Fun fact about Lethal Weapon all the main characters in all four movies are the same actors. From Murtaw's wife and kids to the Captain.

No other movie series makes you feel like family than the Lethal Weapon movies. Murtaugh's family feels like my own second family.

I’ll always be a Lethal Weapon fan over Die Hard, although Bruce and Mel are both legends still today.

[@glenmcdonald375]

The last boyscout was better than both of them tho... imo

[@jdxsr85]

Mel brings 100% to everything he does. Bruce has been phoning it in since 2000. No comparison.

[@YankeeBlues21]

They’re an interesting contrast given their similarities. I think Die Hard has better highs (1 & 3 might be better than any LW movie with the possible exception of 2), but LW is the more consistent franchise, with all 4 being solid movies (or better), while Die Hard some stinkers mixed in.

11:56 Actually, if you look back at the scene, Martin really did pull the trigger. But Roger managed to stop the hammer from firing the bullet on his gun. Hence why he cried "Ow" in pain when his hand went to stop Riggs from offing himself. Not just a test. Roger actually saw how serious Martin was and then he realized that while he was at a whole different level, Roger also decided to pay more attention to that level of attitude he was getting from his partner.

[@ashscott6068]

Huh? I haven't seen the movie in a while, but I remember it being pretty obvious. Didn't he get the web of skin between his thumb and forefinger caught under tha hammer?

[@theradgegadgie6352]

I loooooooove your reactions! Lethal Weapon is such a great franchise! Glover & Gibson are perfect together. Kinda reminds me of Beverly Hills Cop where Eddie Murphy is the crazy, tough, street-wise Detroit cop & the Beverly Hills police he's with are straight shooters. Always such a great story line. You'd love all 4 Lethal Weapons.

Here's a pretty cool behind the scenes fun fact: You know the gun that Riggs uses is the Beretta M9 right? Not only that, but John McClane also uses that same gun in Die Hard. Icing on the cake for that fun fact: That's not just the same type of gun. That IS the same gun that was used by both actors for the filming of the two movies.

[@dacsus]

And even more interesting fact is that Willis was supposed to be in Lethal Weapon and Gibson was supposed to be in Die Hard: IMDb: Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis were considered for each other's roles in Lethal Weapon (1987) and Die Hard (1988), and both movies were produced by Joel Silver, with music by Michael Kamen. Willis was offered the role of Martin Riggs, but turned it down, and a year later he did Die Hard (1988). Gibson was considered to play John McClane, along with his co-stars from The Expendables 3 (2014), Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but they all turned it down. Coincidently, the script for Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) was briefly considered to be filmed as a Lethal Weapon sequel. Also, Riggs was supposed to die at the end of the first Lethal Weapon

[@mattb8961]

I heard that it was the Lethal Weapon 2 gun that was the same as Die Hard. The Lethal Weapon 1 gun was a Beretta 92 and the LW2 gun was a 92FS. The trigger guard is different.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I saw this in the theater with a family member who fought (and lost his legs) in Viet Nam, and he found Mel Gibson believable for a troubled vet. I love all four movies in this franchise, but have never seen the t.v. series yet.

[@glenmcdonald375]

The TV series is quite good. They casted well...

[@waterbeauty85]

I did tons of obsessive martial arts training when I was young, so I always wanted to see the goodguy badass and the badguy badass in action movies settle things mano a mano, so you cannot imagine how happy I was when, instead of hauling Joshua off to jail, Murtaugh and the other cops backed off and let Riggs and Joshua go at it. It's only in the movies, but in the movies, good vs. evil is more satisfying when it's distilled down to the symbolism of trial by combat.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

In the novelization, it mentions all the different martial arts styles they both used, including some the narrator doesn't recognize.

[@Hapkido82AUS]

Gracie's did choreography for that

[@dirks4093]

One of my all-time favorite movies. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are one of the best duos in crime fighting movies.

Roger's 'wife' is a famous singer. Darlene Love. She sang 60s classics like 'He's a Rebel'. You can also see her singing with Elvis Presley in his 1968 'comeback' special when he performs his gospel medley.

Yep, they're not the traditional yellow bow Christmas movies because they cover the other side of the holidays. The loneliness, sadness, depression, and how crime doesn't stop even during what's supposed to be the happiest season of togetherness of the year. Hmm... maybe we should consider them more Winter/Solstice movies than Christmas movies since they cover the darker, dangerous stories. Kind of a dark mirror thing

[@seanjohnson3920]

One of the greatest movie series EVER!! Highly recommend all 4 movies.

[@davidge5856]

Danny Glover's acting debut was in Clint Eastwood's Escape from Alcatraz, but he had a REALLY good year in 1985 when he got a small-ish role in Harrison Ford's Witness, a strong supporting role in Silverado (you guys need to check that one out - it's a solid western-action film and one of the few modern westerns to really live up to the old grandiose films of yesteryear), and Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple. He was 39 at the time. Two years later, at the age of 41, he was cast as the over-50 year-old Roger Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon, with Mel Gibson, who was 29 at the time, playing Martin Riggs, presumably around Mel's own age. Glover said that the Murtaugh role changed his life for the better, but also typecast him as someone slightly over the hill. So in an effort to change that perception, he starred in Predator 2, which showed off how physically fit and capable he still was, even at the age of 44. He's become something of a "working actor" since then, taking whatever gigs come his way, but he's still managed to make those roles stand out through the years. Still, he'll likely be remembered for the Lethal Weapon series, the first two of which were largely anchored by his character. The 3rd and 4th films kind of reduced him - in my opinion - to the comic relief/ brunt of the jokes, and while admittedly fun, they lacked the perfectly-balanced knife-edge of seriousness and comedy that made the first two films such unadulterated classics. Nevertheless, all 4 LW films are worth seeing, and the chemistry between these two characters/ actors never gets old. It's also a shame Mel turned into a drunkard and went off on a racist rant, but whatever his deeper motivations then or since, he HAS attempted to apologize and do better, and I hope there's no bad blood between these two. Apparently not, if Mel's going to be directing LW5, and Danny's agreed to be in it (personally I would LOVE to see them address the issue somehow). But whether that film happens or not, Glover's contribution to the series was fundamental - it literally wouldn't work without him. And for many Americans when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's - maybe I'm just talking about myself here, idk - this film series was one of the first that showed an African-American family in a "normal" light. The Murtaughs were middle class, educated, compassionate, family-oriented people, not shuck-and-jive stereotypes of the kind you'd find populating the action films of the 70's, and it showed a different kind of lifestyle for "average" African-Americans than the over-used "ghetto/ urban gangsta" image that populated so much of the media of the 80's and 90's. Whether Danny Glover deserves direct credit or not, it has to be said that the Lethal Weapon films were subversively ground-breaking in that sense, and likely opened the door for the Denzels, Wesley Snipes, Chris Rocks, Chris Tuckers, and today, the Chadwick Bosemans, etc. But it cracked me up when you guys were like, "Was he ever young?" Yeah, and Witness might be the youngest he ever looked in a major film, but they cast a 41 year-old man to play a 50 year-old man, so by the time he actually was over 50, he'd been doing "old man Dan" for quite a while. Sorry for all the words, but it cracked me up because it IS hard to imagine a young Danny Glover. Anyhoo, thanks for another great reaction/ review!!

Hate to even think of that day & just try to watch his movies & enjoy every moment I have with them & remember the moments I shared watching these great movies with my dad as well. Harrison Ford is right up there for me for my top male actors & Mel Gibson too. Those 3 are probably my Top 5 of older actors with Sean Connery, all wonderful men (and to me gorgeous as well lol ;) in their 30s or in their 60s!) and Morgan Freeman is there of course!!

It's always felt like a Christmas movie to me. Maybe because Murtaugh's family plays a large part in this. And there's a lot of genuine warmth and chemistry between the main characters.

[@RetrofanFilms]

Interesting fact: This film shares something with another franchise started by the film’s director Richard Donner (RIP); and it’s the Superman franchise. Both Superman: The Movie (1978) and Lethal Weapon (1987) were well received by fans and critics alike. Both did great business for Warner Bros. Studios. Both spawned three other movies. Each film tried to bring more humor to each successive sequel. But over time only the first film of each franchise is regarded as the best of the series. And that’s attributed to how good Donner was as a director. RIP Richard Donner.

[@jameseyman9078]

Really really hoping you continue with the series. Its the buddy cop franchise that all other buddy cop movies will be judged against. Its honestly one of the few series that actually do get better with each installment!

[@zardox78]

I'll happily refer to Die Hard as a Christmas movie, but Lethal Weapon feels more like a movie that just happens to take place near Christmas. Why? I dunno. During Die Hard ya never really forget that it's Christmas. During Lethal Weapon... ya kinda do for a good deal of the movie. And it doesn't really play much of a role in the story. The events in Die Hard only happen _because_ it's Christmas. The events in Lethal Weapon could've happened in June, and the only difference would've been the lack of Christmas music and decore.

[@jeffburnham6611]

I would have to think the definition of what makes a movie a "Christmas movie" is, it has to be about Christmas as an important part of the movie. Die Hard barely meets this criteria because the whole premise of the movie was John McClane flying out to California to be with his wife and kids for Christmas when things go bad. Lethal Weapon doesn't meet that criteria. None of the events in the film happened because it was Christmas (Amanda Hunsacker dying, the shipment of heroin, etc). It just happens to take place during the Christmas season, but the season itself isn't integral to the movie.

Rigs is like a samurai. Doesn't care if he lives or dies. Willing to go out trying to save the daughter. That's the only reason why their plan worked. And that's why the movies called lethal weapon. If Riggs were not suicidal he wouldn't have had the balls to do what they did:)

Hi from Australia girl friend! Met your kid watching Mean Girls the other day, little champion she is!

If a movie is set at Christmas time, it's often enough for us folks who don't like the more conventional family Christmas movies. I'm not as big on A Christmas Carol or The Polar Express, but I love me some Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. There are exceptions though. 'Scrooged' and 'A Christmas Story' are a little more traditional, while still being relatable and really funny, and also not-the-norm. Highly recommend.

So in your view of what makes a film a Christmas movie, would 'Trading Places' fall into that category? Personally I wouldn't make that connection, even though it is set around Christmas time.

@@jeffburnham6611 Up to you. I don’t think there’s an official qualifier. It’s not like there’s a Christmas genre per se, but some are more traditional than others. If it strikes you as a Christmas movie, I think it counts. Lethal Weapon and Die Hard were at the very least both made with a nod to more traditional Christmas movies (the one-liners, references, setting and music). For the characters, it’s Christmas, and for us, it’s a movie. Christmas + Movie = Christmas Movie? You decide. 😬
