First day on the job, and, after a wild shootout, where the bad guy is fatally wounded, he falls into the Swimming Pool, and gets caught up in the Pool Cover. Riggs and Murtaugh dive in after the guy...but discover that he's already dead. Afterwards, as they swim to the edge of the Swimming Pool, and rest there, catching their breath, before they climb out of the Pool, Murtaugh looks at Riggs, and asks him:"Is there anybody you've ever met, that you didn't kill"? Riggs looks at Murtaugh, and says:"Well, I haven't killed you yet"! I love that verbiage between these two! Later, Murtaugh ended up "eating crow", when he thinks about how Riggs had saved his life.....and thanks Riggs for doing that for him.....only for Riggs to look at him, and tell him:"I'll bet that hurt to say that", to which Murtaugh replies:"More than you'll ever know". And THAT is the start of a great friendship! One that's still going strong to this day!

I miss the late 80's and early 90's really effin bad and I am NOT kidding. This movie always passes through my mind at Christmas, and I was just thinking of it two days ago and now this popped up in the feed. This is one of my all time favorite movies. One little side note for anybody who cares. There is a very good chance that at the same exact time of the filming of this movie, Guns N' Roses was recording "Appetite for Destruction" only miles away in the San Fernando Valley.

Riggs is actually a very complex character, perfectly played by Mel Gibson. You can tell Gibson was channeling some of his inner demons through Riggs

FYI. No Christmas Trees were harmed during the making of this movie.

Fun fact: the actor who's playing thug in checkered coat is Blackie Dammett aka John Michael Kiedis, he is the father of Anthony Kiedis.

Riggs is a all time great movie character. Love him.

Luv this scene riggs spinning on the dirt is straight🔥🔥🔥🔥

I saw this movie recently - definitely one of the few, flawless movies. It doesn't matter it's just a genre, cop film. It has a great, but not overdone story - simple, to the point, but not stupid. It has amazing characters, dialogue and character work - not just by Gibson and Glover, but by Busey and everyone else in the cast. Everyone fits their part to a t. Gibson and Glover are on another level - just exceptional chemistry that probably never was bested in any similar film. The cinematography is great too. The desert scenes, the final fight near the hydrant, the chase through the night city, the close-ups of Riggs fuming at the beginning selling the intensity. It's so well shot and executed. The whole movie has the right, perfect balanse of seriousness and humor. It doesn't feel like a comedy although there are a lot of laughs. The first sequel is still a great film, it retains a lot of the first's attributes, but it turns Riggs and Murtaugh slightly into comic-book/sitcom versions of their characters and the whole movie plays a lot like a comedy. It's not too much, no. 2 is still a great film, but you can feel a certain difference. The movie started a whole genre - the buddy cop movie. It was preceded by 48 hours with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy kinda doing the "buddy" thing well too, but Lethal Weapon really put it over the top. It's still the ultimate blueprint for the genre. And in today's culture, the movie is refreshingly rough - the language, jokes, violence, etc. It's not a bloodbath or an overflow of cheap insults, but it's nicely unafraid to just be what it is instead of trying to be politically correct. It still feels fresh, current and entertaining. It stood the test of time at over 30 years old. Basically, this is IMO a cinema classic on the level of It's a wonderful life, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, etc. It just so happens it's a genre film, but it's a classic nonethless.

Why not?

Mel is great. Loved him as Riggs

Ah the 80s. What a time to be young in the U.S. Some of the best action movies ever came out then.

I was in my 20s during the 80s.... It was an awesome decade....

Mel would’ve been a great casting as Wolverine in 1987!

Love this movie for the longest time and still magical. Almost impossible to get tired of it. Every Christmas I watch it but all year round too. I like it better than Die Hard

Same as a kid who didn’t know any better I liked die hard a lot and I still do but now as an adult I’m starting to like it more than die hard mainly because I relate to Riggs like a tiny bit more though my problems aren’t as bad as his but trying to make the best of it

Which is more magical: this or Eragon?

Can't believe people watch stuff like "Elf" every Christmas when we have great choices like this or Die Hard. A new one for my christmas list is "Violent Night".

2:07 the way he hands over the gun 😂

I love the Lethal Weapon movies

0:29 when I'm paying food in a fancy restaurant with pennys 0:37 when the waiter said its not enough

I actually have never seen a better and more believable "I'm a maniac with nothing to lose" performance than this.

I remember when Mel Gibson was on the Simpsons, he enacted the "crazy" gesture at 1:26. I had a great fit of joy seeing that

In situations like this, trying to hold a suicidal guy at gunpoint is suicidal.

I'm too old for this...

Love this movie got me through the rough times in high school and my adult life in the hoods of chicago. GREAT MOVIE, MY FAVORITE MEL GIBSON'S PERFORMANCE!!!

Mel is the GOAT of detectives/cops of actors to portray the law enforcement characters

His mannerisms from 2:37-2:50 are the best. Plus the look on the crooks face

This is still one of my favorite character set-ups.

Not sure if this is acting. I think a film crew was just following Mel Gibson around

This should be the top comment.

I just love Mel's "wide-eyed" look when he gets mad/upset. He has BEAUTIFUL eyes. He is so damn good looking! Of all the Lethal Weapons.....this one is my favorite. 🤗

Mel Gibson is just perfection. I'm absolutely in love with him in the Lethal Weapon movies! He's incredible. No matter what may have happened in his personal life, he is so incredibly talented. ❤️

Riggs's Beretta 92F is a beautiful gun. 9mm 15+1 round capacity, dual/ambi safeties/decocking levers, loaded chamber indicator , drop safety and firing pin block, all aluminum, open breach design to ensure stabilities of rounds cycling up the feed ramp and no jamming/misfires. Works every time. Riggs and John McClane made the Beretta the badass gun of the best 80's action flicks. Die Hard and Lethal weapon are two of my favorite movies and two of the greatest action flims ever made. They just don't make movies this awesome anymore. Even Cobra with Stallone and the lovely Brigitte Nielsen for as cheesy as it was is an awesome action film, the modeling shots of Brigitte and the robots juxtaposed with Stallone and his partner hitting the streets and busting heads is brilliant. Not to mention one of the best one liners ever, "I'm gonna blow this place to kingdom come!" "Go ahead, I don't shop here!" Also, "We are the way of the new world man!" "No you're just a disease and I'm the cure!" So badass.

"What's that, Cyrus?" "That's a rock." Conair is a classic slice of Pizzahut action cheese.

i like mel gibson imitation of curly and moe

1:27 the sound he makes when he slaps the middle guy :') mimimimimi! And the extra slap on the forehead...

That’s Anthony Keides’ dad in that scene (lead singer of the RHCP’s). Never noticed that before. Blackie Dammett.

" you wanna see your f...... face in the clouds, yea ..yeeaah" lmbo

The dude with the gun to Mel’s throat is Anthony Kiedis’s Dad.

i just had a luagh to myself. its my brothers birthday. he watches this lethal weapon alot. he said i am mel gibson. with such conviction. happy birthday GOGO

The funniest part in movie ! "100 dollars !" And then Martin yells "Shoot him !" with a gun on his head ! The best hostage in a whole world !

1:34 the aussie acent almost came out in force lol

Good observation- on Mr. Rigg's, part. Seeing the guy looking up to the truck. Then. Then turning around seeing the guy with the shotgun.

that's how you handle a hostage.. situation...great movie.

jason bishop , Speed movie logic says shoot the hostage in a non vital area to take them out of the equation. 😂
