    5:00 Krugerrands are gold coins that were minted by the Republic of South Africa in 1967 to help promote South African gold to the international markets and to make it possible for individuals to own gold. Krugerrands are among the most frequently traded gold coins in the world market.
    The coins have legal tender status in South Africa, although Krugerrands were never assigned a rand (ZAR) value. Krugerrands were designed to derive their value exclusively from the price of gold at the time they are traded. If the price of gold changes, so does the price of Krugerrands.

    Great review as usual- Just an FYI- Mel Gibson was born in 1956- he was 33 in this film. Traci Wolfe (Roger's daughter Riannon) was born in 1960, she was 29 in, so, technically they could easily date from day one, since he would've been 31 and she 27 though obviously she's meant to be way younger, lol

    The liquid nitrogen was done as an experiment by the Mythbusters where they confirmed it does work! It was just a theory at the time of filming LW2, but turned out it works waaaaay better than we see in the movie. They could have easily walked out of there, as it stalls the detonation by about 15 minutes.

    You've asked about the relative ages of Riggs and Murtaugh's daughter. The characters' ages were at least 1 decade apart, and maybe as much as 2 -- even though their actors, Gibson and Wolfe, are separated by only 5 years.
    Actors' ages during principal photography for LW1 (Aug-Nov '86):
    Danny Glover = 40, Mel Gibson = 30, Traci Wolfe = 25.
    Characters' ages in LW1:
    Roger Murtaugh = 50, Martin Riggs = mid-30s, Rianne Murtaugh = 17-21
    (Roger's age is in the film. An obsolete script version had Riggs at 36, and facts from the film about his marriage and time in the military suggest he's no younger than 34. Rianne's age range in casting notices was 17-19. One of Rianne's lines suggests she's of legal drinking age -- which has been 21 in California since 1933 -- but she may simply be commenting that it's legal for _some_ people to drink, even if not for her. She's contrasting it with marijuana, which was illegal for everyone at the time.)

The bad guys are so much better! In the late 80s to have South African villains was perfect. That reveal about what happened to Riggs wife. Big shocker! When I saw this in the theatre in the summer of 89 it was 1 of 3 times in my life where I was blown away by how beautiful the actress was. Pasty Kensit is the same age as me. When she died in the movie I yelled out loud "NOOOOOO!!" Lol. She was also the lead singer of an 80s pop-band "Eighth Wonder". 10 classic movies came out in the summer 89.

    An interesting thing to think about how times have changed is that a lot of these classic 80s/early 90s action films such as the LETHAL WEAPON films, TERMINATOR films, BEVERLY HILLS COP films, DIE HARD films, RAMBO films, and PREDATOR were all RATED R. Often released in the summer too! In the last 20-plus years that has almost never been done. If these 80s/early 90s action films were released today they would be PG-13.

    Hi Coby!😊 Mel Gibson was 33 years old in this film, and the actress that plays Rianne was 29 years old. Of course, their character ages could be different. Patsy Kensit (Rika) was married to Liam Gallagher for 3 years.🤯 She was married 4 times to men in the musical business. She was the lead singer in a pop band in the 80s. Before a criminal kills someone they normally surveil the victim to learn their daily routine. Great reactions and movie knowledge, Coby!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

    Great reaction to an awesome movie!
    Krugerrands were gold bullion coins minted in South Africa and, during the embargoes on South Africa during Apartheid they were illegal to import to the U.S. Thus a trunk full of Krugerrands was a huge fortune in illegal gold and, for those of us alive in this era, gave us a big hint who the villains would be in this movie. Since most of us didn't speak/recognize Afrikkans when it came over the radios as the villains called for the helicopter. Afrikkans is the official language of South Africa and is roughly based on the Dutch language of the early settlers, which is why Riggs thought it might be German.
    Putting the dislocated shoulder back in socket in the Riggs fashion is possible, but NOT recommended. I still have bone fragments in and around my shoulder joint from when I did it back in the day. Took four excruciating attempts before it basically got back in socket. But it wasn't a proper reseating so a month or two later it got jarred out again from a hard hit. That time I let a doctor put it back properly.
    It's not the age difference that stops Riggs, its that she's Murtaugh's daughter. And, as we see more in this movie, Murtaugh's family is now Riggs' family, so it's even less likely to happen now.
    Pesci as Leo is SO FRICKING ANNOYING and yet he's equally endearing too. So amazing that he can walk that very thin line so well. 😀
    Admittedly, most of the low level villains wouldn't have a clue who Leo was, since information about money launderers and other outside people would be on a strict need to know basis. Leadership needs to know, the assassin sent to shut him up needs to know, and that's it. No one wants to have their entire operation revealed by some low level flunky who gets picked up and spills all he knows for a better deal.
    Diplomatic immunity as protection for a state funded crime ring is a neat hook, and one based in reality too. For countries suffering under embargoes who needed access to markets to support their tax base and keep their, in this case, racist leaders in power, using diplomatic embassies and the freedom that diplomatic immunity gives gave them a limited access to markets to exploit. Selling Krugerrands was a significant source of revenue and shipping supplies of them to embassies under the cover of diplomatic packets gave them a bypass for the embargoes. The customers were still going to be there as gold is a guaranteed value item, and is considered a necessary investment for large scale investors. And the Krugerrands being coins instead of the standard bullion bars made them much easier to transport and quietly sell for cash to support the nation state. The only recourse that the police had was to try to convince the State Department that the embassy was breaking serious state or international laws and get the diplomats expelled from the country. Whereupon new ambassadors and diplomats who are cut out of the same cloth as their predecessors are sent to replace them and the game goes on.
    Also, Joss Ackland, who plays the criminal mastermind here, was a great man for accents. He's British through and through but I've seen him doing a variety of accents and speech patterns in a variety of performances. SA here, Russian in Hunt For Red October, and more. He just passed away four months ago at the age of 95.
    When Leo gets captured in the car, they don't just kill him because they want to know what he has told the police, and since he's been in custody with a couple of the cops who have really been a pain in their butts, he's probably learned a lot of what they know. They'll torture him first for information, THEN they'll put a bullet in his head.
    The scene on the dock shows part of what makes these movies stand above other buddy cop movies. Victoria's death was a cornerstone for Riggs character in the first movie, and that cornerstone was still present in this movie, just like the memory of Victoria remains always in Martin's mind. From the gold pen found in the wash and the story of the night his wife died that he struggled to talk about, to where Vorstedt tells him the REAL story of his wife's death, that cornerstone remains in place and it still key to both the character of Martin and the story we're hearing. And then finding poor Rika after that... Just the worst.
    Patsy Kensit did a great job as Rika. I agree that the accent wasn't as good as Ackland or O'Connor (Derrick O'Connor played Vorstedt, Rudd's right hand man) but she still did well.
    Also, Vorstedt had possibly my favorite line in this movie. Rudd: What are you doing? Vorstedt: Just checking to see if I was standing on plastic.
    I agree with you that two was better than one, if for no other reason that the martial arts fight wasn't lame. The story was much better and tighter, but it also didn't require introductions to the main characters, which can often be a pacing issue for the story. It also had Jenette Goldstein in it, who is in three of my favorite movie series and who unfortunately dies in all three. In this instance she died going for a swim. This movie also introduced third wheel Leo Getz, who was a fun addition to the cast. Pesci is so brilliant at roles like this, annoying as eff but you can't help but like the guy. 😀
    I like three just as much as two. Hope you do too!

Mel at that time would be about 33 and she would be about 29.

    My favorite of all the Lethal Weapon movies. It was funnier, had some great action scenes and had an emotional punch as well. Joe Pesci was priceless in this movie. I loved every minute he was on screen. My favorite scene would have to be the one where Riggs tells Trish about the night his wife died. It was a touching moment between them. Dean Norris was also in Terminator 2 as the S.W.A.T. team leader at Cyberdyne and he was also in the original Total Recall as Tony, one of the mutants Quaid meets when he gets to Mars. Going to close by saying I always watch all the closing credits to listen to Cheer Down by George Harrison. This movie was the first time I heard that song and I fell in love with it. Makes me want to listen to it right now.

    This is my favorite chapter in the Lethal Weapon franchise. When Martin tells Trish the story about the gold pen and Roger is clueless is great. They give each other a look that is priceless. When the red-headed South African henchman tells Riggs about how he killed his wife I knew he was going to have a brutal death.

    Fun fact about this one was that it was meant to be the last one. Shane Black wrote Lethal Weapon with a 2 part story in mind which is why the loose plot points are wound up such Riggs avenges his wife… he was meant to die in the end but WB wanted more and so he survives.

    10:05 -- RE: I didn't know Pesci was in Lethal Weapon movies!; A: Yep, he's basically the most subtle change to the cast dynamic following the first film, a "5th Business" character who is also comic relief. Instead of being cringe, he's hilarious, so hilarious they kept his character for the remainder of the franchise.

    If someone has diplomatic immunity, the host country can request that the diplomates home country revoke the immunity. The host countries are usually reluctant to do this, but it can happen. The diplomates can however face sanctions at home and the host country *can* force the diplomate's home country to recall them immediately. They can't prosecute but they can kick them out.

    Current ages of Mel Gibson and Traci Wolfe (Rianne)...68 & 64 yet in the first Lethal Weapon movie, Rianne was supposed to be about 17. Traci was 27 in 1987 when the first film was released while Mel was 31. Riggs was a Vietnam Veteran so would have to be at least 30 to have been 18 at the end of the war but let's say he was about 35. Danny Glover was 31 in 1987 when the first film came out but was supposed to be 50 according to the script. Confused yet?...lmbo
