first shot -- sniper down. The audience grown out from this
@@calvingreene90 Yeah he has depression from his lost wife and is suicidal. And probably some ptsd on the side and a "military mode" that kicks in from his black ops days. He was some Vietnam sniper special ops guy. Murtaugh was also a nam vet.
This scene was deleted from the movie. I have the original directors cut on dvd with scene in it. This was a intense scene. Gibson was a legend in the lethal weapon movies.
This was a great scene which Richard Donner should never have removed from the theatrical cut because it shows that Riggs no longer cares about dying, but he still cares about protecting others. Knowing the other guy is a poor shot, he calmly gets a read on the guy's position and then takes him out. In the director's cut, it makes it even clearer that he walks out there because he knows kids are in danger. Glad they restored it to the film.
He didn't know he was a poor shot, he tried to die in the line of duty (but realy just commit suicide by stranger). That's how deep he was at that point.
@@MPostma72 That’s not entirely true. If you watch the full scene he asks another cop how good a shot this guy is and finds out that he’s shooting erratically.
This is one of my most favorite movies. I love the 80s... An awesome era, for movies, culture, music, actors people... A different time... A better time... Wish I could go back to that time... Movies were made with so much more fury, love, heart... 100% the best
Yeah, but it’s still a really bad scene. The guy is just literally unbelievably Inaccurate. The only saving grace is the intensity that Mel brings. But yeah, awful looks like something taken out of Cobra.
Great movie, great actors. Another 80's classic! Trivia Fact: The Beretta 92 that Mel Gibson carries in this film is the same one used by Bruce Willis in Die Hard.
@@michaelklein3112 Same piece. It's currently on display at the Natl. Firearms Museum at NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, VA. alongside a few of Josie Wales Walker Colts and other movie-famous pieces. There was just an article in American Rifleman Magazine about the "Guns of Hollywood" display, that's where I found out. I thought that was cool as hell, and wanted to share it with other gun/movie geeks. Those 2 movies are iconic , and probably accounted for the 92's popularity and sales. I know Die Hard did the same for the HK MP5; *EVERYBODY* wanted one of those, but those are practically unobtainable.
Riggs was already on edge after losing his wife and saw the highest risk work as a way to hopefully let it eventually get the better of him. He originally was hoping the sniper would get him, but realized he was a lousy shot from the start. Then he taunted him for a showdown, just to take him down.
The Action movies of the 80's were another level undisputedly. They are unmatched and unbeatable yet today. Pure action pure acting skills pure emotion.
The Beretta 92F was in many 80s/90s movies, as it had recently replaced the .45 ACP in the US military. It looked sleek and sexy on screen. I believe it was a John McClain weapon in Die Hard as well. I counted 21 rounds. It should be 15 with one in the chamber unless he had an extended magazine. That is quite a distance for a pistol shot. Personally, I prefer Mel in a leather jacket with sawed off shotgun.
Why was this scene removed? It further demonstrates his suicidal ideation due to the murder of his wife and how much of a courageous badass he was! Oh and thank you for putting him on my screen. No better looking man in Hollywood.
All Lethal weapon in movies are brilliant from 1 to 4 if you haven't seen them please watch them you don't know what you missing and all 4 films don't disappoint and are some of my favourite films ever
@@michaelkatz7862 Well, would you call the thousands of soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy "suicidal"? Sometimes courage under fire ranks above making it home every day from work. Sometimes pushing through to make sure the right thing is protected regardless of personal danger is the more important thing. If cops want to risk nothing, why don't they become dentists instead?
@@michaelkatz7862No, they just had grown men that fantasize about being the punisher but then let kids die when they are in any actual risk. Almost seems like we have a force of delusional man children and that day we saw it.
On top of that, since the psycho go to cover to reload and returned, he must take extra time to aim. On this scene we all see he did not have this luxury. Meanwhile while stay still he has time for aimming and land a headshot.
I'm close to that number an I'm too dang old for most stuff. I've had one too many injuries than my body cares to have. Done stuff I shouldn't like run on a sprained ankle. My friend has told me it's a wonder I'm still above ground, still trying to do what I do.
They needed a big city pd who trains on situations like that, not 4 or 5 policemen who probably never fired their weapon . Others showed up and still didn't get done because of communication. Most people don't realize that policemen are still just like them and small cities don't have the money or personal to train to take on situations like that.
@@richardlong9189 They need a sheriff that is not a gun control advocate and a culture of protecting the innocent is more important than your own safety.

@@brianknapp6215 I wouldn't necessarily agree with that the scene shows Riggs state of mind quite well and I don't think you can call killing someone who's just shot a load of kids unsympathetic it shows his nonsense approach to policing very 80s very time appropriate, just my opinion but it's fun to think about
True True,, Riverview know how to aim or handle yourselves in situations like that. Play the greater good keeping in the world we live in today what's a full-time job in itself. On a reality ✅ got to love those old school flicks!! Thanks for sharing!
Arguably one of the best deleted scenes ever. It shows you the exact reason why Riggs is a "lethal weapon," and it's right in the beginning of the movie. He truly has nothing to live for, his wife is gone, the war is over, he has no purpose, nothing to lose. That's why he just stands there when the sniper shoots at him, that day was as good as any to die. But even back then, a school shooter scene was hardcore, so the director's cut DVD is vital if you love this movie. I love the last line, "Still here asshole, or do you only do kids?!"
Before anybody talks about him pulling the hammer down on a semi auto pistol, that was a thing you could do, especially if you knew a round was already chambered. In fact, a lot of automatic pistols are actually double action for the same reason. It also helps with light strikes, meaning the firing pin didn't impact the primer hard enough to ignite it.
Missed the movie in the theater and only ever owned the Director’s Cut DVD. I never knew this wasn’t in the original cut. It just made sense every time I watched it. It helped flesh out Riggs’ character better.
Hal Moore.... to a tee!! And let's not forget his directing....little bit of Mel in every scene. Goes to show...men of God can and do make it to the apex. God Bless him because he has most surely blessed us.

"Why did you shoot him fifteen times?"
"Cause that's all the bullets I had!"
"I wanted to make sure. Now Im sure."
Me: "It was the worst case if suicide I ever did see!"
Kids of gen-z won't be able to understand Machoism.. One of my fav action stars
And this why i have lethal weapon.mp4 on every device, even my quest 2, riggs is just MWAH
Missed the movie in the theater and only ever owned the Director’s Cut DVD. I never knew this wasn’t in the original cut. It just made sense every time I watched it. It helped flesh out Riggs’ character better.
Riggs, will always be his best role
Roadwarrior series was pretty good-> "That's not the goose"
It was Braveheart, for me.
Hal Moore.... to a tee!!
And let's not forget his directing....little bit of Mel in every scene.
Goes to show...men of God can and do make it to the apex.
God Bless him because he has most surely blessed us.
Thank goodness the script called for all the bullets to narrowly miss. And that, somehow, Mel knew! It's like he read it...
Sometimes it takes a broken individual to tame a broken individual ❤
Back then that Barretta 92FS was the favourite movie gun! Still mine because it's an absolute unit
i have a beretta 92fs and stand by it for its accuracy. lol this scene showcased it pretty well
Well, the Barretta AND the Desert Eagle.
I mean, the Deagle (as we call it) is in a class by itself.
Mel played Riggs so well the level of mentality an crazy to walk out while this guy sniping people an not flinch lethal weapon was a classic
That was a 20 round CLIP and he let that creep have it...... YOU'RE TERMINATED
Problem is that gun can only hold 16 shots max (15 round mag+1 in the chamber)
20 round MAGAZINE, not clip.
Best movies, best actors... I miss them....
Lethal Weapon is one of my favorite series. ALL 4 FILMS, thank god I ain't gettin too old for this shit
if god real
@@musicland2024-gq2pb lmao true. If he is, he ain't done nothing but get in my way.
