@@gilbag Thanks for that constructive point. Many simply feel modern cinema is complete dog shit, which it is, compared to the 80's and 90's. I can certainly relate
@@rafabetico17che Nope. It is Not. Modern cinema is just as good as it was 40 years ago or 60 years ago for that matter. Don’t look at the big blockbusters as the watermark for an era’s cinema quality. Look at the films that garner critical and award attention.
@@gilbag Modern action movies are complete and utter guff. The genre has been butchered by the nerdy cash cow of Marvel dog shit. There have been some great movies in the last decade but action like these from 80's/90's is dead. They no longer have the ability to make bold and patriotic, masculine movies for fear of offending. Hence, they are refined and shitty.
I remember hearing this at the movie and left directly to go get it at the record store, I will forever love ❤️ sting for this song. In the mood can't stop the continuous hit the replay of this song ❤ to my core
Whatever happened to smooth, cool rock like this? When the tune would just roll and cruise, as if we had all the time in the world to just sit back and chill to this vibe? Modern humans just don't have the attention span required to appreciate this anymore.
"That a was a machine pistol. That kid woulda drilled you, me--ANYONE who woulda come along!"--Martin Riggs to a drunken Roger Murtaugh in the boat scene. Tremendous acting--and heartbreaking.
2023, I'm feeling nostalgic hearing this great song and seeing pictures from 90s action movies. Want to binge watch lethal weapon but I'm not sure I should. Will my memories be trashed watching them again? Do they stand the test of time?
RIP both Richard donner and Mary Ellen trainor Richard donner did an amazing job doing all four of the lethal weapon movies I will honor Richard Donner's legacy of the lethal weapon movies he directed for a very long time. As for Mary Ellen trainor who was in all four of the lethal weapon movies she will also be remembered as the best actress for her role as Dr Stephanie woods who didn't deserve to die from pancreatic cancer in 2015 five years before Richard donner died but they are both forever remembered as legends always and forever. And we will deeply miss them both.
Ah good memories! Saw this one at the theater back then when I was sweet 14 😌 Right about that time it was when a handful movies had these opening scenes / music videos (with real music performed by real artists) that really made you wanna see the film. The other remarkable example would be T2 a year earlier. Good memories indeed.
Richard Donner did a wonderful saga with the Lethal Weapon films, back in the time when film directors were judged for their work on camera instead of some dumb sh*t they said on Twitter. I wish WB never played him dirty with Superman sequels when they caved in and ravaged the films and Christopher Reeve career in the process.
@@ThatDoesntWorkForMeBrother Yes!A more of a death wish and a controlled lunatic type of a James Bond.A Bond that was not going to be classy like the others,more like a rebel,but with the same combat abilities,moral and self discipline.It would of been a nice implement in the 90s vibe.That would be Mel Gibson.Gee i wonder how they haven't thought about that.
Great movies, Lethal Weapon series I'm watching it right now on TBS all in a row I love the opening song on part 3. With Sting singing oh, it's probably me they don't make movies like that anymore they don't make anything like that anymore not even the music screen anymore anyway I'm enjoying my day watching old movies with this pandemic. God bless, stay safe. Peace out😷☺🎶🐾✌❤👍🙏
@@moparman5058 Yup, you're right. The version on 10 Summoner's Tales ain't nearly as good as this one. Bought the cassette when the movie came out in 1992 & must've listened to this tune a 1000 times that summer.
Lethal Weapon movies are an institution and reminiscent of that era of film- which they don’t/can’t do anymore. If I hear that Clapton lick or that saxophone- I’m instantly taken right back. You know the one I mean 😏

Rumour has it that Lethal Weapon 5 will be the female version…
One of the hardest intro's ever, hands down
Hooaah!
On the level of.... Its dark and hell is hot by dmx and Makaveli by 2pac/Makaveli.. Both intro songs are 🔥 🔥 🔥 like this
A shame they didn't just use the original cut by Sting off of Ten Summoner's Tales....guess it wasn't edgy enough

@@dannygillmusic this is definitely the better version
RIP Richard Donner! :'( you created some awesome movies, you will be deeply missed :'(
Yep... Was a great Director
One of few I point to that is TRULY great at working with kids. Some directors have that, some don't.
Back then the acting and musical scores was sooo good made you think you were in the film right with ‘em ahhh 😩nastalgia
TRUTH
They sadly don't make them like this anymore (movies and songs)
Mel Gibson’s working on lethal weapon five for 2025?
Such a powerful and evocative song, takes me back to better days.
Not only you.
These three men are legends! Donner, Gibson and Glover! Thanks for all the hours of enjoyment with these films!!
Badass opening sequence.
Agreed! :-)
I grew up in the 2000s era so I’m one of the gen Z’s and even I know this opening was badass.
"Rog..."
"Yeah?"
"Grab the cat!"
Might be my fav ever...too bad the movie doesn't due the credits justice lol but yes one BAD ASS set of credits.
@@Channel51_LA Words Riggs. Word Rog... If they do another one, the trailer should END with that call back. Word Riggs. Word Rog lmfao

In a cinema. Yea short attention span and corona
So smooth and not at all boring or dull. Just cool
Well said bruv🙂
Best film of the Lethal Weapon quadrilogy. Even has an excellent post credits scene way before Marvel made it a hallmark of their films.
Probably watched it 40 times before I saw it, big surprise for me.🔥
@@whome6764 Yes. Maybe the reason why it gets criticized is because it is just too much fun at times. Critics hate that.....

Watched this again the other day and the acting in this scene is superb. Both brilliant actors
Without a doubt, the perfect vibe and expression for Detectives Riggs and Murtaugh. Many thanks, Sting. You nailed it.
Eric Clapton as Well
Took me years to realize it, but this is actually the existing Riggs & Murtaugh theme with lyrics overlaid
1992 Was A Excellent Year For Music & Movies
This series's cast didn't make movies, it made friendships
And future law enforcement officers
Great Artist and very True and Beautiful Qualities that Exuded Professionalism Every Time 😊😅🎉😂❤ miss Donner and the Captain the Cast was Perfect 😊😅🎉🎉❤
I love Lethal Weapon 3. It's my favorite of them all. It doesn't get the respect it deserves.
I love all 4 films and they should make a part 5
The Leo Getz guy is irritating. ok ok ok
Its probaly my favortie out of the set.
All are great - but this was the first one I saw in theaters watched it a million times on laserdisc
Most definitely I was born in 1992 when the movie was released
@@adanrios7951 Yeh I love 3
I grew up in an era of wonderful and epic classics like this one
And now the question is, are they classics for us cuz we were young at that time ?
I'm always get a bit of a Bond vibe from the opening
I think of Richard Donnor when I hear this song.
Richard Donnor is from the Bronx. We love fire lol Bronx is burning... Hehehe fire fire opening sequence is fire too
I agree, this does feel a lot like a James Bond movie theme song.
Mel gibson as 007 with this theme song will be epic😎😎😎
love it
Damn sexy opening. They just do not make movies like this any longer.
That feeling you get when you realize that you've been both of the characters in this song.
And the other guy is the other guy in both scenarios, too.
"Rog."
"Yeah?"
"Grab that cat!!!"
Son of bitch lol
Riggs: oops
Rog: right... Opps🤣
Next time, wait for the Bomb Squad.....
This is definitely in my top 5 favorite openings, omg timeless imho
Lethal weapon one of the best movies in history
This reminds me of being a kid, love all the films but 3 ima is the best it's got everything 😀
1:24 The single most badass opening credit moment ever.
Lethal weapons my favourite films ever and this is my favourite lethal weapon intro song
Agreed :-)
Remember buying this on VHS back in 1993, was only a teen back then, just introduced this series to my wife this year, lol.
Grew up with these films and always remember this song. What a classic possibly my fav songs of all time due solely to this intro. 🥃
Terminator 2 Judgment Day & Lethal Weapon 3 has the best opening credits in movie era.
Much, MUCH better than the version he did for 10 Summoners Tales. Must've listened to this tune a 1000 times during the summer of 1992.
Brings back great memories!!!
Facts
It feels like I'm stuck in a time warp such a awesome trilogy👍
So epic...
The movie, the plot, the characters and the soundtrack... They all just cling together perfectly, which we see very rarely indeed...
took me back in time, 17 at the movies on a saturday night .. them days.. an absolute classic
1:33-2:14 all instruments are perfect👌👌😍
Always have goosebumps when I watch this
2023, I'm feeling nostalgic hearing this great song and seeing pictures from 90s action movies. Want to binge watch lethal weapon but I'm not sure I should. Will my memories be trashed watching them again? Do they stand the test of time?

Great cut, for this movie and a mind sticker!!!!

When movies were bad ass. They truly don’t make em this way anymore.

My Sophomore HS year, I saw this movie in a packed theater, the first night it came out. The audience cheered when they did the "3" reveal.
Love this ,i am never too old for this track or these movies
Nice adaptation ;-)
Can't believe this film is now 30 years old!
We're getting too old for this shit
The best way to start a epic cop movie lethal weapon 3 amazing 👍
Wow amazing 🥰😭☺️👍

Theyre timeless
I like franchise like toy story, Harry Potter,Scream,Fast and furious, Transformers, ice age and more!

Now this was the REAL movie shit!
Perfect pairing of song n movie .. When music n movies were great ..
One of my favorite entries songs to a movie 💯

Three gods of Music in one place
"Are you all friends?"
"NO. WE'RE FAMILY!"

At least it can be found easily... Sometimes i really want some movies score but they're like ghosts 🤷♂️

Best intro ever!
"Rog.... grab the cat." Gets me everytime 😭 🤣
This is amazing, me and dad listening to this on the balcony in Tenerife reminiscing only good times
great edition!
Thanks :-)
In comedy-action-buddy-movie, the Lethal weapon franchise is the best by far. Great to review again and again and again.
Why doesn’t this have a million likes already?!?
Listening to this makes me want to watch all 4 films
I remembered watching this when I was 8, and I was really impressed with the song.
Best intro of the world
Amazing movie and song
This one and Mad Max Thunderdome opening sequence are the best !
Richard Donner. The Michael Bay of the 80’s
Err...Donner is better
Как по мне то:
1. Третья часть САМАЯ лучшая.
2. Песни Стинга вообще суппер, а к трек к фильму ШЕДЕВРАЛЕН.
Моё субъективное мнение.
Eric Clapton💙 Sting
How spoiled were we to grow up in that era of entertainment... Cheers to you all from 🇫🇷.
Sting is absolutely brilliant I love his music
I agree to be able to make songs where you only understand the last three words. Pretty impressive
Happy 30th anniversary, Lethal Weapon 3.
This could easily be the theme song for the whole series; the melody goes all the way back to the first movie.
There Won't be another franchise like Lethal Weapon...Gosh! Why people become older!
Best cinema Picture for ever
It just makes me feel something. It feels so good
I love this melted movie intro with strings...
Lethal Weapon movies are an institution and reminiscent of that era of film- which they don’t/can’t do anymore. If I hear that Clapton lick or that saxophone- I’m instantly taken right back. You know the one I mean 😏
