[@Ninaofthe90s]

@@Michael-dy2lb SPOILER for 3 and 4 how about character development. Every movie builds up the characters. The realtionship between Riggs and Murtaugh is getting even closer in the third movie. And Lorna for example, Riggs falling in love with her and them being in a relationship. The fourth movie begins with them being together and Lorna is pregnant. What's the point if you don't even know who she is. And even if it's the worst one...it's such a strong franchise. They are all worth watching. Even if the plot isn't the best - the characters of Riggs and Murtaugh are always the strongest parts of the franchise.

Adding Joe Pesci to this duo is the cherry on top! 👌

[@otisroseboro5613]

Exactly 💯

[@Ninaofthe90s]

The friendship between Riggs and Murtaugh is one of the most beautiful friendships I have ever seen. You see how much they care about each other...when Riggs wouldn't leave Murtaugh during the toilet scene. And when Riggs says he's not a cop today because it's personal. That means it's personal for Murtaugh as well. ❤❤

[@15blackshirt]

The actor playing the Captain is also in Predator 2 and Demolition Man, while the actor playing the main villain is also in the second Bill and Ted film. Besides these films, Richard Donner also directed the original Superman and The Goonies. Danny Glover immediately followed this up with Predator 2, while Mel Gibson followed this up with Maverick. Leo Getz is played by Joe Pesci, who's also been in Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Home Alone, Home Alone 2, My Cousin Vinny, Casino and The Irishman

[@deepnthought.]

And in Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson also. I don't think anyone else had notice, but he had a small part in the first Superman movie as a detective chasing down Lex Luther around the train scene. Richard Donner had also directed Conspiracy Theory

[@keefriff99]

According to Wiki, the Captain (Steve Kahan) was a cousin of Richard Donner…that’s why he was in so many Donner films.

[@hellomarysuegoodbyeplot2193]

Maverick and Superman II were both Richard Donner as well.

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

The end credits with George Harrison's Cheer Down playing in the background, while the camera pans out to the sight of the port as the sun rises is one of the most evocative closing sequences I've ever seen. It combines the moving quality of the song with an odd sense of nostalgia, which has never failed to draw me in from the first time I watched the movie in the theater!!!

[@davestang5454]

That type of shot technique was nothing new when this movie was made. It's been used in both the opening and closing shots of movies. "Cheer Down" was really the best part of the closing credits. It fit in perfectly with the story because it's saying, in so many words "No matter how bad it may seem, it's going to be alright".

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

@davestang5454, I didn't mean to suggest the pan was innovative or a different kind of look, just a very engaging vista, which tied into the overall feeling of the sequence, IMO. If it's of interest to you, there are at least a couple of clips of just the end credits on YT which have elicited quite a number of interesting comments along the lines of what I've said.

[@carlitomontana1100]

You definitely nailed it with your comment man! Pun intended😂 I've felt exactly the same way from the first time I saw it in the theater too!

[@bobblebrad]

The joke the other cops played on Murtaugh was building him a "rubber tree" plant. It's a good joke on the surface because of the commercial starring his daughter, but when you consider the bad guys are South African, it takes on a deep symbolism that most people don't get. Solid gag and reference.

[@cameronrobinson3933]

You two have become my two favorite reaction movie watchers. And that's for two reasons. One is that I genuinely believe that you haven't seen the movies you say you haven't seen and you're honest if one of you have seen it. I think that's the most important thing to me I don't want to watch a reaction video from somebody who is super familiar with what they're reacting to. But more than anything else you two both seem to have a love of cinema in a way that I don't see very many other reaction channels have. And I like a lot of channels. But you two seem to have a genuine love of the actual mechanics of Cinema in you talk about things in terms of lighting and camera work and writing and other things that make me think of all the reaction channels that I watch KZbin would be my favorite actually sit down and have a beer with.

[@RopeDrink]

Every movie in the franchise has everything you could want. Great action and pacing, but with plenty of time to breathe. Laugh-out-loud comedy, but with no shortage of tender moments and relatable drama. The acting and chemistry are off the charts, and there's no shortage of scenes or stuntwork to inspire filmmakers, all backed by a nice unimposing soundtrack. Looking forward to your reactions to Lethal Weapon 3+4!

[@Pyrochase]

In the original script they were going to let Martin die at the end of the film. It was a last minute decision to let him live. They honestly thought the series wasn’t going to continue. Glad they kept it together. Great character chemistry, such a deep family love for one another, and it gets even deeper in the later films. They are not just partners, or friends, they truly become brothers. Such a great franchise.

[@davestang5454]

It may have been resolved with test audiences. This has happened with may movies. A test audience hates the ending and they end up reshooting it. Reshoots are commonplace when they have the money.

[@marc.ristau]

Love the way films were shot back then. All practical sets and effects and the focus on cinematography. Everything feels really grounded

[@davestang5454]

And all the stunts actually obey the laws of physics.

[@HABO2210]

"Fun" fact: originally, in the ending Riggs was supposed to die. But sequel money was too strong incentive to go down that route.

[@cambodianz]

The absolute best entry of the franchise. The last one written by the great Shane Black.

[@rollmops7948]

[@maisiesummers42]

She's Jenette Goldstein. Always fun to see her pop up.

[@maisiesummers42]

37:18 - Mythbusters tested that scenario, including pouring liquid nitrogen over the bomb. They found that the tub probably would provide enough protection from the bomb, though both of them would be deafened by the blast. They also found that pouring liquid nitrogen over both the explosive and the battery delayed the bomb's explosion for _15 minutes_ meaning Murtaugh would have had time to leave the house.

[@davestang5454]

Mythbusters is NOT sound science. A lot of the things they claim "Busted" are actually plausible. I would respect that show much more if they admit in the opening sequence that they are fallible and can come to the wrong conclusions.

Originally Riggs was supposed to die after being shot by the Ambassador. At the end, Roger watched a video Riggs made for him in the event he died. They thought it was to dark and they changed the ending and added the conversation with them joking around at the end that is this version.

[@Flaris]

These movies are so darn good! Every single one is a treat. And yeah, there's some true beauty to movies made in this time. You can feel the stress Murtaugh is dealing with in scenes like the toilet bomb. The nervous sweat. And the explosions just hit hard. They forged that partnership in the first movie and in this one they just went through a lot. But you could feel that they'd go through hell together and find a way to come out the other side of it.

[@Fiveshere]

Didn't even realise you never watched the sequels, all 4 are great. What a treat this is.

[@dnllrnt]

I remember reading that there were two endings, the original draft had Riggs dying. But test audiences scored higher with the Riggs surviving ending. You can also see the "Nakatomi building" after the hotel pool scene. Joel Silver produced both franchises.

I just gotta say that this is the only reaction channel that I’m subscribing to. Not just your reactions, but your intelligent commentary is awesome. It shows that you’re really passionate when it comes to cinema. With that being said, I would recommend that you check out Riddick trilogy if you haven’t already. They’re excellent sci-fi/action/horror movies. And also one of the scariest movies I ever watched, and I watched a lot of them, Event Horizon. That movie haunted my dreams for years.

[@TheDarkwolf92]

One of my most beloved movie franchises. Bought this on DVD back when DVD first came out and two things interesting. Richard Donner has the stilt house built specifically for that scene.

A great reaction to a great sequel! The "Lethal Weapon " films are a great blend of action, comedy & social commentary, in this case, apartheid. Mel Gibson & Danny Glover's chemistry is stronger than ever, but Joe Pesci steals the show! "Lethal Weapon 3" is my favorite, which, hopefully you'll react to soon! "Big smile!" "Big smile!" 😁 Suggestions: "Krampus," "Silent Night, Violent Night," "The Substance," "Blink Twice," "The Menu," "Monkey Man," "Nimona," "The Color Purple (1985)," "Places in the Heart," "Ready Or Not," "Don't Blink," "Fargo," "I Saw the TV Glow" & "Skeleton Crew."

[@abisparks1473]

Y'all said it, these movies feel so grounded because of the relationship between Riggs and Murtah. These films work, the plot motivations make sense because we buy their friendship/brotherhood from their on-screen chemistry/charisma. AND Leo being a 3rd wheel but in a way that feels both forced (by circumstance) and inevitable, I love the continual character work through this franchise.

[@joshvilar2582]

@MartinRajkovic Rene Russo was amazing. That's why my favorite Lethal Weapon is the 3rd one because she was a badass and I love her relationship with Riggs.

[@blueeagle2914]

The amount of heart and soul this movie has with all the jazz music always makes me tear up a bit. Riggs has gone through so much shit and how he and Murtaugh's relationship grows over these movies he truly is apart of his family welcoming him and what not. Also lets not forget Leo who is honestly the heart of this movie he works like a scalpel and just gets right in there making me love his scenes so much. Hopefully you will watch LW 3 & 4 soon.

Mark Rolston (Hans) was also in Aliens as Drake, along with Jeanette Goldstein who gets blown up on the diving board. Grand L Bush also plays one of the cops (he was also in 1st movie) and he was Agent Johnson in Die Hard. Patsy Kensit was best known as the lead singer of Eigth Wonder. The surfboard death is reminiscent of an infamous scene in The Omen, also drected by Richard Donner. Lethal Weapon 2 is my favourite, followed by 1, 3 and 4.

The 2 on 1 vs Jet Li in LW4 is AMAZING.

[@donnaroo8042]

@@chrisrubenstahl2046 hell's yeah! I had no idea 4 was considered the weak one. It's far more memorable to me than 3.

[@davestang5454]

LW3 was the weak movie in the franchise. Dumb "bad cops" theme. LW4 had Jet Lee, which automatically upgraded it.

[@garretthorsch8143]

finally!!!!!!! been waiting foreverforyou guys to finish this series!

[@keefriff99]

The Lethal Weapon series is amazing. Same core cast, same director, same musical contributors. That continuity really keeps you invested in Riggs and Murtaugh, as well as in Roger’s family, Lorna, Leo, and Captain Murphy. Peak action-comedy filmmaking.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Loved both films! Really excited to see more of this. Really enjoyed how they kept it consistent and what we loved from the first film was very much present here 😃

[@c1ph3rpunk]

That’s really a good point, there’s SO much continuity across films, something seemingly forgotten quite a bit today.

[@piotrangelus7534]

Captain Murphy was in "Superman" too :)

[@Frank_The_Tank72]

This was a great sequel!! The chemistry between the characters of Riggs and Murtaugh are unmatched. A lot of buddy-cop movies tried to imitate from this movie but failed. Anyway, glad you two enjoyed it. Question, down the road would you two ever watch all the Bond movies from the very beginning with Sean Connery? Just wondering, anyway enjoy your holidays.

South African apartheid was a massive issue "The Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) was a British organisation that was at the centre of the international movement opposing the South African apartheid system and supporting South Africa's non-white population who were oppressed by the policies of apartheid. The AAM changed its name to ACTSA: Action for Southern Africa in 1994, when South Africa achieved majority rule through free and fair elections, in which all races could vote."

[@donnaroo8042]

Yes, I think that it's hard for people who weren't alive for it to realize what an on-the-nose choice for a purely evil villain this was.

@@donnaroo8042 It’s hard to believe Mandela was only released from prison about seven months after LW2 hit theaters. I was only 11-12 at the time but it was a huge news story. I can see why younger people watching LW2 now might not realize why the South Africans made such great villains in 1989.

[@presencerocks2224]

It’s just unfortunate that Mandela was a communist

[@BurnCKC]

That reminds me...I think they should watch District 9

[@shaggjones4854]

look at the mess South Africa is now, worked out well

[@RedVelvetReaper]

As soon as the bad guy raises his ID and said "Diplomatic Immunity" I was thinking "Maaaaan, fuck yo diplomatic immunity." Lol

[@NoLiveking87]

I need that toilet. Bomb blew up underneath it and it fell down a floor on top of a cop car and that thing barely had a scratch. Talk about quality

[@donnaroo8042]

No offense, but what are you eating that you need a toilet that durable?

[@scalemodelmaniac3574]

​@@donnaroo8042 it's 2am currently and I just got home from the bar after getting Taco Hell...wild guess where I'm at? 😂 I definitely could use that toilet...and to make better life decisions lol

[@JohnLoutsenhizer]

​@@donnaroo8042 Taco Bell?

[@dazediss6629]

It’s so hard to watch Joe Pesci in these movies when he plays a loveable little chirpy guy… When we’re all used to seeing him be a bone chilling mobster in Goodfellas, or a cold blooded psychopath in Casino, or one half of the sticky bandits in Home Alone. But when he’s a good guy he’s absolutely adorable. Won’t spoil the ending of LW4 if you guys haven’t reacted to it yet, but it’s so wholesome!

[@StephenSchrank]

You guys have to watch Maverick (the Mil Gibson one not Tom Cruise one) also directed by Richard Donner, you'll know why I'm suggesting it when you see it.🤫
