Riggs actually pulls the trigger and Murdoch uses his thumb to stop the hammer from hitting the bullet in the chamber. Amazing scene in one of the best action movies ever.
I Honestly did not notice that! I thought it was Riggs handing the gun to Rodge and the Hammer collided with his hand. That's actually pretty damn cool
Mike Langford Yes, i think at this point they did liked each other as much as they were irritated - but just couldn't say mention it to one another, wich kept the suspense flowing between the two..
& a lot of cops are really like that, from seeing other people, kids shot up, elderly killed.i know it's a film, but a lot of cops are on the edge.ticking time bombs.
Back when movies actually felt real and gritty. Everything from the crowd, the store worker, Riggs' eyes, the sweat on Murtaugh's face and the intensity in the acting.
The only thing that stopped Riggs was Murtaugh's thumb jammed in between the hammer and the bullet... it's not a cry for attention, there's genuine intent there. Why can't modern movies do scenes this well?
And there's another thing... that's a tragic story, hell they are talkin' about suicide, the loss of enjoyin' life... But at the end of the movie you're not sad, you aren't depressed, you love life more than before... That's the '80s attitude... but compare that with the last 25 years of movies....
Something has to be said for Gibson's acting here. That look in his eyes when he finally confesses is beyond portraying "sadness." That is pain, emotional pain, pure and simple. Very subtle, but incredible acting that I feel has some of his own real pain behind it. You can't fake that look unless you have been there.
@@JustinMacri007 In the movie or real life? In the movie the south africans kill her prior to this movie and then fast forward a few years and watch Lethal Weapon 2
I've had days that Mel talks about here and can't get past this scene without either getting teary eyed or a sobbing mess. Got kids that are anchoring me in for now. Hoping I'll have some grandkids after that to keep me grounded.
The thing about his statement is there are people out there who really do think of a reason every single day, to not leave this life. I was one of them back in 2005. it was the struggle of my life.
those kind of thoughts are with me most days,but I have a promise to a very dear friend to keep so I don't give up I keep going no matter how hard things get
Director Richard Donner passed away July 5, 2021. This is such a great film; not only does it have plenty of action, but more importantly (as shown in this scene) Donner gives us a chance to care about Riggs and Murtaugh and we're 100% rooting for them by the end.
Donner is one of the best. However, if you want more like this: This movie, Lethal Weapon 2, Last Action Hero, and the Last Boy Scout were all written by a guy named Shane Black. He has a newer movie called Nice Guys that I think is a perfect detective movie. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. Hilarious, heartfelt, violent, suspenseful, it's got it all. He also made Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, one of my all-time favorite detective movies, but it's weird and not everyone's cup of tea. Still, it's got a really dark, messed up mystery with his trademark humor. His later movies are much more comedic then Lethal Weapon, but he maintains high stakes and amazing dialogue. Not a bad way to spend an evening.
It was not that Roger was not sure if Martin was feigning or not and was testing him; Roger was sure Riggs was acting crazy to get a pension, if he had any doubts he would had never provoked that situation among other things because he would be doing the same thing Riggs just did and that made Roger confront him: be blunt and confrontational with a disturbed person which is a danger to himself or others. Part of the horror in his face must be due the realization that he was responsible of things escalating to that point.
@@g.sergiusfidenas6650 When I read this, my interpretation of it is that if Roger didn't confront Martin, then Roger would eventually find himself talking down a jumper and even doing a big jump landing on the big air bag. Despite this interpretation, I don't think that's what you're trying to say, it's just how I read it. Could you please elaborate?
The last line. When Mel's eyelids drop and he says "I'm gonna get something to eat." The first time I saw that I was blown away & it still gets me. The way he just comes out of that scene is so amazing
I read a copy of the screenplay once. This scene is not in it except two lines. The scene was completely improvised! Great scene! Great combo Mel and Danny!
This was certainly not improvised. Shane definitely write this into the script. Plus you don’t get shots and reaction shots and coverage like that with two actors who are riffing improv.
When I was younger and didn’t know about guns, I didn’t realize that Roger had caught the hammer. I thought he just yelled out of shock or something. Shows you have serious Riggs was. He really pulled the trigger all the way.
This scene combined with the contemplated suicide in his home really connects you with Riggs on another level. Not many characters in film have made quite an impression as Riggs did
Agree, that's the horror - at first the moment does look hillarious, but then you just WHAM turn up at the edge of inescapable abiss poor soul is struggling. Riggs is a bit harder to pull away from that edge... don't envy Murtaugh.
Neil Tipton absolutely the best movie era. I don't even wanna mention nowadays. What a joke days we have for movie goers.. but punks like it anyways )))
I wouldn't say that. Movies these days still have amazing character development and good plots. Though I will agree that we will probably never go back to making movies about real people doing real things. With believable realistic characters.
The special bond between this unrivalled cop team, especially thanks to Mel and Danny, is forever my most favourite memory from the Lethal Weapon legacy. Joe Pesci as Leo is always worth my fandom too. 👏🏻
I really love the character development of Riggs how he went from broken to heal it wasn't easy yes but it was so joyful seeing him go from this to how you see him in lethal weapon 4 thanks to others around him that saved his life and allowed him to turn his love into a lethal weapon for others he cares about.
This was a golden era when films weren't afraid of addressing deep emotions. This scene is as heartbreaking as it is funny. Such a special dynamic - one which paints Americans rather well. They've built up a hellish environment & suffer a great deal, but they somehow keep a sense of humour.
I always loved the dark, gallows humor of Americans. Finding humor in the worst moments thats combined with self assurety & being resigned to whatever fate will be This type of character trait exists through out American cinema dating all the way back to the beginning of motion pictures. Always is there a wisecracking character to defuse the tension admist dramatic situations. Even in kid's films like Disney's Pinocchio, these characters are present and Bugs Bunny.
The 15 different contortions Mel's face goes through when transitions from suicidal to gnoshy are simply amazing, smoothly done, and entirely believable.
Watching the first one after having seen all the sequels, I was kinda shocked by Murtaugh's intensity. Here he straight up exploded, not in a comedic grumpy old man way, but just real, pure rage. Later when he and his daughter were abducted, his desperate screams were so visceral I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. A lot of serious crime films couldn't reach that level of emotional rawness.
It kind of is a comedy but very dark because even these suicide scenes are kind of comedic if you think about it and Meals acting in this movie was both extremely dark and comedic, just brilliant acting and character. But I agree that this first film is more serious, specially considering the serious subject.
"You're not trying to draw psycho pension. You really are crazy" "I'm hungry, I'm gonna go and get something to eat" That was the perfect response to that comment.
What I love about this scene is how Riggs was amped up and ready to blow his brains out and then he turns it off like a switch when he gets hungry. Great acting.
I feel for mel gibsons character in this scene, i really do, especially after i lost both my parents, and for a while my (now) 5yr old nephew kept me going
Im so glad i was around to watch that movie. I mean, kids this days that never saw this movie or die bard or back to the future. I lived it all and im thankful to that.
One of the BEST scenes ever acted by two giants. If an actor is truly fortunate, they'll find that ONE role that FOREVER defines them. This movie cemented that for BOTH of them. GIBSON will always be Riggs. GLOVER will always be Murtaugh!
But he's laughing his way up to the bank so it's like a middle finger to the Globes. He's worth $45 million. OK that's not a lot compared to an Al Pacino or Robert De Niro or Nicole Kidman, or Samuel L Jackson, but he hasn't had it bad though. And we all know the Globes and Emmy's favored CBS, The WB, and ABC as well as HBO. NBC was like half way. But the Globes only incresed with shitstain Littlefield took over tenure as CEO of NBC and made it CBS. UPN and Fox were always the underdog networks of sorts. NBC too depending on the era. CBS, The WB and ABC are the white man's networks. And "Friends"-loving. Nothing Warner Bros.ish about The WB. Tribune sucks. Why the "The" before "WB." I'm reviving UPN and creating WB, a real Warner Bros. network, no "The" before "WB," no Tribune, no frog, no "dubba," "dubba," "dubba."
Yeah up until that point Roger thought he was just calling his bluff, at that moment he realized he was wrong and that Riggs wasn't faking. If Riggs had pulled the trigger though Roger could have found himself in a lot of trouble.
Bluemgwes he is still acting in movies just not as much but he was one of busiest actors in 1980s and 1990s along with movies in 2000s like Shooter where played a bad guy against Mark Wahlberg in 2007. He is 72 years old now in real life, he has been pretty busy when not working as a philanthropist and humanitarian work he does around the world. He released 7 or 8 movies last year alone and has several he completed for release this year just have to do some research and see what he has been up to. IMDb website and look him show what he is making.
Jon Arnall Shooter was more recent then that in 2007 with Mark Wahlberg. He has had movies come out like 2017 had 7 or 8 movies released and was on tv shows like Criminal Minds
Me too. The Color Purple and the Lethal Weapon are my favorite Danny Glover movies. He is a great actor. When I saw The Color Purple as a kid in elementary school Danny Glover was the first actor who was so good that he played a character that made me hate, fear, and pity him in the same movie.
Gibson's hair style was a good choice. It adds to the feeling that he's a bit out of control and it changes his too recognisable face into something a bit less familiar, so it's easier to see Riggs and not just Gibson.

Watching the first one after having seen all the sequels, I was kinda shocked by Murtaugh's intensity. Here he straight up exploded, not in a comedic grumpy old man way, but just real, pure rage.
Later when he and his daughter were abducted, his desperate screams were so visceral I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. A lot of serious crime films couldn't reach that level of emotional rawness.
I never realized this movie series was an action/comedy until I saw the sequels. This one never struck me as a comedy.
It kind of is a comedy but very dark because even these suicide scenes are kind of comedic if you think about it and Meals acting in this movie was both extremely dark and comedic, just brilliant acting and character. But I agree that this first film is more serious, specially considering the serious subject.

MAWFFFFFF 😂😂
"You're not trying to draw psycho pension. You really are crazy"
"I'm hungry, I'm gonna go and get something to eat"
That was the perfect response to that comment.
That face at 00:41 tells it all 😂
GET IN HERE!!! 😂😂 the way he says it 🤣🤣🤣
It's hilarious. I always thought it would have been even funnier if when he slams the door if it hit the guy painting too. Lol
@@ryan4ever956 Remember, "the door swings both ways..."
@@mkaplan1383 lol very true
@@ryan4ever956 That line also came from another character Danny Glover played almost on the same year.
"Git in heyuh!"
1:30 favorite Danny Glover face. Wide eyes, it's a very intense scene for the both of them.
Now... Imagine if he pulls the trigger.
@@danskyl7279 he did though.... Murtaugh's thumb kept the hammer from igniting the primer.
Deer in the headlights time!
They don't make movies like this anymore. What a shame. 80s for the win.
I'm hungry. I'm gonna get something to eat. Nice words after trying to kill himself.
I feel like this could've been a pretty good Snickers commercial
Martin Rodriguez
Well Glover started it
Suicide makes me hungry (Will ferrell) hahha
Hey man Psycho mofos gotta eat too you know? 🤯🤤👌😛
You notice his face goes from wild eyed and crazy to calm and nonchalant just like that?
What I love about this scene is how Riggs was amped up and ready to blow his brains out and then he turns it off like a switch when he gets hungry. Great acting.
Soemtiems yeah you get hungry after an episode liek that though
Disassociation
@@pnut3844able good call. It does the narrative.
Great scene. Even better acting. Felt real
“Puh it in ya mouf”
Lol
He went Black on'em!!! 😂😂😂😂
DONT NIBBLE ON THE BARREL
PULL THE TRIGGER
Bullet might go through ya ya ear and not kill you
Nobody else could have played these roles like danny glover and mel gibson. Both guys are phenomenal actors.
one of the best arguments in movie history lol
Sometimes... arguing with your best friend or even someone dearly is a lot more harder than someone who u dont know..
Hell Yeah
"GET IN HERE!!!" wifffff
What would have made it even more funny is if the door hit the guy he pulled out before yelling GET IN HERE. Lol
Try playing that part at 0.25X speed.
This scene is so intense.
Back in the 80s when you go to the movies to watch this in a real stand alone theatre building ... damn missed them ole days...
I feel for mel gibsons character in this scene, i really do, especially after i lost both my parents, and for a while my (now) 5yr old nephew kept me going
The Lord protects orphans. May He bless you in your life.
Stay strong.
just seen this comment, im an atheist so explain that!
Sometimes, the only way out is thru. Sad but true. I'm glad you and your nephew have each other.
Im so glad i was around to watch that movie. I mean, kids this days that never saw this movie or die bard or back to the future. I lived it all and im thankful to that.
One of the BEST scenes ever acted by two giants.
If an actor is truly fortunate, they'll find that ONE role that FOREVER defines them.
This movie cemented that for BOTH of them.
GIBSON will always be Riggs. GLOVER will always be Murtaugh!
1:28 the intensity in Gibson's eyes!
0:22 i always laugh when he close that door 😂
Get in here....argh....door swings 🤣
"Every single day I wake up and I think of a reason not to do it. Every single day."
I understand that completely.
1:52 Snickers, you're not you when you're hungry.
0:41 Glovers expression after what Gibson said kills me everytime 😂
🤣💀
Love how Danny gloved tighten his tie 😂
Riggs' eyes at 1:36 wonderful acting by Gibson
Danny Glover is such an underrated actor. Can't believe he never has been nominated for a Globe or Oscar
But he's laughing his way up to the bank so it's like a middle finger to the Globes. He's worth $45 million. OK that's not a lot compared to an Al Pacino or Robert De Niro or Nicole Kidman, or Samuel L Jackson, but he hasn't had it bad though. And we all know the Globes and Emmy's favored CBS, The WB, and ABC as well as HBO. NBC was like half way. But the Globes only incresed with shitstain Littlefield took over tenure as CEO of NBC and made it CBS.
UPN and Fox were always the underdog networks of sorts. NBC too depending on the era.
CBS, The WB and ABC are the white man's networks. And "Friends"-loving. Nothing Warner Bros.ish about The WB. Tribune sucks. Why the "The" before "WB." I'm reviving UPN and creating WB, a real Warner Bros. network, no "The" before "WB," no Tribune, no frog, no "dubba," "dubba," "dubba."
You couldn’t come up with a better pairing than these two.
Rest In Peace Richard Donner!
(*Rest.!?*).!? (*!n:- Paradise.!?*).!? ✨
1:24 is the moment Murtaugh has a feeling that maybe Riggs isn't lying. The look in his eyes.
Yeah up until that point Roger thought he was just calling his bluff, at that moment he realized he was wrong and that Riggs wasn't faking. If Riggs had pulled the trigger though Roger could have found himself in a lot of trouble.
1:35- riggs eyes say a solid goodbye..
Space Ace Riggs did pull the trigger. Roger jammed his thumb on the hammer to keep it from falling, hence why Roger said, “ouch!”
Riggs is one tought cookie.
+Make K. Well, he had lost his wife and fought in the Special Forces in Vietnam, so, don't know what you can say to him.
Connor Brennan And that's what made him so dangerous, a "lethal weapon"; he had pretty much nothing to lose in the first movie.
I got this movie for Christmas when I was 15 years old. I remember thinking to myself "Geez!! Rodger Murtaugh's completely unhinged"
I miss seeing Danny Glover in movies.
Technically he still is. I also liked in Angels in the outfield. Which is somewhat recent I guess.
Jon Arnall if you count 20-something year old films as "recent" lol
Bluemgwes he is still acting in movies just not as much but he was one of busiest actors in 1980s and 1990s along with movies in 2000s like Shooter where played a bad guy against Mark Wahlberg in 2007. He is 72 years old now in real life, he has been pretty busy when not working as a philanthropist and humanitarian work he does around the world. He released 7 or 8 movies last year alone and has several he completed for release this year just have to do some research and see what he has been up to. IMDb website and look him show what he is making.
Jon Arnall Shooter was more recent then that in 2007 with Mark Wahlberg. He has had movies come out like 2017 had 7 or 8 movies released and was on tv shows like Criminal Minds
Me too. The Color Purple and the Lethal Weapon are my favorite Danny Glover movies. He is a great actor. When I saw The Color Purple as a kid in elementary school Danny Glover was the first actor who was so good that he played a character that made me hate, fear, and pity him in the same movie.
That "what you wanna hear man!" holy crap goosebumps
cinematic gold hands down
RIP and thank you for the Lethal Weapon films.
Same here.

I named my cats Riggs and Roger.
Riggs is a crazy noisy siamese wont stfu, and Roger a chilled brown burmese.
David Peter love it man
hahahaha good point!
Love it!❤😊
Their chemistry was off the charts
0:00 When you pull a prank gone wrong on your parents!!!!!
"I even got a special one with a hollow point, look!"
*holds up an FMJ round*
Damnit, hollywood... cmon...
That door slam 😂Damn
I like the guy in the door just casually painting away while all this is going on...lol
One of the greatest film series ever. This and Rocky. Enjoyed every single movie in both series.
Stallone would be fine as Riggs too
"Don't nibble on the barrel! PULL THE TRIGGER!"
😬🔫
Gibson's hair style was a good choice. It adds to the feeling that he's a bit out of control and it changes his too recognisable face into something a bit less familiar, so it's easier to see Riggs and not just Gibson.
But this is his actual hair and it did cut until in 1993
