I'm too old for this shit! I'm never getting too old to watch Lethal Weapon. It's perfectly cast, it's written greatly by Shane Black, it has humor, it's dark, the final fight between Riggs (Mel Gibson and Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) looks beautiful with the helicopter light in the back and water raining down and it's one of the best buddy cop movies out there.

One of the best cop action-comedies ever. Carried by the excellent performances off Gibson and Glover and by the chemistry between them. A classic that you should not miss.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think the PC thing is that I'm not supposed to like this one but I'm supposed to like the horrible TV series instead? Something like that?

Forget about it this is Shane Black at his finest macho shoot 'em up standards. And it's fun.

We got the edge Cochise.

Close to retirement, Detective Sergeant Roger Murtaugh is a bit disturbed to find he's breaking in a new partner. Even more so when it turns out to be fellow Detective Martin Riggs, who since the death of his wife has scant regard for life, his own or those around him.
