Advantages: Buddy movie; humour; Gary Busey; stunts Disadvantages: The Sequels that followed
Some movies just don't seem to age at all, and despite Gibson's trademark 80's mullet Lethal Weapon is one of them. This is not your typical Schwarzenegger-esque blow-shit-up-just-for-the-sake-of-it action movie, followed by a host of witty one liners (which I still love by the way); this is actually a respectably paced movie about two mismatched cops, whose irreconcilable personalities are interestingly developed throughout. The stunts aren't half bad either (definitely no CGI here).
Danny Glover is the safe, no nonsense cop, Roger Murtaugh, on the verge of retirement, who has a nice family and nice home to be proud of. On the contrary, Mel Gibson stars as Martin Riggs, a cop on the edge after the recent death of his wife, who no one wants to work with- he is the "lethal weapon", trained in martial arts and ais n expert in ...
Advantages: great action and entertainment Disadvantages: none
the death of his wife.
Riggs is an expert at many things, including shooting and martial arts, and with his violent nature he is considered to be a 'Lethal Weapon'.

As the dynamic duo dig further into the apparent suicide they soon realise that they are becoming involved in more than they bargained for? including Heroin smuggling, army special forces and a rather bizarre blond man named Mr Joshua, (played by Gary Busey).
