September 22, 20214 yr And should there be a part 5? Here's my rankings: 2- the one with the south African racists. Joe Pesci gets introduced to the series here. Also had the hottest chick. 4 - Jet Li saves this. 1 - Pretty tense one and both Gibson and Glover seemed out of their range but their characters weren't fully baked yet. 3- Only memorable part was when he buried that guy in cement alive. They are all incredibly unrealistic but I'll generally watch if they're on.
September 23, 20214 yr I voted for Part 2 but Patsy Kensit was not hotter than Rene Russo IMO. They are both hotter than Busey though.

I would absolutely watch a part 5.

September 23, 20214 yr 2,1,4,3. 1 had the best acting, and emotional depth. Tt wasn't full blown buddy cop movie and there was not only tension with the bad guy but between Riggs and Murtaugh as they felt each other out and learned to appreciate one another. 2 though was by far the most fun and had the most entertaining bad guys, hottest girl and best side character introduction (Leo) so it gets the slight nod.

September 23, 20214 yr To what extent does the flow of Murtaugh's mullet impact the rating? It went from average '80s in 1, to full blow dry fluff in 2, then man bun /pony tail when they were busted a rank for insubordination in 3 (or was it 4?)

And I wonder if Mel was secretly wanting to switch teams in 2? No CR
September 23, 20214 yr When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at... Well, see you tomorrow.
September 23, 20214 yr Speaking of 4, it's amazing just how racist that one is against Asians and how nobody gave a shit. You'd get crucified for making that movie today.
September 23, 20214 yr Just now, Surly Bevo said: Should have left this scene in 1 I just pulled that up! I swore I'd never seen that before. Glad to know my memory wasn't that bad. (also, it is too over the top in his death wish even for LW)

September 23, 20214 yr 1. And even that one wasn’t THAT good. I’ve addressed it before, probably on shaggy. There were so many plot holes. But at least it’s still fun to watch. The sequels all sucked.
September 23, 20214 yr “When I was nineteen, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out. A rifle shot in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could’ve made that shot. It’s the only thing I was was ever good at. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

September 23, 20214 yr How did the general manage to sneak up on Riggs in the desert? And how, with Mr. Joshua having a huge head start, did they manage to get to Murtaugh’s house ahead of him and leave him a note? And why was it necessary to drive a police car through the wall? And where did Riggs get the gun that he used to shoot Mr. Joshua after their fight? Still a classic but one that you sort of need to turn your brain off and not think too much about.
September 23, 20214 yr “You’re gonna fu-uck Dixie! You’re gonna fu-uck Dixie!” KABOOM!!!Posting the Laos thing that was just a few posts up and then fucking this up. It’s bust Dixie. BUST.
September 23, 20214 yr Speaking of 4, it's amazing just how racist that one is against Asians and how nobody gave a shit. You'd get crucified for making that movie today. So I just googled it because I don’t recall that one. At least one of the Asian jokes was written by one of the Asian actors in the movie. The director didn’t think there was a problem, and apologized for hurting people’s feelings. He also claimed that none of the Asian actors involved said anything.
September 23, 20214 yr I think I saw Lethal Weapon 4 only once it my life. It wasn't bad, but thought they should've ended at three.

I always heard it as “fu-uck:” That made more sense in context. My bad. As for the Laos quote, mine was accurate. And if you want to nitpick about this sort of thing then go to the “do you ever yearn?” thread and fuck yourself.
September 23, 20214 yr 2, 1.....3, 4 The gap between the first two and the last two is pretty massive. The best things I can see about 3 were Rene Russo and the Lethal Weapon 3 pinball game it spawned.
September 23, 20214 yr 6 hours ago, WhatTheBuck said: Also, the first one was a Christmas movie. Just not as good as Die Hard. And both starred this guy:
September 23, 20214 yr The Jet Li scenes were awesome in 4. The Chris Rock scenes were god-awful. The rest of the movie was them just going through the motions.

September 23, 20214 yr The first one because it's a gritty cop movie, not buddy cop garbage. Two isn't bad, but starts the trend. Edited September 23, 20214 yr by Captain Ron
September 23, 20214 yr I'm in the minority here but I think 1 is the best. Riggs "devil may care"/suicide mission attitude does it for me. Go watch the scene where he gets the jumper down. "Do you really want to jump? Do you wanna?" The look on Gibson's face and his tone are just insane.

September 23, 20214 yr 21 minutes ago, Deej said: Years later, we found out he wasn't having to act in that scene. Yep. Go watch him in pretty much all of his early action roles. He plays psycho a little too well. Another one that stands out is in The Patriot when he and his younger sons free Heath Ledger. He's goes all French and Indian Wars on the redcoats. And I think he really enjoyed it even if was movie magic.

September 23, 20214 yr "In one ear out the rubber" "God hates me, that's what it is! Hate him back, works for me" First two are great. The following two not so much. Edited September 23, 20214 yr by DeepEastTexas
September 23, 20214 yr That's pretty fucking thin. That's very thin. What the hell, thin's my middle name. Your wife's cooking, I'm not surprised. [fires his gun several more times] What? What? Nothin'. Remarks like that will not get you invited to Christmas dinner. My luck's changing for the better every day
