yea COBY congrats on startin the L weapon series, I love the 2nd one and a special mob actor joins them lol. iTs a fun wild ride right thru the 4th one with a wild plot so enjoy them all🤗
I don't know what's more irritating, your vocal fry or your upspeak.
This is a character driven series. Family is cornerstone. It's more than a "buddy cop" schtick. By the time you finish #4 you'll fully understand.😊😊
Gary Bussey is such a great actor in his day. If you really like him, he actually plays a 'good guy' role (albeit still a little crazy - which is what he does best) for a change in a stand out movie (read: tear jerker) called "BIG WEDNESDAY". It stars Jan Michael Vincent, Gary Bussey, William Katt, Patti D'Arbanville, and Lee Purcell. All excellent actors. Such a great feel movie.
The golden standard of the Buddy Cop genre
*This whole SAGA is a must watch*
Mel Gibson is supposed to be directing Lethal Weapon 5. Richard Donner was planning on directing it but unfortunately passed away. He asked Mel to take over if he couldn’t do it.
Mitchell Ryan played the dad on Dharma and Greg. He was also the dad in Grosse Pointe Blank.
Loved that show. The actress who played Greg's mother was hilarious.
And Jim Carrey's boss in Liar Liar.
Also in General Hospital
Now you are ready to see the movie, Maverick, with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
There's a particular scene involving a heist and a cameo.
Glad to see you starting your Lethal Weapon journey. I love these movies. Richard Donner directed all four films. I love watching his movies: The Goonies, Superman, The Omen(1976), Scrooged and Timeline, to name a few. Shane Black wrote for all four films as well. Another movie he worked on as a writer was The Monster Squad from 1986. I love the characters of Riggs and Roger in these movies. I also love the bond that develops between them. Looking forward to your reaction to Lethal Weapon 2, which is my favorite from the franchise. I was 16 when the first film came out and instantly loved it.
Don't forget Shane Black also wrote Predator and also was one of the Spec Forces guys.
Love the channel and your reactions. Just a little pet peeve of mine…there’s a difference between watching something formulaic ….and watching the origin or the formula itself. LW and 48 hrs created the buddy cop genre so I think they’re above that term IMHO 😊
yes we will remind her of context in future , it’s important to know that
Also "Running Scared" w/ Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. It didn't make a huge impact, but it came out the year before LW. Really it can go all the way back to 1949 with Kurosawa's "Stray Dog" with several more buddy cop films in the 60s and 70s. Lethal Weapon, however, perfected it. What I didn't get was the scene with Murtaugh mistaking RIggs for a gunman followed by the "That's so 80s" remark. I can't pin down why that would be peculiar to the 1980s.
Exactly this. This movie helped CREATE the formula. Classic. ❤
They absolutely didn't create the genre lmao. In The Heat Of The Night, Stray Dog, Freebie & the Bean all existed by now, plus buddy cops were already prevalent on TV (Cagney & Lacey, Starsky & Hutch, Ponch & John).
@@xavvi This is the benefit of actually living through it….NONE of those were comedic buddy comedy/action movies. 48 hrs main praise during its release (I saw it in theaters) was how groundbreaking it was …also there are far more films that emulated LW and its tropes than something like In the heat of the night which was far more a drama/detective story than action ride.
I love how she called it right at the end. Bravo. I hope you liked it.
Your main bad guy was Mitchell Ryan, a character actor for many years. Died a few years back.
Thank you for your reaction and killer smiles !
I come here cuz Coby's the best
at giving me a few minutes rest
from the negatives around me
cuz instead she surrounds me
with a ray of sunshine from out West
“He exploded”. Priceless
“Formula” and “predictable.” Yes, because every buddy-cop movie since has ripped this off!
1984, Axel, Billy and Taggart?
Mitchell Ryan(1934-2022) The latest series he was a regular in was Dharma & Greg 1997 - 2002.
It bums me out a bit to see Gary Busey in his pre-brain damage days. Such a good actor!
_Big Wednesday_ ~ _Point Break_
Buddy Holly biopic.
The last guy that holds Gibson hostage at the Xmas tree lot that he headbutts is the dad of red hot chili peppers singer
McAllister (Mitchell Ryan) was Jim Carrey's boss in Liar, Liar and Minnie Driver's dad in Grosse Pointe Blank. He was Greg's dad in Dharma & Greg.
A steaming worthless pile of 😂
80’s Action movies are so good
new subscriber...loved your Rocky reactions.....have fun ...we will. ✌️💯
25:59 This is an interesting observation, but Richard Donner never shot alot of coverage for his movies in general. Like Spielberg, he always knew what he wanted and did not want to waste time with a lot of unnecessary coverage.
Riann is 16 in the first Lethal Weapon.
But the actress was actually 25 years old at the time of filming.
One of the best buddy cop action comedy movies ever made!
I watched the second and third film on NBC back in the early 90's.
I've seen this movie 100 times, and I never noticed the twin sister in the yearbook
:"Clever girl!"
After no mention in any of the comments, I have to point out how good the music is...by Eric Clapton & Michael Kamen.
Haha I mentioned it on the LW 2 reaction 😀 David Sanborn on sax, and closing credits song by George Harrison.
Time stamp 5:31 Riggs in a fit of depression puts his Beretta model 92 in his mouth and Coby says "that won't kill you." Yes, it will kill you DRT, even with the full metal jacket 9 mm Riggs at some point erroneously claims is a hollow point. The bullet would hit the back of the throat and exit from the back of the neck or head severing either the brain stem or the top of the spinal column. Either way, Dead Right There.
My occasional marathon movies 🎥🍿 Have to say PLEASE 🙏 leave more of the Banter and Quotes in!! Most of us watch these reactions to watch you React to these moments versus just knowing you're watching a movie with a title we like. So "The General" actor Mitchell Ryan was one of many actors that was in a thousand Detective and Cop shows; Rockford Files, Columbo, Barnaby Jones, etc. All 4 movies are awesome I think!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
“Cheesy” is a word I apply to something that is unintentionally bad. In this case, and a lot of movies from that time period, what you’re seeing was an intentional stylistic choice. Not quite “breaking the fourth wall”, but winking at the audience to some degree, and being fine with sacrificing realism for entertainment. “Heightened reality”. Audiences were clearly fine with it too. At the same time, the culture was different, and some of that is the way people actually acted. They didn’t take themselves too seriously, and they weren’t as hyper-sensitive.
Overall though, this was a way of making movies that was better than what’s happening now. And definitely more popular and successful. The real skill was having a fine balance between action, comedy, drama and romance all in one film. Raiders Of The Lost Ark is probably the ultimate example. Maintaining tension while cracking jokes is not easy.
I’m not saying it’s the best movie ever made, but it has strengths. There were several scenes cut that ramped up how messed up Mel Gibson’s character was, but I think that was wise, because he’s more sympathetic in the release version, and the movie is less dark than it would have been.
This should be fun.
Oddly enough, one of the enduring scenes for me from these movies (1st, I think?) is Murtaugh showing his son how to shave. I like how, despite them being action movies, the directors took time to show small, quiet moments like that.
It’s from the third one, after Nick’s friend is killed.
It keeps getting so much better and funnier....it's the only movie series I can think of that improves
I saw this in the theatre, March 6 1987. I've been a Mel Gibson fan since the early 80s when his Aussie movies to over the world. Mel was the one to bring Australia to North America. The Mad Max Series(79-85), Gallipoli(1981), Attack Force Z(1982), The Year of Living Dangerously(1982). All great movies. Mel became an International Star making 3 Hollywood movies in one year, The Bounty(1984) (Excellent true story movie), Miss Soffel(1984), The River(1984). Mel made 9 movies from 79-85. He got burnt out & sick and had to go back to his Farm in Australia for 2 years to get healthy. Lethal Weapon was his come back film. Been a fan of Danny Clover since Witness(1985). Excellent movie made by Australia greatest film maker Peter Weir. The 3rd Star of Lethal Weapon is Director Richard Donner, who directs all 4 movies. Any movie directed by him is worth watching. Ricard Donner has made many classics. This movie series also has the most positive Black Family in movie history! All 4 movies keep all the family actors and gives them growth.
You got to see Maverick (1994) if you haven't, with Mel Gibson and directed by Richard Donner.
Also, Ransom (1996) is a must watch and one of Mel Gibson's best performances. Definitely makes for a good reaction on the channel.
It's an awesome movie. It's the audience that's changed, humor lost of a lot of today.
I worked on a tv show in which we shot part of an episode at Shane Black’s house (i imagine it’s just “one” of his houses). We didn’t have access to the entire house but we shot mostly in the “Ball Room”. Yes he has a Ball Room. The Ball Room was attached to the house and massive. It is 20-30x the size of my entire apartment. The ceilings were like 30 feet high, and it was about 150ft by 75ft in length and width. It was the perfect size for a decent size house party or screening. I didn’t see much of the rest of the interior but the property itself is impressive. I think they said the oil Barron from There will be Blood owned a lot of the land in this gated community at one point. Guess he deserves it though, Shane has some legendary screenwriting credits under his belt. 80’s and 90’s gold.
You left out the most relevant part of the story.... what was the tv show????
@@bossfan49 the show wasn’t important because it was a bullshit NBC series that got cancelled during the strike. It was called Grand Crew. We did 2 seasons and nobody watched it that’s why i didn’t mention it. 🤣 But it’s common for rich people in LA rent to rent out their mansions for filming TV and movies. I have worked at some incredible properties, but it’s almost always people you’ve never heard of. That’s why it was special working at Shane Black’s house.
4:45 "One of the guys looked like he got pelted but he was only shot once."
Yeah.
By a shotgun.
One "shot" from a shotgun fires many pellets that spread out.
Great for short range accuracy because even if your aim is a bit off, some of those spreading pellets probably hit anyway.
At that short range, maybe 15-20 feet like we saw, they don't spread much so they all hit that guy in the chest.
Busey also plays a great bad guy in UNDER SEIGE. One of Steven Segals last good movies before started putting out trash and was one of the few movies actually filmed on the actual USS MISSOURI
This and Die Hard are my favorite Christmas movies. The theory on Riggs jumping with the guy is that he could control how the guy landed. Landing wrong can break your neck. No one would actually do that but it's a good plot device.
You saying that 50 isn't old just made you my favorite person 😅
Easy for her to say since she's not going to look 50 until she's 70.
50 not old? Depends on your line of work. 😂😂😂😂
I have a couple of loose ties to this movie. One of my family names is Hunsucker, also commonly spelled Hunsicker and Hunsaker. During the 1940's and 1950's, my grandmother Hunsucker had a frock shop across Wilshire from The Wiltern.
"they blow over this huge trauma"...yeah, it's the 80's and he's a guy. The scene that best depicts that is between their captain and the shrink when he says, "and if he offs himself we'll know I was wrong." It's how it was. It's how I was raised. It sucked, lol. Great reaction
PS, I've watch her reactions on your other channel. Everyone I've seen on your channels is fun to watch but she's by far my favorite. Great job.
thanks ! checking out some of your reactions now !
@@criminalcontent you’re welcome. This is my music reaction channel. I’ve been doing film and tv @tna_
5:24 "That won't kill you."
Of course not. He has to pull the trigger first.
Jokes aside, yes it will, almost always.
Self inflicted gunshot wounds that penetrate the skull are fatal more than 95 percent of the time.
That gun, that angle, it definitely penetrates the skull.
Could he survive?
Small chance, but yes.
Could it kill him?
Very high chance. Way too high to say "That won't kill you."
great reaction. love all the comments. love the hair :) you are my favorite on this channel so I hope to see many more movies.
thank you ! coby is our mainstay here - spokesperson for our channel
Busey's boss is from Liar,Liar he was Jim Carey's boss at law firm.
Comedy actor
4:47 - It was a shotgun, sweetheart.
I remember seeing all the lethal weapon movies as a kid
Nobody
Watches
“Payback”
‼️
William Devane
Bill Duke
Kris Kristopherson
Lucy Liu (1999!)
It’s a CRAZY good cast.. that’s just partial!
It’s PHENOMENAL!
And
David Sanborn slung a tremendous 80’s 🎷, look into some of his albums, fantastic for the beach.
The ultimate Buddy-Cop movie! 😎
Mr. Joshua doesn't know his boss is dead.
The bad guy played the dad in the movie Grosse Pointe Blank
and Jim Carrey's boss in Liar Liar. The tv series she's thinking of is Dharma & Greg.
19:45 Somehow you got the misunderstanding that Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) was dating Murtaugh's daughter.
Earlier Murtaugh mentioned that her daughters teen boyfriend had "pits" (dimples). "When he smiles I can see through his head."
He's seen the kid.
I doubt he would mistake 43 year old Gary Busey for a teen boy.
Gary Busey doesn't even have dimples at all. Laugh-lines, sure, but not a hint of a dimple.
(You may know a thing or two about laugh-lines; yours are lovely by the way!)
The radio call said "Sarge, we've got a body for you. Male, caucasian, age 17. Not two blocks from your home. "
Murtaugh guessed he was blonde with dimples and was right - that dead 17 year old boy was Mark, Rianne's boyfriend with the pits in his face.
Mel Gibson did a movie called "Payback" in 1999 that hasn't been reacted to much. Not sure why. It's pretty great! I think you'd like the noir cinematography and dark humor.
I appreciate your enjoyment and reaction. You mentioned that it was a bit cheese and 'formula'... These movies were what CREATED the 'formula'. You're looking at EIGHTIES ACTION ❤❤! The pioneers of GREAT movies. Everything after is copying OUR formula. Yes, there were some from the seventies, like the Dirty Harry franchise (which I HIGHLY encourage), but generally the action/comedy was MASTERED in the 80s. Now 'the industry' is just REMAKING OUR movies. That's insulting.
Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself. Leathel Weapon IS the formula that was copied over and over, even up to this day. When she said "watch Busey try to get a gun so they shoot him"...I'm shouting: that prediction came from THIS movie.
Good film and so is 2,3&4 Btw my fav. Gary B. Film is Rough Riders, historical and he plays Senator/General Wheeler who went to Cuba with other officers including a just resigned under Secretary of the Navy to join the army as a lieutenant colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
The jumper could just move a few yards and jump outside the balloony thing.
That's actually a great observation I've never thought about! I always assumed the explosive that blew up Dixie's house was on a timer. But given how the bad guys operate, Joshua most likely was watching the house to make sure it went up.. Maybe they just weren't ready for the heat murdered cops would create at that time. Even if they escalate to that level fairly quickly after.
Love Love Love Coby!!!
As an LA native (Angelino, if you will lol), something else that I always found funny is that the end of the Hollywood chase is obviously on Silverlake Blvd and it’s made to look like a freeway lol
Chemestry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover was awesome.
It goes beyond the screen too.
One day, a "journalist" tried to trick Danny Glover into saying something bad about Mel Gibson.
Oh it did not go well... Danny Glover looked at him with an angry face and made it very clear how loyal his friendship is!
What in the world makes you think a bullet in the mouth “won’t kill you.”
In regards to the jumper, jumping on the baloon thing. What if the jumper decided to move and jump on the other side of the building where there is no balloon thing? Nice try though. Great reaction.
So Air America is a true story. And there is a movie based on it called Air America and none other than Mel Gibson stars as the pilot.
Great job as always Coby. None of the conte goes over your head.
Gibson is still one of my faves to this day. The work he has done with child trafficking is quite admirable.
Another teally good tecent movie that he has done was with Vince Vaughn called “dragged across concrete “. Great flick
If you haven't seen Ed Wood with Johnny Depp, Martin Landau is brilliant.
The helicopter is flying low to create dust and mask the cars coming.
"That won't kill you". Ya wanna bet! It would literally hit the Medulla Oblongota, or sever the spine killing you. Fun Fact: Air America, the CIA operation that funded the Vietnam War which they were talking about was real, and Mel Gibson starred in a movie of the same title along with Robert Downey Jr.
It's amazing that a commercial 80s action movie follows the Air America plotline, an actual CIA operation which enabled drug Tsars in Cambodia in exchange for resources in the Vietnam War and led to a heroin epidemic in America. That happened.
The helicopter shots in this were done by the same guy that did Highlander's epic shots.
The General plays Minnie Driver's dad in Grosse Pointe Blanke.
Mitchell Ryan also in "Grosse Pointe Blank". If you haven't seen it, put it on your list!
FUN FACT: Mitchell Ryan also played Commander William Riker's Dad, Kyle Riker, in Star Trek The Next Generation
Other buddy cop movies to watch after the three sequels are Red Heat, Tango and Cash, the Bad Boys trilogy and the Rush Hour trilogy
2:34 ”50 is not old.”
Spoiler: Murtaugh is too old for this shit.
"...A little bit formula..." And Shakespeare wrote entirely in cliches. Seriously, this movie IS the formula. (Can't argue with a little cheesy or a little bit predictable, though.)
So the guy only got shot once, but he got shot by a shotgun, which shoots out a bunch of pellets
Mitchell Ryan (General) was also the dad in Grosse Point Blank
Iirc, the general was also Jim Carrey's top boss at the law firm in Liar Liar.
18:05 the program he was talking about “Air America” is an actual movie with Mel Gibson that has that basic storyline. 19:53 he’s taking it seriously cause the person they were describing was deceased so he thought his daughter was with the boy. 24:34 the joke was “let’s do what one Shepard said to the other Shepard” Answer: Let’s get the flock (the sheep instead of saying the F word) out of here.
That's why they want Murtaugh alive so they can find out what he knows and who he told.
Hello...I recommend all movies...I think you gonna love it
'What's the age gap between them, are they OK to hook up?'... well, seeing as Rianne was a teenager in the mid-80's and Riggs served in Vietnam... I'm thinking it would be somewhat icky. 😊
*Maverick*
*Thomas Crown Affair*
Two movies I think you would appreciate as I could see your precise critiques and frustrations I feel those movies might satisfy you
2 is best but u have to watch all 4, to close out everyone's story!! The movie that changed comedy movies music soundtracks buddy cop stuff, etc., was 48 hours. Then Beverly hills cop, both Eddie Murphy, then this! The massive long running Internet debate, like Diehard, is this a Christmas movie?e pseci and glover do a comedy after 2 called, gone fishin! And the Greatest Cameo of all time is in Mel's movie, Maverick! Danny makes the Cameo!
The reason Busey looks more put together, as you said, is because this was pre-head injury, brain damage Busey.
Tell'em about the butter sausage
Hi, liked the reaction.
The line, not verbatim, but "there are no more heroes...." Could that be a call back to 'Mad Max' and Tina Turner "We don't need another hero?"
If anyone actually knows, be cool to know.👊
Hope you watch the rest. They have less drama and more comedy/action, which is not always a good thing... Until you meet Leo Ghets!!! A criminal mastermind of no small proportions😮
meh, she picked it apart
imo series get better as they go
Why do you think Mr. Joshua knows his boss is dead? How could he possibly know that? They both split up at the same time when Riggs burst into the basement. The Boss went out the back alley, Joshua went out the front dorr of the nightclubs, both of them blasting their way out and before the invention of the modern cell phone. The hallmark of a good second-in-command is to be able to make decisions without guidance in the direction of the mission.
If you love Lethal Weapon, you are going to enjoy 2 even more...I highly recommended to watch LW2.
it’s been up since yesterday but UA-cam isn’t “suggesting” it
20:50 he didn’t tell other cops cuz they’d kill his daughter
Coby slowly becomes one of my favourite reactors. Keep up the great work :)
That's Hollywood Blvd..
This movie and Die Hard are both Christmas movies! lol :)
General Peter McAllister was played by Mitchell Ryan.
139 acting credits.
You felt like he'd been in a TV show.
He did 119 episodes of Dharma & Greg.
36 episodes of Santa Barbara.
107 episodes of Dark Shadows in the 1960s if your watching habits go back that far.
The rest is pretty small stuff, though he was also in many movies.
This and Miami Vice was the standard for buddy cop movies and shows. Tho not a comedy, I HIGHLY recommend the Miami Vice TV movie! I highly recommend the whole series.
6:42 THEY SAID THE THING!!! 😀😀
Predictable....OR...you're just brilliant, Colby. = ) Excellent timing also. One thing though...NOW it is a "formula" in movies. Back then? That's where it originated and others since then have copied.
Check out The Nice Guys, another Shane Black cop bubby film. Definitely an underrated classic.
Great reaction I love that movie even more now by the way, the bad guy I don’t know if you watch Star Trek generation, but if you do, he’s commander to Rikers father I didn’t north and south mini series Civil War. North and south He played Jonathan Frank’s father again his father. He’s been lots of other things too, thanks for the fun until next time
I love these films, it's a shame that LEO was only introduced in the second one.
I don’t think he’d have worked in this one. He would have been a distraction from Riggs and Murtaugh establishing their dynamic.
I'm the opposite. I've always wondered what would have happened if they didn't go the comedy route and kept the tone exactly like the first film.
@@bossfan49 Then I think the sequel wouldn't be as good.
Definitely the best buddy cop series. The second one is the best in my opinion. Only 48 hrs. and Rush Hour come close to being as good of a buddy cop film/relationship, although in 48 hrs, one of them was not law enforcement.
I liked Running Scared with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines too. It's not as good as Lethal Weapon of course, but not bad.
@@bossfan49 Yeah, Running Scared was alright. Only saw it once and it wasn't that memorable but I think Jimmy Smits was the main villain without looking it up.
@@Justin0807 You are correct. I'm a little bias because it was filmed in my hometown, along with other cop movies Steven Seagal's first movie "Above The Law" and Chuck Norris' "Code of Silence"
@@bossfan49 Oh that's cool. Chicago is a good city for movies to be filmed in. Yeah, both of those movies were directed by Andrew Davis, who was a pretty good action director, went on to direct Under Siege and The Fugitive. Also, both of those movies had the same main villain in Henry Silva. He was quite good at playing nasty bad guys.
@@Justin0807 I don't think I've seen Silva in any other movies, but I remember him popping up in old tv shows, Hitchcock, Untouchables, Twilight Zone, etc.. I have Davis' first movie on DVD (also filmed in Chicago) called "Stony Island" (a main street that runs through what is now a ghetto). He cast his brother and his dad in roles, also young Dennis Franz, Rae Dawn Chong and Susanna Hoffs (of the Bangles).
A bit of information for the scene where Riggs is trying to kill himself Mel Gibson was sort of uncomfortable doing the scene so Richard Donner (the director) waited until everyone left and then he took Mel and a camera man to a closed set to shoot the scene and to give an authentic feeling of fear and anxiety Mel put a bullet in the chamber don’t worry it was a blank bullet and after they did that scene Mel, Richard Donner and the camera man broke down crying and hugged each other
Dharma and Greg - he was the father in that sitcom but I don't remember when it aired
Thanks
thank yoooooouuu !!
A drama student re-enacted the gun-in-the-mouth scene. He shot himself, and died. An American student, sometime in the1990s. I don’t recall if it was an audition or a scene for grade.
whoa that's terrifying
@@criminalcontent Tragic seems too pale a word to describe it. It so stunned and mortified, that theatrical training institutions (universities, colleges, theatre troops, etc) banned all firearm props from being in their programs.
Busey was halfway across town when his boss was killed.
Yeah, he didn’t know yet.
