One of those “Hot ladies are waiting for you” 1-900 phone sex lines that were EVERYWHERE on TV back in the 80’s and 90’s. (Not sure if you had those in Canada or not).
When this movie was made, the liquid nitrogen trick was only theoretical. Mythbusters tested it and it turns out it would have worked far better then in the movie. They could have calmly strolled out through the front door
The liquid nitrogen trick worked so well that it took until the LN burned off for the bomb to explode, 20-30 min if I remember right. They could have just got up, walked to the kitchen made a few sandwiches, and then left.
The "underwater reveal" really got a strong reaction from the audience in theater. Traditionally this would be the start of the "race to save the damsel in distress" moment, and that twist was a real gut punch.
Damn, you two are friends for so long, and still your on-screen chemistry, the little jokes, the friendly banter seems to get better and better with every reaction. It's just so much fun watching you watch movies. Love both of you.
This movie has one of my favorite tag lines, which my friends and I still use to this day. Whenever something doesn't go as planned, we say " 'Cause they f___ you at the drive through!"
I love LW3, the building they blew up in the beginning I was there when they blew it up. It was the old city hall in downtown Orlando and a big deal when it happened. I wish they did more practical effects now a days
The "80's car explosion" in the the beginning was because it was a car towing an RV with dual external propane tanks. It makes more sense when you see that the car actually hits the tanks. In the first movie there was an End Apartheid sticker prominently displayed on the refrigerator.
@@nochannel1q2321 Only the hatch back had that problem. It was because the gas tank was so close to the rear steel bumper. The gas tank would get ruptured during a rear end collision, and sparks from the bumpers would ignite the fuel. The station wagon was just as safe as any other vehicle during the same time. I loved my 72 Pinto wagon until a tree fell on it.
@@gothnate Oh, I wasn't meaning to get into the deep specifics; just a jab at Ford for (kind of) allowing the design of what we're calling here an 80s car for real was arguably a thing for a while.
Not till after they watch Lethal Weapon 3! Loaded Weapon 1 makes references to the first three Lethal Weapon movies. But they should also watch Wayne's World for those references first, and probably a few 80s and 90s commercials.
@@richardrobbins387 You mean the microfilm that contains the recipe for turning cocaine into innocent little cookies??? I don't know anything about it.
When I was younger we would party a lot and got bags of free Condoms from the health clinic. They were always colorful so we put them on the Xmas tree one year as a joke bit jokes on us every weekend there were less on the tree lmao
My wife hates this about me. She knew Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon and My Cousin Vinny. I showed her Goodfellas and Casino and it has ruined her. LOL :D
The stilt house is the Garcia house (John Lautner was the architect) it can be found still standing at 7436 Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills. While the real house was used in the move the house that's destroyed by Riggs was a replica built on a backlot at Warner Studios. Patsy Kensit who played Riggs girlfriend stated acting as a child in a Birds Eye frozen peas ad before going on to have a UK top ten hit in 1988 with a song called I'm Not Scared (written by the Pet Shop Boys) the song can be heard in LW2 but was not included on the soundtrack.
One of the best "buddy cop" movies of the genre! This one (the second one) was my favorite, followed closely by the first. But the whole series was really good. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover worked really well on screen together, along with Joe Pesci. Another of the really good buddy cop movie series from the 80's was "Beverly Hills Cop" (again, especially the first two). I watched all of these as a teenager growing up in the 80's and besides the nostalgia factor, they were really damned good entertainment!
The cool thing about the toilet bomb and their escape was that it _is_ actually possible. Mythbusters tested it, and found that pouring liquid nitrogen over the bomb and battery introduced a delay of 15 minutes; Riggs and Murtagh could have just walked out.
Joe got his “ok” from when he went to Disneyland, and whenever he asked for directions to fantasy land the teenage employees would say “ok” like Joe Pesci was saying the movie before giving him directions.
Wow, I'm soo impressed when you Simone said-- "They did sound dutch" during the car chase in the begining. Considering that the bad guys are from South Africa, and they speak Afrikaan, and that is pretty close to Dutch(the language in Netherlands). It was the same language back in the days, but they have evolved a little bit different due to the time that has passed.
@@WoodrowsRandomReviews Ja well, nobody can really do the accent but Afrikaners and they were not going to get hired during that time. So they had to do with what they could get I suppose.🤔
I might've missed the mark entirely, but I just figured it was dark humour about the frequently dire drug habits of jazz musicians back in the day, with the risk of passing away while having a fix in the bathroom.
My first time watching this channel. You guys are a lot of fun. I hope you guys continue with this series. They do a really good job of building their relationship and family. Gotta love the 3-William-56es.
Another buddy cop comedy to watch is Running Scared with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. Comedies I recommend are: In Bruges, Defending Your Life, My Blue Heaven, Let It Ride.
Another great Mel Gibson action movie is 'Payback' (only the directors cut though - its one of those few movies, where the cut changes a lot about the story...) it also got an excellent Lucy Liu in it!
Payback is good ... although there's some debate about what version you might actually want to watch. I've seen at least two or three different cuts of it and the overall "feel" is the same - there are some VERY different scenes & it's put together very differently in the different cuts
Honestly I rather preferred the theatrical with Kris Kristofferson as the boss. Ending was rather more coherent compared to the 'Straight Up' cut. Also think it'd be the better one to react to. But all versions are worth a watch.
Lethal Weapon is one of those rare franchises like Rocky and Back to the Future, where every movie is very enjoyable and watchable. Everyone has their own favourite and people may debate which ones like they like the most, but every LW movie is very entertaining and worth a watch, especially, like with Rocky, as you get to know and love the characters, you just want to see more of their lives
My apologies if someone else has already mentioned this, but if I remember correctly, that's one of the ways Houdini was able to get out of straitjackets - he could dislocate one or BOTH of his shoulders.
@@jculver1674 Hollywood prioritised the domestic market back then so absolute fealty to accents, not so much a big deal. That's changed, for better and worse
@@Shiny7054 our South African accent seems to be quite a struggle to get right. Even with A - list actors and fantastic coaches, they still seem to be inconsistent and inauthentic.
Leo Getz is the character we didn't know we needed from the first one. Just hilarious. The third one is just as good and introduces another good character.
I miss movie stars that had balls to do their own stunts and heaps of charisma. Mel Gibson should have never gone away. Fantastic actor! Owns the screen in every scene. Love it.
Fun fact: The original script for the movie had Riggs die at the end. The studio changed it before filming but they decided to keep the scene, they just had Riggs pull through. Imagine the ending of this movie with Riggs bleeding to death on the ship in Murtaugh's arms as the camera pulls out to see all the cop cars racing in, but too late. In the rewrite, Riggs lives and so does Rika. They filmed a closing scene at Murtaugh's house with Riggs and Rika joking about eating a living turkey. The director thought the movie would have much more impact if the bad guy killed Rika so they cut that ending scene and filmed the parts with Rika dead in the water, but you can still find the scene on RUclips.
The song playing is "Knocking on Heaven's Door". Originally written and performed by Bob Dylan. It is played in the 1973 film "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" as a lawman lay dying. Bob Dylan actually also appeared in the movie. The lyrics refer to not needing his badge and guns anymore, because he is knocking on Heaven's Door.
12:44 Hong Kong stunts were even riskier back then given that insurance coverage wasn't required to make movies. Plus, limited budget & production schedule also meant less time spent on the actors' & stuntmen's safeties. There's a sequence in Fatal Termination (1990) where a real little girl is grabbed by the hair and dangled outside of a speeding car. There was also little concern for animals. Jackie Chan's Project A 2 (1987) has a sequence where he fights someone in a cage full of birds.
I really hope you guys are watching Loaded Weapon now soon as well. It's a hilarious Leathal Weapon spoof movie with Emilio Estevez and Samual L Jackson.
At this point, it pays to see the whole series through. There are only two more, after all. It's been rumored Mel will direct a fifth entry, since the prior director of the previous four has since passed, although nothing happened yet.
Among the many many movie references in Hot Fuzz, the "de-kaffanated" line from Murtaugh at the end is heard when Simon Pegg talks on the phone with Nick Frost. Danny uses the word "de-kaffanated" when he means "decapitated".
I love how at one point during the commentary George went full Leo and didn't seem to realize it. I already can't remember what part, but George threw an, "okay okay okay" in there.
"Makes me want to go right out and buy rubbers." BTW, Jack McGee {the carpenter} has played a firefighter in many productions. Before becoming an actor he served on Engine 89 and Ladder 50 in the NYFD!
A friend of a friend of a friend, worked in Ireland in the early 80s. They said that the outfit the bomb squad wore had very minimal protection and was really used to hold the body together after an explosion. Don't know how true this is though
Shock wave would probably be fatal, even if the armor held up. Most fatalities outside of the shrapnel/blast radius are killed by concussive internal injuries.
You two are such baffoons and I love you for it, I truly do. There isn't much you won't run into a joke yet you still manage to stay with the story and not lose focus much. Also I've never mentioned it until now but I just love the commercial style type of cut for your patreon: it's always there, we never know when but it is so short and simple I don't mind it at all besides thinking it's kinda cute as far as any commercial can go. Different in a very good way. Thanks for this vid and so many others, take care, see you again soon.
Diplomatic Immunity never worked the way this movie portrays. The police would have notified the state department, and barring any major worldwide issues (the possibility of a multinational war), the South African diplomats would have been deported and the consulate shut down. This would have set back relations between the two countries, but the onus would be on South Africa to make things right. But I still love the movie. I put this one right up there with the first one.
What made it funnier was the accent all the 'South Africans' used. It was the equivalent of having an American ambassador speak with an uneducated redneck accent usually found in the most remote hillbilly mountains. Then again, with the state of US politics at the moment, that might have actually been the case at some US embassy parties.
This is one of those franchises where all of the movies are good. They introduce new characters that are fun and interesing and all of the main characters get some kind of development. Also Danny and mel and great together.
Out of all 4 films I would say Lethal Weapon 2 is my all time favorite, from the villain, the story, the love interest (Patsy Kensit is a babe in heels) and the comedy always hits. And so crazy how the villain has immunity. Also you might recognize the actor who played Vorstedt he played the priest in Daredevil (the Ben Affleck version)
Now you've got to watch the movie National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1. It parodies Lethal Weapon 1 & 2 and other movies of the era. It stars Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson (right before doing Pulp Fiction). Oh, and Sam the Dog, as he's credited, is the same dog as in the first movie.
Simone, I like your face. You cut the classic moment when the guy looks down to make sure he's not standing on plastic. Another awesome reaction. Damn 80s cars keep blowing up. What'd we do wrong?
I just noticed…. the cop that brings the shrink to the bathroom and blows up on the diving board is Vasquez in Aliens and the foster mom in Terminator 2.
The guy they chase at the beginning of the movie is played by Mark Rolston. One of the female cops is played by Jenette Goldstein. Both played marines in the movie Aliens.
Mentioned it before on your Transformers video, but you should check out "The Island" (2005), starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johannson, and directed by Michael Bay. Vastly underrated action film that is surprisingly thought-provoking as well.
An FOTC reference is always a good way to start a video off 👍 Really fun movie. Says a lot about Joe Pesci that he can make "ok, ok, ok" a quote you remember, and repeat, years later.
20:20 Yes, the Mythbusters tried it. The Liquid Nitrogen actually completly disabled the detonation mechanism, so in reality, they din't even need to go the whole "jump in the tub" thing, Murtaugh and Riggs could just waltz outta there
Great reaction! As for the house on stilts: it was a house schedule for demolition, so they arranged to do it for the movie. I hope you continue with part 3. Also . . . the Beverly Hills Cop franchise is pretty good, too. At least one and two.
Richard Donner placed a LOT of social commentary in these movies. You can see it in the posters in the background, the whole thing about not eating tuna, and so on. When this game out, South Africa was in the news on a regular basis, so them being the bad guys fit in with the current events. After you do the third one, you'll want to be sure to see Loaded Weapon. You need to see Lethal Weapon 1-3 to get all the jokes, but it's actually holds up well as a movie, and a parody of this series.
I totally forgot about the pulling down the house until this re-watch LOL they did that in Grand Theft Auto V, part of the main story very similar house.
One thing I really like is the actors and actresses in the police force: Jenette Goldstein: Vasquez from Aliens, John Conners foster mother. Dean Norris: Hank from Breaking Bad and a hell of lot of other things. Nestor Serrano: may not have had an iconic role similar to the others, but has been in a ton of movies since.
What other kinds of commercial could Rianne do that would cause the same reaction from her father?
One of those “Hot ladies are waiting for you” 1-900 phone sex lines that were EVERYWHERE on TV back in the 80’s and 90’s. (Not sure if you had those in Canada or not).
I think the problem more so is thinking of one that's circumstantially as funny.
Did George say 'all the sudden'?
A South Africa tourism commercial
Err I think you might regret asking this Question but....Lube , sex toys , sex hotline, STD awareness adds
When this movie was made, the liquid nitrogen trick was only theoretical.

But I still love the movie. I put this one right up there with the first one.
I don't know what I enjoy more. Your reactions or the cover art! 😆 🤣 😂
What made it funnier was the accent all the 'South Africans' used. It was the equivalent of having an American ambassador speak with an uneducated redneck accent usually found in the most remote hillbilly mountains. Then again, with the state of US politics at the moment, that might have actually been the case at some US embassy parties.
I had forgotten Hank from Breaking Bad was also in this movie
Lethal Weapon 3 is pure awesome as well.
This is one of those franchises where all of the movies are good. They introduce new characters that are fun and interesing and all of the main characters get some kind of development. Also Danny and mel and great together.
Out of all 4 films I would say Lethal Weapon 2 is my all time favorite, from the villain, the story, the love interest (Patsy Kensit is a babe in heels) and the comedy always hits. And so crazy how the villain has immunity.
Also you might recognize the actor who played Vorstedt he played the priest in Daredevil (the Ben Affleck version)
Also the stepmom from Terminator 2 and badass marine from Aliens, plus Hank from Breaking Bad (who was also in Aliens as a SWAT guy).
2:33 --- EVERYTHING in the 80s was flammable ... It's a wonder humanity made it this far..
Great vídeo and reaction ! Good times of cinema ❤️...tanks ! Congrats from Brazil 🇧🇷👏👏. See your in lethal weapon 3 ❤️.
Now you've got to watch the movie National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1. It parodies Lethal Weapon 1 & 2 and other movies of the era. It stars Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson (right before doing Pulp Fiction).
Oh, and Sam the Dog, as he's credited, is the same dog as in the first movie.
Fun fact: The van that Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are driving in Home Alone has “OH-KAY Plumbing and Heating” painted on the side of it. 😊
Finland 1989. I was watching this at the cinema, premiere week. End scene, someone shouted in Finnish "kill that bastard" (tapa se paskiainen)
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS! - Tears of a rapper!!! Gotcha back Simone 🥰
Ahhh yes! Been waiting for this since your reaction to the first film..I love this damn series of movies. 🤣
Diplomatic Immunitehhhh!
Simone, I like your face.
You cut the classic moment when the guy looks down to make sure he's not standing on plastic.
Another awesome reaction. Damn 80s cars keep blowing up. What'd we do wrong?
Sticker shock from the 80's still freaks me out...and I was there!
I just noticed…. the cop that brings the shrink to the bathroom and blows up on the diving board is Vasquez in Aliens and the foster mom in Terminator 2.
I love where you went on your plot prediction of this sequel:) Hilarious:)
Lest you forget that's the second time you've seen that guy play a diplomat, as you've seen The Hunt for Red October.
The Embassy grounds end at the gate. Riggs was {mostly} on the sidewalk. Mostly.
Rika’s death reveal was really shocking when I saw this in the theater! Thanks for a great reaction! 😊
Hearing Flight of the Conchords again after so long is a good feeling
The guy they chase at the beginning of the movie is played by Mark Rolston. One of the female cops is played by Jenette Goldstein. Both played marines in the movie Aliens.
Your videos guys really make me end my day happily xDxD
So love it when Simone is like....a billion IN THE 80S!!!! Like that's the 1800s. I was alive for the entire 80s!
Mentioned it before on your Transformers video, but you should check out "The Island" (2005), starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johannson, and directed by Michael Bay.
Vastly underrated action film that is surprisingly thought-provoking as well.
An FOTC reference is always a good way to start a video off 👍 Really fun movie. Says a lot about Joe Pesci that he can make "ok, ok, ok" a quote you remember, and repeat, years later.
Nice Flight of the Conchords 💓 reference, Simone! I see you!
20:20 Yes, the Mythbusters tried it.
The Liquid Nitrogen actually completly disabled the detonation mechanism, so in reality, they din't even need to go the whole "jump in the tub" thing, Murtaugh and Riggs could just waltz outta there
Aw man I was looking forward to the famous "it's just been revoked" line
Great reaction! As for the house on stilts: it was a house schedule for demolition, so they arranged to do it for the movie. I hope you continue with part 3. Also . . . the Beverly Hills Cop franchise is pretty good, too. At least one and two.
Nope. You are thinking of the opening bomb in LW3.
The "stilt house" is still there.
Fun fact : Riggs' South African love interest, was the lead singer in "Eighth Wonder" who had one big hit " I'm not scared."
I believe she was married to Noel Gallagher of Oasis. Yes, THAT Oasis...
i thought id spotted a Conchords reference recently ("ohh... steve") and now ... confirmed!
"Steve"👊
Richard Donner placed a LOT of social commentary in these movies. You can see it in the posters in the background, the whole thing about not eating tuna, and so on. When this game out, South Africa was in the news on a regular basis, so them being the bad guys fit in with the current events.
After you do the third one, you'll want to be sure to see Loaded Weapon. You need to see Lethal Weapon 1-3 to get all the jokes, but it's actually holds up well as a movie, and a parody of this series.
30:15 Try to remember the dialogue here for when you get around to Lethal Weapon 4. There is a scene that references it.
T
So happy you're continuing this series! The third one is my fave!
mel gibson calling that guy adolf is like the pot calling the kettle black... no pun intended...
I totally forgot about the pulling down the house until this re-watch LOL they did that in Grand Theft Auto V, part of the main story very similar house.
One thing I really like is the actors and actresses in the police force:
Jenette Goldstein: Vasquez from Aliens, John Conners foster mother.
Dean Norris: Hank from Breaking Bad and a hell of lot of other things.
Nestor Serrano: may not have had an iconic role similar to the others, but has been in a ton of movies since.
Just watched the Team America reaction. Cracking up still. Also kinda in love with Simone. 😆
Omg! Simone knows Flight of the Conchords!!!
