Movies Watching Lethal Weapon for the first time

[JSN]

Back in the day I bought a set with all four Lethal Weapons for $10 at Warma. I figured why not and was blown away with how good the first one is. I remembered it as a fun, silly movie but didn’t realize it was the fun, silly movie.

Second one is sick too. Three and four are kind of whatever but not bad by any means.

There's that gold pen scene in Lethal Weapon 2. Riggs is cooking. It's a few cans of Hormel chili he's heating in a pot, and he adds chopped celery and carrots. It's pretty perverse.

The first 2 are great. I thought 3 was just ok, and it features easily the worst villain of the franchise. At least Jet Li was there to provide a physical threat to Riggs and Murtaugh in 4.

Dog shit dialog. A professional sniper wouldn't take a 1000 yard head shot. Even with a 0.5 MOA rifle at a thousand yards you're looking at a 5" grouping. That's a generous estimation of a Vietnam era Special Forces sniper rifle in combat conditions.

No professional sniper would risk a head shot at that range in high wind. Riggs really shows his ass in that dialog if you ask me.

Unless hitting him in the head was unintentional.

There was no second Highlander movie.

Damn right. There was 1 movie, then a TV show that had 5 seasons and ended with the episode Forgive is for Our Trespasses. That’s all.

There can be only 1 Highlander movie.




and a great tv series.

The problem with the series is (1) Riggs keeps getting happier and less interesting and (2) the team of good guys keeps getting bigger. LW1 was Riggs and Murtaugh against the world and even Riggs against everyone including Murtaugh. LW2 was Riggs and Murtaugh and Pesci. LW3 was Riggs and Murtaugh and Pesci and Russo. LW4 was Riggs, Murtaugh, Pesci, Russo, Rock, etc.

The series never goes down the drain or anything but there's a clear shift in tone and style after the first two. Which is often the case...Jaws, Death Wish, Alien, Beverly Hills Cop, etc.

Rule of Cool, dude. It sounds bad ass AF, especially to people who have never served in the military.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Not as good as Die Hard? You need to rewatch it already buddy. What did you have an extra long piss break or something? Learn some respect. You are not ready to progress on yet.

It has Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Gary Busey's teeth, an unknown Steve Buscemi in the background, Al Leong gets a talking role, written by Shane Black (whilst he was in the jungle filming Predator), the introduction of BJJ, titties, it's an 80s buddy cop movie, it's funny, there's a chick in it making video tapes...pornographic video tapes.

Die Hard is good but it's only got Willis, Rickman, some Euro terrorists (yawn), Reginald Vehohansonsonsonsonson, Robert Davi, a couple of funny lines and some steyrs getting fired for the first time in movies and ....no titties.

you young whipper snappers need to learn to eat your damn vegetables and appreciate

While I agree with most of this, I must point out that Die Hard does have tities; when the terrorists are rounding up the hostages at the beginning, you see the girl who was getting banged in the office. She does have a nice rack, it must be said

Mel just walked up to the sniper and got him dead uh huh. Oddly enough the only LW movie I have seen is the 4th one which I did like. Will return to the thread once the movie is over.

Froggy monologue FTW!

There's titties in Die hard bro. If I wasn't agreeing with your original point I would be very upset right now.

Not to mention Michae Hunsackah.

I did an image search for 'Die hard tits'.

I stand corrected. It must have been brief for me not to remember such artistry.
