Believe it or not, I’d never seen
Lethal Weapon. I had seen small parts of it but never sat down and watched it from beginning to end. Today they were showing some kinda old man movie marathon on
Ion.
Top Gun was on next but I have no desire to actually watch it. Maybe because I’ve heard too many jokes about it. The movie begins with L.A.P.D. Homicide Detective Sergeant Roger Murtaugh (
Danny Glover) taking a bath when his wife and kids burst in and sing happy birthday. This was so gross to me by the way. I’d never go into the bathroom while my father was bathing unless there was a fire. Meanwhile L.A.P.D. Narcotics Detective Sergeant Martin Riggs (
Mel Gibson) is sitting at home about to shoot himself in the head because his wife was killed in a car accident.
One of Murtaugh's old friends daughter took drugs and killed herself by jumping off a balcony. I laughed because she landed on top of a car and landed in a beautiful position. She had on a nighty and the damn thing didn’t even ride up. Lame. Riggs meanwhile is acting like a fucking psycho and should be fired but they keep him on. He’s a wild card that needs to be dealt with.
Pun! They meet and find out they’re partners now. Oh, and that chick who jumped had drain cleaner in her drugs and the case is now a homicide, not suicide. Sorry. Allow me to add this to the
Dangerous Shit From 80’s Films List.
