Hey gang, sorry for the marking over the movie. I was struggling with copyright claims and just had to mark the whole video to get it posted 😤.
Hope it's not too annoying.
Cheers and much love,
Emily
I remember a story about some middle-eastern Prince or something that was over here a few years ago, strait up ran over a person with their car and we couldn't do anything to them because of "diplomatic immunity", the guy got off scott free.
Diplomatic immunity isn't really true immunity but also kind of is.
A person can be arrested but instead of prosecution they would be expelled from the country and their VISA revoked.
Case in point a US embassy workers wife was driving on the wrong side of the road and killed a teen. The US took her out of the UK and didn't even let the British police interview her of check her for alcohol.
She didn't even hold immunity just her husband.
This happened a in the middle of trump's presidency and he refused to send her back for questioning or trial and gave her retroactive immunity.
He could have decided that she just didn't have immunity but didn't. Probably because a lot of his embassy appointees were financial backers to his campaign.
I know the US has expelled a few people with immunity because they committed crimes in the US.
Never mind, we are looking the react more than the movie :-)
By the way, could you see some Jackie Chan movie? But some of his Hong Kong movies, they are much better, like Police Story (the first one) or Project A (the second part is funnier).

Better to mark it than blur it, blurring hides everything you're reacting to :)
One of the best things in the Lethal Weapon movies is the friendship between Riggs and Murtough. Not just the chemistry between the two leads but the small elements they added like Riggs has his laundry at Murtoughs house, he’s basically an uncle to the kids, he knows where things were around the house, it really helped build that the relationship between all the characters had been going on for years when they were off screen.
Why were those henchmen quiet? The entire movie they hadn't mumbled a single word... Except the bearded guy in the stilt house... "This house is built on stilts." and "Kaffir." Even if they were scripted to talk... they'd mumble some English with guttural accent or Afrikaans, right?
When Mel Gibson was sat on the shore talking to his dog and says "look around you Sam, look around you", that was when I got the idea to name my dog Sam. He was the best dog. Fourteen years after losing him, I still think of him all the time.
OMG, Matt's face when Emily nailed the South African accent was priceless! XD
Richard Donner the director is famous for not using miniatures. If he wanted to explode a building, it was an actual building that he exploded.
No miniatures in Superman (1978)?
Yes in Lethal Weapon 3 demolished a real building at the beginning of the movie.
Oh, fun fact: the female detective blown up was Jennette Goldstein who played John's foster mother in Terminator 2 and Vasquez in Aliens.
She also played the Irish woman in Titanic who was putting her 2 children to bed right before the ship sank.
The poor woman dies in every thing she’s in
She’s like Sean bean lol
@@beatmet2355 You are so right, damn she's totally the women's Sean Bean!!
You guys should do part 3 & 4!!!!!!!! lol
@@ricklee5387 yes I agree
Fun Fact: The Mythbusters proved with the help of the Alameda County, California Sheriff's Department Bomb squad that hitting that kind of bomb with liquid Nitrogen works so well it would take like ten to twenty minutes for the bomb to go off. He'd have time to get up, stretch, wipe and wash his hands before the bomb squad came in to casualy disarm it.
Another fun fact: This movie brought awareness to the absence of parameters of diplomatic immunity and for a long while, there was talk about changing them to exclude high crimes and misdemeanors. No one I talked to recalls the outcome of all the attention and how much changed, but it was definitely a huge deal...all because of this movie
@@LA_HA i'm on a scene inferred high crimes such as murder and rewind are not covered by the banana community-based just crucified traffic violations and petty theft
More serious crimes might not be prosecuted in that state or of the country but the person can be evicted another back into that country
@@marcelmoreau2733 I apologize. I realize you may be using a translator, but I am unable to understand your comment. Would you please try again?
@@LA_HA ignore the first part the stupid speech program doesn't hear me properly
I was just saying that most serious crimes such as rape and murder are usually not covered by diplomatic immunity
Usually gets person deported and prosecuted in home country, often also applies to drug crimes
@@marcelmoreau2733 Oh, I understand. Thank you for repeating it for me and for the information. I wasn't sure if it had changed or not. It's good to hear that it has
I hope y’all have the Mel Gibson movie “Maverick” on the list. I need to look at the list again. Simply for the Danny Glover cameo in it.
Also, on Diplomatic Immunity, the foreign diplomat cannot be arrested unless their own government waives the immunity. Otherwise, the foreign diplomat is expelled from the country.
Love Maverick. Kept me laughing all the way.
Oh crap I had completely forgotten about Maverick. I used to love that movie growing up! Time for a trip down memory lane.
But Diplomatic Immunity only goes so far. Say someone with Diplomatic Immunity murdered someone, it would be null and void, and will be arrested.
Maverick is a lot of fun. It is one of those movies though that have been somewhat forgotten for some reason.
I'm not a country music fan, but Maverick was so good I even bought the soundtrack.
"Ah, but the audience waits, while Matthew master rates." \o/
also I wanted to point out that look on Husbands' face when you said "South African Accent" . Dude did a full on Double Take :D
Matt was like...wtf haha, How'd she guess that so precisely.
Especially since some of those actors weren't even South African.
My favorite line from this movie is “We’re back, we’re bad, you’re black, I’m mad.” Absolutely hysterical.
The fact that Riggs cares more about dogs than himself in this movie is hilarious. Also, the ‘You’re black’ scene was hilarious. Leo stole the movie, and he was a great addition to the cast.
This is my favourite of the Lethal Weapon series. It still has the dramatic tension of the first but just the right amount of comedy plus Leo is incredible. My sister and constantly say “It’s just been revoked” to each other
The "I love you!" after "nailed him" was a thing of beauty! Someday I can only dream of meeting a lady who would appreciate my terrible puns!
'Nailed 'em both.'
That and 'Just been revoked' are the two money lines of all-time. And Glover got, well, 'em both.
This was the last movie my brother and I watched with our mother at the cinema. She's 87 now, so just shows you how long.
I remember her yelping and screaming all the way through, and shouting out 'What about Sam!?'
One of the greatest cop tandems ever. I don't have a favorite lethal weapon movie, because I love them all equally. I have all 4 and never get tired of watching them. Just an all around great movie.
That never occurred to me about Rigg’s wife, but you’re absolutely right. They didn’t really need that to motivate Riggs. He could have told the story about Vicky’s death to remind the audience and then when the new girl dies it pushes him back into that dark place mentally.
I don't think we could have been satisfied.. But tying it in here I thought it was good.. It's something that Riggs can finally put to bed.. which was good considering where the next film goes.
I wasn't sad about Rica's death, she was so wrong for Riggs, they had nothing in common and were worlds apart. In number 3, Riggs meets his soulmate and that's why it's my favourite
I really feel like the original plan was for Riggs to go into berserker mode over all the cops getting killed, but they realized that didn't make any sense because they'd already established the only cop he cares about or has a relationship with is Murtaugh, so they had to bring back the ghost of his wife to justify him getting his psycho-superpowers back.
What happened to Rika was Riggs fault because why would you take her back to her apartment even though you knew the people who was trying to kill you were the same people she worked for and knew where she lived that's stupid
@@KT926 I felt bad for her because riggs should have never took her back to her apartment knowing that it was the people she worked with who was trying to kill them and knew where she lived he usually couldn't take her to the police station
Leo's rants are legendary, especially the one with Chris Rock in Lethal Weapon 4 :D
I showed this movie to my kids, they said it was "okay,okay,okay" lol
Lolol
Please say that you will do the 3rd and 4th movie too! Honestly I am impressed how good all 4 of these movies are. Personally the 3rd one is my favorite.
Idk it had the weakest villain in the franchise imo
Love them all but 3 is my least favourite. That said for most people 2 or 1 is there favorite & mine is 4
I'm not opposed to it but I definitely felt the movies started strong and got worse. That the first is considered a 'comedy' is only because of the sequels, where they leaned fully into it.
@@rxtsec1 I thought 4 was the worst. It was great seeing a young Jet Li, but the addition of Chris Rock was unnecessary. They had a good formula going with the Riggs/Murtaugh/Goetz thing...all Rock did was slow the film down because he had little or no acting experience, only his talent as a comedian which seemed a bit forced for this movie.
@@jeffburnham6611 obviously I didn't think that. Worked perfectly for me
Adding Joe Pesci was a brilliant move,having someone else to antagonize Riggs and Murtaugh
I kinda wondered whatever happened to him, all of a sudden he was just not in anything anymore. Apparently he retired in 1999 at age 55.
Yep, as Richard Donner has said, Leo was the third stooge. I love him too.
Adding new wacky characters to the mix each film is how Donner and the writers beat the staleness of the sequel syndrome.
@@Rikard_Nilsson If you haven’t seen it you should check out With Honors. It has Pesci. Brendan Fraiser, and Patrick Dempsey. Also My Cousin Vinnie. Two of my favorite Pesci films.
Pesci playing so against type in this was brilliant, too. He wasn't really known for his light humor and he pulled it off perfectly.
I felt that Riggs' grief over his wife's death was completed in the first film anyway. Hence, giving him a convenient closure here wasn't really much of an issue for me. The fact that she was murdered due to his occupation though does come back a bit in the sequels.
One of the biggest pops I ever heard from an audience was for "Just been revoked."
9:26 - Emily takes a guess and Matthew eyes her, and then the audience, almost as if to say, "She knows too much!"
Ok, ok, ok, ok, Emily was adorable for this reaction. lol
Cinematic Immunity has been reinstated.
I like two better than one, but every single one of these movies is great: They touch on real social issues and make an amazing action movie out of them. The action is amazing. No computer fakery. They don't use that shaky cam crap to hide anything. Each action scene is wonderfully choreographed, and directed. Each shot is perfectly edited to inform the audience what's going on. The acting is really good, and the comedy is gold. And they're always endlessly quotable: "They fuck you at the drive thru!!"
I love the running gag of Trish's station wagon getting wrecked every movie.
Hey if yall like 80s action comedies, you should react to Running Scared with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal. Underrated classic👌🏿
"I'm getting too old for this shot" is literally just an Old Fasioned but you dribble it down the front of yourself.
I was thinking Old Grand-Dad and prune juice 😆
This movie had one of the best trailer lines:
"Riggs and Murtagh are back..."
(Shows the scene of the exploding toilet)
"...and this time, they're not taking any crap."
Well, Emily loved the first two, I sincerely hope you watch the next two! Loved the reactions! Thank you.
I truly enjoy how much better you know Matt just watching movies. I use quotes just as often as he in regular conversation.
I love that the same director did all 4 movies. RIP Richard Donner
I have to say, I think your reaction to that commercial was the best lol
Fun fact: Mel Gibson was born in upstate New York to Irish parents. His maternal grandmother was Australian and when he was 12 moved to Australia.
I like the sequel better. The revelation about Riggs's wife feels kind of jarring because it feels out of nowhere even though there were scenes foreshadowing it; but despite that, Leo's presence elevates the film for me just because of how much he makes me laugh. Hell, I'd have given it a higher rating on the strength of "but--but---but--but--you're bleck!" all on its own.
I just have to say that this is a nice surprise, but I have to wake up for work in about 4 hours... And I'm too old for this shit
"I'm Getting Too Old For This Shot" = Pour half a shot of Rumpleminz and fill the rest of the shot with Bacardi 151 Rum. When I bartended I gave these out as birthday shots, but never gave it a proper name. People just called it "Mick's Birthday Shot"
My favorite of the Lethal Weapon movies for sure, funnier, added Leo, and got darn dark too by the end, perfection
"I'm gettin too old for this shot" --- Everclear, prune juice, and Geritol ....
I definitely understand Black's perspective on the whole thing and it must feel terrible to be rejected if he still after all these years thinks it's some of his best writing.
His vision of the character just didn't fit the idea of a movie franchise which is a shame, but I can see why he'd wanna give Riggs an ending like that. Riggs never fully recovers what he's been put through, he's always gonna have 'suicidal' part inside him along with the killer he can turn into.
I think this is my favourite of the Lethal Weapons. The third one is all right as well and wraps things up nicely. Fourth felt unnecessary.
Edit: And now we also know why there was a heli shootout at beach in Loaded Weapon, where they accidentally destroyed the wrong place and Bruce Willis showed up :p
Mythbusters tested 2 of the scenes in Lethal Weapon 2. The surfboard decapitation and the toilet bomb. 1 was busted and the other Confirmed. I miss Mythbusters.
Been with you since 'Airplane'. Came for the reaction, stayed for Emily's laugh. 🤣🥰🤣🥰🤣🥰
I really hope y'all do the other two I'm dying to see your reaction to them!!
This is one of the few sequels that I liked just as much as the original. The bit with the pen gets me every dang time. I actually loved all the LW movies and if they make another one, I'll see that too. And in this one, we get LEO!!!
I hope everyone has a great time zone. Night Mat. Night Em.
"What that? Dubloons? He a pirate?" Emily, stop! I'm laughing so hard I have to pause so I don't miss any of the upcoming reaction. 😂🤣
MATTHEW!!!!! if Emily has not seen the movie "BABE" and you are withholding that movie from her, you are just being cruel!!!!. LOL I know you guys have the movie on your list, but Emily is going to LOVE that movie. I think the only reason you have yet to show her that film is because once she sees it she will try and talk you into getting her a duck and a pig and you know you will not be able to say NO to her, HEHEHE
The look on his face when she guessed South Africa... XD
loved the tagline on the trailer for this movie.... "And this time they're not taking any crap" as the toilet goes through the window.
The absolute best is watching the look on Matthew’s face when he’s trying to hold back from commenting
You two are absolutely amazing ;D
P.S. Having a man behind the scenes makes this a million times better at some points - like his reaction when she correctly guesses, like a flippin' SUPER SLUETH, that the accent is South African, is amazing XD "Where did she learn this?!" XD
Go and watch the trailer for the movie---they actually use the line when the toilet landed on the car: "This time...they're not taking any crap."
Really loving your reactions guys. They r great. I would love to see u react to the movie the great escape. It’s a WW2 film from 1963. Starring Steve McQueen, James garner, Donald Pleasance, James coburn.
you 2 have become my very fav reactors from the music to your guys set up to the playful banter between you guys. you 2 are just Awesome ! i always look forward to your guys reactions . keep em coming . and yayyy Tiddies !!!
_"You down't won to gow to Seth Evriga...becoss you're bleck."_
_"You are. He is."_ 😂😂😂
"Hope it's not a bad commercial"
Matthews face says it all :D
Roger kills the first guy. Emily: “Nailed him.”😆
Roger kills the second guy. “Nailed them both.”
I was a little sad that they missed her reaction to that line. Or she didn't have one, which would have been just as bad.
17:39 "Really nailed him." 😂 Love it!!
Emily... your Betty Rubble giggle is beyond ADORABLE! 😁
I love all 4 of the "Lethal Weapon" movies! Although, the 3rd one is a tad light, and the 4th one is rather racist. But, all in all, they are all great action buddy cop movies!
love the re-use of the music from the first film as they drive to the house to get mr. joshua, in this film at the scene with the window
Hands down my favorite of the Lethal Weapon series. Everything about this one just clicked for some reason. The comedy, the action, the drama. To me it's the best of the series.
It's tough because Mr. Joshua is so epic, but, yeah, this one clicks
I think the classic Jaeger bomb would be the very definition of "I'm getting too old for this"
THAT'S what I thought, too!
Wow Great summation at the end. I love to hear how people collaborate on things like albums and movies.
"I'm getting too old for this shot" is 1/2 ounce of Bacardi 151, and 1/2 ounce of pineapple juice.
Developed such a fast crush on Rika that it broke my heart when she died. And I thought she was perfect for Riggs, the eye of serenity to calm his storm.
Also, third time suggesting 'Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight' 😁
Not to mention, Patsy Kensit is one of the most excruciatingly beautiful women I've ever seen. The camera loves her. I was 17 when this came out. My friends and I crushed hard on Patsy Kensit.
R.I.P. to Joss Ackland, aka Rudd. Diplomatic Immunity never sounded more insane.
LOL 😂 that look your husband gave u and then the camera at 9:28 was hilarious!!
I feel like they wanted to let Riggs get revenge for his wife cause originally they had planned for Riggs to die in the end of the film. Hence why the movie ends the way it does. They weren't sure if they wanted to continue the series.
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime Murtaugh says "Riggs".
I think the point about Riggs wife being killed by the South Africans is that he didn't know that. So up until that point he thought that it was just a random accident, which as you say then lead to his psychological state up until that point. So by him learning that wasn't the case in LW2 and having the chance to avenge her death, it opens up the chance for him to move on in later films rather than constantly using that trope throughout every film.
First movie I saw with Joe Pesci. It was quite an adjustment seeing him in Goodfellas after that.
Really enjoyed your post movie discussion. I hate studio interference.
Just as your video was finishing up I glanced at a packet of salt in the kitchen cupboard and saw made in South Africa.
You should have watched this before Loaded Weapon 1. You would have got more of the references since a lot of gags are from the second Lethal Weapon movie. As for diplomatic immunity, there is an ongoing issue between the UK and the US where Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US diplomat accidentally killed a British kid with her car by driving on the wrong side of the road. She fled back to the US because she had diplomatic immunity at the time.
Me and my friend saw this in the theater.....and somehow we left with a buzz from watching all the action, especially the semi trailer falling at the end..
I gotta feeling a Lethal Weapon 3 & Lethal Weapon 4 reaction is around the corner
You two are a joy to watch. You're people id hang with,so its cool.
the carpenter's reaction to the commercial is killin me, and I've seen this movie like a thousand times.
Now Emily can rewatch "Loaded Weapon 1" to get a lot more of the jokes.
Your cat is a total love sponge.
Couple of fun facts: 1) The female cop with Riggs & Murtaugh, when they are at the station, and in the 'house on stilts,' is the same actress who played John Connor's foster mum in Terminator 2. 2) When Riggs, Leo, and the bad guy all fall into the hotel pool (the InterContinental Hotel Century City), you can see the lower floors of a skyscraper in the near distance, beyond the hotel walls. That is Fox Plaza, aka Nakatomi Plaza (to Die Hard fans). You have already watched both of those movies 👍
I love how this movie series grows throughout the movies... The people move on, grow up, some questions are raised and eventually answered... There is this one big exposition in the fourth movie that is just priceless.
"Once or twice?!" XD Perfect! You two are amazing! Oh my goodness ;D Thank you for more laughter inside of 30 or 40 minutes than I can remember in the last MONTH!
"You go that way, I'll go home." I got that reference.
Now you two *have* to do Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.
_"I wuz jus checkin' I wussn't stending on plestic."_ 😂😂😂
Oy carnt serve yoo becoz yor bleck 😂
"Hank from Breaking Bad" - He's also one of the SWAT guys in T2, who shoot Miles Dyson in the Cyberdyne Systems building, he's the one who see's Dyson holding the object above the detonator as he's dying, and tells everyone to evacuate now.
Also, the bad guy from the very beginning who loses all the Krugerrand, is the psychopath from Shawshank Redemption, in the 'Sisters' gang who would attempt to rape and beat Andy constantly (until he got ruined by the Lead Guard (Clancy Brown) who was also The Kurgan in Highlander.)
I could keep doing this all day...I watch too many movies.
For me this is the best of the 4 Lethal Weapon movies. Rather than trying to recycle old gags which would never live up to the first movie, a common mistake in sequels, they introduced Joe Pesci and made the humour new and fresh. Tons of action, touches on a very relevant subject of the time which in some ways is atill relevant, and really ties in with the first movie well, especially with Riggs' wife's death, bringing a new level of closure to the caracter.
Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US diplomat (and supposedly a CIA spy) killed a motorcyclist in Great Briton while driving on the wrong side f the road. She fled the scene of the accident, fled the country, and has NEVER been extradited or held criminally responsible... due to "Diplomatic Immunity".
She deserves all of the claps and pats she wants, because she absolutely NAILED that accent :D I mean, it's not obscure or necessarily rare, but come on, that's a good ear!
I knew that catchphrase behind you was gonna come, I was waiting for it XD
Seeing this vid for the first time. And even tho this was posted a couple months ago, just really wanted to comment...
That episode of TNG you guys mentioned... EASILY one of my favs.
in the orginal script, Martin Rigg's was suppose to die but Mel Had a good time shooting the movie and decided to request not be killed off.
You should watch the original teaser trailer. It focuses on the toilet scene. "This time they're not taking any crap."
Pippin on the cat bed! I'm sorry to be so fixated on this, I know Mathew and Emily are the stars. "I'm getting too old for this shot" is a fantastic name for a drink but I'm the wrong person to ask what it would be. As previously stated, my only experience in naming drinks was a beer based cocktail called "Anal Seepage".
Hahahaha! ;)
they've been..dekaffirnated lol. my fav line from this movie. cant wait for parts 3 and 4!
Yay! Lethal Weapon, one of my most favourite action comedy trilogies! Just as good as the Die Hard trilogy.
Guys!!!!
The only 'knowledge' I have on diplomatic immunity comes from Stan Lee about Doctor Doom; lord of Latveria, who couldn't be arrested by any super-hero! Stan even said that what he liked most about Doom is that "Conquering the World isn't illegal!" It's what you do to get there that can be I guess.
I love the double take side glance at ~9:26 when she figured out the accent :)
Guys, C'mon. A shot that could be called "I:m too old for this shot"? Isn't it obvious?
Tequila!
For Diplomatic immunity, the state department can revoke their credentials. This forces them to leave the country. The country of origin can then take the evidence and try them, or even turn them over to the authorities in the country where the crimes were committed. However, I think a consulate has less protection then a main Embassy.
Yea and I think the real issue in this movie was the opinion that they wouldn't be prosecuted back home or something - justice would not be delivered to the extent that Riggs and Murtaugh required (inevitably: death penalty)
This reaction reminded me of a film that I would love to, nay, need to see a reaction to; The 1999 cult classic "The Boondock Saints"
I don't know if Matt has watched this suggestion himself, but if he hasn't then a double first time watching would be quite epic.
And if he has, he probably knows the exact scene that made me think of that movie from this reaction 😅
Isn't "I'm Getting Too Old for This Shot" just another name for a Jaeger Bomb?
