Lethal Weapon V

[Dr. Evil]

Thank god. Needs to Rest in Piece.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hmm, I would have loved to see a 5th one, but i guess it's good to know that this series now has no chance of going downhill.

 

[Cagefighterkip]

yknow i wanted a LW5 really bad,
and im still dissapointed but at the same time, the series was sliding downhill (though i dig LW3 and LW4)... maybe its best to leave well enuff alone

Shane Black Reveals His Plans for ‘Lethal Weapon 5’

“I wrote a 62-page treatment with my friend Chuck for “Lethal Weapon 5” that would’ve been, I think, a very good movie. It was interesting. It was essentially an older Riggs and Murtagh in New York City during the worst blizzard in east coast history, fighting a team of expert Blackwater guys from Afghanistan that’s smuggling antiquities. And we had a young character that actually counter-pointed them. But I didn’t wanna do what people do when they’re trying to transition which is, they sorta put the two older guys in the movie, but really it’s about their son! And he’s gonna take over and we’re gonna do a spinoff. **** that, if they’re gonna be in the movie, they’re gonna be in the movie — I don’t care how old they are.”

 

[MadVillainy]

Meh.

I thought 4 was a good send off. Glad they didn't move forward with 5

 

[Schlosser85]

4 shouldn't have existed, let alone 5.

 

[Soapy]

4 was fine.

 

[StarLord]

I'd go LW, 2, 4 & 3.

Best part of the third film was the Sting and Eric Clapton song.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Best part of 3 was at least Riggs had his mullet intact.

 

[Octoberist]

BTW, in the first two movies, Mel's Aussie accent was super strong.

 

[MadVillainy]

4 was fine.

Yeah I liked 4. I like all of them really. I dont think any of them are particularly bad.
I barely remember the third one though

 

[James]

4 was a good ending. They made a point of Riggs and Murtaugh getting older and it effected their performance in the action scenes which was excellent.

So Die Hard 2 mixed with Die Hard 3


In the winter but in New York this time

 

[Roose Bolton]

It added class to the whole thing

 

[Soapy]

Yeah I liked 4. I like all of them really. I dont think any of them are particularly bad.

I agree.

I also agree that 4 felt like a good send off.

I can't deny that I would like to see Riggs and Murtaugh back one last time though.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

I saw Expendables 3 & thought Mel could still bring it.
It would be fun to see another round in the LW series.
As long as it doesnt go the same route the last Die Hard film went.

Glover is what, 70 now? Think if they're going to do it realistically, the two guys would have to be retired but get back together to deal with something the cops are unwilling to take on.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Black goes further into the idea in the Nerdist interview but it sounds pretty great. Sticks true and understands to the original film's concept that the sequels lacked and didn't have as clear a grasp on (including the second movie). Black has stated the first film is a western and you can definitely see it. With his explanation it's the same thing.

Re-watching the first film last week, I noticed a lot more depth. It's really about Vietnam and these once gunslingers who were once in their prime and were good at what they did then are now all trying to survive on their own and they're all handling it in different ways. The villains and Riggs and Murtagh really aren't that different. Both men could have gone down that same road if not for a few differences. That fight between Mr. Joshua and Riggs isn't just a macho fight. It's two former Vietnam vets from the same cloth who went in separate directions who NEED to fight each other because they both need to see who is the most true at what he still has in him.

He'll be 70 on July 22.

I agree. There's a lot to the original film!

 

[Alex Murphy]

Which is today so yep, he's 70.

 

[Mysteryman]

Happy Birthday, Danny Glover!

 

[dark_b]

Glover today looks 10 years younger than Gibson. haha

 

[Elevator Man]

Didn't know where else to post this video.

'Lethal Weapon' cast reunites for 30th anniversary of the classic buddy cop film

Spoiler

[YT]rCAnP_F1BOw[/YT]

There's another video on YT titled "Tribute to Richard Donner – Riggs and Murtaugh Reunite" where Gibson and Glover appeared on stage at a tribute to Richard Donner. I can't post it b/c Mel drops an F-bomb at the end of the video, but fans of the original Lethal Weapons should check it out. Mel and Danny still got that magic/chemistry that held those movies together. Though it's doubtful it'll ever happen I'd watch a 5th Lethal Weapon movie with Mel and Danny at the age they are now. And if not Lethal Weapon 5maybe some other movie together.

 

[Tg11]

Mel and Danny reuniting makes sense given that it has been 30 years but how about the rest of the cast
