LETHAL WEAPON (1987) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@jimtatro6550]

This movie perfected the “buddy cop” movie, the chemistry between Gibson and Glover is incredible in these films.

[@brandimurray1984]

Lethal Weapon is one of the rare franchises that hold up from start to finish, they are all great... I hope you do all of them..... Loved this react, you guys make me laugh!

[@tree6787]

I'm so happy you're going down the Lethal Weapon rabbit hole. I personally love all four movies and Mel Gibson is absolutely phenomenal in this role he brings so much emotion to this character it's outstanding.

[@iliyanamitova]

Me too... Please check them all out. :)

[@19Bearsfansince79]

Mel said part 5 is coming sometime with Danny Glover...

[@thegladve]

@@iliyanamitova I agree with that sentiment.

Did you try the TV show before they took it off I thought it was really good

Actually theres a total of about 7 Lethal Weapon movies so far..

[@Harri927]

I love the Lethal Weapon movies. Mel and Danny are amazing.

[@filipohman7277]

Same!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

[@ianjardine7324]

Gibson's portrayal of Riggs pain and hopelessness is beautiful and drives his character through the whole franchise and his friendship with Roger is the anchor which keeps him from going completely over the abyss.

[@alexbrunner1900]

Gibson and Glover have great chemistry and it’s my favorite buddy cop movie of all time.

[@ryanclark6402]

“Car angel” is somehow both one of most insensitive and most hilarious lines I’ve ever heard. Bless you both! 😂

[@angelagraves865]

The opening scene has never been so funny. Lol

[@clevelandcbi]

If you're a Cheers fan, she was Woody's equally not-too-bright girlfriend Kelly. Took me far longer than I'm proud of to realize that. In my defense, I wasn't focused on her face when I first saw it at 11.

[@ryanclark6402]

@@clevelandcbi 🎶”KellyKellyKelly…”🎶 Never would have caught that, but it definitely brought back a memory from childhood. Thanks! :)

[@clevelandcbi]

@@ryanclark6402 NOT a problem at all!!! I was watching reruns a few years ago, and realized she was one of the few characters I couldn't remember seeing in anything else since Cheers as a kid. When I saw this movie and "Amanda Hunsaker" listed on her filmography, I almost had a stroke. I saw sweet innocent Kelly topless 50x times and never knew🤣🤣🤣

[@laurabogar3956]

The jumper scene is the classic difference between '80's movies and modern movies. Today Riggs would be talking him down by sharing his own pain and developing a bond with the jumper. '80's movie Riggs just jumps them both down and solves the problem quickly and also with no one getting hurt. God, I miss the "80's. Lol.

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

Thats because blowing up a huge bouncy house generally doesnt happen in real life, nor do they usually have the time to set up something like that. Especially without the jumper noticing

[@tree6787]

This is absolutely a Christmas movie just like die hard is a Christmas movie.

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup.

[@ambermeanswell]

Agreed. My two favorite Christmas movies.

[@shainewhite2781]

"I'm too old for this shit." Roger Murtaugh. December 1986. Before Danny Glover was cast, Brian Dennehy, Robert Duvall, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Sheen, Robert DeNiro, and Jack Nicholson were considered for the role of Murtaugh. Patrick Swayze, William Hurt, Mickey Rourke, Christopher Lambert(Lamb bear), Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew Broderick, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, and Harrison Ford were considered for Riggs. James Earl Jones, Peter Boyle, Robert Duvall and Gene Hackman were considered for General McAllister. David Bowie, Christopher Walken, Brad Dourif, Willem Dafoe, and James Woods were considered for Joshua. The script was a lot different than the final cut of the movie: The opening scene was going to involve a helicopter chase involving Martin Riggs trying to stop a hijacked armored truck. A speedboat chase during a swimsuit competition. Riggs and Murtaugh going after the bad guys, who end up in a fiery crash, where the villains meet their end. This was also the original ending to The Last Boy Scout. And the climax was very different: It was going to involve a semi truck filled with cocaine blowing up over the Hollywood sign where it would rain down like snow.

[@reneedennis2011]

Thanks for the info!

[@iliyanamitova]

I'm glad Nick Nolte wasn't chosen. He and Eddie Murphy already are stars in a buddy-cop movie.. "48 hours" and a continuation..I believe.. Edited.

[@gutz1981]

29:31 "He looks like a man who can drive fast." Now you boys definitely need to see Mad Max 2 (and 1) now.

[@erinpauley9047]

Really hope you're gonna do em all! The whole series is worth the watch

[@-M0LE]

Yeah one every week

[@keshamassington5780]

The entire Lethal Weapon franchise is great! I would also like to suggest the Last Boy Scout. It’s one of my favorite movies. Bruce Willis and Damon Waynes are gold. Love you guys!

[@garyschwenk9654]

This is one of those movies where the sequel is just as good of not better than the original... It also digs deeper into Riggs backstory... Plus Joe Pesci

[@CChissel]

@Brad1980 for what reason?

[@anthonycameronnajera8471]

@Brad1980 no he is right, the sequel is better.

[@clevelandcbi]

@Brad1980 I like them all, but they 100% got way too cutesy as they went on. Even threw in goofy background music. 🤮

[@beguile302]

What others have already said, please do the whole series!

[@sweetkiss119]

You better do all of these. They just get better and better.

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

Nothing better than Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the 80s!!🤘🤘

[@R-L-I]

I would sit here and watch this entire reaction but _I’m getting too old for this sh-_

Stuff. Said you were too old for this stuff!

[@bjtight98]

Nice!!!! 😂😂

[@geminiacleo7ewe]

aaahhh!!! 👍🏼good one!

[@terriertz5134]

Lol 🤣

[@johncampbell756]

One loft the biggest lines in the film is, "I'm too old fur this shot." Both Danny Glover and Mel Gibson were about 10 years younger than their characters. Mel was only 13 in 1969, a tad using for Nam. The series (4 total) adds more comedy as it goes. The most ridiculous part of the film was the ending fight. Murtaugh's wife is Darlene Love who is a signer and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She sang a bunch of hits in the 1960s including "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)." I've seen this film enough that I know that Dixie's house explodes themoment the plane in the background reaches the fireplace. I wonder if anyone on that flight saw that explosion. The guy who holds Riggs at gunpoint at the beginning is the father of Anthony Kiedis, singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[@SpiritedSagi]

This whole series is fantastic!

[@mjkjelland13]

The Lethal Weapon franchise is absolutely awesome, can't wait for you guys to react to the rest them.

[@Number0neSon]

The Lethal Weapon movies are amazing (at least 1-3 are). Gibson and Glover have amazing chemistry together. You guys are in for a treat!

[@deano2506]

I felt 4 was a stronger film than 3 but it's all subjective.

[@heikira438]

I have a soft spot for 4 because of who plays the villain:) The legend himself.

[@MrCageCat]

4 was also great, stop hating.

Second time in a row that I'm rewatching your old reactions and as soon as I finish then a new one pops up. Sleep can wait!!

[@scottcunningham799]

Another great reaction guys. Definitely hope you react to the rest of the Lethal Weapon movies. They're all pretty great.

[@williamsummerson1204]

I'm really happy that you guys are going down the lethal weapon rabbit hole. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover make the perfect buddy cop duo in my humble opinion. This one is definitely the darkest with some humor but they get funnier as the series goes along. My favorites are 2&3.

[@zzzroxyzzz]

Yeeeeeessssss!!!! This makes my crazy day so much better, they're all awesome in their own right I hope hope hope you guys do them all you won't be disappointed!!

[@johnpittsii7524]

[@babzcovington492]

i am so glad to be here so early tonight...old woman , early fan , clocking in...

[@bgreen9356]

I'm a Vet and the ending is more of a brotherhood who's the best of the best type thing. So Riggs and Joshua who were both crazy in their way and ex Spec Ops had to see who was the Alpha. Great movie.

[@EdmanXERO]

Plus, I felt it was a way for Riggs to get his demons out of his system. He needed some kind of catharsis after the death of his wife.

[@AthanImmortal]

The Vietnam outfit called Air America that Michael Huntsacker refers to when talking to roger was also made into a film around the same time, also starring Mel Gibson along with Robert Downie Junior, it's well worth a watch, same tone as Lethal Weapon, comic but laced with a bit of reality. Worth you guys putting on your list too.

[@lilrod20]

Murtaugh-HEY COME HERE Riggs-Come Where? Murtaugh-HERE WITH ME My favorite line lmaooo

[@McD5791]

@ 17:20 - that's a cold ass line, right there Murtagh: "Rheann, get the dessert..." Octokrool: *"she's looking at the dessert!!"* 😁

[@willcool713]

Might be Mel's best role. Incidentally, I think jumpers actually are sometimes referred to as "blood angels" when they land right, because they leave a gruesome outline. This whole franchise is fire. If you like this one, you'll like them all.

[@andrewsawyer1375]

One of the best movie series to watch.

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

I hope you guys watch all for of these. They're all a fun time. I remember seeing the 4th one in a crowded theater. One of the best movie going experiences I ever had.

[@deano2506]

I'm so glad you lads have got to the lethal weapon films. I'll echo what others have said and recommend all 4 films, there really isn't a bad one.

[@donaldgilbert6739]

[@miavega8888]

I love the whole LW series! Its awesome! Enjoy and yes I watch this one at Christmas as well. It is a Christmas movie!

[@celeboria]

Great choice guys! If you are doing the whole series now, make sure you watch "Loaded Weapon" (1993) after Part 3. It's hilarious and is a perfect follow up!

[@stevekongliew8305]

Great reaction as always!! Another classic. Rumor has it... that a new Lethal Weapon has gone in production. ( Dir. Mel Gibson ) both Danny Glover and Mel Gibson reprising their roles.

[@omegashark1837]

7:03, Mel Gibson is an avid Three Stooges fan, he references them quite a few times like this throughout the movies.

[@-M0LE]

I’m British have never seen the three stooges but I still knew that lol

[@-M0LE]

Also Homer Simpson did it

[@jessewilson5510]

Please do Part 2. A lot of reactors stop after this one, but the second one is arguably even better.

Great reaction to a great movie! I hope you continue with this series, I'll be looking forward to it!

[@ryanmckenna3503]

I do feel like I grew up with the Murtaugh family.

[@orangeandblackattack]

I always love your generation's appreciation for what we saw in theaters years ago as well-done films. We talked about this for weeks in school after seeing it in theaters. This and Beverly Hills Cop were conversations for weeks. We were so lucky to have these great films in the 80s. Great reaction!

[@randyhochstein8455]

While there’s something to be enjoyed in all of the Lethal Weapon franchise, this will always remain my favorite. Riggs having that “I’ve got nothing to loose “ attitude actually made him more lethal. Good reaction guys. ✌🏼😎😊

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Gibson and Glover are the pinnacle of Buddy Cop duos! All four are good, but #2 is my favorite, I do hope you cover them all!

[@DEATH111183]

"Soon as you fuck with someone's family, All bets are off" You guys REALLY need to watch the sequels now, at least the second one, kinda brings the messing with family into play, no spoilers beyond that

[@heikira438]

All of the Lethal Weapon movies are really entertaining. My personal favorite is 3 and I have a soft spot for 4 with who plays the villain:)

[@bjtight98]

Alright!!!! I'm glad yall finally got to.this movie 🎥 🤗

[@Knight-Bishop]

I was still years late to this and remember how unique I found how they introduced Riggs. Oh he's good, he's funny, he's such a badass that he rescues himself from a hostage situation-- But unlike a lot of clichés of the era preceding it, it then IMMEDIATELY tells you why he didn't care about getting shot in less than some blaze of glory. That would've ordinarily been some middle-second, or crux of the third act, sort of thing. And they get away with presenting someone with nothing to lose right away, by pairing him with someone you start off knowing and then getting the implication of what he could lose. It's a classic formula, and not the first of its kind, but it sort of became the definitive model for adapting the tv buddy cop trope to the big screen, when it really made a difference.

[@borla4491]

Next: Die Hard Series, Gone In 60 Seconds (2000, and 1974), Need For Speed, The Car(1977), Christine, Bad Boys 2 and 3, Twister(1996), Back To The Future series, Superfly (1972), Live And Let Die(1973)

"Why would you confess to lying in bed alone and crying?" This was the first domino that was knocked over in the 80's toward wokeness. Once we got in touch with our emotional side, there was no going back. More and more dominoes were to fall quicker and quicker until 2022

[@cvtuttle]

That "Hate him back. It works for me." Line I have always loved.

[@irishinnj72]

This was the first movie Mel Gibson had done after a 3 year lay off from making movies. He took the time off, to get sober, his drinking had gotten bad and his wife was threatening divorce. So he stopped making movies to get sober and managed to stay sober for nearly 20 years, before his epic drunken rant on two Cops, who pulled him over on suspicion of DUI in 2006.

[@ccjtv809]

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

In my opinion, the movie where Mel Gibson really shows how well he can act is Conspiracy Theory (1997). It's one of these great movies few people have even heard about.

[@Mugthraka]

THE buddy Cop movie The Banter between the two is great. Mel Gibson is a natural when it comes to damaged/unhinged characters (wich seeing his tendencies can explain a lotta things and depsite what anyone says he is still one of my favs actors)

Why do you say your "common sense" tells you they've seen it? Do you think common sense is like Spidey sense? Unless you've got some super powers or watch them in their home 24/7... there is no way to know if they have seen it and are faking it for a reaction.

[@garryiglesias4074]

Mel is a fantastic actor... This scene, when he breaks down about his wife is one of the most impressive in history of acting. I love this man. BTW, the "director's cut" is better, I mean, I prefer it to this cut: Rigg is introduced with another cool "crazy" act, saving kids from a shooter in an elementary school. I miss this scene now.

[@calliestephen]
