Saved the kids from a psycho

"Lethal Weapon", 1987
Los Angeles police officer Martin Riggs is brave and reckless, he literally climbs under bullets without fear for his life. Family man Roger Murtaugh is older and more careful. Two police officers, Vietnam veterans, are investigating a case related to the suspicious suicide of a girl. The search thread leads them to drug dealers, who also turn out to be Vietnam War veterans, united in a strong criminal organization.

[@commanderkeen3787]

This was a great scene which Richard Donner should never have removed from the theatrical cut because it shows that Riggs no longer cares about dying, but he still cares about protecting others. Knowing the other guy is a poor shot, he calmly gets a read on the guy's position and then takes him out. In the director's cut, it makes it even clearer that he walks out there because he knows kids are in danger. Glad they restored it to the film.

Mel was born in 1956. So he would have been in country in 74-5 as an eighteen-year old--after the major American drawdown in 73.

The Beretta 92F was in many 80s/90s movies, as it had recently replaced the .45 ACP in the US military. It looked sleek and sexy on screen. I believe it was a John McClain weapon in Die Hard as well. I counted 21 rounds. It should be 15 with one in the chamber unless he had an extended magazine. That is quite a distance for a pistol shot.

I literally just crying Kylo Ren at the mag dump like "more.. MORE"

[@Cheezy_Slit]

I love Lethal Weapon (1987), it's been years since I watched it.. gotta watch it again along with Payback from 1999.. maybe I'll throw it What Woman Want (2000).. Mel Gibson is one phenomenal Actor he isn't the only Phenomenal Actor.. many are already very old or dead.. it's a shame they dont make em like that anymore.

[@roxtowers1]

Why did you include the bite of 87

[@martycontestabile9607]

He was a good actor before we knew that he was a nut job.

[@user-nl4ws3dj4t]

I love Pay back. Did you know they have 2 versions of it? The director's cut is really different than the one shown in theaters.

[@pgrand8888]

​@martycontestabile9607 still a great actor

[@geoffreylittlefield2215]

Yeah Payback was awesome.

[@philiphendersonjr1760]

Riggs, will always be his best role

[@mtman2]

Roadwarrior series was pretty good-> "That's not the goose"

[@williamboquist4090]

It was Braveheart, for me.

[@Archie-bo2fy]

Hal Moore.... to a tee!! And let's not forget his directing....little bit of Mel in every scene. Goes to show...men of God can and do make it to the apex. God Bless him because he has most surely blessed us.

[@CC-bx6ss]

Say what you want about Mel Gibson as a person but as an actor he was brilliant. This movie showed his comedic side and a vulnerability that later became his calling card. He can express painful emotion with the best of them.

[@MrGriff305-j7s]

And so, plot armor reached its highest level ever

[@Maltx97471]

Mel played Riggs so well the level of mentality an crazy to walk out while this guy sniping people an not flinch lethal weapon was a classic

[@nicholasbullock1709]

Missed the movie in the theater and only ever owned the Director’s Cut DVD. I never knew this wasn’t in the original cut. It just made sense every time I watched it. It helped flesh out Riggs’ character better.

[@michaelmcdermott729]

Everything mel has ever done is gold!

[@nuntana2]

… except this scene and braveheart

[@ClarkKim1]

I have never seen this scene in the Lethal Weapon series.I don't know why thise scene was cut. I see it is so magnificent.

[@BlackMarvel25]

This was a deleted scene added to the directors cut. It was a great addition for those of us who loved the original theatrical cut. Gave more insight into Riggs being suicidal

[@guitar.at.school85]

Lethal Weapon is one of my favorite series. ALL 4 FILMS, thank god I ain't gettin too old for this shit

[@ItsJustFluffy]

i have a beretta 92fs and stand by it for its accuracy. lol this scene showcased it pretty well

[@Will-ql5db]

Well, the Barretta AND the Desert Eagle. I mean, the Deagle (as we call it) is in a class by itself.

"The sniper" learned to shoot from Storm Troopers.

[@martinvigil6680]

This scene should of been included in the released movie. In the part where murtaugh tells him "I heard about your little stunt yesterday, pretty heroic" I'm pretty sure in script he was talking about this, and not the drug bust the original movie shows Riggs busting up at the tree lot.

[@deanfarrell9278]

And that's the way it's done son !

[@Swannonymous]

Although lethal weapon 1 is legendary in it's own right this scene by itself defines what legends are made of

[@SusieQ1971]

Why was this scene removed? It further demonstrates his suicidal ideation due to the murder of his wife and how much of a courageous badass he was! Oh and thank you for putting him on my screen. No better looking man in Hollywood.

[@JonesingUSAF]

I also love the fact that Riggs actually did a press check before pushing out!

Not ALL do! There are many heroes in Policework; the problem isn't with THEM, but rather the ones who don't have the mettle for the job, and bureaucratic management, who count the financial cost of doing business.

One of the Best movies ever made.

[@BennyChains88]

Riggs is a great character! Expert marksman and ex-Special Forces. The absolute best of the best. However, he wants to die because he misses his dead wife so much, but at the same time, he loves being a cop. He loves the job and he says in the movie that's the one reason that stops him from eating a bullet. Mel Gibson is an amazing actor! When an actor has the ability to give you goosebumps or make you get emotional, you know they're doing their job properly. Mel Gibson does that in many of his movies, including the Lethal Weapon franchise, The Patriot, Ransom, and Braveheart just to name a few. Denzel Washington is the same way. I always felt he and Gibson were very similar in the way they act in their movies. Washington was amazing in Man on Fire and John Q. When I saw John Q, I was in tears. It's a fantastic movie. It's about the extraordinary and extreme lengths a desperate father would go to in order to save his child's life as the result of a medical issue.

[@greggillespie2429]

Its to bad real cops dont do that,no heros anymore😢

[@mohammedashian8094]

“Expert Marksman” yet he flinches and blinks when he shots. Riiiiiggghhht. Ps: it’s only a joke

[@Annieisfreejustlikebutterflies]

No question why it was deleted. This actor has got some big balls to do this looks like real ammo. He deserves every penny he made.

When they make a movie they just show the whole movie instead of deleting scenes out like this one and then people in Hollywood think they know what they're doing but really they think they know what's right for the American movie watcher and they really don't like everyone else says another Mel Gibson classic he is probably one of the ultimate cop actors
