This is the movie where I (and I dare say, most of America) fell in love with Mel Gibson. He makes Martin Riggs a butt-kicking, lovable, slightly crazy hero. |

Though it had been done before, you can't say the buddy cop adventure has been done much better. Glover and Gibson are the perfect "odd couple" pairing. Plus it has a plot that's just as good as the chemistry. |

Best Buddy Flick Franchise!! |

Lethal Weapon caught me and everybody completely off guard. It was a film that no one saw coming. Mel Gibson was known for his work on the Mad Max films but he was still relatively obscure in Hollywood. Danny Glover was more or less a serious actor, hence his role in Color Purple. But could anyone have been prepared for what this movie accomplished? Could you be prepared for what it has spawned and created? Lethal Weapon is a tour de force of action and comedy. Richard Donner will be forever remembered for his role in this movie. But to me, as terrific as his direction is and as amazing as Gibson and Glover are and as terrific as a script that Shane Black has written, there is one unsung hero in this film and many other films that have entertained us for the last 20 years. The action is g... |

Good Movie |
|
One of my all time favorites. The Mel Gibson-Danny Glover team is unbeatable. SGT RIGGS (Mel Gibson) is the loco cop of this story who happens to be assigned to partner with SGT MURTAUGH (Danny Glover). DANNY GLOVER became too involved with his partner that GIBSON had become a new family member to the Murtaughs. A good combination of great laughs and super action. |

Riggs and Murtaugh original in at #44.......... |
|
You could tell the moment they were in a scene together that Mel Gibson and Danny Glover had something special here. Add director Richard Donner's dynamite direction and you have an instant success. I love the original as Busey plays the perfect bad guy here and Gibson really takes off as our hero. America truly fell in love with Mel here as a charming and lovable but yet lethal and dangerous cop set out to take on all the bad guys. The action is non stop, the chemistry starts to unfold and the viewer is just along for the ride in this first installment of a four movie franchise. All we needed was a love interest for Riggs......hint, hint.......... |
