The way Riggs acted, suicidal, depressed, frustrated. I feel that. I could relate. I felt like that for a long time. He's not really crazy. He's frustrated and trying to laugh it off just makes you seem crazy. It felt very real the first time I watched this.

Absolutely. He was fighting depression and grief. He wasn't crazy at all. You could argue that maybe he should have been placed on extended leave. It seems the psychologist understood that. But the job was all he had and taking that away from him would have drove him over the edge. All he needed was a supportive partner and a friend. Sgt. Murtaugh saved him.

One thing I liked about the movie series is that they kept the same actors and actresses as Murtaughs family. So you got to see these kids grow up like the Cosby show.

I believe when Riggs honestly answered no to the question of do you like my wife's cooking is what solidified their friendship. Roger knew Martin was going to be honest with him no matter what.

Excellent movie that must be on his watch list!

Don't worry about the jump scare when Dixie's house blew up. You were watching that on a small screen, imagine that in a full-size theater which is where I originally saw it for the first time

You can’t go to war in a sweater vest. Best piece of advice anyone will ever get.

The jumping scene is VERY similar to Crocodile Dundee - another GREAT comedy that you should react to if you haven't already

Good reaction! Danny Glover was playing 50 but he was actually 40 years old. But he fooled the director at some point too who thought he was making this old guy run so much 😂😂. Mel Gibson was 30 and believe it or not, the girl playing Glover’s daughter was not 16 but 27 years old! They fooled all of us!

And Riggs was 38,they were just all over the place with the ages. It’s almost like they purposely had as many people playing the wrong ages as possible. The dog was 137 playing maybe 4😂

I think one thing people don’t know nowadays is this is pretty much where the cop buddy movie genre started. A lot of people may have seen this style of film before but they have to realize when we saw it on screen, it was fresh, new and took the industry by storm.

“I betcha that whole house smells like pink lotion”🧴 🤣🤣🤣. I’m hollerin’ over here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

25:02 'Shut up!' 25:23 Who are you, Keyser Söze...? 26:18 I really like the scene where Riggs runs away from the car and the camera follows him. 29:11 "There's no more heroes left in the world..."

Helicopter blades tilt up and down and can dip below 5 or 6 feet, so it actually is possible to get hit by one on the ground. It’s a legit safety measure to duck when entering or exiting a helicopter when the blades are spinning.

A fun awesome buddy cop action comedy film! Before Mel Gibson was cast as Martin Riggs, Patrick Swayze, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, William Hurt, Mickey Rourke, Robert DeNiro, Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Christopher Lambert (Lamb bear) Jeff Bridges, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Tom Cruise, and Christopher Reeve were considered. Before Danny Glover was cast as Roger Murtaugh, Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Al Pacino, Warren Beatty, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Dennehy, and Robert Duvall were considered. Before Gary Busey was cast as Joshua, David Bowie, Christopher Walken, James Woods and John Lithgow were considered. Before Mitchell Ryan played the villainous Gen. Peter McAllister, Lee Marvin, Bruce Dern, James Earl Jones, Richard Jordan and Peter Boyle were considered.

Lethal Weapon 2 is the best one out of the series.

“I bet that whole house smell like Pink Lotion.” Lol I laughed.

The Shadow Company guys really did think Riggs was dead. But these men are professional soldiers so they plan for all types of contingencies. In their time they have probably lost count of all the ambushes they have set up for other people. So given where they were meeting Murtaugh in the desert it’s not hard for them to figure out an ideal area for a sniper to be held up. It just took the General at least 3 shots to figure out where Riggs was hiding.

Man! What a funny sound that dog in the bed makes. Not loud ear shattering barks I can’t stand. So cool.

OMG the dog talking in lower case was the most adorable thing I've ever seen lol.

Fun fact, the captain from this movie was in Predator 2 with Danny Glover. He was one of the street cops in the opening scene where they were having that huge gun battle with the drug gang.

According to Gary Busey himself he actually did the lighter under his arm & I believe him, I wouldn't be suprised if he actually did that! Even before he became nuts after his motorcycle accident, he seems to have always been a wild person. He once said that he accidently spilled his coke on his dog & he snorted all of it from his dog. The dog had been rolling on beach sand so not only did Gary snort the coke, he also snorted sand & bugs from the dog too!

You enjoyed this one and it was a pleasure to watch the video. Fun Fact: Hunsacker says that he was part of CIA operation called Air America. In 1990 Mel Gibson starred in a film named "Air America" as a pilot. Quite good anf fun film. They are All great films. I think you will deeply enjoy them all! Loved seeing this one and look forwards to the next one.

Romulus is such a good boy, I love that little dude.

I like that we got both pups chillin on top of the covers in the beginning

Danny Glover was 39 when he filmed Lethal Weapon. Damn that makes me feel old

The hilarious thing is that Danny Glover wasn’t even 50 when he did this film. He was only 41 while making this one. How crazy is that! When they did that Lethal Weapon show a few years ago, Damon Wayans was already pushing 60 when he played Murtaugh.

Glad you liked this movie, Murder Whistle! The chemistry between Gibson and Glover was the reason people kept coming back for the sequels. Also a little trivia tidbit: director Franco Zeffirelli was so impressed by Gibson's acting in the attempted suicide scene that he cast Gibson as Hamlet alongside loads of heavyweight Shakespearean actors.

“We’ll get a couple 1st class tickets to Detroit and lay low for a couple of weeks. What do you say?” 👀 I looked for you to finish that alley-oop and with authority.

LMAOOOO..lines that gave me the biggest laughs on this review: "Are they in Detroit?" "I bet that whole house smell like Pink Lotion" "She's watchin' the same movie I'm watchin'' "Why did you have to call somebody?" "Shut up! SHUT UP! I think I pee'd a little" "Hey man, you can't go to war in a sweater vest though" and "He's about to go sniper in a Members Only jacket" "You done killed 97 people...what's one more?" Oh, a little Easter Egg: "Air America" is another MUST SEE Mel Gibson movie, co-starring Robert Downey Jr A great MUST SEE action/cop movie with Gary Busey is POINT BREAK. Add it to the list, pleeeeaaase!

I'm a few days late but Danny Glover was actually 40 years old during the filming of Letheal Weapon! 🤣

Ah the greatest buddy cop movies. Back when Mel was on top of the world

Vic Morrow, the actor who starred in a 60's TV show called "Combat", got beheaded while filming for the movie version of "Twilight Zone". That's why people duck.

You jumped like you were in a Kriss Kross video from '92 three different times. You saying when the first one happened after the house blows up, 'Quiet!' ...... 'Quiet!!'" That's my new ring tone, right there. This is my first time watching you, first video reaction. You had me at that Passion Of The Christ quip. You are on so point, you got pitch-perfect comic timing, like crazy good. You know how to hold for laughs, just sit there and let the anticipation build and build of what you're going to say.

Funny you mention being 41. Danny Glover was 41 when they filmed this in the summer of 1986.

Danny Glover was 39 when the was made. I'm 43 now, now I feel to old for this sh!t.

37:06 Don't be jealous about Danny Glover is this movie because he was really just 40 years old in ths film. 37:01 Danny Glower is just 10 years older that Mel Gibson. Lethal Weapon was made three years before the Predator 2. You should now watch the movie the Maverick (1994). :)

Starring a young Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, Lindsey Wagner and the late, great Rutger Hauer in his American film debut. It's a great flick! Ya outta give it a try sometime.

It's funny, Danny Glover was playing a 50 year old in this film from '87 but in Predator 2 from '90 he was 44, lol. I always wondered why people thought he was too old in Predator 2 considering how in great shape he was.

Another great editing job. Not sure if I'd seen this movie; if I have, it was 30 years or more ago. I was able to watch in 40 minutes, and I doubt that I missed much. And watching it along with JL and the pups is a lot more entertaining than watching it by myself.
