[@janetnwonderland]

As others have pointed out, the psychologist explained that his wife of eleven years had died in a car accident six months prior. You may have missed it, it happens rather quickly. My favorite of the series is the second film. However, the series is so good that everyone has their own favorite, and it could be any one of them. I encourage you to watch them all and choose your favorite. And as always, love to watch your reactions.

[@merlinsclaw]

They actually commented on it when she said it. Then they forgot.

I noticed they missed all the exposition for Riggs deep depression.

You're not clever, or witty, but you are ignorant, rude and annoying ...NOT just to them, but to all of us who come here to see their FIRST TIME REACTIONS !!! The whole reason for reacting to movies and music in the 1st place, is to have NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of the things they are reacting to !!! Is that so really hard to grasp (that means understand) ???

[@CalicoCooperFan]

It's rare when a sequel is as good as the original or better. Lethal Weapon 2 is one of those instances. Agreed.

[@BoondockRoberts]

Watch all 4. They bring back the cast every time and it's very fun to watch the Murtaugh family grow up, the cast evolve and tropes get broken

[@pleutron]

some tropes are tropes because of Lethal Weapon

If you thought Riggs and Murtaugh had good chemistry in this, just wait till Lethal Weapon 2!! 😁 great reaction as always!!

​@@robertmielke3380 yesss loved it even more with pesci

[@thewanderingwizard9848]

​@@robertmielke3380came here to say this. Joe Pesci's character on his own is great, but he provides a foil for Riggs and Murtaugh that make their relationship even more enjoyable. The banter between all of them in 3 and 4 is amazing. Never forget Uncle Benny! It's fried rice, you plick!

[@MLawrence2008]

Please watch all four in order. You grow to love the characters, their relationships and the jokes such as Trish's car and cooking etc..... I am sure you will enjoy this series. Great reaction. :)

[@DriveHead]

Fun fact: actor Al "Ka Bong" Leong played Mel Gibson's torturer in this film and, a year later, played one of Alan Rickman's crew in Die Hard (the guy that eats the candy bars at the snack stand at Nakatomi Plaza). A year earlier than Lethal Weapon, he played a fighter for the Wing Kong faction in John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China (hope you guys watch that one soon)! Thanks again for getting around to this!

[@goodfellabadguy257]

As others have mention, you have to watch the entire series. The cast grows, the relationships evolved, and they get more and more reckless.

[@christopherdobinson710]

Love this movie! Important to note, Riggs actually pulled the trigger when Roger tempted him after the jumper. Roger saved him by blocking the hammer on his revolver. I didn’t notice that originally until years later. Pretty scary when you think about it. Riggs really did go through with the attempt to kill himself!

[@tuffs4it]

You never chance reverse psychology with someone who's potentially suicidal.

[@horsepower523]

Yeah Murtaugh managed to put that piece of skin that's between thumb and index finger between the hammer and bullet before the gun went off.

[@novembercherry4]

That’s why he said “oww”. Never knew that.

[@jjchmiel78]

Lethal Weapon is one of those rare franchises where all of them need to be watched. Character growth throughout with a nice conclusion at the end of the final film.

[@11DNA11]

5th one coming btw

[@stevedavis5704]

Just a thought for the future-when you start to offer merch make sure you get a t-shirt with a picture of Asia peeking over the top of her blanket like she did for this movie. It is a priceless look indeed.

[@thegorn68]

Another noteworthy thing about Lethal Weapon that most people miss - the nature of the soundtrack. Whenever you hear that lone blues guitar riff that sounds Clapton-Esque? The guitar plays whenever it's a scene about Riggs or when there's a focus on his character. What about Murtaugh? You'll notice Murtaugh is always scored by a saxophone. In their respective scenes before they meet, they'll only have their 'own' instruments playing, but by the time they start working together (like the pool house scene), the instruments start playing in a duet, playing together. Framing all of this, the string section frames the narrative and adds necessary suspense in action scenes. And that's why the soundtrack for Lethal Weapon is a freaking masterpiece. Thank Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton for that!

[@davidr1050]

My girlfriend of 37 years died of cancer in June and what Riggs is going through makes all the sense in the world to me now.. Every day it's hard to find a reason to get up and go on..

[@visiblepixels4632]

Great that you finally got around to this one! Lethal Weapon is kind of the "blueprint" for modern buddy cop movies. People sometimes assume it's a simple, funny action movie, but it's actually quite dark and the acting is genuinely good for this genre (especially Gibson). The second one is also a must watch.

[@Jules-um4yy]

Great choice guys!! All four of these movies are action packed and funny. The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is off the charts - perfect match up for these roles. Thanks so much for reacting to this one!🧡

The female police psychiatrist mentioned that his wife recently died in a car crash and that's why Riggs was possibly psychotic. It did go by pretty quickly, so it's not surprising that you missed it.

[@StevesFunhouse]

So glad to see you getting into this franchise. Can't tell you anything about them, but I'm pretty sure you'll want to follow through all the sequels. None of these movies ever get old, and I suppose that people will still be watching them 50 years from now, like we still watch the original Wizard of Oz, Miracle on 34th Street and other movies like that.

Glad you loved this one. You're gonna love the other Lethal Weapon movies. They are all great!

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

I will join everyone else in saying that you MUST watch the next 3! This is as much a family oriented movie as it is a buddy cop film. In fact maybe more. By the end of #4 you will just want to start over with them. Love you guys!

[@timometsanoja9666]

All four of these are priceless. And these are not just "one offs". The story around the main crime investigation keeps on moving and developing... And there are some very valid questions that you can come up with along the way and how they wrap this thing up and actually answer the questions is very rewarding... It is serious and fun and entertaining and the whole Riggs & Murtaugh thing is what the whole buddy cop movie is all about. Please keep on going, 3 more to go and plenty of great moments to experience.

Oh man! Everyone chooses Die Hard as the ironic Christmas movie, but this is it in our family. The music just does something for me, I don’t know.

I don't know why you'd consider "Die Hard" as 'ironic'. It's literally the same plot as "Home Alone", except with adults. The protagonist is trying to stop burglars on Christmas Eve using all his skills to foil their crime and hopefully make it to spend Christmas day with his family.

[@pleutron]

@@Mr.Ekshin or is Home Alone the same plot as Die Hard, except with a kid? Die Hard did come first :P

This makes me so happy! This is the best action team franchise ever. Glover and Gibson have the best chemistry. All four movies are great and with each one, you get more amazing cast members. I cannot wait for y’all to keep going with this ride. Also, if you haven’t seen it, Under Siege is great! More Gary Busey being crazy, lol. Plus, Tommy Lee Jones and the classic Steven Segal

[@Easy_Skanking]

One of the main characters in this movie is the music! Michael Kamen doing the compositions with Eric Clapton on guitar and David Sandborn on saxaphone. That is a trio of legends! I can't imagine this movie series without the music. The moods conveyed from just a few notes is nuts. It's a masterpiece of soundtracks.

[@ryanfeit1420]

Good reaction guys! Definitely watch the 2nd, 3rd and 4th "Lethal Weapon" films. This is a great series to watch and Gibson and Glover had great chemistry together. The first "Lethal Weapon" film made Mel Gibson a superstar and hearthrob. Joe Pesci was in all the sequels and he was hilarious in all of them. You guys saw him in "My Cousin Vinney". Chris Rock was also in the 4th "Lethal Weapon" film. Keep up the good work!

[@sonofthesea3298]

Im not sure if Mel and Danny were the first "mixed colour" duo on the big screen together,but hands down i have to say: They are the best to have ever done it! And they went on to make 3 more,theyr chemistry on and off the set is just that good. You can tell if you look up "Tribute to Richard Donner - Riggs and Murtaugh Reunite",alot of years later. You can tell that Mel and Danny both has gotten alot older,but the chemistry is still there. They just pick it up where they left it off in the movies. Mom adored Mel Gibson and the main reason was theese movies,thats also where she learned to know Danny Glover better and she loved him too. She went on to buy all theyr movies on VHS. Long live her memory. Cancer sadly took her away before she had gotten halfway in life. She was the reason why i discovered Mel Gibson,Danny Glover and the entire cast myself. Now whenever people say "Im too old for this sh**!",you know where they got it from🤣 And the best thing is,theyr families and such,everyone that is expected to stick with them in the other movies keeps rejoining the movies,thats how you know they created one of a kind chemistry with everybody on set. Its so common that people will jump off movies like that,especially if it turns out into such a long franchise. This one was from 1987,Lethal Weapon 4 released in 1998. Noone that didnt die in the movies decided to jump off the franchise. I wont say anything that can be more specific,as it will ruin the viewing experience,and that will just ruin reactions altogether. All im saying is,what you really hope is continuing to be a thing from this first one,they embraced and brought with them in the other movies. Both positive and sad. You 2 are in for a treat with the remaining 3 titles. And like mom said: several of the Lethal Weapon movies are also christmas movies,i dont care what other people say. We get somewhat of a pointer at the end here,where Murtaugh comes running out to invite Riggs in on some of that "lousiest christmas turkey ever" hahaha. You 2 eagerly wanted to know what happened to Riggs,thats why there are 4 movies with them. You get to know more and more for each movie you watch. Absolute genius little franchise right here. Besides typical 1 man franchises like Rambo,i dont think there is any "duo partner" movies out there that made it to 4 movies,most i can remember at the top of my head ended on 2 or 3 movies at the max. Then im thinking of Rush Hour with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as the closest franchise. Been some ongoing rumours of Rush Hour 4 being in the works for the last 7 years,so noone really took it serious anymore as the years went on,BUT late last year Jackie Chan told us this in early December: "The movie, which has been rumoured to be in the works for at least seven years, is now officially happening - and it has a script." But for now,Lethal Weapon is in a league of its own. And nomatter how Rush Hour 4 will do,i still think Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 and 4 are in a league of theyr own. So many actors tried to copy Riggs and Murtaugh in other movies,but somehow they didnt manage to create that chemistry Mel and Danny has (not hating on the duos that tried,i enjoyed theyr movies for what they brought,but it wasnt close to Lethal Weapon) I also like how they heighten any peoples performance in the movie,like how Danny Glover talked to the kid eye withness,how Mel Gibson approached the suicidal guy early on and so on. Often i dont buy into people trying to act out a "loose cannon",but as mom described it: Mel Gibson is scary good as being suicidal. We both bought into it right away,and we went on to watch the movies over like....pheew,im sure we saw them close to 20-30 times lol. I lost track on how many times we ran out of movies to watch together,and were like "Lets watch lethal weapon,its been awhile!". They are simply ..... THAT GOOD! Funfact: I crushed abit on Traci Wolfe back then playing as Rianne Murtaugh,the teen daughter. Another funfact: She was 27 years old in this movie,so basically her genes are off the chain,she really had me fooled for a teenager. Okay,a third funfact: When she got the confirmation that she would star opposite Mel Gibson in this movie,she cried of joy. Just an overall lovable sweetheart.

[@debramartin1583]

You guys are a joy to watch. Enjoyed this reaction very much. This series is excellent. The next one especially so. Thanks for the entertainment. I could watch you for hours. Bless you both!

I met Danny Glover and shook hands with him in early 2002 on Pine St. in San Francisco. Very nice guy. I saw him again in 09 at the Oakland Whole Foods Market but I left him alone that time. He's a bay area native.

[@manxgirl]

Here are 4 films with an engaging duo of main leads: 1) "The Rock" with Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery has an interesting team dynamic with the science geek and a convict trying to recapture Alcatraz. Ed Harris plays the antagonist. And his speeches and reasons for the choices he's made are some of the most engaging I've ever seen. 2). "Airforce One" has Harrison Ford playing the president of the United States. And he's trying to rescue everyone from the terrorists who have taken control of Airforce One. Gary Coleman gives his all as the leader of the terrorists. 3) In "The Negotiator" Kevin Spacey's dialogues with Samuel L. Jackson are very engaging he's the negotiator, trying to talk down what he believes to be a crooked cop holding hostages. 4) And in "The Patriot" Mel Gibson, again does a fantastic job as a father and reluctant soldier. And so does Heath Ledger, as his duty driven son.

Being a pew pew nut I catch a lot of things in action movies.🤣 I hope you react to the whole series. Also there are more die hard movies that are very good. And please don't forget probably my favorite, Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. Loved the reaction Thanks guys 🤗❤️

[@Divamarja_CA]

I don’t think this has been mentioned but the woman playing Murtaugh’s wife is the incomparable Miss Darlene Love. For about 25 years, she was the annual guest singer on David Letterman to sing her 1963 Christmas classic, “Baby, Please Come Home,” and now sings it on The View. She’s had an extraordinary career path, and I strongly recommend everyone watch the award-winning documentary “20 Feet from Stardom.” She was heavily featured in this doc about back-up singers and it’s fascinating.

Hey Asia and B.J. So glad you reacted to this. I loved it when B.J. said "FYI, don't ever surprise me with a birthday cake like that" . Keep on reacting to the Lethal Weapon series, I know you will enjoy them. Peace.

[@Agucci_1]

I love all 4 of these movies!! It’s rare that sequels are all good but I love these two together.

[@zacharyclark5617]

Mel Gibson is my favorite Actor/Director.

[@vickiekasafirek9096]

It's about time👍. Hope you do the whole series it's GREAT. Thank you💖

29:30 They mention what happened to his wife: she died in a car accident recently, they were married for 11 years. Watch the rest of these movies, they provide more context to Riggs' background and their relationships.

[@thew.i.s.ecommunity7986]

I'm so glad yall watched this movie. I forgot how much I liked the first one and how long ago it was when this came out. The sequels are very good as well. this was the movie that put mel gibson on the map.

[@kimcottingham8043]

Yes!!!! Best buddy cop movie ever!!

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

The 1st and the 2nd Lethal Weapons are magic. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are just perfect together. Danny playing the straight man and Mel playing the wild man, it just works so well. Joe Pesci's addition in the 2nd one was really good, but after that it started to feel bloated.

Rogers wife in the movie, was a back up singer for some of the biggest groups in the 60's and 70's. She just made it to the RNR hall of fame

[@kennymonty8206]

I love this old movie. Lots of great action scenes and an awesome partnership with Riggs and Murtaugh.

[@kyngjoe753]

Classic

[@fritzk3627]

Please react to all 4! It’s a great set of films❤❤❤

[@aaronsmith328]

Loved this reaction!!! I can watch this movie over and over... It's one of my favorites from back in the day. Keep 'em comin' ya'll... Love the channel!!!

[@rosemarywatson1231]

Good movie. I can't tell you how much I enjoy Asia's "Oh No" and BJ's "Look Look". I am enjoying watching movies with you all.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤

[@scottdarden3091]

Asia the therapist said in the beginning Riggs wife and child just died in an accident. I expect BJ to miss stuff, but not you.

[@vickiekasafirek9096]

It was just his wife. He had no kids. It's explained more in the 2nd movie.

[@Peggi109]

I can't tell you how happy I am that you got to Lethal Weapon movies. I LOVE all of them. ✌I love watching movies with you'. ✌Hi from NYC.

[@lisahumphries3898]

The last Lethal Weapon was #4 in 1998. They are now filming Lethal Weapon 5! 25 years later. ❤️

[@thefatman2780]

IM GETTIN TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT

[@charleswilliams6236]

They just don't make movies like this any more

[@seank1033]

PLEASE watch Lethal Weapon 2. I still say it's one of THE BEST action movies of all time. Underrated in my opinion.

[@wendell6468]

Fun fact: Darlene Love, the actress that plays Roger's wife, Trish, sings the Christmas hit, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).

[@smittybenzo4693]

I'm getting too old for this shh...

[@Takecareofyourbusiness]

Mel Gibson was Perfect in This role. You need to react to the whole franchise ! It's getting better and better.

[@twilli3673]

I love when Asia was throwing those uppercuts during Rigs fight with the bad guy it was funny!

[@tinahairston6383]

Riggs' "craziness" is what makes him so lethal outside of the fact that he's such a trained fighter. Now you have 3 more to go and the 2nd movie will answer your "what happened to his wife" question.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Part of a big slate of excellent action movies from the 80's, now classics: Die Hard, Aliens, Predator, Cobra, Terminator, Rambo, Red Dawn - too many to name.

[@gabriellin1352]

Glad that you both reacted to Lethal Weapon! Please react to all 4 of its installments. You gonna love it. These kind of cop movies rarely aged well, but Lethal Weapon stands out amongst the rest.

[@andrewmoreno782]

U gotta watch parts 2,3, & 4! You’ll get all the stories! The humor elevates through all of them!

[@mena94x3]

Lethal Weapon is one of those rare movie series where every movie is enjoyable and worth a watch. 🥰🥰🥰👍🏼

[@americanaforever6725]

Great “duo” thriller. “Shoot to Kill” with Sidney Poitier and “48 Hours” with Eddie Murphy are awesome 👏 too

[@michaelkeller4090]

This movie always brings back fond memories of my time in California. I lived across the street from the circular building at the very beginning of the movie. It is in downtown Long Beach.

[@user-sm2ql7nq4l]

The Original action Christmas movie that pre-dates Die Hard. And fun fact. Danny Glovers wife is Darlene Love, one a member of the girl group the Crystal's and she sang "He's a Rebel, and she later sang the classic Christmas song "Christmas, Baby Please Come Home"
