Fun reaction. Just wanted to offer the view that this film helped people understand the mental stress cops went through, kind of the way Rambo helped shine a light on the mental health of veterans (not just Vietnam veterans, though he was a soldier in Vietnam). I'd also like to offer the idea that mental health wasn't ignored or fluffed off in the 80s and 90s. It's just that people didn't blast their personal problems all over like they do now. The captain shrugged off the shrink because he's trying to protect Riggs, not because he doesn't believe her. There used to be hospitals for people with mental problems to go. But, I'm told that Regan changed some of the policies that ended up closing many of these facilities and that was the beginning of the mentally ill joining addicts in being homeless on the streets. I've admittedly not researched this. This is what someone who was around at the time told me. Looking forward to the other movies in this series
This movie had better art and music direction than most people give it credit for. In almost every scene at the start of the film, their costumes are opposites in color and tone, but still go together. Each one has a specific instrument (sax, guitar). It’s pretty committed to the opposites-that-mesh thing.
Younger generations seem to be confused on what a mullet is. Billy Ray Cirus in “Achy Vreaky Heart” had a mullet. Bono at Live Aid had a mullet. Mel Gibson doesn’t have a mullet. Take it from someone who grew up in the 80s. 👍😁😁
I always love when reactionists see older movies and say "it has all the tropes, but done well!" instead of "this is what started most of the tropes!" LOL
Note: when Glover said "ow" after the suicide jump, it was because the hammer hit his thumb. Brooks actually pulled the trigger with the gun to his head
The Lethal Weapon series is so good, I hope you keep watching them. Usually with a series like this, when you hit 4 movies it's just a bad cash grab at that point, but they're all so well done. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are so believable as friends and partners, they're so good together.
@3:00 when Riggs is buying the cocaine from drug dealer. The guy in the red flannel shirt is the real life Dad of Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The 80s and early 90s were definitely the era of the 'rogue' cop who did things outside the line to get the job done. This, of course, started with Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry in the 70s as inspiration for the genre. We see it in the Lethal Weapon Series, Die Hard and the action comedy Beverly Hills Cop to name a few.
Dirty Harry as inspiration for the genre. Is that an art imitates life sorta thing? Dunno if we had vigilantes or just dreamed of cleaner streets back then cuz I'm to young to know. From what people say there was porn in the theaters crime sprees on the streets and tons of serial killers back then. From old films set in NYC to current IRL bitching how bad NYC is getting. I wonder if city life in general is not as openly degen anymore? Is it chill during daylight but still more drug related? Do the freaks come out at night, for the pimp and player?
Another great buddy cop movie I fell in love with along with Lethal Weapon is Rush Hour, I recommend you check it out. Again that's Rush Hour with Jackie Chan, that is unless you've seen it already.
The overdubbed vocal lines in this series are legendary. The end fight reminds me of an old black and white, Popeye vs Bluto fight with all the chatter. Only thing missing is Olive Oyl saying 'Oh My' in the background.
Robin Williams as Popeye was the best casting ever. If you haven’t seen it, it’s totally worth it. Effects and set are not exactly cutting edge but a wonderful film, 1980s Popeye staring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall. They couldn’t have cast a more perfect Olive Oyl.
I just noticed this if you watch closely at the suicide jump scene Mel cuffs him and as they are jumping you can see a rubber band attaching them snaps and he reaches for his wrist to cover it. Naturally if you were really cuffed while jumping you could get hurt.
Great video guys. I subscribed. Unsure what films you do genre wise. An American Werewolf in London is a good horror film. Die Hard is an excellent action series. And The Golden Child is a good action comedy. Can't forget Beverly Hills Cop.
I've just watched this. I NEED you gentlemen to know: gary busy is the FATHER of one of the young assholes in starship troopers. I know you've covered both ...
I saw this movie in the theater and it stopped me from thinking about suicide for many years. I just found your channel and have been binging your videos. And subscribed, of course.
I've never noticed the handcuffs breakaway before the jump.

The whole franchise is strong, all four movies. But there are other strong buddy cops franchises too but with less films than Lethal Weapon. Other franchises are _48 Hours_ , _Bad Boys_ , _Rush Hour_ , etc.
You've gotta do Leathal Weapon 2, 3, and maybe 4. Also you have to do the spoof of this called Loaded Weapon 1. And, if you haven't done so, you've gotta do these films at some point: Die Hard 1, 2, 3, and maybe 4 (i've not seen 5 but I've heard it's crap), Last Action Hero, and True Lies. Those are all I can think off to suggest right now, which is plenty :P
It pains me that alot of the young guys havent seen these classics from the 80s. The movies from the 80s are so much more fun than the garbage pumped out nowadays.
As many times as I’ve seen this movie I just realized that the kids are saying “bust Dixie” Is that what they’re saying or are they saying “fuck Dixie”?
"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is a VERY slept on Shane Black movie with RDJ & Val Kilmer I recommend "Deep Cover" with Larry Fishburne & Jeff Goldblum as well...Super slept on and NO ONE is reacting to it on YT
Going back to the older uploads now I kinda want them to watch Black Sheep. It's definitely their level of comedy but then with some Deranged Gary sprinkled in for fun.
Hideo Kojima took some influence A LOT from 80's movies. Basically policenauts is these character (well visual look atleast not so much of persona wise) in space scifi setting.
Not a mullet. 7:33 he was going to fire the gun but Roger stopped the trigger just in the nick of time. 8:07 people have no idea how hard it is to aim for the leg while you're life is threatened.
Is the suicide jumper Bruce Campbell? Also did you notice that the shackles were disconnected at the slow-mo shot at the moment of jump and they just held hands? :-D
I don’t know if you’re interested in parodies, but maybe you could react to Backstroke of the West? It’s a dub of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith using (highly inaccurate) Chinese bootleg subtitles as a script.
At 6:48 you can see the handcuffs breaking during the suicide jump scene and the actors have to hold hands to make the scene look legit. Wow not a single comma, how about that. 🧐🧐🧐
If you guys like these old cheesy action movies, than might I suggest watching "Death wish" 1 & 2, starring Charles Bronson. He's an everyman by all accounts. but when his family is threatened he steps up into full blown action mode. In the first movie he's basically a 53 year old Rambo.
"Do you really wanna jump!?? Do you wanna?!!" As somebody who's really been there before.. I have to say, I believed MG's portrayal as a suicidal man with nothing to lose. Relax.. I'm okay.. I'm just saying.. people who really do want to do it, and are not wanting to be talked down.. look sorta like that. A bit different.. but.. it's like that. There is no way to describe it.. other than.. that. The difference is, he has something that he can focus that into. Some people join the military, some people become fire fighters. The real reason is the same.
What if he blew his brains out. Did you not pay attention he hammer came down if Rodger hadn’t grabbed it and his finger block the hammer he would have
Saying some anti-Jews stuff doesn't mean he couldn't be friends with Danny Glover, a least back then. It's really hard to create that kind of chemistry on screen without at least some good vibes in real life.
What should we react to next? Let us know, and thanks so much for watching!!

I've admittedly not researched this. This is what someone who was around at the time told me.
Looking forward to the other movies in this series
Speaking of buddy movies, have you seen Midnight Run? Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin, it's great
Have you guys seen the original "Highlander"?
@@ImokFubar Great movie!!
Most definitely the sequel(s). They are all a blast, each in their own way. And the relationships just get better.
Joe Pesci is a gem in #2

Same here. I was an adult in the 80's. Do you have any idea how many mullets I saw in the clubs?
I'm an X'er and luckily completely missed the mullet generation
@@A-small-amount-of-peas If you're an X'er, how could you possibly miss the mullet generation? Good God, the term 'mullet' was coined in 1994!
@@jamesoblivion Pretty sure you're wrong there
@@A-small-amount-of-peas GenX are getting pretty OLD nowadays, Pat 😕
(Good thing i'm a xennial)
I only remember the fourth movie, with Jet Li as the villain and Joe Pesci in a surprisingly touching role.

You two need to watch The Lost Boys and Point Break. Would totally fit your current fascination.

43k as of this post. I’d say you guys hit your goal. :)

i cant believe you guys didn't recognize Busey's son in Starship Troopers
12:15 You missed a shot there.
"And who better to do it, than an Australian with a mullet?!" 😁
Definitely do the sequels!!!!
8:08
That's a reference to a deleted scene where Riggs kills a school shooter earlier in the movie.

'Where trying to get to 1K subs by end of year!' One year later: 52.9K subs. GG guys.
Later, in the action? He says it 115 times over 4 Movies.
And they stayed out of the fight because they were more likely to get hit than help.
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. This and ‘The Lion in Winter’ (1968). I never miss them.
Nice! Two completely different Christmas films 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@NiceDudeMovieNight not so different, they’re both about family.
Another great buddy cop movie I fell in love with along with Lethal Weapon is Rush Hour, I recommend you check it out. Again that's Rush Hour with Jackie Chan, that is unless you've seen it already.
Since you mentioned Gary Busey, have you seen Point Break with him and Keanu? If not, please do. It´s great!!
For the record I'll take the salt over the electroshock treatment anyday
6:48 magical handcuffs

TOO MANY COOKS!!! OMG!! one of the best parodies. Ever.

Mnaaah..1 and 2
" . . I'm hungry."
Best line ever.
Please watch the second and third one. Great reaction
Thank you so much!
I hope you guys do the sequels eventually
Watch Lethal Weapon 2 next! It’s essential (others are too tbh)
Fun fact. The guy in the red jacket in the scene where he he says I'll show you crazy was fleas dad of red hot chilli peppers fame
Hotdogs are now a Chicago thing. New York has only the Pizza now.
Now I feel old, this I saw at university.
u missed that mel pulled the trigger, thats why rog said auch
So when will you guys get to Lethal weapon 2?
You've gotta do Leathal Weapon 2, 3, and maybe 4. Also you have to do the spoof of this called Loaded Weapon 1. And, if you haven't done so, you've gotta do these films at some point: Die Hard 1, 2, 3, and maybe 4 (i've not seen 5 but I've heard it's crap), Last Action Hero, and True Lies.

i grew up with this
What about Electro-Salt Treatment?
It pains me that alot of the young guys havent seen these classics from the 80s. The movies from the 80s are so much more fun than the garbage pumped out nowadays.
Yes! These movies can save many young men from a life of 'beta-dom'. We can't save them all, but we have to start somewhere.
Movies are so bad now....
They intentionally leave the city vague so you don't know where it was supposed to be
love the music
well it is eric clapton
also in the Uk version tv edge of darkness
Altaf would look awesome with the Riggs mullet lol
I hope you guys watch the others especially because Mel is working on the 5th one supposedly!
As many times as I’ve seen this movie
I just realized that the kids are saying “bust Dixie”
Is that what they’re saying or are they saying “fuck Dixie”?
In the sequel, which it seems you haven't done yet, the house is still being rebuilt.
Realy need to see at least the 2nd one. It explains a lot about this movie. Like rigs wife
Yes the two actors are close in real life.
"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is a VERY slept on Shane Black movie with RDJ & Val Kilmer
I recommend "Deep Cover" with Larry Fishburne & Jeff Goldblum as well...Super slept on and NO ONE is reacting to it on YT
Looking forward to the LW2 reaction
Point break is also a really good movie busey was in that you guys should check out
Leathal weapon 2 plzzzzzz
Juuuuust maybe we'll do it 😁
@@NiceDudeMovieNight sweet you'll love it
OK ok ok
Going back to the older uploads now I kinda want them to watch Black Sheep. It's definitely their level of comedy but then with some Deranged Gary sprinkled in for fun.
I don't know of a black father who doesn't appreciate his morning birthday bath cake.
I love your film reactions.
You have to watch "loaded weapon". Its a parody to lethal weapon
Point Break! if you haven't seem Busy then you have to do Point Break
Hideo Kojima took some influence A LOT from 80's movies. Basically policenauts is these character (well visual look atleast not so much of persona wise) in space scifi setting.
I would choose salt because I assume salt would hurt more, but do probably less damage.
Not a mullet.
7:33 he was going to fire the gun but Roger stopped the trigger just in the nick of time.
8:07 people have no idea how hard it is to aim for the leg while you're life is threatened.
Theirs IIRC at least 5 of those movies IMHO the 2nd one hands down is the best one of them.
If u see Mel in the movie Mavrick Danny Glover dose a cameo where he says " I'm to old for this shit"
also, you guys should check out Beverly Hills Cop and Underseige
Yes lethal weapon and die hard are considered Christmas movies to me
Lethal Weapon 2 NOT around?
You guys should watch National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon, one of the best comedy spin-offs ever made.
You guys should absolutely watch National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon
People forget Mel used to be able to act.
I can never remember - was it Gary Busey who got the TBI in a motorcycle crash, or was that Nick Nolte?
As someone that’s put salt in a cut because I was curious, I’d definitely choose salt in a wound over being electrocuted.
For sure. Salt is no more painful than using any standard alcohol based antiseptic.
Is the suicide jumper Bruce Campbell? Also did you notice that the shackles were disconnected at the slow-mo shot at the moment of jump and they just held hands? :-D
Where's parts 2, 3 and 4? Pls 🙏
You should review the parody of this.
National Lampoon's Loaded weapon.
Boys, where are the reactions to Lethal Weapon 2, 3, and 4. Not only are they good, some are even better than the first!
On that decision: I think I would have rather salt in the wound. Reason: I don't think that is as deadyl as electroshocks can be
If Murtaugh did keep the beard, he needed to do some serious manscaping. It was really rough around the edges :-)
You guys should watch speed great movie
have guy seen the moive of stargate...cuase if watch motive and like it you'll like the tv show
I don’t know if you’re interested in parodies, but maybe you could react to Backstroke of the West? It’s a dub of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith using (highly inaccurate) Chinese bootleg subtitles as a script.
Ha, the idea sounds pretty wild and on-brand for this show 😂 We’ll look into it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is pre head trauma Busey... he actually used to be normal, a long time ago.
Now both Danny and Mel are too old for this shit. Busey will never be, he'll just load up on pcp.
I would rather have salt in wound over electroshock therapy.
Mel Gibson does the best crazy eyes I've ever seen.
Thats not mullet thats just long hair a mullet is only long in the back the sides and top would still be short
Did you say something about Mel Gibson was so good in Batman? wha?
🤦♂️ Not a mullet.
Salt
