Do you remember the pure joy of a trip to the video rental store as a kid? Yeah. Sure, it's hard to beat the ease and the convenience of the modern streaming era, but the experience of a Friday night trip to Blockbuster to make the big and sometimes tough decision of what movie was coming home with you was a truly magical experience. We're all part of the last generation that knows the joy of the search. Snap of the plastic clam shell smell of a Blockbuster. And we're here to revisit the movies that shaped us and defined our childhoods. My name is Mike Sholty joining me as always two dudes who are hiding behind their diplomatic credentials. Sean, prior to a JVN, how the heck are you? It's just been revoked. I just, do you want to hit the button? It is him. Like it might be of all time. I'll be honest. Yeah. Just the, we'll get there. Yeah. Today's episode is powered by our friends at Big Grove Brewery. We've got some delicious easy eddies at our hands, which is truly the perfect way to talk about classic movies with your bros. Drink some big Grove, watch some movie, drink some big Grove in that order. Bam, bam, bam. Check out our friends, Big Grove. And on today guys, today's episode is 1989's lethal weapon two. And we're going to do a scene by scene deep dive analysis on the entire movie. But first, we need to talk about nostalgia, fun facts and reviews to set the stage. Sean, I'm going to start with you, man. What's your first memories of lethal weapon two and what was your nostalgic rating of it? Honestly, this kind of runs together to me kind of like Wayne's world and Wayne's world two. This series runs together for me in less jetlies in it. But rewatching it this time, it made a difference. When I watched it the first time, it was like, that's more lethal weapon. That's fun. I like car chases. I like Mel Gibson saying funny stuff. I'm going to have to say 6.3. 6.3? No, man. AJ, what about you? Oh man, nostalgia. If you guys remember, I grew up on lethal weapon three. Like that was my lethal weapon. And then I saw, then I saw lethal weapon one. And then I saw this other thing that was like, I think this is lethal weapon. And I didn't know what it was, but it turned out to be lethal weapon two. And I was like, oh, I guess they're just doing lethal weapon stuff. You know what I mean? They're doing die hard stuff. And so lethal weapon two is the one that got lost in the weeds for me the most. And since I couldn't like pin anything to it, like there is no like standout, you know? There is no point of like, oh, there's Gary Busey. There's like, there's Jet Lee. You know what I mean? There was nothing like that to like almost latch onto. So lethal weapon two was for, nostalgically was my least favorite seeing it for the first time. I probably just give it a 6.1. 6.1. I talked about it during die hard with the vengeance. This was all of these action R rated movies were owned on VHS by my cousins down the street. Nice. So like, when did we go there? They'd be like, let's put on this and I go, whatever. And they all like, all R rated action movies were sort of the same to me when I was a kid. Yeah. They're all just like, wow. Every once while there's a booby and there's some killing and I just don't really care. But I do remember I gave die hard with the vengeance of five nostalgically. It's a 5.1. I would say just because I did like Mel Gibson and Danny Glover better than I liked Sam L and Bruce Willis as a kid, nostalgically. So we got to go to executive producer Starling. He says, while this definitely feels like something my dad would have shown us, he only ever rented action movies, faces of death, death wish and home alone. I only faintly recall this movie because of the iconic scene with Danny Glover and a commode, mostly because I'm pretty sure that clip cycled endlessly through the late night circuit in the late 80s. I also barely remember starting lethal weapon for about three times in 99 just to see Chris Rock only to never finish it. So for me, this movie and honestly, the entire franchise is kind of an N.A. So not too great here, guys. We're a 5.97 on the grand scheme of movies we have done. 5.97 ties in 177th spot of all the movies we've done with Oh, Brother, Where Are Thou? There you go. Just going to hang out right there and sort of like, who cares? Yeah. Who cares? But we are going to change that. We're going to give it a modern day review and rating, but we believe we got to talk kind of pertinent information from Sean first. What do you got on this one? Produced by Jill Silver. And Richard Donner story by Shane Black and Warren Murphy screenplay by Jeffrey Bohm. He also did the screenplay for Lost Boys. What a stud. Cinematography by Steven Goldblatt. He did the first lethal weapon Batman Forever and Joe versus Volcano. Fun movie. Yeah, that's nice. Ed by Stuart Baird. Music by Michael Kamen. David Sandborn and Eric Clapton. Yeah. Old smooth hands. What are they called? Slow hand. Slow hands. Yeah. Directed by Richard Donner. Speaking of cocaine. Hey. Go ahead. Cocaine. Cast Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pepsi, Joss Ackland, Derek O'Connor, Patsy Kensit, Darlene Love, Tracy Wolfe, Steve Cahan, Mark Ralston, Jeanette Goldstein, Dean Norris, and Mary Ellen, trainer. Hey. After the success of the first film, Jill Silver was gunning for another money making juggernaut. So employed Shane Black once again to pen the script for the sequel. Black along with a partner wrote what he thought was his best script that he had ever written. And at the time it was called Play Dirty. However, Joel Silver and director Richard Donner love the pure shame blackness of the script. They did not like the script whatsoever. They thought it was way too dark and the script actually killed off rigs. So they rejected it. Probably should have, but that's fine. Black was devastated but also felt like he failed them and even offered his pay back. But his agent rescinded that for sure. The team brought in script doctor and writer of the Lost Boys and the last crusade, Jeffrey Bohem, to revise the script and black left the production. Leo Getz was only supposed to have only a minor role, but was added in a lot more scenes to add more comedy to the film. Danny DeVito and Joey Pants were originally in mine for the, for the role, but Joe Pepsi won out. I like, I like all of them. Yeah, I like all of them. I mean, obviously we'll talk about Pesci in this, but like Joey Pants. Yeah, man. Danny DeVito. It's like a role made for them, to be honest. Yeah. The film was shot mostly in Los Angeles, California and director Richard Donner was known to improvise on set as far as set pieces went. The director would go off the cuff and create different and creative ways to get the shots they needed. They, they did, they did actually shoot the ending of the film in two ways. One with rigs dying in myrtaw's arms and one where rig survives. Test audiences wanted rigs to live. Another ending was filmed where Rika survived and comes to the myrtaws with rigs for Thanksgiving dinner. Would have liked that. You can see those clips on the internet. Yep. You can see those tits on the inter, clips on the internet. On the internet. Lethal weapon was released on July 7th, 1989. Is that like your birthday, AJ? What's that? July 7th, 1989. It's really close. Yeah. Yeah. Basically. Birthday present for you. I'm a cancer. And on a budget of 30 million. Not survivor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The stars a lot, you know. No, we're all rooting for you, man. Sagittarians. The film, the budget was 30 million dollars. And then when it came out, people saw it and it made 227.9 million at the box. Is that good? Taking the third spot that year just behind the Leniana Jones, the last crusade and Batman. Batman. Decent. It beat out Ghostbusters 2 and back to the future 2. The year of sequels, apparently. Yeah. Jesus. It would also go on to spawn two more sequels. Oops. And a television show. Thanks, Sean. We got to go to AJ now. We got to find out what the fans and the critics have to say about this movie before we dissect it. What do you got on this one? We're back. We're bad. You're red. I'm mad. It's the tomato! Grills! 82 percent, certified, fresh. All right, so the critics believe that this is a better movie than Lethal Weapon 1. Lethal Weapon 1 was an 81, this is an 82. I thought Lethal Weapon was an 82. I might have come down since. Wow. I might have just teetered. Am I to teetered? No, not the teeters. You should have touted. Yeah, I know. Kind of fun, right? Yeah, good one, man. Yeah, that's fun. 78 percent, yeah. 78 percent for the popcorn meter. And then 7.3 on IMDB. Interesting to note that is 0.3 lower than Lethal Weapon 1. So the critics like two better, fans like one better is what we're looking at here. Okay, see. Let's see. Washington Post gave it a 90 out of 100. Lethal Weapon 2 is no artless, autopiloted waste of precious movie theater air conditioning. It's fun stuff. Crackling, playfully escape a summer fair that doesn't make you feel taken advantage of later. Roger Ebert, 88 out of 100. He was a big fan, big fan of this movie. Lethal Weapon 2 is that rarity, a sequel with most of the same qualities as the original. I walked into this movie with a certain dread, but this film, but this is a film with the same off-center invention and wild energy as the original. All right, guys, Letterbox Groove Man gave this four and a half stars. He said, I wish when I did anything cool or dramatic, some smooth sack shit would start playing. No shit. Yeah, right? Just... We gotta go. We gotta go, Riggs. Just like you drop the Pringle case off of the counter and then you catch it before it hits the ground. You're like... Did you just recently drop some Pringles? I did. All right. They're safe. Let's see. Four stars. The toilet bomb scene is the peak of the series. The silent look of love Mertag gives Riggs before his ass blows up is beautiful and well-earned. We had diplomatic immunity. It's just been revoked. It's a line from the movie. It's a line from the movie. I think that's where they got it from in this review. Warning spoilers coming through here. Four and a half stars, guys. There's a scene in this where Riggs is sitting in his Winnebago Beach Palace, flipping through the channels, and when he stops on the three stooges, he just tosses the remote over his head like it never mattered, and nothing will ever be better than that in that specific moment. Absolutely. Kind of the same thing I do when I turn this movie on. Brilliant. 80's sequel law raises the EQ faders on almost everything, and Leave the Weapon 2 might do that better than most 80's sequels. Tons of fun, great sets, great pieces, the rubber's gag, the toilet bomb gag, fucking peshy, the monolithic cast, the characters, and actors. If they had Davey in this, my head would have exploded. Davey? Davy? I don't know who they're talking about. Sorry. But I see you on the TV Tales from the Crypt. Diplomatic immunity. Yeah, I really don't even have to say anything. He just said it all for me. All right, perfect. So modern day ratings, guys? Yeah, 8.8, yeah. Yeah, 8.8. Yeah, he's four and a half stars, so yeah. Just about. There it is. Last one here, guys. Okay, okay, okay. It's got one of the, it's got one of his cinemas best duos doing bad shit, crazy, on some South African neo-Nazis. It's got Joe Pesci as a goofy little hothead. It's got a sweet soft rock soundtrack. It's got hot sex. It's got an exploding toilet. It's got everything I could want. Banger sequel and the perfect action movie, okay? And just to remind everyone, they fuck you at the drive-thru, okay? They fuck you at the drive-thru. Yep. There it is. That's also another quote from the movie. Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah. That was a good one. Well, before we hit the scene by scene breakdown of this movie with a modern day eye, it's time for a commercial break. Do do do do. When the time has come and the moment is right, remember, use Ramsey's extra condoms. Say we do. We do. We do. Ramsey's extra because caring means all the protection you can get. Protection we can get. That's our new sponsor. Ramsey's condom. It was Ramsey's, a real condom. I don't know. It's a very fun title for it. Yeah. Yeah. Ramsey's, Funsey's, you know. Here we go. Scene one, the movie begins with Riggs and Myrta chasing a car full of suspects through LA. Despite their efforts, the suspects escape via helicopter. After some time at the police station, the two go to Myrta's house to watch his daughter appear in her first commercial on TV. Right into the action. Dude, how does it? I thought for one second that I somehow missed the beginning because they were just like, no, we're driving. I legitimately rewound and like, wait, like I thought I missed like, I thought like maybe like I had watched it before and it started a little later. You know what I mean? No, it gets right into it. And you see, I'm surprised at how much this man has shown up in our five years of doing movies. Dean Norris. Dean Norris, man. Pre-breaking bad, Dean Norris. This is one of his first roles he's ever done. It's just such a delight to see that man on camera and to realize like what we would eventually get from him down the road. The man just, he just is a cop. Yeah, he is. He's just a cop. Terminator two, lethal weapon two. Was he an NYPD blue? Because I feel like that was made for him. Was it die hard or was it a speed? Was he in another one? Like he was in, yeah, he was a cop at the top of the elevator, like doing the thing and like. There's a theory there somewhere, but I think he dies in pretty much every movie. That checks out. Including Breaking Bad. Spoilers to you guys. It's witness protection. What? I love that they take such care of like the like ancillary cops almost, like their like division, I guess, like Jeanette Goldstein and here too. They're all taking bets on them. It's really funny and he's like, I didn't know he had the station wagon. Yeah, yeah. Mertan's driving his wife's station wagon. Whoa, whoa, no bet. It's a bad bet. No bet. No, no. Bad bet. It's like it's bad information. That's really good. Yeah. You're right. There is a lot of just like ancillary characters in this movie that all are so great and get a little bit of time, but not a lot. Like even Mark Ralston plays Hans. The initial guy they're chasing who's Boggs in Shawshank. That's right. Yeah. I mean, that's right. Yeah. Which is coming up. He's been in a lot of things and he just sort of. Departed. Yeah. He was in that. Yeah. He's just sort of here. That's what I was thinking. I was thinking like bloody mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. He's like, why didn't I say anything? There it is. The action here is just so good. I think Richard Donner obviously is like, he's up there with like sort of action, kind of adventure filmmaking too. And in my mind, like taking the time to give us a sense of time and space in action scenes is very important to me, especially when they're like kind of on, they're on the bridge chasing the guy. They have split up at this point and the, I guess, ancillary cops are like the beat cops are down below and then they're on the bridge and then we get like the wide shot of that moving. It's a perfect, like because the highway got curves and then reveals like the cops down below. Just really cool stuff like that. Just to see like, okay, what's our location? I'm going to get this shot and we're going to have to time it perfectly. You know, it's just really good. Well, it's all done extremely well, but then you have, it's like the chaos factor of rigs that distracts you, not distracts you, but like helps it move along. Yeah. And like, not that it needs any help, but him just sitting there in the passenger seat like, woo, man, I love this job. He's just like so stoked to be in a car chase again when he's probably been done this like, I don't know, a couple of times a week for the entirety of his career. He's just stoked to be back into another one. But then you get him driving and he's like, and he just has so many of these like little lines and one liners and stuff. He's like, oh man, you were right, Raj. It wasn't enough for him. It's just like he just destroyed half that car. It's just, it's so fun to watch these two play against each other. They are the ultimate buddy cop, you know, the team to me and they do it so perfect. I mean, yes, there's plenty of other ones out there. There's like, you know, call it whatever you want, Tango and Cash. Turner and Hooch. Turner and Hooch. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. You know, Butch Cassidy and Mozart. You know, lots of them. McCabe and Mrs. Miller. There you go. There's a lot of stuff going on there. You see, you know, Stallone and Woody and Mia. They were all there. Bert and Lonnie. Sorry. What they do tell you in this pretty early on is that like, hey, this is late 80s action. We're going to give it to you. We're going to give you some funny stuff. We're going to give you some action, but also just don't really worry about the plot. Like they kind of let you know that in the beginning because there's so much in this movie that just doesn't make sense, but they do it so well that you don't care. Like Riggs, Riggs chasing him out, running and then just being there and being able to get on the car. Him deciding the way to evade gun automatic weapons is to just do a cartwheel. Yeah. Like, yeah. I mean, like you don't care. Them shooting this, this helicopter shows up and like for some reason they can't shoot the helicopter, you know, all these cops with their guns, the helicopter just goes, we're here. We're a helicopter and don't shoot. Nobody shoot. Okay. Now we're going to go away. And, but that's what I, they do it well enough to where normally my nitpicking would be like, man, fuck this movie, but it's so good. Like even we'll get to the South African gang. They're like the worst evil villain ever because we don't understand any of it. We don't know why we don't really know how, but they're just there and we hate them and it's fun. It's what really surprises me that Shane Black left this movie. And I know they took his like initial script because he did rewrite, rewrite it for them. But Jeffrey Bohm did the, did the other revision and make it a little more happier because this feels like a Shane Black script to a T. Yeah. Like picture of the nice guys, you know, like a sort of convoluted, like Detroit gangland kind of cover up going on in nice guys. And then in this is like South African gangsters doing it because there's there and on top of that, they're racist and, and they deal in gold like one eyed, really rich stuff. Like out of the trunk is like gold Boo-Yan from a pirate ship. It's always like this, like you expect a, you expect a stiff of like Mikey falls out of that with all the gold too. They kill the kid and get it done. Yeah. It's always in a Shane Black thing. It's like a sort of vaguely political ancillary sort of background bad guy. But because it's not the point, the point is Riggs and Murtaugh. That's just trying to stop these guys. That's really well said actually. People will even say like, oh, number two, it's the worst one of the series. It's like, it's not actually. I don't think so. And, and so the reason I think you get caught up in that is because you don't have somebody so direct to hate or a reason to hate them other than the fact that they're just shitty people. Yeah. Right. We just don't know why they're doing what they're doing. Yeah. They're why no one's catching them or what, but it's like you don't care. Yeah. Well, and I think, you know, especially back during this, during that, this time though, like 89 and stuff. I mean, and correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know if I, maybe I should have read this one up, but like this like, oh, like in South Africa, like apartheid and all this stuff that's going on. This is real. This is, it's all real stuff. And like no wonder it's like, let's give Germany a break from being the bad guys. Take all the same actors. Who else could have been? Yeah. We'll just call them South Africa. They're in the hot mess right now. What's South Africa ever done to like, you know, like make people hate them or whatever. We'll make them racist. Oh, okay. Okay. We'll call black people a word that I have to look up on Google and I'm pretty sure I'm a list now. Yeah. I don't think you're supposed to say that word. No, I don't think you'll say either. But I thought they were saying gaffer. I thought the English guy was saying gaffer, which means boss. Or like the gaffer on set. Get out of the way. No, they were saying a different word. Yikes. We're so close, aren't we? Yeah. Gaffer. Gaffer. You got it. Gaffer. And that's like, Much like prawn or other words you can't say. Grape. There you go. Yep. You got it. And so, I'm alive. It's triggering. Discontent. But that word's probably very triggering. The one we're trying to not say? Yes. Oh, yeah, it- Not- I'll just try and book a few T-times on some golf courses down there for my dad and I.

My most recent little undertaking was in our kitchen and after doing some other upgrades, we realized we've got this big blank wall on one side of our kitchen and we were trying to think of what to do.

And when that first guy goes down and it's just plastic in the body, dude, my nightmare. Brother, just know that you should never walk into a mob boss layer when there's painter's cloth on the floor. It's like, just don't do it. Oh, don't, don't pay any mind to that. We're having the, we're having the ceilings painted. So anyways, boom, you're doing it. Like, dude, yeah, I'm not stepping onto that. And they even bring it back as a funny joke later. The guy's like, he's like looking right. Wish.com Tom Hardy. Yeah. It's like just checking to make sure there's no painter's cloth. Make sure there's no, there's no plastic on the floor. It's like, okay. It's a really well done scene too. I think it's the introduction of that or just because the audience kind of knows. You kind of know walking in. It's just a movie. So you're like, whatever. Boggs always dies, man. This guy always dies. He just can't get, he's basically Sean Bean. And so, yeah. But yeah, you walk, he walks in in plastic where you're like, okay, I know what's going to happen. And I have to mention it every time that happens or split diopter shots everywhere here. It's just fucking cinema, dude. It's fucking awesome. Scorched Asian shit. Fucking awesome. You know that. Dick Donner, Dick Donner, dude. Dick Donner, man. Dick Donner. Our audience loves this kind of trivia from me. Did you recognize Mertau's house? It's on the, it's on the Warner Brothers back lot. Yeah. This house. So, or monster squad, right? It might have been, I'm sure it's been used in a ton. But the, the main one that I associated with it's Todd and Margot's house from Christmas vacation. That's right. Same exact house. So there was going to be a big theory in there about how they sold it to the Mertau's, but it all happened in the same timeframe. You'll come up with it, man. I believe in you. I probably won't. I just wanted to leave it at that. Do you know? I halfway thought, and maybe this is where you should take your social media clip, is that, did you know that the house, the Mertau's house is actually the same house? Do you recognize this house? Leave the weapon one. It's like, let them, your son of a bitch. I don't need more people hating me, but it sounds fun. You're son of a bitch out there. Son of a bitch out there. This is a, like I said, the movies more focused on rigs and Mertau. Less of like the plot and the bad guy and who they're trying to stop and stuff. Until it intrudes their lives, which was what happens a little later. But to get these guys together, they're going back to this house that had blown up right in the first one. Yes. So that's why the contractor's there working. He's like, I'm making a man cave, man. Like this is going to be fucking awesome. We get the introduction of the nail gun that comes in. Jack McGee. Jack McGee, yes. Yeah. He's a that guy, you know what I mean? Here's a prop. I do want that nail gun, that nail gun. It looks nice. And I think it's, it's wireless too. Yeah. I mean, that's legit. So I want, I want a thousand dollar bill because we'll talk about that later. But I didn't really think there was such a thing as thousand dollar bills, but I did some research. There should be million dollar bills. We're going to learn some history later on. So that's my prop. I want one of those with blood on it, preferably. I want Riggs's jacket. It's that quick silver jacket. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And like, you can't really tell like the the logo on the back, it looks like it's really washed out or something like they were trying to hide it almost, but it's a quick silver jacket like he needed a jacket. So he went to the first surf shop he could find on the way to you can't wear that. He went to zoomies and picked up a quick silver pack son. Mary Ellen trainers in here. Brother, I, we, you know, we don't have track of the Jarrett layoff actor database anymore because our boy Jarrett took some time off. We asked way too much from him. Oh yeah. The man, the man did so much work for us. We, we, I still say we need to get a candle made of him. Yeah. Just the Jarrett layoff candle. But at the point when, when that he was keeping track of how many times an actor was in a movie, Mary Ellen, I think is at like 10 or 11. She was on the top. She was on Mount Rushmore and she's been in two or three since we stopped keeping track of her. She might be at the top and she's just there and gone. Richard Donner movies. Yeah. I think that's because we've covered so many of his movies. I always get Richard Donner and Rob Reiner mixed up for some reason. Me too, man. I don't know why. Does anybody else do that? That's fun. Anyways, go ahead. I can see why. But no. Okay. The, I have to say the, the economy commercial when they're all in there to see the screening of the conom commercial. What's on TV is Donner's Christmas Tales from the Crypt episode. Yep. That's the one I've talked about for all these years all through the house with Mary Ellen trainer. So she's in this movie twice basically. That counts as twice. Okay. One of the best Christmas specials ever, ever made. I mean, it's horror. So you guys might not like it, but you should really check it out. But it's, I'm glad it's in here just like in the background. Cause I'm, I think he's really proud of it. And I think he fucking should be. Well, and you know, for future reference, if, if like any of my daughters are going to like get into acting and they're going to do their first acting thing in a commercial, I'm going to ask a few questions. I'm going to be like, man, what, what, what's the commercial for? What, what, how was it on set today? Like what, what, how many lines do you want to practice lines with me? Yeah. You know, I'm going to ask a few questions so that I'm not completely blindsided when my daughter ends up in a condom commercial. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm going to do that episode of like friends when Joey is just going to do some modeling work and then it turns out, but he has no idea what it's for. And then he gets to a subway and there's a big thing of him just standing there like this and it's like, they don't know, but he's got VD. You just got to ask a couple of questions. VD. VD. Vanerial. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know which one would you rather have? VD or ED? Well, I don't know. Either way, something may go in right. I'll discuss that in the Patreon. A full hour episode of that. Yeah. Lots of detalk in the, you know, in the Patreon. Good stuff, man. You're going to like it. I don't know, man. I would probably see it and be like, oh, I did not know is for condoms. That's crazy. You could have told me. But like, she's getting there. She's at age. I believe she's probably over 18 because she talks about, I'll go buy you a beer. She says I'll go buy you a beer to her boyfriend and he goes, hey, you're not 21 yet. She's probably 20, 19, 20 living at home. That makes sense. Yeah. Maybe not even living at home. Who knows? Maybe not. Yeah. Maybe maybe just all excited because it's a family thing. We want to, we're excited for her success. That's what supportive families do. And then, you know, it turns out it's a condom commercial. So you're like, wow. So you're like one step away from the wrong industry. Which is really funny. And if I was, if I didn't have a direct personal, very deep relationship with Murrital, I would fucking rise to him about it too. Oh, dude. Yeah. I mean, this is what an amazing through line joke. It's his nightmare because it's his daughter and the implications. Of course. You don't want to think about that. You don't want to think about that. And isn't it the same guy who's there? No, no, no. Is it a different guy? Okay, okay. It's like Bo Jackson kind of. It's ripped. It's like, well, it makes sense here, I guess. You know, he, it's like, yes, that's kind of, that's somehow still not the worst part of it. He's like, he's a cop. That he's going to get rashed for. He's just the endless amount of shit that he's anticipating. All because Riggs, because Riggs had to bring it up and tell everybody. He's like, don't tell anybody about this. He's like, oh, no, no. Maybe somehow she told Riggs that she was going to be in like Riggs knew. She's, they're pretty close. Like, I mean, Riggs is very much a part of this family at this point. Yeah. And then, in one year, out the rubber, it's such a great line, dude. And he's like, he's just kind of the supportive, like, almost like step dad in like, in a weird way, step dad, uncle, five of just like, it's like, nah, you don't have to go. It's like, hey, so he's got a gun. He's like, yeah, but it's an old gun. He's not a very good shot. It's like, it doesn't matter. It just stick around. It's like, that's all the same. I'm going to go. All right, then. Was it the first one that she had a big crush on Riggs? Yeah. Okay. So scene two, we meet bad guy, Aaron. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. thing kind of kills it for me about the rocks. Yeah, I kind of I need a little sand. I see that. You got the beach right there. Salt life. Salt life bro. Salt life for 2069. You bet. Yeah, it's exclamation point. Riz is the first salt life guy. It's not Riz. It's Riz. It's Riz. It's W Riz man. Hey, hey Riz. Sorry. No dude, you're talking about like this place is just like a winnebago. Like it's like he could live anywhere really, but this is true. He's kind of put down some roots, you know. Some wheels. He put down the sides. So he's here. He actually went as far enough to like use the hydraulic lifts to take the wheels off the ground. He's like we're not going. Yeah, yeah. He's like, let's take some pressure off of the shocks. But he is, he's got the dog, Sam, the dog. Great dog. Great dog. All this guy has to do is watch the water and the sunset happen, then get up, walk 20 feet after throwing away that beer to wherever. Because it's LA. It's just later, man. I think it's LA. And he's like, and then he goes right back in and he's while listening to Eric Clapton basically 24 seven, and then he turns on three stuges and has another beer and throws the remote with his dog and throws the remote. Perfect. Like I'm not going to need that again tonight. That's the, I mean, it's the ultimate. Exactly. It's the ultimate man life. I'm sorry. I just like it is. I just want that. Yeah. I think you're, I said it, said in the last episode, there's something to be had about the way this dude is just living life. Yeah. And it's pretty great. I Jerry, right? What's that for Jerry and with the vengeance? Or was that somebody else? Oh, no, for, for Wayne and Garth. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Just living in that friggin pad, man. But the, I just have to, I just got to say though, guys, that episode of three stuges looked like it was about over. And I really hate to think that's like an infomercial afterwards. He's got to go find that remote now. It's like, I think it's problematic, more problematic than Riggs actually. I just said it next to you. You might need it. You know, who are you trying to impress right now? I'm just saying, man. But Riggs is, Riggs is a tough character on this one because it is, he is trying to make the best of his life. But then, you know, he's back over at Murtaugh's and him and the wife have that conversation. This is a great scene. I think it's my favorite scene in the movie. I love this scene. It's incredible, man. The way he explains it, the way he's kind of even keeled about it, you can tell it's a big deal, but he's got it together. It's been four years or something like that. She even says like, oh, I'm sorry to bring it up. It's all right. We never really talked about it. We never really talked about it. Yeah. But there's that, there's that really small touch there that I had never seen before. Like, obviously later on in the movie, he's on the beach with Rika and he's talking about making chili and he says, do you like that with or without Oreos? So subtle. But during this intense speech he's making, he reaches for a bag of Oreos and you see him crumple them and put them inside the chili without drawing any attention to it. I did not notice that. How did I not putting cans of Hormel into the pot and cutting onions up and shit and then is crushing Oreos. At the deepest part of his story, his hand goes over. You hear a little bit of rustling and then he goes and puts it in the, it sounds good. I'm going to try it. Like, is that our next movie? It can't. Yeah. It'll be dinner in a movie. We're going to do it for lethal weapon three. And because that's going to be sometime around the holiday, just letting you guys know. Okay. And yeah, I will make chili because I do, I don't mean to brag guys. I make a bang in pot of chili. Okay. I'll throw the Oreos in. Hell yeah. Because think about it. You have cornbread with chili. It's a little sweet, right? It's like a sweet cake. You know, hey, you're not far off from a pretty bang in mole sauce. Okay. I'm just saying bro. Holy moley. Holy moley. And I think that night is when they get the first, the kind of jump scare man with the duct tape. Like it's, it's a little intense, but I also had some problems with a myrta. Like, is he really that old and fee like feeble to where he just kind of sucks at in physical situations? They duct tape their mouth and arms. They don't duct duct tape their legs whatsoever. And these guys leave and they're in the bed like, can't get up. I can't get out of my bed. Like, they don't. Yeah. If you duct tape my arms and my mouth, I can get out of bed and stand up and go run somewhere. Yeah. They were just like stuck in their bed. I think we've demonstrated on the show before of getting up without your hands. They say that's actually a sign of, of you're not old yet. Like you're, if you can lay on the ground and get up without putting your hands down, you're, you're still an active person and you can do that stuff. I just have to say, if that was rigs, they probably would have all been dead before they, the night was over. You know what I mean? And, and he would have, he would have like Tom cruised his way at like going up the pole. He would have just like Ninja kicked up and he'd be good to go or check this out or just kind of roll my legs over and then like kind of roll over and sit up. Like it just was weird to me that they didn't at least show them duct taping their legs or something. They just, they just left. I know. True. It's, it's one of those things. So yeah, because there was definitely like dudes holding them down, holding their legs down, but they were just having this full on conversation. Again, you're a guy who has the worst accent possible. It's like, Oh, anything distinguishing about them? Yeah, this stupid voice, blue eyes and a stupid voice. Like this weird accent and, but South African accents are really tough to pin. You know, if you've, if you've ever heard like anyone from South Africa talk, it's like Germany and New Zealand had a baby and then had an affair with like, yeah, with Finland. It's a weird accent. One of my least favorites. It's a really strange accent and like, but it's also, once you hear it, you can't unhear it. So it's just like, yeah, that's that guy. He's South African and it just so happens. There's the South African consulate that seems to be doing nefarious shit. I feel like there's something that apparently they've been on the trail of for many years because that's why they killed Riggs's wife on accident. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. That's what I'm saying. Like there's no thought at all to this plot because we don't have a relationship with even Riggs's wife in the first one. She's already dead in that one. Correct. Yeah. And so yeah, I mean, you're right. It doesn't, we all, all we need is the more motivation for Riggs to kind of go off the rails like he does at the end of this movie. Yeah. With the killing of Rika and the re, or the, the realization confirmation realization that they killed his wife. It's just so convenient, but it's just like whatever, whatever. It's so convenient, but it's also, it works, but it works really good. Because like, as long as you don't question it and you're not going, well, why, but why, why is he here and why is, yeah, that just don't, and it's fine. Everything's fine. And so it makes you kind of wonder if like this entire police force is mildly incompetent, like this, this department right here, like their whole team, Dean Norris included, that they're just like, they're worried about poker night then. Yeah. They're, they're super worried about poker night. Murtaugh's entire family just got threatened with deep murder and he's going to play poker. And they're joking. Yeah, exactly. They're like having jokes and having fun about it. I'm like, this is, that's fucked up. You get more, you got more rubber talk happening. And it's just like, let's get back to the jokes. Let's start, let's bust each other's chops and stuff. Hey, we're cops. We're bust chops, man. And, and so you just, it just seems like there's like this kind of weird incompetence because it's like, yeah, this gold Kruger and, and well, where does that come from? Turns out it's South. It's like, everything is pointing you here. And instead, and somebody just says what diplomatic immunity. Instead, we're just going to take everyone completely off this case to be with Joe Pesci. Yes, of course. Which is one of the best movies this movie has ever made. This entire series of movies might have fallen off without Pesci. Without Pesci. If you didn't add in Pesci to, to this, and because him in number three, he's what makes number three, in my opinion. He's such a poster. He's such a big part of it, man. Yeah. He's, yeah. They kind of wrote his name on it. And he's like peeking behind their shores. They wanted to know how to get people back out. And, and he was such a hit in this movie that it essentially like revitalized his career. He, he was not that big of a star come 1988, 89 anymore. His star had fallen. He does lethal weapon to it's such a hit. His character is so big that he then does good fellas, home alone, my cousin Vinnie lethal weapon three, home alone to a Bronx tail casino in six years. What man, we talked about massive runs. That's guys huge. And it's weird to me to see him not like to see him getting tossed around like a little fucking nerd. Like he's just like, it doesn't feel like Pesci to me. The Pesci that we know, which is why I think it's so brilliant that he's like acting this way. And it's such a unique character for him. Well, jeez. And I mean, there's those couple of times him, when they have him next to rigs and myrta especially, he looks so small. Little baby. And then like, he's looking around and is like, well, we're going to take that room. He's like, well, my stuff's in there already. I've already unpacked. He's like, and you just have rigs is just like staring him down with those rigs eyes. And you're just like, okay, okay, okay. You guys got that room. I'll take tomorrow. I'm a small guy here. Right. So I just take small room. It's like, okay, do I get a gun? You don't get a gun. Okay. You're right. Yeah. Okay. And even with the like kind of catchphrase. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Kind of thing. He plays it. He knows like when to deploy it. It seems or like, I guess a script maybe it's not every other word. Exactly. Although I did count them. Okay. Well, before that, it's he's like, he's very like sniper with it. You know what I mean? He knows when to play it when the situation needs it, I guess. And then only like doesn't do all of the okays in one. He'd like, okay. So here's this. Okay. Like he kind of breaks him up too. So like it's, it's very refreshing. It's not like so annoying that it becomes a catchphrase that becomes annoying. Yeah. Like starts and ends every sentence with okay. And then okay. It's no, he you're right. He, he will deploy it and then there'll be those certain times where there's like eight in a fucking row when he's just excited. Cause I do believe Leo gets is the, the less is more Leo gets 100%. He can't just show up and just be the main character. But yeah, I counted it. He says, okay, 132 times. It's like we're like getting into Scorsese's F. I was just one. I was just gonna say like what's that compared to how many times he says fuck. It's probably close. We should do that. Okay. Who says, does Joe better? She say, fuck more than he says. Okay. In these two movies. Yes. So fun, fun reference here guys, since we brought up this amazing run of movies that he had, eventually he gets to home alone. And you know the van that Harry and Marv are driving is okay plumbing. Oh no shit. That's great. And it's a callback. Is this on Burbis? It has to be. Look, look, okay, plumbing and heating. Is there a tagline? It says residential work is our specialty called JK5 whatever. Yeah. But it's incredible. It's definitely, it's okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Whatever you need, Leo gets. What it did. This reminded me of die hard with the vengeance. Him explaining money laundering was the same way I felt about the water gallons. Oh dude. I was just like, Oh yeah, yeah. Fuck. What? I had to rewind it a couple of times. I don't get what you're saying. It went over my head. I'm like, I personally do not need this information. I don't need to launder my mind. I know why they're here. I know why they need to protect him. Fine. There's a, there's a, there's a great, there's a great line in the office. Kevin is saying, because money laundering was happening or something. They, somebody, one of the guys was busted a while back for money laundering. And Kevin's like, I had Oscar explain to me what Martin did three times and it sounds a lot like what I do every day. It's like, so. We'll just pretend like it didn't. Yeah, exactly. And the money laundering thing, but like, it doesn't sound like what he, how he describes it doesn't sound like a smart way of doing it, but I don't, I don't understand it either. Like when he's like, I take a little cut, what percent, two percent, like, do all right. All I did was launder a half a billion dollars. All I did. Yeah. All I did half a billion is 1.3 trillion nowadays. Yes. That is unfathomable. It's gonna get away. Scott free. Yeah. No, he fucking idiots. Yeah. He's gonna get off completely as long as he doesn't die. Basically, which he might because yeah, the house on stillt scene we hear. Yes, we were going to their house. Awesome. Awesome action set piece again. Like the, it looks like maybe where they even filmed the movie drive, the car chase scene there. When they get to the house on stillts and the whole thing happens, but then like the tow truck chase and everything ensues. Just all you, like the perfect LA car chase setting is just like back like, like winding hills, you know, I love it so much. But the rigs climbing on the tow truck, the threat of he like makes the thing go forward. That freaks me out. That's terrifying. Just always raising the stakes in these things, like the pedestrians driving by and the surfboard, like cutting the dude's head off pretty much. That's what kills him as a surfboard. This is, this is all fucking awesome. So good, dude. It's incredible. Like what, what, they give us the fun action scenes, then they give us the fun moments of character development. It's, it's just, it's so well done. But I also have questions about like, so like this house is owned by the country of South Africa. Apparently, yeah. Like I don't, I don't think that that means that this is foreign soil. The way he's claiming is this is foreign soil. It's owned by South Africa. I'm not sure that's how that works. Yeah. He's talking about it like it's a consulate ground or something. And it's not that's the house that you're renting right. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. This is you, you were in South Africa. You're like, oh, we need a cool place. So like, you know, we're a James Bond villain might do business. Well, we can't do that at the consulate. Well, hey, I found this place on Verbo and it's like, it's on stilts. It's like, oh yeah, you don't want to own a house on stilts. Totally rent. We can totally rent. Woo. That kind of maintenance. Insurance is through the roof. Yeah. This whole confrontation, I guess, is this is why I like these sorts of bad guys are what irritate me the most, I think it's just because it's all about like bureaucratic and diplomatic and government and all these, you know, meaningless words and like loopholes and stuff. Yeah, you can't even get me for a parking ticket. That kind of shit. It's like, oh, I can't wait to see this guy get shot in the fucking head, dude. There's a there's also a point where it's like, yes, I can. Yeah, that's you're absolutely right. Because if you break the law of the country that you're in your diplomatic immunity, for lack of a better term, it's got it's it's just been revoked. Thank you. Okay. You're absolutely right. Like, yes, I can't come search you because you are diplomats of a foreign country, but you just committed a murder. Yeah. And we saw it. So I get to now come and investigate. We saw a murder. We have reason. And that's actually a great note of like in the very beginning, when the car is flipped and they don't see the guy. And but they hear something in the trunk and rig says, he must crawl into the trunk and myrtah is just like, I'll back you up. That's probable cause to kick the thing open. It's the same idea. It's like there's any time there's going to be some probable cause now obviously they knew the guy wasn't in the trunk. It was just a ploy to say we can open it. This has been going on forever. But dude, yeah, you've been on this on this chase for how long and you have probable cause it feels like. Yeah, they all where's your permits. If you're just consulate members, like, why do you have all these guns? And why are you counting all this money in here too? I can see it through a window. And if these are rules, yeah, they can literally do whatever they want here. Then those need to be changed. Yeah. We're so worried about people, illegal people coming across the board. It's like, maybe we should be more worried about South African consulate men who can do whatever the fuck they want with $5,500 billion dollars. Dug in bureaucratic bullshit. Like, yeah, undig them. Gold hoarding neo Nazis that are just like, what is this? Frickin bridge under their troll under the bridge. What's going on here? It's just enough of a bad guy. It's just annoying enough and sort of like against our good guys enough for you to care that these guys are the bad guys. What they're doing. Don't really understand. Don't need to. It doesn't matter. All you need is just like him saying diplomatic and you're like, Oh, I mean, are we just going to do it? Like punch? Yeah, yeah. Let's go ahead and do it. If we were on a train to go punch a face. Yeah, I'm on board. It's just the way he says it, man. Like I just Josh Ackland who was Hans in the first mighty ducks, by the way. I wish he would have gone back to living his quiet life with Gordon Bombay and Minneapolis, but he's wait, he's the like, he's the shop. No shit. Okay. Fuck me. Yeah. He's the shop owner. There was going to be a fan theory there of how he. Oh, come on, man. You'll do it. Okay. So Aaron, Aaron, the bad guy from lethal weapons to survives this final hit. He's wearing a bowl proof vest and they know the country is like, well, we can't really, he's still South African diplomatic community stuff, you know, but like, let's just relocate them to the Twin Cities where he can pretend like he's a shop owner to eventually help Gordon Bombay bring district five to win the Pee Wee championships. Yes, of course. He pays attention to the newspaper a lot because he's making sure there's no weird stuff in the newspaper. He's the one that came up with the Oreo line and told the Hawks player. That's why he puts Oreos in the chili. I mean, and then, and then they're just like, just teach him how to make eggs and house and pepper and then he'll be fine. No, that's yonks. Well, they both, it's a family recipe, Michael. See, we can one, talk ourselves in and thing and two, we are just middle-aged men talking about a kids movie, which is so stupid. We are just the worst people. Yes. I think that are on the internet right now. I don't know if you could get any worse than just three guys just talking about kids. We just can't let it be the movie. You know, it's like, you know, it's a movie, right? I don't know if it's not real. Well, we're here to discuss whether or not it is. My blood pressure is obviously. I want to talk about punchable faces other than the fucking nerds on the internet who are talking badly about Mighty Ducks. Okay, Sean, I'd like to say that it's ever, I want to say it's the entire squad because this, like the guy, the long haired guy that eventually gets in the car door, it's gotta be one of the worst-looking faces in this movie. But that whole crew is just so fucking annoying and dumb looking. Yeah. Like that, the whole organization needs punched, the kind of main, like a main henchman guy. He's kind of mine because you're right. He has this, he looks like the combination of like three other movie stars. Tom Hardy. He just couldn't quite get it done. And like, yeah, he's basically a mix between Tom Hardy and whoever played JP in Grandma's Boy. Okay. And so, and then he dances around at the end there. That's kind of tight, whatever that fighting style is. Kapo-era. Is that what it is? No, but it sure looks like it. Whatever it is, I'm just saying, you know. And he's British, right? Like he's an English guy. I don't know what he is. He doesn't talk like a South African. No, he doesn't. I'm just saying, that guy is all over the place, man. Ready to launch your business?

After that is diffused, rig starts pushing back hard, harassing the consulate, and even romancing Rudd's secretary, Rika. You leaving us? Oh, he's getting a beer ski. Well, this is also the inclusion of the, the famous drive-thru scene. Leo, Leo's absolutely right in this back in the day. You want to avoid fast food drive-thrus at all time back in the day. I think so. He's implying that they're doing it on purpose, which they, they don't do it on purpose, but he's right. The minute you drive away, you're not turning around and going back. No. Especially because you waited in a Taco Bell line at 1.30 in the morning on a Saturday for a half hour. You're not going to go back. But he's right. They do fuck you in the drive-thru. They do fuck you. I mean, it's, that's how they get you. Also, he is correct. I did where, I was a sandwich artist for two years back in high school and you couldn't pay me to eat tuna or seafood and crab from Subway. If you guys do that stuff, I don't know what you're doing. If that's an order that you make. I don't, I mean, why would you do that? It's either meatball or, you know, cheesesteak. Yeah. Or the old chicken patties when they were the frozen big chicken patty. I think my brother used to get the tuna from Subway all the time. What's the matter with him? I don't know. It's, you know, David. Yeah. He was the tuna guy. David, I like the tuna. I could just got to say, man, if that ain't tuna. Yeah. There's no fish in there. Well, that's probably why I like that. I'm just saying. Leo's so great in that scene. And he's also somehow so funny to me when he's cleaning rigs, the way he's like, maciming rigs is fucking mobile. I don't know, man. He's such a, Sean, you made a great point about, they use him sporadically. And when he's there, it's just enough and it's perfect. And then they move on. Yeah. So great. I mean, cause let the weapon was a little darker than this obviously, because it was rigs and myrtall. They still, you know, throughout the movie, they became partners, you know, and then then this one, they are partners. Riggs is coming over all the time and we get that relationship. So it's a little lighter, you know, and I think that this movie or the story deserves that like sort of lightness to it. And so to add this sort of comedy stuff is warranted, I think, and works really well with Leo. But we get to, I think, the best scene of this movie. Sean, it's etched in my brain. That's all I think about. When I think of lethal weapon, the entire series, I think of the toilet. Whoever said that, did somebody say that in the thing? It's, it's, it's like where this series probably does kind of peak. Yeah. As far as it goes from multiple levels. I thought this was going to be a bigger problem in life. Oh yeah. Yeah. Bomb, bomb toilets. But like somehow you just are stuck on a toilet for 12 hours because there's a bomb that's going to go off. Have you ever sat on a toilet for just a little like too long? It's morning. Man, it just needed, yeah, see, there you go. It happens all the time. And you're, you're, he's too old for this shit. Oh, maybe that, you know, just like, there it goes. He, he was there. He took it. He did. And then he did. Yeah. He said it, right? You know, hold on, there's so many questions about this. He did actually make it far enough to have a full blown shit in the toilet that did not get flushed. Maybe a couple. Yes. Because he, he shot and then reached for the toilet paper to then find out that he's fucked game over, if you will, game over on the toilet paper. I'm going to write that in there. Holy shit. Dude, let's go right, let's go right game over on the toilet paper and then roll it back. Let's do it like a bunch of times, like on the roll and then you just roll it back. So it just kind of keeps happening randomly over and over again. But nobody talks about the fact that there is probably shit in that toilet that now he's afraid to flush. Yeah. I think he flushed it. You think, you think he was a multiple flusher before he went for the white? I think he flushed. Would you be brave enough to try the flusher? Well, I, after knowing the bomb was there, I wouldn't touch it. I feel like he, I feel like he probably saw the thing and was like, I'm going to be stuck here for a while. Just to, just to make sure it's like, you know, something all of us have said, but, but his family is gone and they are not coming back. The only reason that generally flushes for the courtesy of other people. I don't care about my own smell. I don't want to walk back in there and be like, what the fuck was I thinking? I don't, I don't like, I am ugly. There is a point. Hey, I mean, like, I shit and I'm ugly. I mean, your body's working good. Sure. All right. Just means it was a good hearty. Thank you guys. Tuzzi. And that's fine. Hey, I like to think that he made, made it through the flush. He doesn't want to sit and wallow in this. He's already embarrassed enough that you got to have like, you know, hey, Riggs, keep it quiet. What is the greatest cuts in movie history? Hardcore, John Hughes. I have to say, it's like there's something about marriage. Like we got to play. Dude, I love even the intro to it because he comes in with his gun pointed and he's like, we're yeah. And he's like, Riggs, I'm up here and he gets up there. He comes behind the door. He's like, good morning. What's going on? What are you doing? How are we so scared? He's like, first time I had a bathroom myself. No, no wife telling me to move on. No kids get coming asking for me. Reading the edition of first thing. This man just loves his fishing and his boats. You know what I mean? And like, good man. It's just, it's just that's his past time. He's passionate about it. He's excited about his, his man cave and two car garage that's being built so he can have this boat. You know, I never understood these feelings in movies until I did have kids and was married. Yeah. Of the like, the precious moments. Yes. Of just taking a shit where no one's there. Yeah. So looking at looking at, I got this vocabulary. I'm just like learning new words. Yeah. What I do on there. Nice. You're like, this is so great. I love it. Yeah. That's that's sponsored. So AJ, how is this the solution though? Like we've got an LA bomb squad that cannot fucking diffuse this thing. By the way, what pun intended, I guess, what a shitty way to kill somebody. Like you pick this, you pick, I'm going to bank on he's going to take a shit today. One, two, that's the way you try and kill. Like that's, it's, it's just like cruel. It's very like, it's very not like, I'm trying to get rid of this guy just quick, you know, because I just don't want him around. He's fucking up my shit. Yeah. That's, that's like, I killed the guy on the shitter. And by the way, fuck you. Yeah. It's, it's, it's pretty damn heartless. Yeah. You know, it's pretty heartless. And the idea is that Mertah, I'm going to bank, I'm banking on Mertah, taking a dump that day. Yep. What if it was his wife? They don't care. What if it, you know, I know he doesn't care, but the idea is to get Mertah, not his wife. Yeah. Now you pissed him off. Yeah. Well, it's just what, so then your plan is gone. Your plan is a rye. That, and, and to be honest, a lot of the deaths, like for that, that happened, a lot of the hits that happened to this are just, you know, they're pretty heartless. The diving board one. Dude. That might be my favorite explosion in movie history. It's really that dummy going, dude. There's your Mentos commercial right there. Just saying. But like I said, I mean, how are they not, how can they not diffuse this bomb? How is the solution to have them jump into an old tub and put a bomb blanket over them with, by the way, they don't give them helmets. They don't give them earplugs. This is, they're fucked after this. Just from that explosion, they won't hear for the rest of their lives. True. I just, I just think it is funny. It's like, like I was saying earlier, it's like, you get stuck on the toilet for just too long and your legs just aren't working right, that you can't get up off, jump off the toilet. It can't. It's like, yeah, he's been sitting there for, imagine being there for 12 hours. You aren't, you don't feel your legs. I would consider just getting up just to die at that point. I'd be like, the crosswords already finished. I mean, you know, I just forgot to throw it away. The worst part about this is having to sit there after this thing has happened, and then having to deal with the blood going back into your legs and feeling the tingles and the, you know, the little pricklies. Yeah. And, and yeah, like, the temptation to get up. Oh my God. I just, that might be the worst part of it all, to be honest. And the through line of that station wagon just getting demolished throughout the movie, the toilet lands on the station wagon. Of all the vehicles outside of his house. Maybe don't buy such a shitty vehicle. Oh, got it. Got it. All right. I love, I love the, when he's, when the bomb swad guy is like rigs, we got to go, like it's time, like you got to go and he's like, God, I'm not going. And he just looks at him. The way he looks at him is just like, it's my fucking friend. There, there wasn't like any explanation about it. Yeah. He just, he's like only looking at Murtagh. And then he says, we got, it's, we got to go now. And he just looks at him. Yeah. It's like, I'm not going to tell you, I'm not going to find a way to tell you to get out of this room. Am I? And he just realizes it. If someone was like, you should leave the room while we put your dog down. Yeah. Are you fucking kidding me? So somebody did that, somebody did that to, uh, when, like my childhood dog and they said, you know, you should leave the room. It's easier for them because they aren't trying to hold, you know, and like, I believed him at one point. And then I was just like, that was the worst fucking decision ever. Leaving the room. Yeah. Leaving the room. You left the room. Yeah. We had to, like the, the vet like asked us to leave. Get a new vet. I know. What the? Oh, I know. And then like, so we, and we've, we've had a dog, we had to put down and they, they like made it like a moment for us. That's what happened with you hold on as long as you know, Sergeant Melonstein was the, it was the saddest thing I've ever done in my entire life, but yet somehow it was like the thing I'll hold on to for the rest of my life was being able to be there. Yeah. And I, I, as the pain fades a little bit, you're like, I'm just so glad I was able to be there. Yeah. And like, I was, I was like, uh, I was coming back and it's just, and I wish I would have had the wherewithal to say like, no, I'm just staying here. But like, even my parents left and like, so I just thought it was the right thing to do. I don't believe that anymore. Cause I, it sucks. He's like, guys like you don't die in the toilet. You know, but this is like, this is like a reiteration in like the, the culmination and like the best representation in a scene of these guys as a relationship here. Correct. Cause he even looks at rigs. He's like, I know, man, we're tough guy cops. You don't say I love you. Yeah. I know. But me too. Yeah. And, and though the way he says it is like, guys like you don't, don't die on the toilet. We don't die. Yeah. Like this, this isn't how we're going out. And it's kind of the nice thing because it's the opposite of the, uh, I'm too old for this shit mentality. You know what I mean? And so it's just like nice reminder. It's a nice way to, that they represent their bond, um, that they've, that they've built. And if kind of the, if, if you are going down somehow, then I'm going with you. Yeah, exactly. Well, and then obviously you get to, uh, what I thought was an incredible scene. They get to the bank, the South African bank or something like that. And Murtaugh goes in there. By the way, that's Jim Pidek. Uh, he was the announcer and best in show, the straight, the straight man. Oh, nice. He's so good. He's such a versatile guy, but I love, I love Pashie bringing in the black man into South African bank and how kind of amped up Murtaugh gets on this whole thing. It's beautiful. I love this scene. My friend, he wants to go. He's like, you got to help me talk, you got to help me talk him out of it. It's like, it's like, why would I talk about it? Why would I talk about it? It's like, uh, it's like, oh, it's solid or whatever he is in here. He's like, uh, but your, your black is the way that they're laughing about it afterwards is maybe the best part. And is, is what makes Joe Pesci such an amazing addition to this guy. These guys are buddy cop. That's what these guys are. But the lightheartedness of Joe Pesci, like squeezing in between them when he can is just what makes this so golden and how closer together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're absolutely right. The, before I knew that they were kind of more racist people. I was like, their logo looks like the iron eagle Nazi logo or whatever. And I'm like, oh, oh wait, that's what it was. Yeah. Yeah. You don't really tend to get it in this movie until about now is when you start really realizing the racism involved. Yeah. Then you start to realize it's like, oh, this is all happening because these assholes are just like the cream of the crop like racists. When he walks in their office, like, well, well, it's the master race. Yeah. Cause Aaron Arian or whatever your name is. Aaron or whatever you name is. Shooting the fucking fish tank was so great. Pick them up with your hands. Pick them up with your hands. I love when he is, uh, like driving around and fuck with him. Oh, too. Like he's just, or like he gives him that look. Just unhinged. I fucking love it. We get the best rigs looks in this lethal weapon. It's the best rigs. It's, you think so? Yeah. Dude, that's that might be a good call. It's interesting about, I think rigs. Interestingly enough, Mel Gibson, I think if they would have done a Christopher Nolan dark night back when they did the Burton movies, like I think Mel Gibson could have been Joker. Joker. His unhinged nature in this movie. Mel Gibson is unreal as an actor. He's so good and it sucks because like who Mel Gibson is. I mean, he's just, it sucks to go back to these movies. Be like, I love Mel Gibson because he's just, man, if you ever, if you listen to Howard Stern, like I did, like they went off on Mel Gibson for like a year with those voicemails that he was leaving his wife and like the recordings of like, blow me. The Mel Gibson is a piece of shit. He is one of the worst humans to ever live, but my God is this man and actor. Yeah. And he's so fucking good in this movie. He was on Joe Rogan, you know? Was he? Yeah. I'll have anybody on. I'll talk to anybody. Hey, he wasn't, hey, he wasn't in the Epstein files. All right. The man is a terrible person. And weird, he was fighting racist in this movie and he's a pretty big racist. Master race, huh? Hey, Hollywood changes people. All right. It really does. Yeah. And they tried, they kind of forgave him for when he did Hacksaw Ridge, but then he fell off a cliff again. Listen, I saw signs. I loved it. That's great. He's a good director as we might find out when we do Braveheart. Oh, when we do Passion of the Christ? We do Braveheart. That's fiction. Hacksaw Ridge fell off a cliff again. Great. Great. Good. Thank you. I appreciate that. I really worked on that. That was a good one. Yeah. Scene four. Erin's crew began systematically killing anyone, investigating them. Leo's kidnapped. Murtaugh fights them off and Riggs and Rika escape a helicopter attack, but they eventually capture them and kill Rika. We talked about the pool dummy flying through the air. Unreal. That is Jeanette Goldstein, who we must point out. We must point out was Vasquez and aliens and Janelle and T2. We got to point that out for the friends out there. Amazing. She's one of the goats. Looking pretty good in that swimsuit too, that one piece. She's looking good. She's working it. She's working it. She's getting her laps in every day? Yeah. I'm going to have to ask, is this a swimmer? It shows. Go ahead. The person we have on the show, who I really love. John Lajoie. One of my biggest idols. I can't remember his name. Yeah. Like fucking Quentin. If she smells good. That's all I was going to say. That's really all I was going to say. Kind of a weird comment. It is. It is. Yeah. Yeah. I said it. I'm glad. Sean, did you get slasher movie vibes a little bit in this? When Mertah backs up against the Saran wrap, that's a Halloween Friday the 13th kill. Oh yeah. Like slasher vibes to the night. Because it's like a jump scare too. He backs up and then the guy comes after him, right? And punches through it. It feels like Michael Myers is reaching through a window to kill somebody. Yeah. Beautiful moment. Covered up in a blanket. Yeah. Like shoots him with the nail gun. The nail gun comes back. There we go. Great reference there, right? It's just a perfect callback. This is it again. They're doing such a great job of like giving the subtleties of like the little bit of context and hearing there. Because he even says like, yeah, I sent the kids and wife up to their sisters or whatever. And even gave the carpenter guide week off. So he's not there or anything. And so, you know, you just get those little pieces, but he was going to come back for his nail gun. You would think. I would think so. You come back for a nail gun like that. That's police evidence now. Oh, shit. Well, you fucked up. D. Hole shoot out at the beach with them. Well, first of all, I guess like they were both married at this time. Their love making scene. Were they? Well, Rick, whatever. I can't remember her name. Mel Gibson. They're both married. So it was very awkward for them. And apparently she says like, well, at least I wanted to see his dick and balls like for real life. I'm like, but you said you were married. I don't know. It was a weird interview. But you, but they got to see my, I'm assuming vagina. I saw my boobs and my vagina. Very true. Ladies, I think they actually did penetration on scenes. Oh, yeah, they had to on. They're like, we have to do this. We have to make it real. Yeah. How else would you believe it? Like, look, we're doing everything else. Everything else is practical effects. All right. I think it'd be the most practical thing to just go ahead and, you know, yeah, just go ahead and do it. I take note, Nolan. Yeah. I believe this. We just talked about Wayne's world. We talked about Mike Myers and Tia Carrera. Like there's no chemistry there. There's chemistry here between these guys. And I love her. It's, it's truthfully brutal to me that she dies. It's bad. And I don't know why I care so much about her. I know nothing about her. She's just so sweet. She's just a sweetheart. And she just trying to make it in LA, taking whatever job she can. And it's fucking brutal when you see her dead in that. Kind of wish, kind of wish that alternate ending would have been there where maybe she does, he saves her and she's now a part of the family. And they've got a bit of a happy ending. But ouch. You do. You really want that. But the fact that you don't get it is what makes it so impactful. He finally found somebody. But yeah. And that's, that's the big thing too. It's like you almost love her so much because Riggs found her. And like, it's like, it's like when you're, when your buddy gets like a girlfriend and it's like, no, she is, she is cool. I'm glad she's not like some weirdo. I wouldn't mind having her hang around. It's like, you know, I'm really stoked for this actually. This is, this is, this is great stuff. She died. Go to a baseball game or something. Dude, she just seems like one of the guys, you know, like, she like, she comes over, she ate his chili with the Oreos even man. Like she, she thought that was a joke until he whipped him out. But man, she's, she's gonna eat wings and drink beer. She's got a DraftKings account. Dude, dude, I'm saying it's like, she's legit. She gave me referral code. So like, she got killed by South African racists. So excuse me. Well, when? What did you say? She's at the bottom of the ocean. Well, why drowned? Yeah, she's, she's white. She fell off a cliff. She's dead. Why the race? Why the race is killed? It doesn't matter. But she was perfect. She was perfect. She was of the master race. Oh, she was a woman. Oh, if we can't have her, no one can. You can suspend your disbelief on this even more too, because there is no surviving this helicopter attack. I don't think so. There is just like, they not only took two different helicopters with automatic weapons to just destroy that thing. Two helicopters. Yes. Then they got on the ground and walked around and started shooting it. And somehow her running to the truck was not a, you know, we were all reloading at the same time. We didn't see it. Yeah. The lights over here and our eyes didn't really adjust for the darkness over here where she was going to the truck. You play video games. It's like, you know, she opened the truck door and like those lights popped on. Right. Like that's just the way cars are. Not old cars. Oh, well, no, no. Yeah. The old cars, no, they were notorious for it. And they were notorious for blowing up too when you started them. And it's crazy. I know. Super weird. Well, and they make the note to show that somehow a glass gets knocked over and starts the fire. Does that mean they were drinking like 151 or something like that? Because that's all he has. You have to be over what, like 105 proof or something like that to like be flammable. Yeah. So I just liked that they took the time to show that like, watch this glass fell over and started a fire. Sorry. I hope you like jet fuel. Yeah. It's all I got. Can I get you something? Water or jet fuel? Well, they're driving away and the whole action scene happens. They both survive or whatever. And he's like, so what are you doing Saturday? Yeah, I know. Well, and by the way, man. Yeah. Okay. This all happens. The last thing you do is take her back to her place. Exactly. You take her to the station. That really sucks. You take her to anywhere else. Like why on earth would you think that this is the play? I couldn't remember. I thought they were setting us up because we've seen so many bombs go off and so many like unnecessary locations. And she was just going to open the door and boom. Now, I guess they don't, they're not actually in the apartment to capture her. They were just following them. But at the same time, just stay together. Yeah. You found a good one. Stay together. You found a real good one. Let's keep her. And we, and it's not like you just found somebody at a grocery store and you're in love with them now. It's like, no, she has intimate knowledge of the bad people. Yeah. She filled out a W2 for bad people, for taxes. They know her address. Yeah. That's where her paycheck gets sent. Yeah. They've got her information. You know what I mean? It'd be great for even our show if she survived, then we could maybe interview her and be like, so what does the W2 look like for goons? Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? Do they tax your earnings or is there some sort of diplomatic immunity from taxes? Is there a like a garnish or wage garnishing? Is there like, you know, Do they have good like 401k plans? I want to know. Dude, dude, the goon temp agency bit is the greatest thing that might have ever come out of this shell. A temp agency for specifically for goons to work for goons. Hey, we just need more goons. It's LA. We need lots of goons. She just went to the wrong place. She's like, I'll take anything. Yeah. Well, this is like a goon thing. You just seem too nice for good. It's like, look, I've been in town for three weeks. I'm almost already out of money. Okay, I got to have something. All right. All right. Well, we got these South African guys. Oh, and they I believe they actually pay most of their wages in gold. Wow. I mean, unbelievable. I picked a better spot. Yeah. So as long as you're good with money laundering, murder and lots of explosives, you're good. LA. This is LA. Here we are. We're done, son. Yeah. My favorite thing about this though, is how they take out rigs outside the house, like they knock him. But then you see the dog kind of pop up. And he's just like, okay. I wrote I forgot that you see the dog at the end. I thought for sure that like the dog never reappeared. But no, you see him on the beach later on. I'm like, thank God. I know. Don't fuck with this dog. I wrote down Sam as a good boy. Sam is a good boy. Sam understands you don't fuck with these people right now. You hide you live another day. Yeah. It's like he's got his own plot and plan to make. He's got the shifty eyes, the shifty dog eyes, but he's going to lay low for now. Final scene rigs and myrta essentially abandon protocol, destroy rude house, rescue Leo and go rogue rigs and myrta single handedly take down all of our ends crew foiling the plan and saving the day. I don't I'm not a structural guy. I don't know much about cars, but I don't think that a truck can pull the steel girder from the house. From the margin of the New York. I've checked specs on rotary girders before. I don't think you can do that. Did you put your meter to him or something? Yeah. Yeah. I checked my I built a plague house the other day. So I know about that stuff. You know about structural integrity. I just don't think it's possible, but I also don't care because I've been watching this movie from the start and I just love how just he's like fuck it. Yeah. I mean, he's fuck. You have to believe like at this point, because of we're watching this movie and we've seen so many quote unquote unbelievable things that you're just like it's the truck power and his rage power. It's like there it is. Yeah. It's he somehow is able to get more torque out of the truck than a normal guy because he's got rage. Yeah. It's like it's like he poured a thing of like liquid Schwartz into it, but it was liquid rage. Yes. And that's what got into the tank. And you're right. He's just so rageful. He's just like he brought his hat down. You know, he's serious. He's like they killed her. They killed a ride. They killed her. They killed both of them. They killed them both. And he's like he's talking about his wife, but he's talking about. Meritah has no clue what he's talking about. He's like he's just he's like Ron Burgundy in a glass case of emotions. Just like would you just please take a second. But no, like that moment is so, so good. You know what? That's a Ford. That's a Ford Ford 350 power stroke. I think it could do it, man. Think it could do it. All right. I'm fine with it. I just want to mention I just don't think that I'm happy that it's for real. Like they built this. I mean, obviously it's like kind of like a facade. It's got a lot of it's balsa wood or something, I imagine. But at least it's we see it on camera and fucking sick as hell. It's so good, man. It's this is this is also one of those peak moments that I think about all the time when I think about the lethal weapon movies is him pulling this pulling those still. And how excited he is like jumping in the air that he did it. Yes, he's so jazzed. And like Leo and Murtagh, were they in the house? They got out, but they got out. But he didn't take care to think if they had made it. He's like, we're just going to pull this down. And like at first you're like, oh, rigs you crazy son of a bitch. And then they're out there just like, dude, that was awesome, man. That was so cool. It's like, it's like Tommy boy, where he's just that was awesome. Sorry about your house though, man. It sucks. Beautiful, beautiful house. Leo gets kind of his final send off here to it's he's like, can I put the siren on when I go back? He's like, fine. Yeah. Yeah, he disappears. He's gone. Yeah. He's like, oh, really? Really? I could do it. It's just like, yep, you could do it, man. You do you. All right, just get out of here. And they do go into that container that in the shipyard. And like, I did have to look is there such a thing as $1,000 bills? I thought they were fucking with them. But from 1861 to 1934, they made $1,000 bills featured President Grover Cleveland. That's right. And they they made them essentially for large transfers of money from like bank to bank kind of a thing. In 69, they announced the didn't discontinue continuation of them and didn't have them circulating anymore. But they're still legal tender and are very rare. Banks are required to send any of them that they received for destruction. So if you had one, you can take it to the bank and they'll give you $1,000, but then they will destroy the bill. Why? You would think nowadays we need it more than ever, like even higher things of denomination. They got rid of the penny. So like that means we got room for the thousand. We got room for a thousand dollar bills. I said it better myself. Yeah. I used to keep change back when we had cash and I used to put it in a giant jar jar so that every time we went on a trip, I would take it somewhere and have like $500 of spending money on a vacation. Now, anytime somebody's like, do you want this? I'm like, no, no, I don't take that. No, would you like to donate your extra seven cents to a snarling for no, I don't I don't want to cover your tax write off. Okay. Please. I'm not contributing to it. If you had if you had if you had a an old peanut butter plastic peanut butter jar with a picture of a kid who said, Hey, would you like to do? I'd give you $20 into that, but I'm not paying your tax write off. Okay. You can look awesome. Exactly. Do you want to give your nickels to diving for ibis? Perhaps. How do you remember? What a poll. That's a hell of a poll. How did you pull that? I'm a good listener. He's a good listener. He is. He may be a professional talker. He's also a professional listener. All right. Well, you're also a professional movie watcher. So tell me how in the world this truck drives out of the cargo ship exploding? What makes this truck explode driving? Well, is that rage, man? Me being a movie experts, they have like some special special. Okay. Okay. Okay. So they have special cannons right there. Like a much much like desperado where they just had like the LP tanks behind them. It dissipates really fast. So they just had those in there. That's all I wanted. Yeah, perfect. Okay. Okay. I thought this is pretty great. And I've guys I've always thought that shipping containers were going to be a bigger problem in my life. Yeah. They made a house out of shipping containers here in Cedar Rapids. I sold it and I was nervous the whole time I was inside of it. I can't imagine you wouldn't feel claustrophobic, but at the same time, I see that stuff all the time on the internet and I want to build houses. It was awesome. It was incredible. Way ahead of its time in Cedar Rapids. People are like, what? You can't do that. And then about 10 years they'll be like, we have a whole development of cargo. Exactly. Cargo is the coolest thing. When the day comes that I have like whatever tiny plot of land that is just mine someday, right? I'll get there. I'm going to build a container house on it. That's a little deal. And then fantasy life when you're widowed and like, yeah, everything's gone to shit or whatever. Yes. You just have one. It's got to be near a body of water. You have to be able to longingly stare out over the body of water. That's true. It'll be Pacific Northwest. Nice. C and Dubs. Anyways guys, back to change. Why haven't they figured out to not ring it up for pennies, you know, to be included? I'm just kidding. What's a better kill are Tom Hardy at wish.com. Tom Hardy here with the thing falling on it or the diplomatic community, Aaron getting finally his demise. It's got to be diplomatic community. I mean, it's just such an iconic line. Well, and the fact that it was Roger that did it is, you know, because Roger is the one who's a little bit more of a straight laced, you know, he's the straight cop where Riggs is the loose cannon, right? And so it's good that it's great because he's the one who did it. But also, yes, you're right. I was gonna say, what the fuck, Mike? No, you're right. He's the black guy. This guy's been holding up his stupid little fucking card for 10 years going diplomatic immunity. I'm racist. I don't wear these suits so you don't see all my tattoos that say fuck your kind of people. And finally somebody like it doesn't work. Yeah, someone kills them. But this is a little interesting, right? Because like, you can't just be like, we're not cops for tonight. I love that line, though. I'm not a cop tonight, Raj. I'm not a cop. I love it. And I love the sentiment. God, it's so good. But like, no, you are. You are a cop. And a lot of people just got killed. Yeah. Mega destruction in Long Beach shipping port that's going to cause some big problems. You killed, albeit a piece of shit, you killed a diplomat from South America. And all of his workers, a woman is dead. A lot of the cop force is dead. They're just like, next time you drive next time you drive. This is not a happy ending. No, it's not a happy ending. I mean, it's a it's an ending to that is like we're happy it's resolved. These guys are fucked. So but they destroyed a house paperwork later, man. Yeah. Fuck. I mean, like, it's okay. We put our badges in the car. We didn't bring them with us. Technically, we weren't, we were off the clock. And we're off duty. Yeah. We're off duty. This is just our extracurricular stuff. And we happened to kill some bad guys. So yes, killing is bad. And you know, we can't do that while we don't have badges on. But are we going to miss them? Yes, there's going to be a lots of paperwork. And like, we're going to have to deal with South African, whatever, they're still coming down. Now look, guys, okay, first off, they've killed a bunch of cops. And I believe they have the proof of such things. Thank you. Everyone's dead to confirm now. Who did the shit? Please, please. So there's some ballistics experts who like see the bomb at Murtagh's house and compare them with the bomb. They couldn't even figure out who did the bomb at his house. Okay, so let's just, okay, okay, okay. Let's just continue on with the idea that like, oh, you killed a you killed a South African, South African ain't coming for us. Are you kidding? It's a US of a it's the US of a what Oh, what are they gonna they're gonna take their old shipping routes to fucking bring it come on over. What the hell? That means they got to go around South America, gotta go around the horn, they got to go. They ain't doing that. They ain't going through the Panama Canal. Sorry, I brought it up. Okay, to come and get us. They know they ain't doing it, brother. I'm sorry, I brought it up. You should be. So they did shoot this ending in two different ways. Like I said in the beginning of this, but the shot that's like, like coming fading away from them, like helicopter shot that's going away, that was a that was supposed to be the ending where he dies. So in that shot, Murtagh or Riggs is dead in Murtagh's arms. Man, I do you if this whole thing had ended after this and Riggs dies, are you okay with it? I kind of am. I'm not because because that means you're left that that would be you know what here's the thing that's the reason that we got gone fishing with fucking Joe Pesci and Danny Glover because Riggs is no longer dead man and they have to go once a year to like talk about him and keep his memory. I think I would like it if they built that kind of sentiment up better throughout the whole movie. Yes. I don't think they wanted to do that. They just they just tried it at the end to see if like maybe it would work. You know what I mean? So like the the the story that they filmed had Riggs living at the end. Yes, there was not enough implications of like this might be he might die. That's what I mean. Yeah, you're right. The only time that comes when he starts to get unhinged. Yeah. Other than that you're like man. Okay. You kind of like as an audience member you have to have a tinge of like a poetic outing of like your hero. I'll let him live but I did want Rikka to survive and chill out. That's my one problem. Well see and that's that's the thing is like because there was discussions you said earlier there was also discussions of them all living and going back to Murtaz for another holiday dinner probably stuff some kind right. But it's like it we there had to be some sort of a sacrifice there to make this to make the end so much more important and dire for Riggs. You know that connection for him. If she had survived then it would have been it would have been like a James Bond kind of love interest where she's not coming back in the next one. Correct. You know what I mean? Like there's going to be some ununshot story of why she's not there anymore and we would have just gotten that in the first like 15 minutes of the next one. Like Karate Kid 2 and Elizabeth Shoe Vanish. Correct. And you're like fuck this. And then you really would have been pissed. Fuck this. You know so no but I wanted I wanted her to live too. Riggs not living seems like it's like a non-negotiable. Okay. And like number two you have lethal weapon two comes out to be a massive hit again and you know there's going to be a number three. You can't just have two lethal weapons. A trilogy is necessary. A trilogy is necessary. And we'll discuss that this holiday season. Man it's like he's good at this. Holy shit. Well anything you guys want to say about this movie before we give it a review. No. No. Said it all man. My friends we have dissected this movie scene by scene. It's time to give it our modern day ratings. It'll be etched in stone forever. You can see the ratings of all the movies we've done at confusedbreakfast.com. See how this one stacks up. Also please support us directly at patreon.com.com. Confused Breakfast perks like voting on upcoming movies, bonus audio episodes, direct access to discord, all kinds of cool stuff. Sean I'm going to start with you man. Modern day rating of lethal weapon two. I think this movie is really fun. I think it's quite much like the best action movies of this era. Firstly the weapons a little darker and then you get this. I think they much like I think about Wayne's World II they refined what lethal weapon is in this movie. So now these guys are like the ultimate buddy cop and we get the best of them in this movie. And like we discussed in the episode we don't really need to know the much about like the villainous plot the the kind of diplomatic governmental kind of whatever bullshit's going on. We just know that they're a bad guy and all we want to see in lethal weapon movies all I want to see in lethal weapon movies is Mertah and Riggs defeat the bad guy and figure it out together and go through shit together literally in this movie. And you add Leo gets as a comedic kind of relief is it's fun I don't need I don't actually really need it it's just a fun welcoming. I had so much fun with this movie every every time an action scene got over with it I was like fuck yeah dude it's just so much fun. I do like it better than the first one. I'm going to give it an 8.8. 8.8 for Sean AJ what about you. All right well here's the thing I really did like when I was like nostalgically and up until the this current watch of it I thought I had it in my brain that number two was like the the the worst one of all of them and it's it's so funny it's like it's like the Rocky movies you know like you watch them all and you have your favorites that you like to watch but you have there are ones that are they are better than the others right and this is this is the same exact thing I really did think that uh you know I was just I was just kind of blinded by nostalgia for what this series is and what I didn't maybe catch and and really pay attention to in this one. I don't think that this movie is is as good if you didn't get uh Joe Pesci into it. He's such an important part of like this series from here on out and and just gives us some great comic relief and again Sean you made the made a great point of the like there's no it it's hard to like pinpoint the bad guy to a degree it's like it doesn't feel like the big bad it just feels like this bad thing that's happening but that's not the point the point is Myrta and Riggs you know and their chemistry and what they're doing and it's no it's no telling why they made like a tv series out of it and they wanted it to do well um so that being said um originally lethal weapon guys this was this was one of my higher movies I think uh according to this I gave that a 9.5 I think that this is that might have been too generous I uh it's tough I'm gonna give this though I'm gonna give this a 9 yes a 9 yes I'm gonna give it a 9 yeah yeah I like uh the lethal weapon series to me is uh better than the diehard series I think now that we've dove into two each lethal weapons almost perfect it's almost like the perfect buddy guy dynamic with like the action with the fun stuff with the cool kind of things happening I don't know like I'm excited to go back to lethal weapon one because I only gave it a seven but that was so early in this so early I mean like we were all just like ah like it was like you're making a stand like the fourth movie you've ever watched yeah I know it was yeah basically basically well you you know it was so early like I wanted to be really excited about lethal weapon my pick Sean Sean was like hey yeah hell yeah lethal weapon whatever and Mike's trying to be reserved and cool I'm just establishing a baseline lethal weapon in hocus pocus same movie okay yeah basically so we may have to revisit that score on lethal weapon one um but I I do think this one's better I think this is an 8.1 and we got to go to starling starling says this movie opens right in the middle of a car chase making the bold assumption that if you're in if you're in a theater you're here to see your old pal rigs and myrtah and if you're not well fuck it who cares back story not required this is a mel Gibson movie and everybody loves mel right if this is your go-to background movie I can see why you can look up every now and then enjoy a few chaotic scenes the iconic toilet scene is one of the fun ones but I couldn't stop thinking did he manage to wipe or flush at any point overnight there are a lot of people crowded into that bathroom sniff sniff ewe gross and while I don't want to overthink the physics of a movie like this I'm not sure how he managed to pull rigs off the toilet and get him under a blanket or how that blanket would fully protect you from the debris of a full explosion that said I did notice there were a few bit of lag between the yank and the explosion giving him a few seconds to make it happen in what was supposed to be a hairpin trigger detonation that is because of the nitrogen they did the nitrogen and that is what gave them the few seconds yes which is science don't know and makes perfect sense don't worry about it no yeah while that scene is admittedly an eyebrow razor the moment when the mobster walks in and is told we are painting only to immediately be shot to make a cleanup easier now that's a stroke of genius the most charming part of this movie isn't rigs for me it's myrtos family the kids are great and the condom commercial was genuinely funny especially when it paid off later with gets the only time I actually laughed out loud during this movie was when he watched the commercial and said she made me want to go out and buy rubbers right overall this movie is a bit scattered we have a villain who shouts like he man yelling I have diplomatic immunity as if it's a defensive spell from hogwarts yeah no exact thank you there's also an Eva Braun like secretary we're supposed to believe is completely innocent who rakes instantly falls madly in love with after sleeping with her once okay make that six times but still one night even brawn like it's it's true that's great but hey he got himself a slice of that South African I guess he really a parted her hide you know what I mean why are you so on fire dude that's that's starling dude rep in it while she is very beautiful the moment he realizes she's been murdered he goes full Wolverine berserker rage killing everyone it's like come on guys nuts and that's when it hit me what feels so odd about this movie it wants to sit in the same categories diehard but at least with diehard the insanity feels like something a cop might plausibly do in defense of protecting people these cops however are in full offensive mode more commando than cop movie rigs trying to tying a truck to the stilts of a mansion in the LA hills pulling it down is completely bonkers Gibson's charming but there's something about someone who knows the audience loves him that doesn't work here for me I'm it's giving I know you ladies want to fuck me wink wink whereas Glover really is genuinely lovable along with his entire family my overall assessment is that I get while this was fun in the 80s and Gibson and Glover are fun to watch I shan't be hitting play again but if it was on in the background I might leave it on a 6.15 a little low but that's why we do this as a group in 8.01 that's going to take this movie tied in 72nd position with dawn of the dead we gave lethal weapon one an 8.2 so this is going to be fall a little bit underneath regular lethal weapon my cousin Vinnie is better than this and uh home alone too is worse than this to tie
