Ah you didn’t show my favourite line from the entire series “You’re the only family I got, I’ve got 3 beautiful kids, I love them, they’re yours. Trish does my laundry, I live in your icebox, I live in your life!” As someone who is closer to his friends family than his own this line really hits me.

[@Mugthraka]

Yeah you really felt that. He litteraly has a life, cause Roger and his family was there to "give" him a life, else he would be still alone with his suicidal ideas if he din't act on it allready.

[@maisiesummers42]

As someone once said, there's the family you're born to, and there's the family you _choose_ Usually we're closer to our chosen family than to our blood relations.

[@sparks5063]

Great line that!

[@erikthompson619]

Fun fact: you know who we have to thank for the Lorna character and the ensuing love story being in the script? An uncredited Carrie Fisher. I kid you not. Thee one and only Leia was also one of the best screenplay-improvers in the business.

Lethal Weapon 4 is one of the best in the series. It has one of the best villains. And the movie raises the stakes in a way that makes Riggs and Murtaugh feel overmatched with who they're facing up against. It's one of the best endings to a franchise in my opinion.

Loaded Weapon 1 is the parody of all these films, with Emilio Estevez and Samuel L Jackson.. and it's amazing.

[@jp3813]

Jack Travis is played by Stuart Wilson, who also played Rafael Montero in The Mask of Zorro. As for the comparisons w/ Die Hard, apparently according to Screen Junkies' "Honest Action" in which they consulted medical experts, John McClane would've only survived the entirety of DH2 as opposed to the other movies of that franchise.

[@stiimuli]

Hope you'll do Lethal Weapon 4. It might be the best one in the series, partly because of its very special guest star villain.

[@stevenwoodward5923]

I agree the villian was great, but, in my opinion the ending fight for me was too unrealistic, because he was so great.

[@rayspicher9902]

Yes, when ammo is set on fire, it "cooks off." I've witnessed this first hand in Iraq. I was in a vehicle that hit an IED (improvised explosive device), and we had to evacuate the vehicle in the middle of nowhere Iraq. One of the following vehicles picked us up, and we GTF out of there. Unfortunately, we weren't able to recover our ammo, and as we were driving away, we could hear the rounds cooking off.

[@DarkPaladin24]

Must have been scary. At least you made it.

[@bradmcmahon3156]

It does but it doesn't go off like a round in a firearm because the pressure isn't there from the bullet being secured in the chamber. The powder and primer will go off but the case will blow apart and seperate from the bullet because the case is much thinner than the bullet itself.

[@alexhaas9653]

Thanks for the reaction. All four movies are great. Highly rewatchable. The scene with Riggs and Murtaugh on the boat is very strong and a real highlight. Great acting and what a range of emotions in just a few minutes.

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

I never get tired of seeing Riggs go full psycho mode.

Trivia: Word” is another way to say, “Okay” or “Cool.” It communicates that you heard the other person or received their text message. X Research source. “I'm coming over later.” “Word.” “I might be 10 minutes late.” “Word.”

[@SwordmasterKane]

To answer your question regarding the music: A lot of action movies in the 80s and 90s were scored by Michael Kamen, so they have elements that were typical for his style of music. Most instruments he used were classical, so in this particular scene it's just a good combination of piano, drums and brass instruments - I'd say "nothing fancy here", but if that isn't fancy, then what is? So, there is no special instrument creating this effect, but rather a combination of several.

[@Tr0nzoid]

There were about three times when Riggs and Murtaugh just happened to walk upon a suspicious incident.

[@MrTickleTrunk]

It's adorable that George asked the audience what the 🎵DunDun DUNDUN🎶 is. It happens to just be low notes on a piano, you sweet summer child.

[@marcelkuijper8240]

@@patrickdepew4976 This one was too similar to how they used those notes in Predator.

[@kurtwinchell]

It's often layered with low strings and sometimes even actual percussion, but yeah, it's the piano doing the work. The piano is often overlooked when people are thinking of an orchestral score, I think.

[@jhornacek]

The scene where Gibson and Russo are showing each other their scars is a homage to the scene in Jaws where the three leads are on the boat hunting the shark and they're sitting around the table and Quint and Hooper start showing each other their scars.

[@TearDownGenesis]

Landlord is actually not a term used in official titles anymore. Usually its "Property Manager" If ammunition catches on fire it wouldn't go off immediately, instead it would slowly head up the cartridges unless it gets so hot it ignites the powder inside, causing it to fire. It would be more of a series of pops rather than a single explosion, as each cartridge would fire, but wouldn't necessarily cause others to fire since it wouldn't really impact the temperature that much.

[@Michael-of6zf]

Lethal Weapon 4 adds 3 more popular actors to the cast. Actors who you would never think you see in a movie together. Gasoline is not flammable, its the vapors. You could actually throw a match in a full can of gas and nothing will happen. Why because in a full can of gas there is no oxygen. In order to set off the vapor you need two thing oxygen and a spark. Bullets do not have any spark to them. In movies with a trial of gasoline, you are missing 2 things, any vapor from pouring the gas on the street would have dissipated in the air and like I said before bullets do not have any spark in them, so 2nd you are missing the spark. Guns prouduce sparks not the bullet. . Mythbusters tested this myth before. "They take myths and replicate them to see if they are true or not. Here is a weird fact, there are more cases of sugar exploding than there are of gasoline explosions.

As many have said. Number four is amazing and complete madness as well but with an awesome cast. Great reaction guys

[@kevincamburn9248]

The fourth is definitely a good watch after this. With Lorna, Riggs’ arc just comes full circle and he’s in a completely different place from the start of the first. I kind of don’t want there to be a fifth. #1 because it just wouldn’t be the same without Richard Donner directing. But #2 any addition to Riggs’ character will just feel tacked on.

[@shawnmiller4781]

I think Mel was directing. But I am worried it will just be a money grab

[@JasonAkersMusic]

24:46 George, I think you’re talking about a Marimba. Michael Kamen used the marimba a lot in his action writing. The reason it’s so recognizable to you I think is because Kamen did a ton of action movies in the 80’s and 90’s. The Lethal Weapon movies, the first three Die Hard movies, the first X-Men film, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and The Iron Giant. Another guy who wrote a ton of music in the eighties for action films is James Horner. He was kind of unique in that he always used Steal Drums in his scores for the kinda cheesy 80’s films. He did 48 Hours one and two, Commando and Red Heat with Arnold and some others. He’s also the guys that did Wrath of Khan, Braveheart, An American Tale, The Legend of The Fall, Hocus Pocus, Aliens, and on and on. Both men were amazing composers. Sadly, Michael died in 2004 I think from cancer I believe and James died in 2015 in a plane crash that he was piloting. The art of film music lost major pillars on both occasions. You guys should check out some of their scores, especially Horner’s dramatic work. Such beautiful music always. If it weren’t for John Williams, who is the GOAT for sure, these two men, along with Jerry Goldsmith might have been household names. Not much you can do as a composer in the film business when arguably the greatest director in history decides to only work with not so arguably the greatest film composer ever. Those scores might have been cool if some others got a bite at that Apple. But, if so, we’d be without Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ET, and so on ad inifinitum.

[@MoonHowlerGaming]

National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon is an excellent spoof of Lethal Weapon 3.

[@MetastaticMaladies]

My cousins house burnt down and while we were there, we had to hide behind the fire truck because the ammunition he had inside was going off. So yes, if the brass gets hot enough then it will ignite the gunpowder and go off.

[@terrysilverthorn4582]

you missed it... there is a cutscene at the end after the radio transmission

[@jdnaz1288]

As far as ranking the first 3...I'd go 2,1,3. Though, all 3(as well as part 4) are all good - great films.

[@tripleswiss1823]

I also remember back in the days, this was the first movie where i realized that some movies have an after credit scene. I dont know if they where the first who done this.But ever since i always wait until the credits are done.

[@attorneyrobert]

If bullets are on fire, whether they go off depend on a number of factors. Ammunition has a casing, gunpowder sealed in a casing, a primer, and of course the bullet. The gunpowder is crimped to create a seal holding the bullet in and protecting the gunpowder (which makes them waterproof). It's the hammer striking the primer (or the softer metal igniting the primer via spark) that makes the rest of the gunpowder ignite. So it's unlikely that the sealed gunpowder would be exposed to a spark, but it is possible for an extremely high heat to ignite the gunpowder material and cause an exploding, causing the bullet to go off.

[@CineRam]

Big fan of this movie, it's my favorite of the four. I especially like the choice of an ex-cop turned criminal for the lead villain, and how that reflects Murtaugh's own insecurity about his post-retirement life. In the end, he avoids that metaphorical death by staying on the job. George mentioned liking this series better than "Die Hard" so far. "Die Hard" has had better longevity due to the greater amounts of time between films. There's been talk of a 5th "Lethal Weapon" but it's been over 25 years since #4, so I don't think a #5 is advisable at this point. You guys might enjoy seeing Mel and Renee Russo (Lorna Cole) co-star again in the Ron Howard film "Ransom". A very tense thriller.

[@michaelblaine6494]

IDK if it makes sense but IMO Die Hard is a better movie and LW is a better series. It’s hard to say though because the first movie from both are excellent,there’s no clear winner in the two. Actually it does make sense Lethal Weapon makes a better series maybe because they always paid attention to keeping as many of the same elements as possible,like consistently bringing back almost the entire cast every time etc. In the DH movies other than Bruce Willis it’s a different cast every time and a different location and is more like several versions of the same story that are all really well done(other than the fifth one of course)

[@CineRam]

@@michaelblaine6494 True. Lethal Weapon had most of the same creative team, including the director, for all four movies as well as the main cast.

[@SapphireBoy26]

Oooh! Great recommendation. I absolutely love Ransom, one of my all time favorite movies.

[@aimmethod]

Pesci stole the show, even though his role was repetitive.

[@Stevarooni]

Ammo set afire (not in a gun) will go off, but the case and bullet will separate with equal energy, so neither will be very dangerous. You don't want to toss a handful of rifle rounds into a campfire, but loose ammo isn't likely to kill people if it goes off on its own, without the shaping structure of a barrel.

[@SkullAngel002]

Take a pause here before LW4 and react to the hilarious spoof, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993). Guarantee you'll be on the floor rolling!

[@Moviemaniac28]

34:06 in terms of franchises you’ve seen three from this and two from the other, I would be curious to see if you feel the same after the third Die Hard

[@RedmoonIndustries]

When you guys get to it, the script for Die Hard 3 was almost purchased from Fox for Lethal Weapon 4. Ever since I learned that behind the scenes bit of info, in my head I think of how these characters would play in that movie.

[@ryanh603]

The music was done by the late great Michael Kamen who not only co-scored the music of all 4 LW films with Eric Clapton and David Sanborn, but he also scored the original Die Hard trilogy, Road House, License to Kill, The Last Boy Scout, The Dead Zone, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. His theme from Robin Hood was incorporated into production company Morgan Creek that used his music for every produced film throughout the 90s.

[@charlesdarwin9039]

[@IH8YH]

Ammo on fire. if the fire is hot enough and burns long enough, it will heat up the casing to a point when the gunpowder ignites and the ammo basically explodes, now since the bullet is not in a gun/rifle barrel, the explosion would cause the bullet to eject in a more or less random direction.

[@pauldourlet]

Other than the 1st one, the 4th is actually my favourite, such a great film. Obviously, Mel is a bit older and you can clearly see stunt doubles a few times throughout but nevertheless, Jet Li is awesome, Uncle Benny is hilarious, and Chris Rock and Joe Pesci together doesn't need any explanation it's already legendary lol can't wait for your reaction to that. Also, fun fact in case you or anybody else didn't know, Jack Travis played the Doctor in Hot Fuzz :D and Raphael in Mask of Zorro but that's by the by..

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

[@johnmaynardable]

The building that they blew was actually the old Orlando city hall, not just a court house. My sister worked in that city hall at the time, and still works in the city hall that replaced it. A few days before the explosion the production company came walking through the building. My sister said that Danny Glover was very friendly and talked to everyone, Mel Gibson did not. He stayed away from the real people and spoke to no one that wasn't part of the production team.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

28:25 ammo set on fire "cooks off", basically it goes pop pop as the gun powder explodes, but because it's not inside the chamber of a gun the casing can expand as needed meaning there's no pressure buildup and the bullet won't go flying. Not sure what would happen in those quantities but I'm pretty sure the same thing but in larger quantity since they are all "individually packed". So, mostly harmless firecrackers.

[@donrichards271]

Ammo in a fire will be set off but without the gun's barrel and chamber to confine and direct the blast, the bullet doesn't get enough kick to become a dangerous projectile. Also the cartridge can, and often will, simply peel back during the gunpowder explosion.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

Fun fact: Carrie Fisher was an uncredited script doctor on this movie.

[@chadl.4077]

Love your reactions. My eyes or something, has issues with the flares. Can't continue. Have fun!

[@Stefi-P]

[@campusmartius8450]

When you burn ammunition, the heavy lead or metal bullet won't go far, whereas the lighter shell casing will go flying but nowhere near as fast a bullet fired from a gun. It's also very light so there's no way it would be lethal.

[@bamzilla.]

"Word" comes from the 80's hip-hop slang "Word is bond"...which morphed into "Word is born"....to just "word".

[@nl817]

Mcclain in Die Hard 2, you said was strapped to a chair coming towards the camera as if he was a superhero. It was a seat/chair with an ejection mechanism like in a military fighter jet. Those things literally do launch you into the air and then deploy a parachute; nothing super hero about it. They're so strong they will launch a pilot through the canopy of a jet, knock the pilot unconscious, dislocate/break both their arms and shoulders etc, to ensure that that pilot survives and escapes the aircraft. Although I don't think you're supposed to use them while on the ground; it'd be better than dying to try it.

[@captaincran3940]

I just wanted to put in my 2 cents saying that i thought the lens flare/prism blur thing was a pretty creative work around. Im sorry so many people have issues with it, cause i like it

[@prollins6443]

Ammo can be overheated to the point it will spontaneously explode. The military calls it "cooking off". They had mentoined it in "We Were Soldiers" when the mortar crews stopped firing, due to the tubes being red-hot!

[@cobrian45]

Ammo dpes not ignite in a fire for quite some time. It takes a hot fire quite a few minutes to start popping them. In addition, it's usually the brass casing that blows up and flies off. You might get a little cut up, but the bullets don't fire like that would from a firearm. Also, lighting a trail of fuel by shooting it is really not reliable. Bullets usually don't create a spark or flame when they hit things. Maybe concrete or hard metal, but it's not common.

[@TreyM1609]

[@robertfarrington2716]

The bullets(ammo) in the back of the truck Riggs is driving have gun powder in each single bullet. Hence there is an explosion. Think of it as simple as lighting a fire cracker because a normal fire cracker has gun powder in it causing an explosion. That is the simple answer

[@mdpetty53]

To set the record straight...The building that was blown up was the old Orlando City Hall (not some other buildings that have been mentioned)..Back in the day I was an exec at Universal and I was invited down to the set by Richard Donner (he was a friend). I was there for the implosion and a couple of other nights (I was even talked into being an extra...I was a background paramedic.) The City of Orlando gave the producers such a deal on the building it was worth it to move the entire production from LA to Orlando for three days (and Tampa for a couple other shots).

[@zombiepicnic9683]

George brings up exactly my biggest issue with the Die Hard sequels. This era of action films really solidified the trope of each sequel has to be twice as big (and usually half as good) as the film that came before. Lethal Weapon didn't stray too far away from it's core themes and style. Whereas Die Hard not only abandoned the everyman of it's hero, but later the "wrong place, wrong time" theme as well.

[@backforblood3421]

24:24 That's a piano. Don't you hear how similar it sounds to Linus playing his piano in the Peanuts theme song?

[@cbobwhite5768]

Ammo explodes if it burns, but since the bullet weighs more than the casing, the bullet doesn't go flying. The case flies away or just explodes.

[@russellh.3150]

Riggs disdainfully mentions "Exxon" at one point near the end of the movie. For the youngsters out there, this was a reference to the devastating Exxon Valdez oil spill that occurred a few years earlier in 1989. Obviously, Exxon had a major PR problem afterwards. Love the channel!

[@marcogerner1134]

There is a video, either of the Myth Busters or an American fire department, where they set fire to packs of ammunition. The ammunition had ignited but the projectiles did not have enough energy to be lethal

[@BillTheScribe]

Ammunition will "cook off" if it gets too hot, but... Gunpowder doesn't explode, it burns. As it burns it makes a lot of gas. This gas increases the pressure in the system until something gives to release the pressure. Normally, the bullet slides down the barrel. as this happens the powder continues to burn increasing the pressure more, but the bullet moves, giving it more space to fill. This keeps the pressure at a more of less constant level until bullet leaves the barrel. For this reason, rifle powder burls slower than pistol powder, and putting the wrong powder in a specific type of cartridge can result in an overpressure where the bullet can't get down the barrel fast enough and the gun "explodes", usually at the action, which is bad for the shooter. When a round "cooks off" due to heat, the pressure builds until something gives, but the instant there anywhere for that pressure to go, it dissipates into the world and drops to normal air pressure levels. If you put a .30-06 rifle round on a hot plate and cover it with a cardboard box, nothing will leave the box. Rounds cooking off in the back of that truck would have been loud, but 6 to ten feet (2-3 meters) from the truck would have been basically safe. The big risk from fire is when a loaded gun is involved. The rounds cook off, but they are in a chamber, which means they basically fire normally. We once sucked up a .22 in our vacuum. These are rim-fire rounds and will go off easier than normal centerfire rounds. it was just as loud, maybe louder, than a normal .22, but nothing left the vacuum. It didn't even hurt it. We took it apart and found the bullet and casing. The case has split down the side.

[@bidwell13]

0:58 what’s funny is Mel Gibson does strip in this one with Rene Russo. 27:49 this was also during the time of the Exxon spill which was part of the joke. 28:28 yes when ammo gets a certain temperature it will go off. Years ago my neighbors garage caught fire and he was an avid hunter when the fire got to his ammo we could hear it going off. We were two houses away and my room was on the far end away from their house and it sounded like it was going off in our mud room. 35:57 would’ve loved to see your reaction to the final scene where they pull up to a building.

[@eduardoandres5989]

bullets when dropped in just the right way where the primer hits a pebble or something and detonates, or in a fire, or exposed to heat, can detonate, but, because they're not in a compressed enviroment, such as a gun, the gases and pressure of the gunpowder get dissipated all around it, so the casings which are way thinner and lighter than the bullets get torned apart, and so the bullets dont go anywhere pretty much, or just fall sort after little distance. They CAN hurt if you're unlucky enough to catch it in the eyeball or something, but....yeah...still......is loud, spooky and you should try and get cover behhing something solid in case you run across an exploding case of ammunition one day.

I'm excited to see you guys delve into Lethal Weapon 4. I'm certain somebody in the comments has mentioned this by now, but it was the breakout role over here in America for Jet Li. If I remember correctly, he didn't speak English very well yet so he was silent the entire film. A great movie that end one of Hollywood's few overall great quadrilogys. The only other series of films that I can think of that have gotten to their fourth entry, other than Lethal Weapon, and were still good is John Wick.

I get the feeling one of these days, Simone is going to show up on camera with a ball of yarn and knitting needles on her lap. 😆

I can't remember if you guys watched this but loaded weapon one. They did the most hilarious parody of that sex scene.

On the subject of armor-piercing bullets. Those Kevlar vests and trauma plates will stop small handgun rounds and even shotgun blasts. Once a rifle enters the picture, forget it, they won't stop a thing. The armor piercing handgun rounds, that might as well be rounds coming from a rifle.

Last training, I talked one of U.S. army Stryker APC drivers. AK-47 steel heart rounds do go thru Stryker's plate and he got grazed in Afghanistan when 7,62mm ap round came thru plating. So yeah, rifle calibre ap rounds... do go thru pretty much anything, especially in close range.
