      Gary Bussey is such a great actor in his day. If you really like him, he actually plays a 'good guy' role (albeit still a little crazy - which is what he does best) for a change in a stand out movie (read: tear jerker) called "BIG WEDNESDAY". It stars Jan Michael Vincent, Gary Bussey, William Katt, Patti D'Arbanville, and Lee Purcell. All excellent actors. Such a great feel movie.

      Also "Running Scared" w/ Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. It didn't make a huge impact, but it came out the year before LW. Really it can go all the way back to 1949 with Kurosawa's "Stray Dog" with several more buddy cop films in the 60s and 70s. Lethal Weapon, however, perfected it. What I didn't get was the scene with Murtaugh mistaking RIggs for a gunman followed by the "That's so 80s" remark. I can't pin down why that would be peculiar to the 1980s.

      @@xavvi This is the benefit of actually living through it….NONE of those were comedic buddy comedy/action movies. 48 hrs main praise during its release (I saw it in theaters) was how groundbreaking it was …also there are far more films that emulated LW and its tropes than something like In the heat of the night which was far more a drama/detective story than action ride.

    It's amazing that a commercial 80s action movie follows the Air America plotline, an actual CIA operation which enabled drug Tsars in Cambodia in exchange for resources in the Vietnam War and led to a heroin epidemic in America. That happened.
    The helicopter shots in this were done by the same guy that did Highlander's epic shots.

    Around 20:55 she makes a very good point, and maybe I just say that because I always think it. Them thinking he is dead is not all that much of an advantage. She is talking about information control wise. I usually point out tactically. So he is a top sniper. The police have other snipers in swat. They can wear ghillie suits or bury in the sand unlike he does and be closer the coerced meet up. And the police have plenty of other things to use. Their own helicopters.
    If this was an exclusive 2 vs many thinking one of the two is dead would be an advantage. But there are plenty of police and quantity with co-ordination and good equipment can make up for one eccentrically good cop. The advantage would make more sense if they were in an isolated town cut off from the rest of the world. Or maybe another planet. Or if Mel's character had powers.
    I'll probably get some nerd arguments against this. I won't bother getting into such a back and forth even though I am sure I can continue to back it up. I am just saying without more diving in. Believing he is dead is not a huge advantage in this way. She is right.

    I appreciate your enjoyment and reaction. You mentioned that it was a bit cheese and 'formula'... These movies were what CREATED the 'formula'. You're looking at EIGHTIES ACTION ❤❤! The pioneers of GREAT movies. Everything after is copying OUR formula. Yes, there were some from the seventies, like the Dirty Harry franchise (which I HIGHLY encourage), but generally the action/comedy was MASTERED in the 80s. Now 'the industry' is just REMAKING OUR movies. That's insulting.

    Of course not. He has to pull the trigger first.
    Jokes aside, yes it will, almost always.
    Self inflicted gunshot wounds that penetrate the skull are fatal more than 95 percent of the time.
    That gun, that angle, it definitely penetrates the skull.
    Could he survive?
    Small chance, but yes.
    Could it kill him?
    Very high chance. Way too high to say "That won't kill you."

    • @blakewalker84120
      @blakewalker84120 Месяц назад

      @@martinklaus2203 yeah, but it's mostly the bullet.
      Hang a piece of steak from a hook, hold the muzzle of a gun against it and pull the trigger.
      The bullet goes through the steak.
      So do the expanding gasses, but only some; most goes to the sides.
      The gas that does go through the steak follows the bullet through the hole, ripping and burning the meat a little but the main damage was the bullet.
      Fired in a mouth, most of the gas goes out the mouth.
      It's hot, about 500 degrees F., so it burns.
      It's also an explosion so it might take teeth and lips with it.
      Ouch.
      But it's likely that not all will go out the mouth.
      it is an explosion (rapidly expanding superheated gas) so it can tear its way through flesh.
      As with all explosions, it looks for the shortest way out with the least resistance.
      So some will go down the throat.
      Some will rip through cheeks, tongue, neck, and the roof of the mouth.
      The cheeks are the thinnest, so once they are blasted open enough to find daylight, any remaining gasses in the area use that as the way out.
      It's all very messy.
      You're right, you don't need to penetrate the skull, but it's the highest chance of a kill.
      You could shred the carotid artery or the jugular vein which also gives a good chance of a kill.
      Miss those three things and maybe Coby turns out right after all: you blow out your cheek and the side of neck, lose some molars, maybe blow off some of your ear, but survive the ordeal.
      It happens.
      But that wasn't how he was aiming.

    Glad to see you starting your Lethal Weapon journey. I love these movies. Richard Donner directed all four films. I love watching his movies: The Goonies, Superman, The Omen(1976), Scrooged and Timeline, to name a few. Shane Black wrote for all four films as well. Another movie he worked on as a writer was The Monster Squad from 1986. I love the characters of Riggs and Roger in these movies. I also love the bond that develops between them. Looking forward to your reaction to Lethal Weapon 2, which is my favorite from the franchise. I was 16 when the first film came out and instantly loved it.

    "That won't kill you". Ya wanna bet! It would literally hit the Medulla Oblongota, or sever the spine killing you.

  • @vaportrails7943
    @vaportrails7943 7 месяцев назад +3

    “Cheesy” is a word I apply to something that is unintentionally bad. In this case, and a lot of movies from that time period, what you’re seeing was an intentional stylistic choice. Not quite “breaking the fourth wall”, but winking at the audience to some degree, and being fine with sacrificing realism for entertainment. “Heightened reality”. Audiences were clearly fine with it too. At the same time, the culture was different, and some of that is the way people actually acted. They didn’t take themselves too seriously, and they weren’t as hyper-sensitive.
    Overall though, this was a way of making movies that was better than what’s happening now. And definitely more popular and successful. The real skill was having a fine balance between action, comedy, drama and romance all in one film. Raiders Of The Lost Ark is probably the ultimate example. Maintaining tension while cracking jokes is not easy.
    I’m not saying it’s the best movie ever made, but it has strengths. There were several scenes cut that ramped up how messed up Mel Gibson’s character was, but I think that was wise, because he’s more sympathetic in the release version, and the movie is less dark than it would have been.

    19:45 Somehow you got the misunderstanding that Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) was dating Murtaugh's daughter.
    Earlier Murtaugh mentioned that her daughters teen boyfriend had "pits" (dimples). "When he smiles I can see through his head."
    He's seen the kid.
    I doubt he would mistake 43 year old Gary Busey for a teen boy.
    Gary Busey doesn't even have dimples at all. Laugh-lines, sure, but not a hint of a dimple.
    (You may know a thing or two about laugh-lines; yours are lovely by the way!)
    The radio call said "Sarge, we've got a body for you. Male, caucasian, age 17. Not two blocks from your home. "
    Murtaugh guessed he was blonde with dimples and was right - that dead 17 year old boy was Mark, Rianne's boyfriend with the pits in his face.

    Time stamp 5:31 Riggs in a fit of depression puts his Beretta model 92 in his mouth and Coby says "that won't kill you." Yes, it will kill you DRT, even with the full metal jacket 9 mm Riggs at some point erroneously claims is a hollow point. The bullet would hit the back of the throat and exit from the back of the neck or head severing either the brain stem or the top of the spinal column. Either way, Dead Right There.

    Morning, greetings from Ontario, Canada.. Just a fun fact, If you've seen the later seasons of Cheers you may recognize the actress that played Amanda Hunsaker in the film (Jackie Swanson) as Kelly Gaines or Kelly Boyd the eventual love interest of Woody Harrelson.. Enjoyed the reaction very much a great introduction into your channel. Cheers

    Busey also plays a great bad guy in UNDER SEIGE. One of Steven Segals last good movies before started putting out trash and was one of the few movies actually filmed on the actual USS MISSOURI

    My occasional marathon movies 🎥🍿 Have to say PLEASE 🙏 leave more of the Banter and Quotes in!! Most of us watch these reactions to watch you React to these moments versus just knowing you're watching a movie with a title we like. So "The General" actor Mitchell Ryan was one of many actors that was in a thousand Detective and Cop shows; Rockford Files, Columbo, Barnaby Jones, etc. All 4 movies are awesome I think!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

    I'm not sure if you gathered this from the fight scene at the end but the reason Mr Joshua kept going is because he has a personal beef with Riggs from their days in the special forces.

    First.... you're so beautiful ❤
    Second, also liked sequel better. Gary Busey is same bad in 1992 Under Siege with Steven Seagal and Tommy Lee Jones. But Gary is best 10 years before in 1978 The Buddy Holly Story as Buddy Holly, and Gary sings the great songs, and nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role! Saw when kid, watched every decade after with friends that never saw it Recommend it for you so much, to see him before how you think of him now

    Blasé for a film with suicide, struggling with suicide, saving a suicide jumper… not overly concerned about Riggs getting captured and tortured or Murtoph’s daughter potentially being raped…
    Still subscribed, but reactions of serious scenes were treated as jokes.
    Oh well.

    Hi, liked the reaction.
    The line, not verbatim, but "there are no more heroes...." Could that be a call back to 'Mad Max' and Tina Turner "We don't need another hero?"
    If anyone actually knows, be cool to know.👊
    Hope you watch the rest. They have less drama and more comedy/action, which is not always a good thing... Until you meet Leo Ghets!!! A criminal mastermind of no small proportions😮

Then Beverly hills cop, both Eddie Murphy, then this! The massive long running Internet debate, like Diehard, is this a Christmas movie?e pseci and glover do a comedy after 2 called, gone fishin! And the Greatest Cameo of all time is in Mel's movie, Maverick! Danny makes the Cameo!

    31:00 "What's the age difference between them? Are they allowed to hook up?
    Mel Gibson is four years older than Traci Wolfe, and she was 27 when this movie came out, so yeah, they're allowed.
    But wait!
    Rianne's age is not given, but she's still in high school so probably 17 or 18.
    Riggs is supposed to be 38.
    That's a pretty big age gap, but I guess if she's 18 they could give it a shot.
    But wait!
    Riggs and Roger are partners.
    Never sh!t where you eat.
    The dumbest, crudest, most classless thing Riggs could do would be to lay a finger on his partner's kids, regardless of whether they're old enough for consent.
    That amount of disrespect would be unforgivable.
    Plenty of fish in the sea for both of them, no need to FA and FO.

    When the daughter got out of the car and fell down, she was doing what all non-lead women in a scary situation in the '80s movies did, she falls down. It was how Jason and Micheal were so successful in their movies. But to be fair, Jason's mom was the OG

    @eugeneshadwell6596 7 месяцев назад +1

    'What's the age gap between them, are they OK to hook up?'... well, seeing as Rianne was a teenager in the mid-80's and Riggs served in Vietnam... I'm thinking it would be somewhat icky. 😊

    They weren't saying that a blond guy with dimples was spotted near Roger's house... They said the dead body of a blond guy with dimples had been found near Roger's house. When they heard that, Roger knew that his daughter's boyfriend had been killed and she had more than likely been taken.

    4:45 "One of the guys looked like he got pelted but he was only shot once."
    Yeah.
    By a shotgun.
    One "shot" from a shotgun fires many pellets that spread out.
    Great for short range accuracy because even if your aim is a bit off, some of those spreading pellets probably hit anyway.
    At that short range, maybe 15-20 feet like we saw, they don't spread much so they all hit that guy in the chest.

    We get two "morality lessons" for the price of one: 1) Riggs spared the life of an enemy (Colossus would be proud); and 2) "Bad Guys" need to be gunned down in order for a happy ending. Come to think of it, the messages are kinda' contradictory. (My advice: Don't look to the '80s for morality lessons.)

    I find it interesting when people call the pioneers of certain genres predictable. I’ve heard that from multiple react channel about different movies.

    The shot of her on the car after falling in the opening, mimics a real suicide that happened, where a woman jumped to death and landed on the roof of a car. The picture is amazing because she looks like she’s sleeping peacefully with like no visible injuries to her while the car around her is destroyed. It’s a tragically beautiful picture.
