Lethal Weapon 1-4

Laura Brooks77 said:honestly, the fourth one isn't even that great

Man, I gotta disagree on that one—Lethal Weapon 4 is actually a blast! ☕

Watched the beginning yesterday. Script was pretty mindless, almost like I wrote it myself.☕And I’m definitely not much of a writer.☕Mel was good, though. I don't get how someone who started filming looking one way turned into what he is now.🤷Big disappointment from the studio heads?🤷The producers? Maybe. But the chemistry between him and Danya Glover was unreal, so I’m not buying the whole "Mel is a racist" angle they've been pushing lately.

Childhood movies😁 Mel and Gloover have incredible chemistry, especially once Joe Pesci joins the mix.😂

Honestly, two scenes totally tripped me up, like I've completely missed them before: right at the start, Mel Gibson takes out some psycho sniper who's just spraying bullets everywhere, and then halfway through, he picks up some young girl in his car and heads home to watch a movie. Is this some kind of director's cut or am I just being an idiot?

😉 yeah, I'm wondering the same thing

😕 don't get it

There is absolutely no chemistry there; they aren't gay, so stop trying to ruin it for me🙂😂

I did a little digging—this is the director's cut from 2000. That sniper scene is just plain stupid, honestly. Apparently, the movie also had some alternative openings and endings:

Honestly, all four of them are equally brilliant in my eyes. I find myself returning to them constantly; I’ve probably watched the entire series at least 50 times now—which breaks down to about 12.5 viewings for each installment.

Haha, yeah, just grab the cat!🤣🤣

Personally, the chemistry between him and Danya Glover is nothing short of phenomenal, so I flatly refuse to buy into this narrative that Mel is some kind of racist just because that's how people are trying—or succeeding—to paint him lately.

Hold on—who actually said Mel is a racist? It seems to be mostly people who don't even grasp what racism entails. Where has he ever made a statement against Black people, Chinese people, or Hispanics? If a character doesn't like Jews, that's their prerogative; being Jewish isn't a race. Besides, it isn't necessarily anti-semitism as they constantly frame it—because by that logic, one would have to hate Arabs too, which doesn't have to be true. If a person simply doesn't like Jews, that's their business, but it doesn't make them a racist. To be perfectly blunt, I don't particularly care for Jews myself, so what? It's not that I hate them or anything extreme like that; it's just that, personally, I find them off-putting. Of course, you shouldn't generalize, but honestly, what has Mel Gibson said about Jews that wasn't the truth? What "untruth" are they talking about regarding the fact that they make up 40% of Hollywood? Is it actually possible that everyone else—Europeans, Black people, Hispanics, Chinese people, etc.—is so untalented at acting, writing, and directing that they just happen to dominate the industry like that? But fine... go ahead and say something like that and see how quickly you get canceled for telling the truth.

As for this series, I don't have much to say... the fourth installment feels a bit weaker than the previous three, but hey... it's still my favorite duo.

He truly shined in this series. Honestly, my one complaint about the first installment is that he wasn't even in it.🙂

Movies you can watch any time of day, week, month, or year. 😍

Exactly! That’s always the deciding factor! 😍
The greatest series ever made.🤣

Honestly, that fourth quarter is where the real magic happens; it's easily the strongest part of the game, especially when you consider the sheer momentum from those deep three-pointers and that absolute adrenaline rush they get from being high on life.🤣🤣
