Gary Bussey is such a great actor in his day. If you really like him, he actually plays a 'good guy' role (albeit still a little crazy - which is what he does best) for a change in a stand out movie (read: tear jerker) called "BIG WEDNESDAY". It stars Jan Michael Vincent, Gary Bussey, William Katt, Patti D'Arbanville, and Lee Purcell. All excellent actors. Such a great feel movie.

The golden standard of the Buddy Cop genre

*This whole SAGA is a must watch*

Mel Gibson is supposed to be directing Lethal Weapon 5. Richard Donner was planning on directing it but unfortunately passed away. He asked Mel to take over if he couldn’t do it.

Mitchell Ryan played the dad on Dharma and Greg. He was also the dad in Grosse Pointe Blank.

Glad to see you starting your Lethal Weapon journey. I love these movies. Richard Donner directed all four films. I love watching his movies: The Goonies, Superman, The Omen(1976), Scrooged and Timeline, to name a few. Shane Black wrote for all four films as well. Another movie he worked on as a writer was The Monster Squad from 1986. I love the characters of Riggs and Roger in these movies. I also love the bond that develops between them. Looking forward to your reaction to Lethal Weapon 2, which is my favorite from the franchise. I was 16 when the first film came out and instantly loved it.

Don't forget Shane Black also wrote Predator and also was one of the Spec Forces guys.

Now you are ready to see the movie, Maverick, with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. There's a particular scene involving a heist and a cameo.

Your main bad guy was Mitchell Ryan, a character actor for many years. Died a few years back. Thank you for your reaction and killer smiles !

I love how she called it right at the end. Bravo. I hope you liked it.

80’s Action movies are so good

Mitchell Ryan(1934-2022) The latest series he was a regular in was Dharma & Greg 1997 - 2002.

Love the channel and your reactions. Just a little pet peeve of mine…there’s a difference between watching something formulaic ….and watching the origin or the formula itself. LW and 48 hrs created the buddy cop genre so I think they’re above that term IMHO 😊

Also "Running Scared" w/ Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. It didn't make a huge impact, but it came out the year before LW. Really it can go all the way back to 1949 with Kurosawa's "Stray Dog" with several more buddy cop films in the 60s and 70s. Lethal Weapon, however, perfected it. What I didn't get was the scene with Murtaugh mistaking RIggs for a gunman followed by the "That's so 80s" remark. I can't pin down why that would be peculiar to the 1980s.

One of the best buddy cop action comedy movies ever made! I watched the second and third film on NBC back in the early 90's.

The last guy that holds Gibson hostage at the Xmas tree lot that he headbutts is the dad of red hot chili peppers singer

I saw this in the theatre, March 6 1987. I've been a Mel Gibson fan since the early 80s when his Aussie movies to over the world. Mel was the one to bring Australia to North America. The Mad Max Series(79-85), Gallipoli(1981), Attack Force Z(1982), The Year of Living Dangerously(1982). All great movies. Mel became an International Star making 3 Hollywood movies in one year, The Bounty(1984) (Excellent true story movie), Miss Soffel(1984), The River(1984). Mel made 9 movies from 79-85. He got burnt out & sick and had to go back to his Farm in Australia for 2 years to get healthy. Lethal Weapon was his come back film. Been a fan of Danny Clover since Witness(1985). Excellent movie made by Australia greatest film maker Peter Weir. The 3rd Star of Lethal Weapon is Director Richard Donner, who directs all 4 movies. Any movie directed by him is worth watching. Ricard Donner has made many classics. This movie series also has the most positive Black Family in movie history! All 4 movies keep all the family actors and gives them growth.

You got to see Maverick (1994) if you haven't, with Mel Gibson and directed by Richard Donner. Also, Ransom (1996) is a must watch and one of Mel Gibson's best performances. Definitely makes for a good reaction on the channel.

I've seen this movie 100 times, and I never noticed the twin sister in the yearbook :"Clever girl!"

25:59 This is an interesting observation, but Richard Donner never shot alot of coverage for his movies in general. Like Spielberg, he always knew what he wanted and did not want to waste time with a lot of unnecessary coverage.

4:45 "One of the guys looked like he got pelted but he was only shot once." Yeah. By a shotgun. One "shot" from a shotgun fires many pellets that spread out. Great for short range accuracy because even if your aim is a bit off, some of those spreading pellets probably hit anyway. At that short range, maybe 15-20 feet like we saw, they don't spread much so they all hit that guy in the chest.

It's an awesome movie. It's the audience that's changed, humor lost of a lot of today.

“He exploded”. Priceless

Busey also plays a great bad guy in UNDER SEIGE. One of Steven Segals last good movies before started putting out trash and was one of the few movies actually filmed on the actual USS MISSOURI

This and Die Hard are my favorite Christmas movies. The theory on Riggs jumping with the guy is that he could control how the guy landed. Landing wrong can break your neck. No one would actually do that but it's a good plot device.

“Cheesy” is a word I apply to something that is unintentionally bad. In this case, and a lot of movies from that time period, what you’re seeing was an intentional stylistic choice. Not quite “breaking the fourth wall”, but winking at the audience to some degree, and being fine with sacrificing realism for entertainment. “Heightened reality”. Audiences were clearly fine with it too. At the same time, the culture was different, and some of that is the way people actually acted. They didn’t take themselves too seriously, and they weren’t as hyper-sensitive. Overall though, this was a way of making movies that was better than what’s happening now. And definitely more popular and successful. The real skill was having a fine balance between action, comedy, drama and romance all in one film. Raiders Of The Lost Ark is probably the ultimate example. Maintaining tension while cracking jokes is not easy. I’m not saying it’s the best movie ever made, but it has strengths. There were several scenes cut that ramped up how messed up Mel Gibson’s character was, but I think that was wise, because he’s more sympathetic in the release version, and the movie is less dark than it would have been.

I worked on a tv show in which we shot part of an episode at Shane Black’s house (i imagine it’s just “one” of his houses). We didn’t have access to the entire house but we shot mostly in the “Ball Room”. Yes he has a Ball Room. The Ball Room was attached to the house and massive. It is 20-30x the size of my entire apartment. The ceilings were like 30 feet high, and it was about 150ft by 75ft in length and width. It was the perfect size for a decent size house party or screening. I didn’t see much of the rest of the interior but the property itself is impressive. I think they said the oil Barron from There will be Blood owned a lot of the land in this gated community at one point. Guess he deserves it though, Shane has some legendary screenwriting credits under his belt. 80’s and 90’s gold.

I have worked at some incredible properties, but it’s almost always people you’ve never heard of. That’s why it was special working at Shane Black’s house.

Time stamp 5:31 Riggs in a fit of depression puts his Beretta model 92 in his mouth and Coby says "that won't kill you." Yes, it will kill you DRT, even with the full metal jacket 9 mm Riggs at some point erroneously claims is a hollow point. The bullet would hit the back of the throat and exit from the back of the neck or head severing either the brain stem or the top of the spinal column. Either way, Dead Right There.

"they blow over this huge trauma"...yeah, it's the 80's and he's a guy. The scene that best depicts that is between their captain and the shrink when he says, "and if he offs himself we'll know I was wrong." It's how it was. It's how I was raised. It sucked, lol.

5:24 "That won't kill you." Of course not. He has to pull the trigger first. Jokes aside, yes it will, almost always. Self inflicted gunshot wounds that penetrate the skull are fatal more than 95 percent of the time. That gun, that angle, it definitely penetrates the skull. Could he survive? Small chance, but yes. Could it kill him? Very high chance. Way too high to say "That won't kill you."

Awesome as usual! Fun note: the jumper is the same guy who played 'Johnny' in Mad Max

I remember seeing all the lethal weapon movies as a kid

Coby. Mitchell Ryan was in a million things. I remember him from a show called Dharma and Greg. He was Greg's Dad. Nice reaction!! Looking forward to more.

Busey also with Keanu Reeves in Point Break!😮😮😮😮. And he did the best Buddy Hollie movie!he did a nice early 80s RomCom!

Love Love Love Coby!!!

I have a couple of loose ties to this movie. One of my family names is Hunsucker, also commonly spelled Hunsicker and Hunsaker. During the 1940's and 1950's, my grandmother Hunsucker had a frock shop across Wilshire from The Wiltern.

Busey's boss is from Liar,Liar he was Jim Carey's boss at law firm. Comedy actor

Chemestry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover was awesome. It goes beyond the screen too. One day, a "journalist" tried to trick Danny Glover into saying something bad about Mel Gibson. Oh it did not go well... Danny Glover looked at him with an angry face and made it very clear how loyal his friendship is!

Other buddy cop movies to watch after the three sequels are Red Heat, Tango and Cash, the Bad Boys trilogy and the Rush Hour trilogy

19:45 Somehow you got the misunderstanding that Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) was dating Murtaugh's daughter. Earlier Murtaugh mentioned that her daughters teen boyfriend had "pits" (dimples). "When he smiles I can see through his head." He's seen the kid. I doubt he would mistake 43 year old Gary Busey for a teen boy. Gary Busey doesn't even have dimples at all. Laugh-lines, sure, but not a hint of a dimple. (You may know a thing or two about laugh-lines; yours are lovely by the way!) The radio call said "Sarge, we've got a body for you. Male, caucasian, age 17. Not two blocks from your home. " Murtaugh guessed he was blonde with dimples and was right - that dead 17 year old boy was Mark, Rianne's boyfriend with the pits in his face.

Mel Gibson did a movie called "Payback" in 1999 that hasn't been reacted to much. Not sure why. It's pretty great! I think you'd like the noir cinematography and dark humor.

Nobody Watches “Payback” ‼️ William Devane Bill Duke Kris Kristopherson Lucy Liu (1999!) It’s a CRAZY good cast.. that’s just partial! It’s PHENOMENAL! And David Sanborn slung a tremendous 80’s 🎷, look into some of his albums, fantastic for the beach.

I appreciate your enjoyment and reaction. You mentioned that it was a bit cheese and 'formula'... These movies were what CREATED the 'formula'. You're looking at EIGHTIES ACTION ❤❤! The pioneers of GREAT movies. Everything after is copying OUR formula. Yes, there were some from the seventies, like the Dirty Harry franchise (which I HIGHLY encourage), but generally the action/comedy was MASTERED in the 80s. Now 'the industry' is just REMAKING OUR movies. That's insulting.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself. Leathel Weapon IS the formula that was copied over and over, even up to this day. When she said "watch Busey try to get a gun so they shoot him"...I'm shouting: that prediction came from THIS movie.

4:47 - It was a shotgun, sweetheart.

So Air America is a true story. And there is a movie based on it called Air America and none other than Mel Gibson stars as the pilot.

"That won't kill you". Ya wanna bet! It would literally hit the Medulla Oblongota, or sever the spine killing you. Fun Fact: Air America, the CIA operation that funded the Vietnam War which they were talking about was real, and Mel Gibson starred in a movie of the same title along with Robert Downey Jr.

The ultimate Buddy-Cop movie! 😎

That's actually a great observation I've never thought about! I always assumed the explosive that blew up Dixie's house was on a timer. But given how the bad guys operate, Joshua most likely was watching the house to make sure it went up.. Maybe they just weren't ready for the heat murdered cops would create at that time. Even if they escalate to that level fairly quickly after.

As an LA native (Angelino, if you will lol), something else that I always found funny is that the end of the Hollywood chase is obviously on Silverlake Blvd and it’s made to look like a freeway lol

The guy who gets the drop on Riggs at the Christmas tree lot is Blackie Dammett. He was the father of Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

So the guy only got shot once, but he got shot by a shotgun, which shoots out a bunch of pellets

It's amazing that a commercial 80s action movie follows the Air America plotline, an actual CIA operation which enabled drug Tsars in Cambodia in exchange for resources in the Vietnam War and led to a heroin epidemic in America. That happened. The helicopter shots in this were done by the same guy that did Highlander's epic shots. The General plays Minnie Driver's dad in Grosse Pointe Blanke.

The jumper could just move a few yards and jump outside the balloony thing.

meh, she picked it apart

2:34 ”50 is not old.” Spoiler: Murtaugh is too old for this shit.

18:05 the program he was talking about “Air America” is an actual movie with Mel Gibson that has that basic storyline. 19:53 he’s taking it seriously cause the person they were describing was deceased so he thought his daughter was with the boy. 24:34 the joke was “let’s do what one Shepard said to the other Shepard” Answer: Let’s get the flock (the sheep instead of saying the F word) out of here.

In regards to the jumper, jumping on the baloon thing. What if the jumper decided to move and jump on the other side of the building where there is no balloon thing? Nice try though. Great reaction.

Mr. Joshua doesn't know his boss is dead.

FUN FACT: Mitchell Ryan also played Commander William Riker's Dad, Kyle Riker, in Star Trek The Next Generation

Great job as always Coby. None of the conte goes over your head. Gibson is still one of my faves to this day. The work he has done with child trafficking is quite admirable. Another teally good tecent movie that he has done was with Vince Vaughn called “dragged across concrete “. Great flick

Mitchell Ryan also in "Grosse Pointe Blank". If you haven't seen it, put it on your list!

The helicopter is flying low to create dust and mask the cars coming.

"...A little bit formula..." And Shakespeare wrote entirely in cliches. Seriously, this movie IS the formula. (Can't argue with a little cheesy or a little bit predictable, though.)

Iirc, the general was also Jim Carrey's top boss at the law firm in Liar Liar.

'What's the age gap between them, are they OK to hook up?'... well, seeing as Rianne was a teenager in the mid-80's and Riggs served in Vietnam... I'm thinking it would be somewhat icky. 😊

Coby slowly becomes one of my favourite reactors. Keep up the great work :)

Predictable....OR...you're just brilliant, Colby. = ) Excellent timing also. One thing though...NOW it is a "formula" in movies. Back then? That's where it originated and others since then have copied.

Why do you think Mr. Joshua knows his boss is dead? How could he possibly know that? They both split up at the same time when Riggs burst into the basement. The Boss went out the back alley, Joshua went out the front dorr of the nightclubs, both of them blasting their way out and before the invention of the modern cell phone. The hallmark of a good second-in-command is to be able to make decisions without guidance in the direction of the mission.

6:42 THEY SAID THE THING!!! 😀😀

I liked the extended cut bcuz Riggs’ original opening was quite different. Plus the music I loved was a combination of Michael Kamen, who would later do die hard, and Eric Clapton. They would later do the song “It’s Probably Me” w/Sting that would be sorta of the main theme song of the franchise

20:50 he didn’t tell other cops cuz they’d kill his daughter

That's why they want Murtaugh alive so they can find out what he knows and who he told.

2 is best but u have to watch all 4, to close out everyone's story!! The movie that changed comedy movies music soundtracks buddy cop stuff, etc., was 48 hours. Then Beverly hills cop, both Eddie Murphy, then this! The massive long running Internet debate, like Diehard, is this a Christmas movie?e pseci and glover do a comedy after 2 called, gone fishin! And the Greatest Cameo of all time is in Mel's movie, Maverick! Danny makes the Cameo!

I was 8 years old when my Dad took me to watch at the movies. What a great day.

This and Miami Vice was the standard for buddy cop movies and shows. Tho not a comedy, I HIGHLY recommend the Miami Vice TV movie! I highly recommend the whole series.

Very close. He was in Dharma & Greg.

General Peter McAllister was played by Mitchell Ryan. 139 acting credits. You felt like he'd been in a TV show. He did 119 episodes of Dharma & Greg. 36 episodes of Santa Barbara. 107 episodes of Dark Shadows in the 1960s if your watching habits go back that far. The rest is pretty small stuff, though he was also in many movies.

This movie and Die Hard are both Christmas movies! lol :)

A bit of information for the scene where Riggs is trying to kill himself Mel Gibson was sort of uncomfortable doing the scene so Richard Donner (the director) waited until everyone left and then he took Mel and a camera man to a closed set to shoot the scene and to give an authentic feeling of fear and anxiety Mel put a bullet in the chamber don’t worry it was a blank bullet and after they did that scene Mel, Richard Donner and the camera man broke down crying and hugged each other
