One of the best sequels ever that for some reason gets left out of “best sequel “ conversations. And the reveal (l won’t spoil for our reactors) is heartbreaking.
@@Viglin123 I was just thinking the same thing. Whenever someone starts a conversation about "sequels that are just as good or better than the original" people always bring up Aliens and Terminator 2, but no one ever brings up Lethal Weapon 2, which I think is much better than the (still good) original.
I used to prefer LW2 over 1, it's an incredible sequel. But over the years I've come to appreciate how strong the first one is, it really is a perfect film. The only knock I have against 2 is that it kind of makes the tension of Riggs' suicidal nature in the first half of LW1 redundant, because we know he's going to survive, but imo it's worth it. Love Joss Ackland and Derrick O'Connor's villains too.
absolutely. I've always considered it one of the only sequels that's actually actually good. opinion on this kinda thing varies, and there's a lotta films I haven't seen, but empire strikes back, lotr, this... star trek II the wrath of khan.... not much else. oh, the dark knight of course.
This whole series (all 4 movies) is about character development and evolution. Absolutely one of the best movie series in history. A fantastic story about both Riggs and Murtaugh, and their growth together as "family". Because of my own personal history (I was widowed in 2006, and subsequently went through an "I don't care if I live or die" period, before learning how to just "get on with life"), I identify more with Riggs than Murtaugh, but I have to say, the way they go from being "forced partners", to being "family" is great storytelling. All 4 movies tell that story, in a very natural progression of relationships and story. More characters are added as the story goes along, but I highly recommend watching all 4 movies. Taken in context, I don't think y'all will be disappointed in the story's progression.
Fun facts: the name Martin means “martial” or “soldier” and Murtaugh is an archaic word meaning “navigator.” Their names refer to what they needed to be for each other. Roger Murtaugh was a navigator for Martin Riggs during a difficult time when Martin needed a North Star to guide him. Martin was a soldier when Roger needed one to help him save his daughter. They both literally saved each others’ lives by being who they are.
Mel's scene in the trailer where he's contemplating killing himself is the most powerful scene he's ever done IMO. So dark and sad, it's such a pivotal scene to see the true pain his character is going through. Amazing performance.
Best buddy cop film ever. Gibson and Glover's chemistry was second to none. Gibson really nailed this role and deserved a Best Actor nomination. Totally agree to your points about the Murtaugh family. They felt like a real family and not some forced, manufactured, cookie-cutter Hollywood family. For example, the 2 younger kids doing that rap to mock their older sister's crush on Riggs felt natural and funny.
Little alrming discovery i found out about gary busey: in 1988 he had a serious motorcylce accident he was pronounced dead for two hours and came back 💪 dude is a true survivor and legend of hollywood, he really doesnt get praised enough. People are so quick to call him batshit crazy without taking the time to understand what he's been through. Great reaction ladies 💯💯
I have watched many reactions to this movie and I am always amazed at how people don't understand why the fight at the end between Riggs and Joshua had to happen. Like, hasn't the final "mano a mano" battle between protagonist and villain been a standard trope of stories since...forever? No you can't "just shoot him"! Where is the drama and tension and victory in that??? And also, I always thought it was implied that the two of them had beef since the war (if not personally then between their factions) which is why Riggs challenged if Joshua wanted "another shot at the title". At which point you have to take him down personally to show total humiliation and defeat. I wish more of the humour would have made it into this reaction too. It's not just about Riggs being Lethal. His personality and charm really matter as well.
Nah it's really about how the times have changed (for the better). It's funny now looking at shit like this, but back then that kind of macho bullshit was serious and people ate it up. But in the end...it's just macho bullshit. Perfectly understandable modern generation doesn't "get it". They've evolved past it :)
@@hadoken95times changed and people and society got soft. I prefer my action films from the 80s; tough guys, bullets and none PC! This movie isn't for these two reactors.
@@hadoken95 The modern generation has not evolved past it, they just do it in a different way. The moderne generation fight for online status and cancel each other on social media. Don't worry, the modern generation after you will change it up again and claim to have evolved past you.
I know it’s on patreon, but us lowly RUclips viewers are disappointed that some really great character parts were edited out! Anyway, great reaction. I recommend the entire series. They’re all great in their own way and excellent when viewed as a whole tetralogy.
You're right..i just startet and i really missed the complete jumper scene. Saw better edited versions. I know, its RUclips..i'm odinary subcriber..damn, i faggin hate patreon...
@@stefanstock953 Yep. That whole scene and the “you really are crazy” part really drive the character development and I think was important to make the YT edit for us to see the reactions.
@@te1013 exactly..i had to step back from reaction videos..i think they lost slowly their magic..i felt in love with such a great idea of a content bout 3-4 years ago. i feel its not bout the reaction itself anymore..more and more idiots stepped on that train and its gets worst. It had to come so, people and their greed..its quite only bout getting views, getting YT buttons, reaching for donations, getting patreons, its kinda sad...movie reactions now, on YT, feels like clickbaits, teasing you and than ditch you, with an evil smile they tell you.."if you wanna see the full reaction, become a patreon, for only 8 bucks a month...nope, thats it..i go back to the good old eighties. No smartphones, no social media, no scams, no cyber mobbing, no sick tikfock where every sick motha can upload sick shit, no karens, no worldstarrr....NO NOISE..back to nature and be free...thats where i belong...stay safe, buddy PEACE
YES! I just watched and mentioned the over editing. I suggested to view the POPCORN 🍿 IN BED CHANNEL and their edit and the scenes; New partner introduction, The jumper scene and RIGGS sniper speach. ☮️
What most people forget is both Murtaugh and Riggs were both Vietnam Veterans! They just served different years and are separated by a dozen years in Age! 🙄🤨😎
really enjoyed this movie and reaction. I was disappointed some of the best parts edited out in beginning and we as men delt with things and moved on. Maybe a handful needed therapy but most of us just moved on, raised great families and become men not males :-))
Also what makes all of the LW movies so enjoyable is that the banter between Riggs and Murtough are completely Ad-libbed and unchscripted which should tell a lot about how much they stayed in character... The only time they said a line was only to fit what the story was about..
They set the standard for buddy cop and action movies. All four films are character driven and deal with some real dark subject's Murtaugh as a hardworking protective father and husband and Riggs as a pain and rage filled shell of a man limping along on duty alone. The are both such sympathetic characters who make you love them very quickly.
Oh wow, just found you ladies today. And to start with Lethal Weapon?! You made my day. You must watch all four, this is back when they knew how to do sequels. Each is better than the last.
This movie made me realize that Gibson would have been an amazing Wolverine. The look on his face and in his eyes after the jump scene when Murtaugh pushed him and realized he was suicidal was the catalyst for me.
You both said you love the family, so I can pretty much guarantee you will enjoy the rest of the movies and even the TV show. The family is integral to the entire franchise in wonderful ways.
The neighborhood was filmed on the Columbia/WB Ranch. I started my career on the WB main lot as well as the Ranch. I worked on a project for WB Television and we filmed a few episodes with the house. The house was practical. Meaning it actually had four walls and interior rooms. Unfortunately the entire Ranch was demolished in 2023. The Ranch dates back to the 1930s all of that history is going.. 😢
The men of the Vietnam area and older and even the men of my generation (came of age in the early 1980's) didn't need therapy. We dealt with life and whatever problems came along moved on. On the other hand a lot of women of these younger generations could use a little therapy and the men need to toughen up and and get their act together and start acting like men.
Great reaction! I always love watching people react to this movie and Mel Gibson as Riggs. He’s so great in this. Everyone is. The entire series is incredible. Riggs and Murtaugh is a friendship for the ages. Gold standard, as someone said.
It's the end of the fight, Murtagh is screaming for Riggs to kill the bad guy, and Riggs realizes just what kind of influence he's had on Murtagh. That was the whole point.
The screenplay was written by Shane Black which was his first sold screenplay at 23 years old in '85. He was Hollywood's first rock-n-roll screenwriter. His buddy cop reinvention update at the time started a modern genre craze of two mismatched partners thrown together to solve that films' mcguffin or mystery box, if you will, and that 80's trend has never gone away. Black went on to do future at the time instant classics such as 1991's Bruce Willis neo-noir in coke The Last Boy Scout, Geena Davis as the original Jason Bourne, gender-reversed amnesiac assassin in '96's The Last Kiss Goodnight with Samuel L. Jackson, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with a just pre-Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr. showing his incredible acting chop range playing the anti-Tony Stark teamed with Val Kilmer which is a must-see and The Nice Guys from 2014 starring Ryan Gosling as his greatest cinematic comedic creation put to screen who steals every scene he's in joined by Russell Crowe in a caper set at the just tail end of the late 70's to, what else?, solve a crime. Also a must-see. Shane Black rules pretty hard.
Brings a joy to my heart to see you guys watching some 'classics'. I put that in quotes b/c I tend to think of actual classics as being older, like Casablanca and the like. But, these are getting on in years, too, and am happy to see you guys give these a... whirl... and if you like them, great. If not, there are still plenty of others that you guys might.
This is the greatest cop action thriller ever. The sequels are terrific as well. I remember seeing number 4 in the theater and having a total blast. I hope you ladies watch them all.
It's a fantastic film and it's always worth a re-watch whenever I see it on TV. It's also one of the most consistent film series out there, IMO, with the real-life friendship between Gibson and Glover being the glue that keeps it all together. I hope you'll continue the series.
When the black kid said his mom said that cops shoot black people, 1 it's true and 2 you can see the other black cop look to the side like " yeah his mom is right cops do shoot black people
The first Lethal Weapon is like the darker, more adult and serious ones, the sequels are a lot of fun, full of action and jokes, more blockbusters, you will love them.
that was one of the best reactions of this film 👏. i especially liked how you pointed out the part where Riggs answers (truthfully) on whether he liked murtaugh's wife's cooking - that showed me you gals were on a different level lol. honestly, i didn't think two ladies would understand the dynamic of two dudes better than other dudes
Fun Fact: For the movie Mel Gibson was trained to fight and in particular how to do a triangle choke (the technique where he wraps his legs around a man’s neck) by Rorion Gracie who is the patriarch of the Gracie family which invented Gracie Jiu-Jitsu , the most commonly used and effective form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It’s still used to this day in UFC and other MMA organizations.
ORIGINALLY IN THE SCRIPT THERE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A SEQUEL IN FACT THEY ACTUALLY SHOT A DIFFERENT ENDING WHERE THEY SLIP OFF GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.... THEY QUITE LITERALLY CHANGED IT THE LAST MINUTE DURING THE SHOOT.... Everyone one the set loved how great of a chemistry both guys had... That they lobbied to changed it last minute.... And the fact that this one film made three more is amazing.... So please guys come back and watch 2-4 their just as fun as this one...
FYI *SHADOW COMPANY* WAS A REAL THING GOING ON DURING THE LADDER PARTS OF THE VIETNAM WAR.... One thing through each of the sequels is how each movie takes what was going on in current events during those years.
The golden standard of the Buddy Cop genre. The whole franchise is worth checking out
it IS that.
Indeed.
This movie redefined the buddy action film, Gibson and Glover have better chemistry than most married couples 😂
It's better cause you marry just for the mortgage
@@HABO2210 'murica = Whole planet?
Because marriage has nothing to do with it. Lol!
Lethal Weapon 2 is JUST as good as this one. Definitely worth doing a reaction to. :)

The Lethal Weapon series never gets old to me. Y’all have been watching a lot of my favorites lately

After loss it’s incredibly important for grieving people to know that they’re not alone. Murtaugh and his family really save Riggs. It’s beautiful.
As If Men were this Supported in real Life At all...
It's NOT the case.
Trust me you guys want to watch the whole franchise. It's incredible. I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it
You are in for an amazing ride. All four movies are great. This is my favorite cop tandem. And all four are definite rewatches.
YES! This wisdom is why you are the chosen one! I marathon these once a year. I commented on their over editing but these ladies are fun! ☮️
This movie is so great. You’re never too old to watch this shit for the first time!
You skipped the jumper scene?!!!!!!! WTFFF???
Please, please watch the whole series... you won't regret it.
their friendship and chemistry on-screen only builds higher and higher with each movie, definitely check out the sequels
Danny Glover has great screen presence! Always makes any movie better!
Fun facts: the name Martin means “martial” or “soldier” and Murtaugh is an archaic word meaning “navigator.” Their names refer to what they needed to be for each other.

Oh wow. That's a powerful insight.
Freaking Awesome! As if I didn't love these movies enough already!! ☮️
Please continue with the franchise. So good and the relationships are amazing!
This series is one of the few where all the movies are just as good. Most series start falling off, but these movies keep the high quality.
Oh ladies…what is the point of hand to hand combat? Black Widow, La Femme Nikita, Sydney Bristow…they’d get it 😂😉
Mel's scene in the trailer where he's contemplating killing himself is the most powerful scene he's ever done IMO. So dark and sad, it's such a pivotal scene to see the true pain his character is going through. Amazing performance.
And it took him days to get in the headspace to do that scene.
I don't think society has shaped our definition of what is beauty as much as our sight has.
Best buddy cop film ever. Gibson and Glover's chemistry was second to none. Gibson really nailed this role and deserved a Best Actor nomination.

This series is awesome! In my opinion, 2 is the best, and I LOVE 4 (many people don’t agree with me here). Everyone has a different opinion though.
You guys totally need to watch the rest awesome reaction guys!😊
It's a little more than just a "buddy cop" movie. They are family films. Watch them all!
Pause just right at 28:52 ... effing hilarious! We love watching yall. And yes, this is a Christmas classic for the whole family. LOL

To Live And Die In LA came out years before but it’s a nihilistic movie where this one has optimism

Fun Fact: For the movie Mel Gibson was trained to fight and in particular how to do a triangle choke (the technique where he wraps his legs around a man’s neck) by Rorion Gracie who is the patriarch of the Gracie family which invented Gracie Jiu-Jitsu , the most commonly used and effective form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It’s still used to this day in UFC and other MMA organizations.
Not so fun fact: Every time Gibson "fires" his gun, he closes his eyes. Impressive shooting for being blind when pulling the trigger.
@@Barovian20 yeah it’s something that I always point out when I see it in movies or tv shows. When “hardened badasses” blink when firing their guns.
Since you knew PV was near Long Beach, the opening scene to the movie where she jumps off the building, that building is in downtown LB on Ocean Blvd.
ORIGINALLY IN THE SCRIPT THERE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A SEQUEL IN FACT THEY ACTUALLY SHOT A DIFFERENT ENDING WHERE THEY SLIP OFF GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.... THEY QUITE LITERALLY CHANGED IT THE LAST MINUTE DURING THE SHOOT.... Everyone one the set loved how great of a chemistry both guys had... That they lobbied to changed it last minute.... And the fact that this one film made three more is amazing....
So please guys come back and watch 2-4 their just as fun as this one...
Shane Black wrote this & directed Iron Man 3! Maybe that's why that helicopter attack on the house at a sea cliff looked so familiar!
He was also in Predator as Hawkins-the guy that wore glasses.
80’s violence is a different genre lol.
FYI *SHADOW COMPANY* WAS A REAL THING GOING ON DURING THE LADDER PARTS OF THE VIETNAM WAR.... One thing through each of the sequels is how each movie takes what was going on in current events during those years.
It makes sense because the Iran-Contra affair/scandal had been in the news.
