A few quick things on a movie I have been overthinking for 3+ decades. I love that it's largely Murtaugh's story. He's the main character; Riggs is inflicted on him. Roger's never a mystery to us and Riggs is entirely unpredictable, not just the titular lethal weapon, duh,…

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid may have been the genesis of the modern buddy movie, and films like 48 hrs. and Freebie and the Bean may have added some details to that prototype but one movie, more than any other, set the stage for the modern action and buddy movie. …

Finally saw Lethal Weapon for the first time! It took me a while to get into it, but after I was, the action is really fun! Mel Gibson's whole "I'm a crazy cop" thing kind of confused me so once it got past that, I became a lot more interested. Danny Glover gives a…
Ethan ColburnJul 30, 2016The quintessential buddy-cop movie and one of the best action pictures ever, Richard Donner's "Lethal Weapon" is a sleek jolt of cinematic energy whose heavy and light tones blend into something uniformly excellent. Starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as two diametrically…
Travis LytleJan 12, 2026“I guess we need to register you as a Lethal Weapon.” Lethal Weapon is an excellent movie. It’s entertaining, fun, action-packed, and features great humour. However, its main strength lies in the cast. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are absolutely brilliant in their roles.…

Can’t wait to watch all of the…

Angie Lankford lovedLethal WeaponThe pinnacle of 80s buddy cop movies. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover had such great chemistry. Plus, the action was non-stop. Gary Busey was also good as the villain. One of the few movies out there that has aged well. Worth a rewatch or two.👍🏻👍🏻

Lethal Weapon opens with a shot of Mel Gibson in his birthday suit and just gets better. Likewise we meet costar Danny Glover in the bathtub, fêted by his family on his 50th birthday. This endearing double exposure introduces us to the vulnerabilities of these superduper heroes, an odd couple of cops who mature into friends as they quell crime.

This is one of the best of the subgenre, an action-packed movie that delivers adrenaline jolts with both barrels while not skimping on character development and wry humor.
