Welcome to our firsttime watching Lethal Weapon (1987). Diving in head first into the world of '80s action films. This iconic buddy cop film starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover was such a fun and thrilling ride! Both of these actors did an amazing job. The dynamic chemistry between Riggs and Murtaugh is through the roof and made us root for both of them almost immediately.
Directed by Richard Donner there are many elements we enjoyed from this. The grittiness, the comedy, the action and specifically the way those scenes were filmed etc.
"Lethal Weapon" introduces us to the mismatched detective duo, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), as they navigate the dangerous underworld of Los Angeles. The film has some pretty intense action sequences and explores how these characters learn to work with each other finding their own strengths and learning from their partner. It's safe to say this film has had a lasting impact on the action genre and we believe it's for a lot of good reasons!
We hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into this '80s classic in the action genre, what makes us root for Riggs and Murtaugh so much, and how the explosive set pieces combined with witty banter makes Lethal Weapon such a joy to watch.
