Michelle’s & Natalie Merry Christmas 🎄✝️ and to everybody else Merry Christmas or Hanukkah

[@jonboldrey5339]

Yeah they do more family stuff in sequels😉

[@Cadinho93]

"We're back, we're bad, you're black, I'm mad." The Lethal Weapon franchise does a great job of building a world. Each movie adds to the next as they blend comedy and action so perfectly well. Also, this is one of those rare series where every sequel is solid. I'm 100% sure you'll enjoy the last 2 as well.

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Thanks!

[@ianjardine7324]

​@@ForceOfLightEntertainmenthe plays such a different character from Tommy in Goodfellas but Joe really makes his mark as a comic actor here.

[@robpr315]

This tagline was big with the trailer because it was playing off of Michael Jackson's recent hit "Bad" and Mel Gibson being Mad Max.

[@ablazindevilhead]

As far as the family element of these movies, it's all about the family. Maybe not the traditional family, but an ever expanding extended one. Richard Donner approached these movies with that in mind. He kept all the actors and crew who all returned for each film. Donner himself paid out of his own pocket for the end credits in LW4 that showed all the members of the crew. WB wouldn't pay to honor the crew like that, so he put up the funds himself. He just believed in his family.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

“… and the moment is right…” The look and laugh from Michelle had me rolling when she knew Roger wasn’t going to be pleased 😂😂😂

[@naelar13]

Another terrific reaction! Can't wait to see you react to 3 and 4. :D Merry Christmas, ladies!

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Ladies the slur that the bad guys were using throughout the movie was kaffir. Which is a horrible racial slur. That was what made Roger's comment at the end kind of funny. When he said the lead bad guy was decaffeinated. You two are a lot of fun to watch and are adorable. Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Stay safe and well.

Jet li too!

[@jamesHazel-b2n]

After watching the LW movies. Die Hard etc a funny parody that pokes fun at all these films is Loaded Weapon 1.

[@TheBriguy33]

So glad you ladies watched part 2. I still enjoy this 1 just as much as the first. To answer your question, you do get more of the Murtaugh family element in part 3, it's quite a good story. The chemistry between Riggs and Murtaugh is quite good in these films. You also were curious about another love interest, but I won't give anything away :) I loved how you both cracked up at the commercial scene, and this 1 did have more humor with the addition of Joe Pesci. Always a joy to watch your reactions and Merry Christmas 🎄😊

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@bkboy2384]

All 4 have so many great moments and rides

[@matthewrogal1552]

Joe Pesci's character(Leo) was one of the best comic reliefs in movie history. Funny how after this he played a bunch of tough guy rolls. ie Casino and Good Felles. What a contrast. Fun fact...he created the " okay, okay, okay"which was not in the script, from young teenage girl lingual he observed while on vaction at disney land.

[@IggyStardust1967]

This whole 4 movie set is the perfect kind of character progression, storytelling, action and (forgive me for using this word) tenderness that you could ask for from a "family film". Some people only like specific movies from the set, but I frankly love them all! The entire story comes "full circle" in many ways. I make sure to watch all 4 movies at least once a year.

[@Phaota]

Did you notice Jeanette Goldstein in the precinct during the straight jacket escape scene? She played Vasquez in "ALIENS" (1986), a vampire in "Near Dark" (1987), then some small roles in "Max Headroom" (1987), "Miracle Mile" (1988), then LW2 and finally the stepmother to John Conner in "Terminator 2" (1991). What's stranger is that she is playing as literal extra in the film since she doesn't have any voice lines until her death. "ALIENS" was in 1986, so she should be an extra in any film after that. Patsy Kensit played Rigg's girlfriend that dies. She was the former lead singer for the excellent 80s band, Eighth Wonder, before moving on to acting. The first and second "Lethal Weapon" films are a perfect combination of action, comedy and drama. Very much like Jackie Chan's "Police Story 1 and 2", which are technically one whole film. They are a must watch for you gals in the near future since you love the two "Lethal" films. All of Jackie's movies from the 80s and 90s were absolute classics.

Lethal Weapon 4 is my personal favorite, but I do like all of them. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

[@wamingopublishing674]

With the introduction of Leo Getz, the three stooges are complete. I remember reading somewhere that was the director’s intent.

Make sure you ladies finish the franchise!!!!! My personal favorite of them is Lethal Weapon 4 but all are top notch.

[@awall1701]

Natalie, Michelle, I really enjoyed your Lethal Weapon 2 reaction. You both had so much fun with this one. I hope you continue with the franchaise. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas.

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@jamess885]

This is one of the rare francishes where every movie is good. Also, in each movie they add a new character which usually kills the dynamic of the main characters, but they made it work.

That's two Bromance movies I've seen from y'all today. First Die Hard and now Lethal Weapon 2. Feeling the bromance. I feel like y'all liked this one. Can't wait to see y'alls Lethal Weapon 3.

There is definately plenty of family stuff in the next 2 movies. You'll enjoy

[@Stevarooni]

Merry Christmas! Glad you're enjoying this series. 🙂

[@jishin75]

First of all, Merry Christmas to you and thanks for you reaction to this movie. I'd say this is my favorite one because of the pacing and the characters, but just for a bit. Joe Pesci was a nice introduction and the closure of Martin's tragedy with his wife. Also, being a teenager when this came out and Patsy Kensit together were an explosive mixture 🤣

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@petequesada2936]

The whole franchise is fun to watch.

Love you both lethal weapons 1 2 in my top 50 movies

[@mervinmerencio6861]

Lol, sorry, ladies, but they’ve been playing the sacks off and on since the beginning of the movie. You haven’t noticed it because the movie is action packed.

[@goatvoicestwin1859]

Hey girls!! Merry Christmas to you!! Great reaction! Glad you are enjoying the franchise so far. I'd say the next one is my favorite...more action, touches the heart, and of course more Riggs and Murtagh. Some of the greatest If not the greatest chemistry in movie history

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

@@goatvoicestwin1859 Merry Christmas!! 🎄

[@CocacolaBoy83]

the next one is more like the second one than the first one, it's a nice conclusion IMO, there are both family scenes and action. And just a info, something that few people know, in the third movie you have to get to the end of the credits and an extra of the final scene of the movie appears.

[@thebrentrobinsonshow2882]

The first Lethal Weapon was the best. Great reaction video.

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Thank you!

[@CaviteñoCavalrymanChe]

Cannot wait until you watch part 3 and ultimately 4. Because they are all interconnected and are a fun ride that we do not get anymore! Not sure what to expect from the 5th movie, but hoping it holds up to what built the franchise, and made it successful!

[@mervinmerencio6861]

This movie was made during the time when apartheid was big in South Africa

[@ricardopalaciosfreitas6254]

[@m00nwa1ker]

Lethal Weapon 4 is my favorite movie of the series, good that they ended it with it, too.

[@Telkor]

The guitar plays when Riggs is on the screen, and the Sax is for Roger.

[@SFOlson]

I really like these first two Lethal Weapons, I distinctly remember seeing both of them as a kid in the theaters with my parents. I think I even prefer this one a little more than the first one. And in case you didn’t recognize them, the actor who played the South African goon who was killed for losing the Krugerrands, and the actress who played the female cop who was blown up on her diving board, were the same actors who played Drake and Vasquez in Aliens.

[@top_gallant]

Riggs includes the onion skin in his chilli.

[@ChrisW164]

The first two movies are better but I always preferred the third and fourth, they're just loads of fun.

[@alancoy5305]

Great reaction to the greatest Lethal Weapon film. I love the plot twist and stakes in this film. It is definitely better than the first. Hope you both have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. If you both want another movie starring Joss Ackland (Arden Rudd) the bad guy as another antagonist. I recommend "Nowhere To Run" a great 1993 action caper starring Jean Claude Van Damme as the films protagonist. The film also stars Rosanna Arquette, Kieran Culkin and Ted Levine. A great action thriller. Finally, if you want to see another harrowing but well done film. I recommend "Breakdown" a 1997 thriller. It stars Kurt Russell, Kathleen Quinlan and the late J.T. Walsh. Both are very well done films! Thank you Natalie and Michelle for the reactions.

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Thanks!

[@paulwhittaker5494]

Patsy Kensit's movie reseme is lacking, but she sure adds class & sex appeal to the movie & the inclusion of Joe Pesci was a stroke of genius from the casting directors!... ~ ( Hoping you continue on the Lethal Weapon train, as the next 2 are a blast as well... ) ~ Also part 5 is still said to be in the works, under the helm of Mel Gibson himself...

[@paulconnett3654]

Some cheesey lines with good fun and violence plus things blowing up. And Patsy Kensit who was the love/lust interest. I've had a major major crush on this lady since first seeing her in the 80's. Michelle and Natalie I'm pretty sure you will enjoy the others even with the cheesey lines. Another lovely flash back so Thank You and Cheer's Beautiful Ladies.xx Plus Merry Christmas and Exorcist 3 in the new year would be marvelous.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

Hollywood doesn't want to make movies like this anymore, and it's their loss. But thanks to physical media, we can enjoy films when Hollywood actually did care.

[@ryanmathison3608]

The third installment is my favorite. Rene Russo joins the family paradigm.

[@mrtim5363]

The family dynamic gets stronger not weaker & I like 3 & 4 more than 1 & 2 & I really like 1 & 2. Do not stop, carry on. You will not regret it. Have a wonderful Holiday.

[@Ilurk247]

It's a toss up for me between which one is the best between 3 and 4. Both are good. Weird thing, they won't/can't show this one on regular tv because it shows actual Krugerrands. If you know the history of that then you know why.

[@donrichter3523]

Merry Christmas Natalie and Michelle!

[@flintybraz1]

Yes!!! Better than #1. My favorite action movie after Die Hard.

[@eddie_77]

Joe Pesci did a back to back movie blockbuster movies in 89: first it was this one and then he did Home Alone 1.

[@javix2013]

Minute: 11:51 Die Hard building in the background.

[@BigGator5]

"Diplomatic immunity." "IT'S JUST BEEN REVOKED!" This is, in my opinion, the best of the franchise. When people think or parody the Lethal Weapon franchise, they're really thinking or parodying this movie above all others. Fun Fact: The body count is thirty-three, the highest of the Lethal Weapon franchise. What Script Fact: Jack McGee ad-libbed his line about the condom commercial during rehearsals. The cast and crew liked it so much, it was kept in the film. Historical Fact: Despite the film's "Free South Africa" stance, it was passed uncut by the South African censors and became a major financial success in that country. This wasn't much of a surprise, since apartheid was already on the outs anyway and ended on June 17, 1991. That's Hot Fact: Patsy Kensit claimed the sex scene was great but also kind of disappointing. While she had to strip for the scene, Mel Gibson was allowed to keep some things to himself. She confessed: "When we did a love scene, I was buck-naked, but he had his modesty pouch thing. So I didn't see it, and I didn't look. But he was a great kisser."

She's of the few actors/actresses 2 be almost killed by the big 3 , predator terminator and alien ( she wasn't killed by a predator)

[@ForceOfLightEntertainment]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@zmarko]

Riggs was actually supposed to die at the end of this film, but the studio asked Shane Black to rewrite the ending.

[@Jay_Sullivan]

This editing really made Mel's Australian accent stand out. I remember it being less prominent in the sequel, but this is making it sound worse than in the original. The first one is clearly the best. The rest drop drama for humor, are more preachy, and don't feature the main characters getting to know and like each other as you're getting to know and like them. All 4 are enjoyable, but the first is the best.

[@nedvva]

all 4 movies are amazing

[@BrianMac2601]

If you enjoyed leo, dont worry, you've not seen the last of him.

[@stevepoppiti309]

3&4 more story lines more characters and more laughs

[@heatherqualy9143]

I saw this one first. Absolutely fell in love with it. It is definitely my favourite of the series. Because of the humour. But I honestly like all 4 quite a bit. Most people that like the first one best, seem to have a movie watching trait I don’t: they enjoy straight-up action movies. The first one is the most like a plain-old action movie. If you like Predator, Rambo, things like that even a little, I can see liking the pure action of the first movie best. I have zero interest in those movies. And STILL liked the first Lethal Weapon. Because they’re funny, and all so well done. And again, you’re not alone. A lot of action aficionados, guys especially, rank the first one higher.

[@Derk-ei3co]

There are no misses in the entire lethal weapon franchise

[@anguswilliam2141]

That young one on Riggs - way better than anything but old Red there. Omg..... She's amazing.

[@OneVoiceMore]

Hard to spot, maybe, but Drake and Vasquez, the colonial marines from "Aliens" are reunited in this cast.

Gibson other great films Air America with RDJr Ransome Payback

[@charlesmaurer6214]

You might want to watch some Larry Fine, Moe and Joe Howard before the next one. There also Shimp Howard and one other that were in the trio at other times. I do know just one had 4 with the fourth as an extra. Better known as the Three Stooges. Many are shorts and you don't need to do many but their classic comedy does feed into the next one. Again Merry Christmas.

[@stevemchale9775]

You slid of your chairs from a shirtless Mel in the first one.

[@T-Rex_007]

❤️👍🏼 If Natalie decides to make the meatballs how about substituting Krustaez Belgian waffle mix for Bisquick. Maybe I would attempt one day if sent the recipe. Is it just me or does Joe Pesci as funny he is in the this one, become the Jar Jar Binks of the Lethal Weapon franchise 🤔❓ As far as my favorite Christmas movies comedic ones tied between CHRISTMAS VACATION and CHRISTMAS STORY and regular IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE and I hope one day I will be blessed to feel like George Bailey did at the end of film. SIDE NOTE: IMO DIE HARD is not a Christmas movie because the holiday is not the central focus with that spirit. It is an action movie that takes place during Christmas. I love it and some sequels
