Fowl also said you're heavy into martial arts, Tai Chi and all that killer stuff. I suppose we have to register you as a lethal weapon. Hey, look, friend, let's just cut the shit. Now, we both know why I was transferred. Everybody thinks I'm suicidal, in which case I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me. Or they think I'm faking to draw a psycho pension, in which case I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me. Basically, I'm fucked.

Guess what? What? I don't want to work with you. Hey, don't. Ain't got no choice. Looks like we both are fucked. Terrific. God hates me.

That's what it is. Back everybody to the action returns. I'm your host, Brian. This is episode number 22. Yeah. With me. Of course, you just heard him right there. My brother, Nez.

What's up, man? I'm good, man. Just living. just living trying to get through these holidays. Holiday. Yeah. It's rough. Yeah.

Holidays. I'm not a holiday guy, but I am doing the 25 days of Christmas horror movies and some of them are not good. 25 days. Yeah. Every year I try to do something to get into the Christmas spirit. I'm just not, that's not me. I'm not that guy. You know, as long as my kids have a good Christmas, that's it.

I don't watch all the, the sappy, cheesy Christmas movies like Lance. And we put up a tree. That's it. Nothing more. Yeah. I can't do the sappy ones. But I am going to watch that one on Hulu. I think it's Hulu with, what's your girl, the mouth breather.

Oh. Bella. Underwater girl. What the fuck was it? Kristen Stewart. Yeah. Oh, dude, that reminds me. I had that fucking,

that Twilight Steelbook in my hand last night. I got, you keep picking it up, man. Just buy it. It was the only one. I think I'm just going to pull a trigger and buy it tomorrow,

if it's still there. But I should have bought it the other day. I think it was last week. It was like a $10 price drop. It was only $25 bucks and I was like, damn, but I was I just slipped my mind. So while I was there last night, I saw it.

So I checked the price. It was 35. I was like, fuck, man. But I have them all except for one of them, I think. I don't know, one of the middle ones. The steel books, man. And I also saw that coming to America is on a 4K

steel book and that's my favorite well yeah that's probably my favorite Eddie Murphy movie I love that one I mean nothing against all the other ones but I love coming to America since we're doing a Blu-ray update

X Returns edition I got I bought that one but I got to go pick it up and sitting at my local best buy but I did get in the mail I bought that Golden Child and what was the other one? Trading places with the new one with the slip covers i didn't even know those were out yet but yeah all right

speaking of uh stuff that's coming out um are you fan that movie goodberger uh i'm not a fan of it i don't hate it i didn't i didn't watch it that much at that time but uh it's okay that's finally coming out on bulray uh shout out to uh cool duder on youtube shansee Phillips, he posted a picture of it. I'm sure he's going to get it before all of us, but he just posted a picture and wrote finally under it. I love Good Burger. I loved it on all the, was it, all that.

That was funny, those little skits that they did. And then when the movie came out, me and my daughter went and saw it, and I love it. I can watch that movie over and over and over again. I was just looking at the DVD the other day. That was weird, though. The other day when I was there with my wife,

I was looking at it I want a good burger I thought I need to come out on Blu-ray and the very next day I saw Sean's post and I was like

oh yeah so I'm gonna I'm getting as soon as that comes out but the last thing I bought Target has been doing

the steel books so I saw Batman Begins in there I already have it just the normal one but I saw the steel book and seven bucks

all right give it to me I saw the Matrix. I had it in my hand. But I have like two copies of that movie already. Just the regular single one. And then I think it was last year during the sales, the three-pack one. So I got that as well.

You know, when the movie drops, they're going to come out with all new ones again. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. So I might just wait. Is it on 4K yet? Do you know? I think so. I think you can get all three of them on 4K. So we got what, two more movies coming or one?

One. I can't remember. I think they're planning two, but they filmed one so far. Okay. Which, yeah, might as well talk about it. We talked about it on the main show at the horror returns. Warner Brothers putting their entire 2021 slate on HBO Max. What's your thoughts?

Um, good. Uh, shout out to brother Lance. I have, I have HBO Max, but the, uh, the one is, uh, that I want to see on the movie screen, but I don't know. I doubt it. This will all be over with, but I always think this isn't going on for a few years. But, um, uh, Godzilla versus Kong or whatever. Yeah. No, that, it's not Godzilla versus Kong.

It's King Kong versus Godzilla. I'm not a fucking Whingard bastard. But I'll still see it. I mean, I'm a huge fan of a monster movie, so I'm all about it. I like, I didn't care for the last two Godzilla films, but Kong Skull Island was badass.

So I have hopes, high hopes that it's going to be good. But as far as everything else, are they dropping them all at once? No, they got, they got a release schedule. You can look it up online. I know for for us,

action returns and stream, stream fiends. We're going to be busy. Yeah. I know the first big movie to drop. Well, of course, Wonder Woman drops Christmas Day on HBO Max, but in 2021,

the first big movie, I believe, is a couple weeks in the January, and that's the new R-rated Mortal Kombat. Oh, was the, was the first one PG? I think so. I like that. I never saw the, well, the second one was, yeah.

It was what it was. I didn't see that one with Michael Jai White, did you? Oh, the web series? I guess. I don't know. I have the three-pack, and I never watched it yet. I know that's right. I caught some of them, but I didn't really watch them.

I'm excited. They said we were going to get video game accurate fatalities. And I think the main actor, not Eco UAs, but the other guy from, what's the movie we reviewed? Which one? The one with White Boy Bob. And they were protecting the little girl. The one on Netflix, not headshot. Oh, fuck.

the manhunt? No. What was it? Damn, this is going to drive me crazy. Was it the night comes for us? Yeah, that one, the main dude in there. I think he's playing a sub-zero. Okay.

Is it going to be with all these new characters from Mortal Kombat 100 or whatever, or is it going to be the first set of characters? Do you know? As far as I know, we're getting like the original ones. Okay.

Because I mean, I want sub-zero. I want Scorpion and all those guys. Don't give me any of these new ones. Build up to that. Hopefully this film will be awesome. What they need to do is do another street fighter because that first one gave it no justice. Yeah, I think depending on how if this one is good, I think we'll get a street fighter. So I got IMDB.

We're going to have Sonia Blade, Scorpion, Radin, Luke Kang, Sub Zero, Cano, Shangsun, Jax, Malina, Kabal, Kung Lao, and I think that's it so far. Who's Shang-sung? Do you know what it's say? Chin Han. Let me click on his. I don't know who that is. He.

Oh, he was at. guy. When you see his face, he's like that guy. I've seen him in a bunch of movies. Okay. I mean, that's the movie we're talking about tonight. There's a bunch of that guys. Oh, yeah.

Definitely. The 80s movies were the best with all that guys. Yep. And the movie you were talking about is 1987's lethal weapon. Gun! If these two cops can stand each other

Oh, I keep getting into trouble around you The bad guys don't stand the chance You ever met anybody you didn't you Well, I haven't killed you yet Mel Gibson, Danny Glover We better register you as a lethal weapon Lethal weapon, rated R Starts Friday

Let's go over to Google first because Google usually gives a better synopsis. Following the death of his wife, Los Angeles Police Detective Martin Riggs becomes reckless and suicidal. When he is reassigned and partnered with Roger Mertal, Riggs immediately clashes with the older officer. Together, they uncover a massive drug trafficking ring

as they encounter increasingly dangerous situations. Riggs and Mertau begin to form a bond Riggs' volatile behavior might just help them apprehend the criminals if it doesn't kill them both. IMDB, usually a shorter one, two newly paired cops are complete opposites but must put aside their differences in order to catch a gang of drug smugglers. Yeah, straight to the point. Let's see, this was directed by Richard Donner, producer. by Richard DeJonner and Joel Silva written by Shane Black,

which will probably, as we do more movies, action movies, we'll hear Shane Black's name come up. Is that the predator guy? From the first one? Yeah. With the glasses. Yeah. Didn't he direct

that last Predator one? Yeah, that's probably why. I think he's better as a writer than the director. The Predator. Yeah. Well, we'll get to that one day. He also did some of the, wrote some of the TV series, which I've never seen.

Geez, he did Last Action Hero? Okay, I love that film. I need to do that at some point, but yeah, Leithel Weak. He's done, Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapons, Tove, the Monster Squad, The Last Boy Scouts, like you said, Action Hero, The Long Kiss Good Night. he's done some he's written some pretty good ones see this star is Mel Gibson Danny Glover

Gary Busey before Gary Bucce was Gary Bucy today Mitchell Ryan the always great Tom Atkins Darling Love Jackie Swanson Tracy Wolfe Ebony Smith Steve Khan

Mary Ellen Trainor rest in peace Edel Ross and a bunch of other people. Action Returns Hall of Fame or Al Leong is in this. All right, Nez. Leitha Weapon, 1987. What did you think? I love this one.

My favorite out of the four, I saw this, it was during its first run. I don't think I saw it right right when it came out. A buddy of mine, his dad took us to see it. So I was, one of my, his dad since passed. And it was always one of, it held a special place in my heart because he took us to get something to eat. And they go, hey, let's go to the movies.

All right. So we went and saw this at the theater around a corner from my house. So it always makes. me think of my buddy's dad. His name was Richard, but everyone called him chubby. So, I mean, that's all I knew him as. So, but it was cool. And watching the, rewatching this today, I just remember sitting there laughing and enjoying this film. I had no idea what it was about. My buddy was like, dude, it's good, man. You should go see it with us. I was all right, because they had seen it already. And he wanted to see it again. So I was, all right, cool,

let's go and man this movie was awesome uh this is already uh after a road warrior and all that so uh of course i knew who mel gibson was danny glover was this before uh color purple and all that i want to say color purple came up after but let me double check uh yeah because i know i thought it was no color color purple was 85 okay because uh I remember seeing him in other than the color purple. I know I'd seen him in some other things. He was an ice man. I need to watch that one again.

Have you seen that one? A long time ago. Yeah, I always liked that film. I mean, it was cool for what it was. But Danny Glover was awesome. I met him when I was in high school. his or he was friends with my art teacher and it was just

he brought him in one time just to talk about a little bit about his career and some other stuff I don't remember but what I do remember the most is while he was sitting up in front of the class my art teacher had a bunch of like four TV stacked on top of each other and lethal weapon was playing in the background

so I mean the first question everyone asked was who was his daughter Tracy Wolf they were like where is she going to because he he broke the news to us that there was going to be

a part two and we were like what? We all flipped out I mean because there was no internet or nothing so that was just we heard it from

Murta himself and where I was like oh man I was so juiced for the second one so that was really cool I mean and this movie always reminds me of that

so but this movie was awesome I mean everything was in it the comedy was there the action and I liked the story of what was going on in this one

and just teaming up two guys that were from different sides of the tracks and it was cool Murta is the old old school Cobb Riggs is the new school and it was just

it was a good combination for both of them. Had no idea they were going to make three more films with this series and there's still talk of a fifth I don't know how that's going to work. We did talk about it if you guys listened to our Fat Man episode,

but I don't know. But we'll see. If they do it, of course I'm going to watch it. But I don't know. At this point, I think they are too old for this shit. But we'll see.

But Leitha Webbett is badass. Did you see this in the theater? No, this was HBO cable for me. Yeah. I love this movie. It's tied from my, out of the series, it's tied with another one. And we'll get to that one here in a little bit. But yeah, I love it.

I love the, just how different these characters are and they're partnered up. And they got to, they got to work together. And I just love that whole situation and the back and forth between them. You know, I think that kind of goes with Shane Black who wrote this. I think he writes this kind of stuff pretty good because I'm looking through his filmography. He did the nice guys with what's his name, Brian Goslin and Russell Crow. And he did Kiss Kiss Kiss MacBang or Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. And I think he, when you got guys paired up in these like kind of buddy cop situations,

I think he writes good dialogue for them because there was a lot of stuff that I thought was funny in here. The action was amazing. Um, and Mel Gibson, you know, all the other stuff put to the side, like we said in Batman, as far as acting, he, I fully believed he was just this guy that was just on the edge and just, you didn't know if he was going to kill himself or whatever, because you got a lot of, you got a couple scenes in there where, you know, like one of the times, uh, first times were really introduced to him, you know, he's sitting in his, uh, his trailer or whatever and he's got a gun which he's got a specific bullet he explains it later why he has a special bullet and that whole scene you you just really feel it through his acting and

yeah i love it love lethal weapon gary busy too yeah it's just kind of it's kind of crazy seeing him then and then seeing him now because i just i've been rewatching episodes of impractical jokers. And every time he shows up on there, he is like, Gary, I'm like, that's Gary Bucie now. And like, he, he knows it himself because he shows up on these, these movies and TV shows all crazy. But it's just, it's wild just seeing him like back then how different he is now.

Did he have like a motorcycle accident or something? Is that what he hit his head and went nuts? I don't know. I think it's in the jeans or something because his son is starting to act kind of a little goofy now. Hmm. I don't know. Wasn't he in a stranger things? I'm not thinking of someone else.

The son? Yeah. Yeah, he's in there. Okay. But, yeah, he was awesome in this. You watch him in this. a lot of you younger listeners that are introduced to Gary Busey

you're introduced to the crazy wild Gary Bucy this was the more straightforward actor guy and then I want to say I heard he got into an accident and that's maybe the beginning

I could be wrong but he was good in this he was Mr. Joshua I thought he was just an awesome character it was weird to see him in this role because I was first introduced to Gary Busey.

Was it the Buddy Holly story? I think he, that was in the 80s, I believe. Let me see. Yeah, I'm looking this up. It doesn't say necessarily, but it said when he was on Celebrity Rehab, the therapist suspected that Bucie had brain injury. that had a greater effect on him than he realized. So I think might have had an accident.

Yeah. The Buddy Holly story was the first thing that I had seen him in. I'm a fan of Buddy Holly. And I was in 78. And then I really remember him as Dell in DC Cab. And that came out in 83. He was my favorite character in that. And he was all wild and crazy.

And then he came. He was Uncle Red and Silver Bullet. And then he was just. just still all fat and crazy. And then when lethal weapon came around, I was like, there was a, yeah, Gary Busey's in this. He's the bad guy. I was like, okay. And I was expecting the fat, goofy

Gary Bucy, but no, it was this in shape, straightforward killer, mercenary. And I was like, well, this is Gary Bucy. I mean, even watching it now, I mean, watching it today. It's

Gary Bucy, because that jaw and everything, but he's, he's not goofy or acting weird or anything. I don't know, but he was a good bad guy. It was kind of like, he's a bad guy, really? But he pulled it off. I thought he was better than the guy that was running things, to be honest. Yeah, I didn't like that guy at all.

Well, he was, they just called him the general, Mitch Ryan. Yeah, I just, I don't know. I just, he wasn't menacing. and I just, I don't know, I felt like that scene when he holds the lighter up to Mr. Joshua's arm, Gary Busey. Yeah. I was like, oh, this guy is for real. But the other guy, no, I don't, even when we get to his death scene,

he kind of sounded like a bitch, a little bit. He was that dumbass doctor in Halloween 6. the Cursel Michael Myers He was the one that was Running the Colter or whatever But yeah I mean that's all I see him as Every time I see him in a movie But I kind of forgot that he was the bad guy in this

Because I mean like he didn't really stand out that much He was running the show and everything But I mean the yeah the main bad guy should have been Gary Busey Mr. Joshua So yeah Yeah, because you don't remember the main guy, but you remember Al Leon, and he's only in the movie for like five minutes. Yeah. And also remember Dar Robinson.

He was a stunt man in this. They show him towards the end, do a stunt. It was a little stunt gadget that he actually invented to do when he falls from the rafters hanging by his leg. he passed 86 it was the movie he was filming the movie

after this one the movie was called Million Dollar Mystery and from what I understand they were doing like the main stunt in it and he accidentally just

I guess something happened and he drove off the cliff and he died and I remember hearing that and then I didn't realize how many movies I had seen him do stunts in.

So I was like, damn. So it, because I remember that. I mean, that was the big thing when I, it was like on entertainment tonight or something. When they were talking about him passing because they kept saying, they kept, they were just showing lethal weapon, uh,

the whole time. So, but, uh, it was cool. I mean, I liked, uh,

his little stunts. And if you go to his IMDB, you can see a lot of these good films, uh, that he had done. So I think they all had some good things to say about him after he had passed and how good how professional he was when it was doing stunts. And he was, I don't think he was the main stunt guy, but he was one of them that was helping choreograph all the stunts for this film. So I thought that was pretty cool.

But with this one, we won't get to that part. the film starts out with you see this girl I thought she was drunk at first I'm sure she was drunk as well but it's just the hot little blonde she's just being all stupid and then like

blouse open tits hanging out and snorts a couple lines and then walks over to the balcony and looks over and she's like all tripping out and then she crawls up onto the balcony and then just drunk

she didn't see slip or fall. She just fucking just walked off or leaned forward and fell. I like this stunt. I thought it was really cool. Especially I like the camera work how obviously they had the camera

on something and they just kind of brought it down so it looked like it was falling but when I don't think this was a stunt person. It was probably just a heavy dummy to hit that car just crushed in the top. I never really paid attention much but looking at this now, watching it today,

the back of her head would have blew open. I mean, she was on the top floor of that building. She was all perfect unscratched laying there. Yeah, and realistically, when she hit that car, she should have just splattered everywhere. And for those that do not think this is a Christmas movie, the second this movie comes on is a Christmas song. Yeah, I mean, there was nothing but Christmas stuff.

in this. I was really looking in the background a lot of stuff. Other than there was a one of the scenes, when we're introduced to Martin Riggs takes place at a Christmas tree lot. There's a guy painting Christmas pictures on glasses at some place. When you go to the end of the scene, when you see Mel Gibson running down the road, or not Mel Gibson, yeah, Mel Gibson running down the street.

I don't know if I think they were on Hollywood Boulevard. or something. You see all the Christmas decorations. And even at the Murtaugh house, they had a Christmas tree. And then Mr. Joshua even says, it's goddamn Christmas. I mean, of course this is a Christmas movie. I mean, I understand. I mean, Christmas movies are Christmas Carol and Christmas story and all that. Yes, those are Christmas films.

But this took place during the holiday season. So, I mean, even, you know, I mean, really. Biggs even said it. It goes when they was dealing with that guy about to jump off the top of that building. This is the silly season and everyone's going crazy. So, but after, yeah, she's dead and then we're introduced to Danny Glover's character, Roger Murtaugh, he just turned 50. That made me think, what was I? What was I? What? 16 when this came out? And I'm like, shit, I'm going to be 50 next year. And my body feels all beat up from work. and all that, but yeah, I got the gray hair.

I blame my daughter for all that. But I don't know, man. When I see Danny Glover, especially here, I mean, he's all nice and young, but then I just watched him on Blackish. He was Dre's uncle, I believe. He's all hell old, and I was looking at him. I was like, they can't do another lethal weapon five. I had so many problems with this scene.

If it was me, no way is my entire family busting in the bathroom while I'm in the tub. That is not happening. Exactly. And it didn't even look like there was bubbles in there. No, you can see he tries to get like a little washrag and cover up. Yeah. I mean, first of all, the door is locked. And no one's coming in, even if they did happen to Jimmy the lock.

I'm screaming, get the hell out. Yeah. But, uh. And I have a problem with. the beard. I'm like, you're rocking suits and stuff and you're going to work with your beard looking like that.

Yeah. I don't even know if it was real. I mean, it probably, it looked too all janky and everything. Yeah, you're supposed to be a police sergeant and you're wearing suits to the office every day. And his beard, because when his head's

leaning back, I mean, I can't grow a beard. If I try, it's just all patchy. It looks dumb. It looked all rugged under his neck so but and then the daughter tells him oh your beard's getting gray it didn't just become gray on his

50th birthday I don't know these are little nitpicks that I just now watching but yeah I think you're right I think they they they put on a beard yeah there was I might seen this movie enough to know what's happening but yeah

I just was looking at the background stuff and and the nitpicks of this and that. I mean, there was plenty in this, but you just got to look over it. But enjoy it for what it was. So we see, yeah, so we're introduced to him, and he's like, okay, I'm going to go to work.

Then we're introduced to Martin Riggs. Which version did you watch? The regular one, or the director's cut, or whatever it's called? I did not break out my movies. for this one. I watched it off HBO Mac.

So whatever version was on there. Okay. I can't remember what scene was first. I mean, I know on the director's cut, there's a,

no, I think it was after. I don't know, but I'll just tell you the scene really quick. There's a scene that was cut. But if you have the director's cut that's on DVD only,

there's a scene where Riggs is going to work and he gets a call. Hey, there's a sniper at this school. he's just picking off kids so he goes over the over to the school he gets there and he's

well what's happening what's going on who is this guy we don't know just some guy is just he's up in this in this house and he's just picking off the kids because the house looks right over a school yard and they said he's just picking kids off he goes was there a reason why he's doing it

and then like is he picking certain ones or is he just picking random is he just picking random kids so he walks out there he kind of looks around he sees where the guy's at So he takes his jacket off, gets his pistol. I'm not a gun guy, but from what I'm honest, I think it was a Beretta, they said. Yeah.

He walks out there and the guy, he's just looking, waiting to see the shooter. And then the shooter starts shooting. And he just takes aim and just unloads the whole clip on him. The sniper is hiding. He's like got some kind of like sheet metal. Obviously he was, might have been aluminum or something. Bullets went right through it. And he ended up killing the sniper.

And then he just kind of, all right, I'm out of here. I can see why they cut that scene. But, yeah, I mean, a sniper killing children. Like, I guess, yeah, I see why they were like, maybe we should introduce him in a different way. Yeah, because when we're first in the regular cut, it's, we, he wakes up naked. in his trailer. See Riggs in all his glory from the backside. At least there was no lizards on his butt.

But, man, I don't know, man. I mean, when I used to smoke, I did not wake up in the morning and have a cigarette in my mouth. I'm like, oh. You ain't never smoked a cigarette and drank a beer while you're taking a piss immediately after waking up? No. That's another thing, too, another nitpick.

He's sitting there taking a piss, and then as he's pissing, take the big old swing of beer. I've never done that. I mean, I always put my beer down and then go off walking the bushes and then come back. But I can't even just stand there and talk with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth when I was a smoker. Don't smoke, boys and girls. It's not good for you. But because I remember sitting there being trying to be cool with a cigarette in my mouth. But then the smoke is still coming, burning off.

going right in my eyes. So I never thought that was cool. And I didn't understand how people could do it. Especially my buddy when we were playing pool. He had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. I'm like, dude, how can you see the smoke's in your eyes? Another nitpick. So he gets all dressed up and then he heads to work.

I think it was after this scene is when they added that sniper scene. We... Fuck what happened? Oh, the tree lot scene. Yeah, no, we, I think it was before that. Murtaugh goes downstairs, talks to his wife and everything. She's telling him that somebody gave him a, Michael Huntsacker, called him, want to talk to him, and he kind of just remembers on.

She goes, well, who is he? Oh, it was somebody from the war. So, whatever, she doesn't think nothing of it. Yeah, then we get to. Did you feel like they said Michael Hunsacker a lot? this movie. Yeah. It was like over and over and over.

It was like, I get it. Yeah. Michael Hans Sacker. Could have just said Michael or Mike or something after that. I mean, once you kind of got, knew who they were talking about. And I think this is probably my favorite scene in the whole film. We get to Riggs in a Christmas tree locked with three other dudes. One of the guys, the guy in the red shirt with the long hair, the rugged looking one.

That is, um, for you red hot, hot, Chili Peppers fans. That's Anthony Kedis, the singer. That's his dad in this scene. Was that his real hair? Because I just kept looking at his hair. Like, I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know. They did look like he was losing it and it was long in the back. But it looked like a big or not or something on the side. I mean, I have long hair around, but I don't have big knots on the side. I mean, maybe when I wake up in the morning. but if I'm out in public, no, I at least fix myself up a little bit.

So they're doing a drug deal. This is the 80s, everyone, where cocaine was king. So they had, how much do you say was there? Because it was like $100,000 worth, but I don't,

I was never a Coke head or anything. It didn't look like it was $100,000 worth. I've seen. seen, I've never seen that much. I mean, I've seen little, little bags of my friends, but I'm just, never took partake in any of that stuff. Uh, weed and beer was all, uh, weed in 40s at that point. Yeah. Well, it, don't, don't ask me how I know, but it didn't look like a hundred thousand. It looked like some, some upcharge going on. Well, that's how they rolled in the late 80s, but, anyway, so he's, they're dealing with

And he goes, all right, yeah, he's, I guess I always go back to deep cover when they were telling him. Yeah, man, you've got to, if you got to, or even in training day, he goes, I mean, you got to either take that hit or take that snort or whatever to convince to these guys you're dealing with drugs that you're legit. Because it looked like he was getting ready to snort it, but he just stuck it all in his mouth. And like, oh, it tastes good. And then they were like, well, how much? He goes, 100. He goes, oh, is that all? And then he starts pulling out 20s and tens, counting out 100.

And then he's doing. And then they stop him, like, $100,000, $100,000. Oh, well, I can't afford that on my salary. Here, let me tell you what. I'm going to take it all off your hands for free. And you guys can go to jail. And he says down his badge and they look at it and they're all laughing. But first they're kind of like, oh, fuck.

And then they go, one of them picks up the badge and goes, this badge ain't real. And you ain't real. and then they kind of like started laughing around. But then, did they pull their guns on him before he pulled his out? Or they were about to, right? He pulled his out and the one guy on the truck, the back of the truck came out with a shotgun.

Oh, that's right. Because when he pulled his gun out and he goes, that's a real badge, I'm a real cop, and this is a real fucking gun. And then he's pointing it at him. And then one of the guys, the main guy he was dealing with kind of looks up behind him because Riggs is leaning against a truck.

And then he, fucking, you hear that guy pumped the shotgun, I assume, because he made noise. And then he falls back around and unless that guy has it. And he falls down. He turns around. I always liked his roles when he was firing. He was firing and rolling at the same time. So I always thought that was really sweet. Took out two of the main guy.

No, the main guy got shot with the shotgun. Yeah, his own guy shot him. Yeah, because Riggs jumped down. That guy took a shot and took out the main dude. He went down. That's when Riggs did the roll and shot that other dude. And then the other guy took off. And then he killed the guy with the shotgun in the truck.

And then he kind of jumps up. It was a big sting operation because all these other cops come zooming in. And they're like, what's going on? He goes, there's a guy in here with a red shirt and long hair. And they're, okay. Nitpick. It's a tree lot. And there's always a fence.

around it. And especially in the city. These tree lots aren't that big. And let's, they could easily just, all right, let's guard each side. There's four sides of this,

of his lot. And if he comes out, we'll get him. But now he has to go, walk through the trees, and then he misses him because that guy comes up and grabs him,

takes his gun from him, points a gun in his head, and go, all right, let me get out of here. I'm going to kill him. This is the part of the love of the most. because Riggs is just like, oh, he goes, shoot me, shoot me.

And he goes, hey, shoot him. Hey, shoot him. Somebody shoot this brick. And everybody's, all the cops are like, drop the gun. He's like, shoot me. That's what I loved about his character. Because he was that,

that hardcore. Like, in reality, yeah, he probably wanted them to take the shot, but he wanted to show them that he was not scared. It kind of seemed like it was an act, because after when Riggs and that guy are kind of going back and forth,

he's going to shoot me, shoot me, shoot me. And does he like headbut him? I think he like back, uses the back of his head and then does a little move to get the gun. And he's just like mumbling, like, all in his face because he's so angry. He wants to shoot him.

And then everybody has to calm him down. And I like that scene after where he has to just kind of take a step to the side and just calm himself down, bring himself back. Yeah, I mean, that's when you kind of see that he is human and he was a little scared, but he was trying to do what he had to do to get the job done. Because, yeah, he was, you could see that he had that, like that sign relief, but he was still the adrenaline and everything. And he could see that scared look in his face.

So I thought that was pretty sweet. we go back to his trailer, just on the beach somewhere. And this part, this part was always tough to watch. I remember the first time I had seen it, I was like, I was just a teenager.

And yeah, I was sad then, but for me personally now, it's tough. I mean, I watch it every time and tears come out of my eyes because I felt his pain in this.

Yes, it's a movie, but I don't own any guns, but I felt that pain of him because he's looking at a picture, wedding pictures of him and his wife, and we find out that his wife died in a car wreck. So, but he's just looking at it and he's crying, and you can see that he's holding his gun, and then he kind of takes the clip out and everything, digs in his pocket, and he pulls out this little hollow tip bullet, and he sticks it in. And then he just, he's looking down the barrel. And you could just see, he's probably drunk as well, but you could just see the, the sadness of the loss of his wife.

And then just always being depressed. And, oh, fuck. I put myself in that situation. I mean, not to bring the show down, but after. After my son passed I felt like that many many times Especially now during the holidays I try to be as happy as I can for my family and my grandsons

But it still it still hurts My son passed in December And it's just tough But this scene just It gets me every single time I watch it. I was thinking should I fast forward it,

but I didn't. Because I like this scene. It is. It's really powerful on how you can see of why people are thinking that he's crazy. And you can see

because the psychiatrist lady, she's saying there's something wrong with him. There's something eaten away at him. It was Mary Ellen trainer. Dr. Stephanie Woods. And he's just looking at the down the barrel. He sticks it under his chin. He sticks it in his mouth.

Or first he sticks it to his forehead and he just, he can't do it. And then he just puts his gun down and he's just crying and he picks up the picture. And he says he misses his wife. And fuck, man. If that, that wasn't me. If that wasn't me, I don't know. It was just, I put myself in that situation.

I picture myself during this scene. I mean, I'm sorry to get this way, but it's just that that's how I feel every time I watch that scene. And like I said, I always want to fast forward it, but I just, I want to see that. I mean, because it hurts, and yes, Riggs is a made-up character, but I've had to listen to other people that talk about this scene, other podcasts, and not all of them, but there is some guys that said they have been in that. situation before. So it was just like, oh, fuck. But then, I mean, I like what he says at the end. He's like, he kind of snaps out of it.

And shit, I've snapped out of it many, many times. And he was just like, takes a deep breath and wipes his eyes. And then he goes, well, he looks at the picture. He goes, well, I'll see you later. Well, I'll see you much later. So that was good. And I mean, I mean, again. that's how I felt and watching this scene.

It hurts and I tear up. But, I mean, it's how some people feel, especially during the holidays. Yeah. And these movies, movies are, this is why certain movies are special to, you know, certain people because they, they can make you feel things emotionally, you know, just trigger you whether it be something sad that has. happen in your life or something happy. You know, they, they bring back these memories. And that's, that's, that's why we love these movies so much. Yeah, I mean, like I said earlier, I mean, a happy moment of me watching this film is

sitting there with my buddy and his dad. But then when it gets to this scene, it just, it goes to, to me missing my son. And, uh, but I, I do like how he snaps out of it because I, I've been that in that situation. I've It's tough I mean I've thought of suicide many many times Never did it But I always come to a line in this film

Which we'll get to in a minute And uh well I'm I'll just talk about it now I mean there's a scene in it when Murtaugh is talking to Riggs And Riggs is like you do want to kill yourself don't you And he goes here and he goes one you go don't nibble on the barrel pull the trigger but before all that scene he's like I think

every day I think of killing myself blowing my brains out he goes but he goes there's just one thing you're probably going to laugh and he goes the reason he doesn't do it is doing the job he can't do it

he said he thinks he goes I have to think of something every single day of not why I shouldn't do it And for a while, that's how I was. I had to think of why I can't do it. It's, this is my opinion. That would have been an easy way out for me to stop my pain.

But it would cause more pain to my family with me. They've been through enough. They don't want to have to, I would feel bad if they would have to, go through that again of me just I couldn't handle it and I ended myself but all that stuff went through my head

and I I'll never be the same but I'm not I don't think that way anymore I mean it pops in my head every now but not as bad as before in the beginning it was rough and tough I mean

doctors just wanted to give me pills To hear, take these, take these. They'll make you feel better. I didn't want to. I wanted to do it my way. And my way was not saying it's going to work for everyone, but my way helped me. Being spiritual and Native American, I went to ceremony and all that, and that helped me a lot. I need to do that again.

I haven't gone in a while. But I helped myself get through it. My friends help me get through it. Brian here helps me through it. recording episodes for you guys. I always tell this to everyone. This is the main reason I started podcasting was to get my mind

off of the depression how I feel. I mean, especially now. But I'm glad we're doing this. Yes, I do East Society. Yes, I do McNez, but doing the stuff with Brian every week, especially during this month, or even last month, in the month before.

But that was a lot all in October, every single day, everybody. But I was the one that got things confused. I thought we were doing a bunch for December. Oh, no, man. Once a year is enough. I can't do that. But, I mean, Brian, dude, thank you so much. I mean, you've helped me a lot with keeping myself on the straight and narrow.

I mean, when we do this, when we do action, when we do. Stream fiends and everything else. I mean, that helps me. And we spoke and how vice versa, how this, you help me out. And I look forward to doing this with you. I look forward to every Saturday with the guys, Phil and Lance. You know, that's been my Saturday for over four years now. And it's something that I didn't have in the past.

I didn't have things to look forward to. But now knowing I'm going to be recording with you, as many, you know me, I'm down to record as many shows as you want. And I look forward to that. I look forward to every Saturday with the guys. And, yeah, this is, this is our therapy. Yeah, this is, this is what helps us. This is what gets our mind away from everything for a while. I mean, and that's what I love.

I mean, I'm sorry that went into this, but this, that scene in this movie just, It always triggers me. And talking about it helps me. Not keeping it all bunched in and balded. But everyone's different. I mean, if any of you feel that way and you feel the need to talk to someone or just get it out, you can definitely get a hold of me. I mean, you don't know me. I don't know you.

But I can listen to you. I can help you. That was what a lot of my friends did for me. They listened to me. They always said, I don't know how you feel. I don't have no idea, but I can listen. And that's other than movies and podcasting, friends listening to me help me so much. I mean, a big shout out to my girl, Sarah.

I love you, babe. Thank you so much. Bob, her as well. Mike, Brian here, everyone else. everyone has helped me through all of this as well as my family too my wife and my kids

and my grandsons are really really keeping me on the straight and narrow just seeing their smiling little faces hearing them laugh that's what shout out to them they look like super fun

those are just nice when they're not crying in being bad but I mean they they they we look at them both of us and just can't believe we're grandparents. I still feel young, but then when I get up,

the whole time I feel old. But anyway, enough of all that. Again, reach out to me if you need to. This is after this scene is when we finally get the two meet. Murtaugh finally gets, he's getting, still trying to work on the case of Huntsacker because he does find out who it is, because he goes to the crime scene, sees that there's a hooker there, Dixie,

she kind of knows some stuff. But they say, you're good, just we took your statement, go home. But when Murtaff finds out exactly who it is, he ends up calling his wife and saying, hey, can you give me the number to a Huntsacker? So he goes back to the office, and this is when Murtawn Riggs meet.

Riggs is just coming in. He's all rugged looking, trucker hat and all that. I can never remember this black gentleman's name. He's been in diehard. The one from colors. Yeah, him. That was his name in colors. I was trying to remember.

I thought he was going to start popping. But he's in everything. He was one of the FBI guys in the helicopter in Die Hard. But yeah, he's one of those guys that pops up and everything. He's one of those guys. So he's telling him, yeah, you're going to break in a new partner. And he's like, who? And he goes, yeah.

And he goes, okay. So while Murtaugh is talking to the other officer, he's eyeing Riggs. And then Riggs pulls out his gun and starts messing with it. And then Mertag goes, gun, and goes running at him. And Riggs immediately just holds it like he's ready to shoot looking around. Murtaugh rushes him Riggs grabs him and kind of does a little flip And then he's pointing the gun at him

And they go hey Raj Meet your new partner And he's like I'm too old for this shit That's what I liked that line Because they use it in all the movies So I thought that was pretty cool But they're walking and talking

And trying to figure out Who each other is and all that I did like this scene Because that's when you were telling me Yeah so you do all the martial arts and uh and jiu jitsu and he's like yeah and he goes well maybe we should uh register you as a lethal weapon and all that shit so they're basically coming down to look you don't want to work with me i don't want to work with you but we have to so let's let's just try to be cool

uh and everything because uh because then when roger gets in the car he's like god hates me and race goes hate him back it helps me and then blow smoke out of his out of his nose Um, where'd they go from here? I don't remember. They, what did they go? They didn't go to, where did they go?

They didn't go to the house yet. No, not yet. They, let me see, I'm on Wikipedia. They didn't go to the house. They didn't go to the guy on the roof yet. What the fuck did they go?

Yeah, I mean, they, they left and then I think they were just driving and talking and then they got the call that there was a jumper so they went to that I think I'm gonna go with that

well I mean with all that they do find out no I think you know what I think during this scene we get the scene at the club Yeah. What's his name from Red He?

Oh, Victor. Yeah. Victor Rasta. Yeah. And he was also in the Hidden. Yeah. He was one of those dudes. Yeah.

He's a customer wanting to buy some stuff. And that's when you get introduced to Mr. Joshua and the hell is that guy. and the one we talked about. Captain, no, not Captain. The General? Yeah, that guy. Edo Ross is the dude, yeah. They never said his name, but his name is Mendez in this.

Edel Ross is just one of those guys that's, hey, that's that guy. He was big in the 80s. Is he still alive? I mean. Yeah, he's still alive. He's still active? Yeah, he's still out there doing it. He's got some stuff from pre-production.

So good for him. He's still doing it. We get this whole transaction that I think they were discussing prices, and I didn't think he liked the price, and then he was kind of talking shit, and this is where you get the scene where they kind of, Ask, he has a lighter and he takes it out. Then they grab a couple men, grab him, hold his arm, and then tell him to,

don't move. And then they like the lighter. And Mr. Joshua just holds his arm over the flame. I just assumed that was just to show them that they weren't messing around. Because then he does tell him, goes, man, you guys are fucking crazy. You guys are out there. But then he goes, you guys, you're using mercenaries? And he goes, yeah, my associates are.

are loyal to me. So I assume he was just buying a big bulk of what they kept calling it, merchandise or something. I mean, they didn't really call it heroin or anything,

but that's the bottom line or what they were selling. So he was, all right, well, we'll meet you whenever, whenever. And he was like,

all right, so he's out of here. So we're introduced to all the main bad guys, the general, Mr. Joshua, and then all the other dudes. I don't know what

it was in the 80s, all the bad guys, 80s and it rolled into the 90s. All the bad guys had long hair. So, yeah. So then we're back in the car with Mertan Riggs. They get the call the jumper and then they go over there. So they get there and they say, well, where's the, I don't know, not negotiator, but the psychiatrist or whatever. They're supposed to come help, try to talk that guy down.

And they go, oh, he's stuck in traffic. And then Riggs, well, I got training. I can do it. And then Mertal's like, just get him down. Don't do anything, anything else. He's like, all right. So he goes up there and now he starts talking to him. And that guy is just, who are you?

He goes, get out of here and all this. He goes, I just want to talk to you. So he climbs over. Here, I'm going to come out there. And he goes, no, no, what are you doing? I haven't done anything wrong. He goes, I know that. But come on, let's just talk.

And he's going to give him a cigarette. And that guy's like, you better, don't touch me. and then Riggs is like just, come on, dude, my bosses are down here. I mean, I got to look good. So, he goes, here, let's smoke. Maybe we'll die of cancer. So as he hands him the cigarette, he's getting ready to give him a lighter. He grabs his handcuffs, handcuffs him, and then hangs up, cuffs himself.

And then he's like, all right, he goes, come on, let's go. And he goes, no, I'm going to jump. And he goes, well, if you jump, you're going to take me with you. And that's going to make you a murder. And he's like, no, he goes, you're crazy. And then he goes, I'm going to jump. And there's one to Riggs. You want to jump?

Do you want to? Well, let's do it together. All right. The first time I saw this part, I was like, what? Really? And I had no idea. I was just so at the edge of my seat watching this. And then they're like, yeah, come on.

Let's do it together. And then they step off. Like, what if that guy didn't step off? And Riggs just swung. And then they both fell. but they just both took a step off. I was like, what the fuck? Because they show them falling.

And shout out to the two stuntmen that did this stunt. They're falling and falling, and you're like, what the fuck? You see Murtau looking up like, oh, no. And then as the camera goes down and then, poof, they land on one of those big old airbags. Okay, nitpick. That guy is going to jump off. He's looking, obviously looking down. He can see them.

Why didn't he walk to the other side to the main? Because they were on like on a side street and the main street. It's kind of by Mike's house. He showed me where that building was. He could have just walked. He was standing basically on the corner of that building. He could have walked to his left and then jumped off onto the street. But why was he standing there looking down,

knowing that that big airbag was right there? but I don't think he was ever playing in the jump that's how I took it yeah I mean all right but but it was an awesome scene it was funny because I love when they both hit the airbag

and then when that guy's screaming ah hell man this guy's crazy and rigs it just let's do it again come on and then fucking Murtaugh just grabs him get in here and this is when he yells at him and he goes you know you

because you really want to kill yourself and this is when he hands him the gun um murta's like old school guy i don't know what kind of gun that was but it's a six shooter and uh but it's a big gun those good those those those those ones carry those big slugs so he's he's yelling at him and telling him and this is when we get that scene and he goes he goes look man every single day i think about kill myself but you're gonna laugh because i can't do it because doing the job so he's like here and he goes Don't nibble on the barrel. Pull the trigger.

So he gives him his gun. You shouldn't tempt me, man. He sticks that gun to his head. And he goes, he goes, no. He goes, put it in your mouth. He goes, the bullet might go through your ear and won't kill you. I was like, damn. And he goes, under the chin is good, too.

And he goes, yeah, yeah. And then they're looking to each other's eyes. And he starts to pull the trigger. And then rigged our, yeah, Murtaugh, like grabs it really quick before as he pulls it. And it clicks. but it hits Murtaugh's finger. And then he just kind of lets go. And he looks at him and, like, I'm hungry.

I'm going to go get something to eat. And he walks out. Murtax was like, oh, fuck. Next scene, we see him talking. Murtaugh talking to the doctor, the psychiatrist for the cops. And this is when she was telling me, because, yeah, there's something eating away at him. He goes, he's like a walking time bomb. And I don't think you want to be around him when he goes off.

Yeah. Does she not know about it? wife, because she's all like, like, there's just something, there's something on his mind. There's something, something going on with him. I'm like, his wife, as far as we know, not too long before this, had died in a car wreck. I assume not, because if anyone, she should know all this. Well, then she's horrible at her job then. Yeah, so I was like, okay.

I mean, yeah, again, anyone, she should know the whole background on everybody, because she knows all this stuff about him and on how wild and crazy he is. But he came from another department because he wasn't there, right? No. I don't even know where he was, but. So then they're driving down the road and then they're just having a talk. And Murta was like, man, he goes, I'm a dead man. I'm a dead man.

And he keeps telling him to shut up. Do they go to the house? No, no, no, no. Did they go? They. Oh, my gosh. I just watched this. I can't remember.

I'm looking on Wikipedia. And it's really short. So I think they get a lead. on Amanda Hunsacker How she died I think they find out how If she wouldn't have jumped

Somebody had put something in her drugs So she would have died anyways And I think that's when they go to the house Okay Oh yeah they go Yeah okay They go there And then

They go to Murtax after that So They go to the house They get that lead Basically they were saying And it was Amanda Huntsackers, like Pimp or whatever. So they said, well, they got a lead to go there. So they go to this house.

And they must just be super duper welcoming in there. They must be heavy traffic. Because when they roll up to the gate, some girls coming out. Like, oh, hi, go on in and make yourself at home. And they're like, all right. So they just kind of cruise up the driveway. And they get there. And I've never done shady shit like this.

But I'm pretty sure you're not. going to be cutting up coke and everything in front of this big giant window. And have two bimbos doing it for you. I mean, I know my friends were out there doing it too, and they had girls doing this and that for them. But I don't think they'd be in the open doing it all. So, but they kind of pull their guns on them. Some dude comes running out with a shotgun. Would you have shotgun or was just a pistol?

No, he had a shotgun. Yeah Martin goes in to go deal with the girls He pulls a gun on Has them out handcuffs them Uh Roger opens fires on that dude with the shotgun Hits him in the leg and he falls down

And they kind of run over to him And he goes look man see He goes look he goes one shot in the leg Now we question him So when they're like Not really paying attention That guy kind of rolls over And he's got a pistol

And then this is when Riggs just opens it up on him and just pumps a few into his chest and that guy falls into the pool but the pool has one of those pool covers uh these those are I mean shout out again to this stunt man that did this

I'm sure there was guys ready for him with air and everything to jump in in case the stunt went sideways but when that guy falls in onto that thing cameras under water everything either he can just hold his breath really good but I was sitting there like losing my breath like fuck

man, I mean, that's... I know it's the way they shot it, but... I mean, even still, that would scare me. I mean, I just... I wouldn't want to feel that falling into something, and especially falling into water. It's like a seal. So, I mean, there's, like, no way to climb out of that type of thing.

But they go diving into him, but they look at him and he's dead. I mean, he obviously died from the bullet wounds, because he took a couple to the chest. So I'm sure one of them hit his heart. but they come up and they're like, oh, fuck, now what? So he's like, well, he goes, have you ever met anyone you didn't kill?

This is what Rod said to Riggs. Well, I haven't killed you yet. And I don't know what time of the day it was, but it was dark. And, yeah, they were all wet. But Riggs just throws his clothes in the dryer at this house and while everyone's doing all the investigation. and he's watching the football game.

I'm like, all right, whatever. Another nitpick. So they kind of like, all right, man. He goes, well, let's go. Let's get out of here. And he goes, hey, I want to come to my house. So that's when Rigg is introduced to the Murtaugh family. You know, was it Trish and what are the other ones?

Michael. No, no, no, no. Trish, Rian, Nick, and what was it the little girl's name? I don't see it here. Yeah, because she's like the least important person in this series. Yeah, she's just a little girl. A little, uh, myrtle girl, but yeah, he's introduced to all them. Carrie?

Yeah. Yeah, okay. So there's another having dinner. Rianne comes down. She sees Riggs and what is she? 17 at the oldest, maybe. and she's just eyeing him, undressing him, undressing rigs with her eyes. And I like this scene.

It was funny, too, because they're sitting there. The kids, Nick and little girl are staring at her, and they see, well, all of them see, that she's staring at him. But then this scene right here when Nick starts beatbacks, beatboxing, and then the little girl starts rapid, and then they try to get their dad to do it. my name is Roger and I need to be Hajja and a hootahahara ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Hey that was probably just ad lit right there

I don't even think that was in the script but it was funny I like that but then they go to talking about the case on what they should do what's next because they're still trying to figure out why who did this to Amanda Hunsacker and why

so I think after this is when no the next day they they wake up and they said look we're going to go we're going to go talk to dixie because then that's when they go uh the dixie was the hooker that saw um amanda's jump uh from the building so yeah because because the previous night when they're on the bus they were kind of doing this thing where they were throwing out ideas and they were like yeah no that's that that's thin that's too thin but something something clicked with uh riggs that's why he shows up But he wakes him up in his bedroom. There's a cup of coffee.

I think, oh, yeah, because they go talking and then they, they're at the shooting range. Yeah. And that's when he's telling them, they're like, look, man, he goes, well, maybe, because during the investigation, they said that goes, well, I don't think she was here by herself. Other than they found that she was going to be, she would have died anyway if she didn't jump because they laced her coke with drain cleaner or something. so they said that the bed looked like there was somebody else there and then that's when they were putting two and two together

and they said well maybe Dixie was the one that was with her and then everything kind of she laced the coke and then got the hell out of there and by the time she got to the bottom of the stairs when she found out that the body

that girl jumped and then so she like just grabbed anyone and Dixie grabbed the first officer and say hey I saw the whole thing. So that was when they were trying to put two and two together. And that's when they're like, I don't know, man. That's pretty thin.

So that's when they went to go talk to Dixie. Another nitpick right here. So they get there and there's these little black kids sitting on the front playing and now you're going. You're going to bus Dixie? And then they'll say, you're going to buzz Dixie and all that. And they're like, shh. They walk out.

with glasses on. Riggs got his yellow crazy glasses. Marta's got his glasses on. They're walking up to the house. Was that them or were those two stunt guys when that house was? Oh,

those were stunt guys. Those were definitely stunt guys. Because they go. Go ahead. I can't see Danny Glover and Mel Gibson standing because they were standing pretty close to that building when it exploded. Yeah, because they walk up to the house.

And luckily, they had those glasses on. So that's the only time they wear glasses. Well, Roger wears glasses when he was reading something earlier. But anyway, so what I like about this scene was timing. If you noticed, there's an airplane flying over the house. Right when it hit the chimney of the house is when the house blew up. This is me watching all the stuff in the background. after seeing this movie a million times.

The house blows up, they're, ah, they're running around, I guess flames or something got on rigs because Bertolt's hitting them. And they goes, you're on fire. And I'm all right, I'm all right. And then all those little kids are like, ah, we didn't see it. Do it again. Do it again. That's what he was. You guys got all your fingers and toes?

And they're like, yeah. And then one little kid goes, do you think Dixie was home? And they kind of look at each other. nod and they go, yeah, and this is when the cops or the firemen are bringing out a charred body in a body bag and it's Dixie, and that's when they're trying to figure out what happened. And then one of the cops said, well, these little kids were, one of them saw it. They were saying that they were playing under the house and they saw somebody coming, come over here. They thought it was like a meter man or something.

And they go, okay, well, well, they were talking and they were like, well, which one of you? Oh, because it was this one. And he goes, what's your name? And they don't want to tell him. And they were like, don't tell him your name. And he goes, he goes, you have to tell you. If you tell him your name, you're going to go to jail. And he goes, no, you're not going to go to jail.

And that one little kid, don't tell him your name, Alfred. They're like, oh, my name's Alfred. And then they were like, they were asking him a question. He goes, is it? He goes, do police kill black people? He goes, or he said his mind. My mom said that police kill black people. even in this time

and little kids are saying that yes I was in the script but I mean again that is that's true 1987 yeah probably 86 when they film this but I mean this is nothing new

I mean I don't mean to stand on my soapbox again but that's how it is I know again some of you might not think so but this this is this reality on how it is. And that's how,

especially a lot of people in low income, how in neighborhoods view the police. But it was good to see that he's like, no, no. He goes, we're not like that. And he goes, we're. And he goes, do you shoot him? He goes, no. He goes, I'll shoot him in the leg just to stop him. But, I mean, of course he's got to throw out that little kid logic at him. But I did like that scene.

But I mean, that was, I mean, well, Shane Black wrote this. So he obviously knew to throw that in there. Especially, it was cool that some little kids said it. Because he said, yeah, my mom said, please kill black people. And I know some of you, well, maybe not you listeners, but there's some people out there that don't think that. But I mean, it's true.

But anyway, so they were talking to the kid. They kind of get the other kids away from him so they can talk to him. And then he goes, well, did you see him? And he goes, well, what does he look like? and he said it was a white guy. And then he goes in, what they said about his hair? It was white or?

Blonde. Okay, so they said, yeah. Then they said something. Instead of saying a tattoo, he said it was painted. Yeah, and then they were like, what? And he goes, he goes,

what was a tattoo? And he goes, yeah. And he goes, like Popeyes. And he goes, no, oh, not like Popeyes. He goes, it was that. And another nitpick. Luckily, Riggs was standing there with his arm, upper arm facing that kid with his sleeves rolled up. So he could see his tattoo.

And he goes, it was that. And he goes, just like that. And he goes, yeah. He goes, they even had a knife. He goes, yep. He goes, I remember. And he go, okay. So that's when Riggs tells him, well, this is a, what do you say?

It was a special forces tattoo. Yeah. So he was like, oh And then they were like, uh-oh. And then because one of the cops came out And they found parts of the The explosive device And they were saying it was like Mercury switches

Because rig says he goes this Because I haven't seen stuff like you This is this is fucking artwork He goes I haven't seen stuff like this since the war And then that's when they were realized And then that whole scene with the with the tattoo And they were saying Yeah

He's telling Marta We're dealing with mercenaries here like professionals. Did, oh, they went and saw, what's his name? Tom Atkins after this,

right? Yeah, because Martaul's kind of putting everything together. He remembers that, that Michael Hansa, because they kept saying his name, that he was calling him.

And he was, he put it together that he wasn't just calling him to protect his daughter. he was calling him for help for himself because it wasn't really about his daughter it was about something he was into yeah but because we didn't find that out until later because remember when he go when they go see him

he's at the bank and um he's telling him goes yeah he goes yeah just my daughter uh got into some stuff I'm making porn and stuff like that and because I just wanted to get you to help me help her get out of that stuff because he couldn't really go into it because he was at work and there was

everyone but what he was telling Murta he said look he goes can you just find these guys and kill him and he was like screaming it in the bank and he was like oh all right I'll do what I can because he goes he goes you you promise me you're going to do that goes you owe me and then it was like yeah I owe you and then they walk out but then there's one rigs goes what

what did he mean by that and he said he saved his life during the war so it's kind of like all right right um okay after this where did it go um we didn't go right to the funeral yet um because after we this scene might have happened earlier but um no shit i'm thinking of the second one now um all these movies blend again but um but like i think we were we said something out of order but anyway so let let's go to the to the um to the funeral Riggs is waiting outside. Murtaugh is inside talking to

Huntsacker and he's telling me, look, man, he goes, he goes, you weren't trying to get a hold of me to stop this. And he goes, you were trying to get a hold of me because this is something that,

or your daughter died because of something that you were into. Because that's when they started putting two and two together. And this is when he said, yeah, he goes back during the war. I assume they were, I assume.

Hunsacker was a part of the special forces stuff because he said that during the Vietnam War this is what it was said in the movie I don't get mad at me he said VC was or Charlie I think he said Charlie too but he said that they were they were dealing heroin there but then I guess the CIA guys they rolled in there and

And they just killed everybody that was in that village that was dealing with, that was running the heroin thing. So they said that after they killed everyone, they had all this stuff. And then they put two and two together. They said after the war, they said, you know what, we could still do this. And we can make money from doing it. Because they were saying it was ex-CIA guys by the time they started drug dealing. So they were saying that there was dealing with big drug dealers and dealing with mercenaries because these are all retired military guys that were helping them do it.

So they were the ones that could do. They could be the muscle and everything. And the general was the leader of the show. So that's why. That's how he was involved with it. But Huntsacker was like he was getting to the point where I can't do this no more. But they couldn't kill him. They said, well, the only way they could hurt him is by killing his daughter.

That's why she got killed. It was a casualty of what Huntsacker was into. But while he was spilling his guts on the whole thing, they just love helicopters in these movies. Because his helicopter must have been a silent helicopter because it just came out of nowhere. Yeah. Yeah, I was like a stealthy helicopter. Yeah, I was like, how did you not hear that? I mean, especially Riggs, he was standing outside.

Well, maybe this is the Special Forces helicopter. Oh, and they're called the Shadow Company. Yeah. So maybe that's the part of their thing. They just silently show up. No, I'm not buying it. If it was Blue Thunder, because Blue Thunder had the silent mode. I would have bought it if it was.

if it was that helicopter. Blue Thunder, if you guys haven't seen that movie, it's awesome. Check it out. So that helicopter comes up. Mr. Joshua was hanging out of his side and snipes hunt sacker.

I love that because he's standing there with his back to the window. Bullets going through him and shoots through the egg knock box that he's holding. And then he pumped a few rounds into him, so he falls down. I love this camera shot. Because Riggs runs up

and he just gets his gun and he's standing behind a tree and he just unloading on the helicopter. He hits it a few times, but then he switches his clip hella fast, and he gets, he's leaning up against his fans of this wall and just do, do, do, do, and he's just shooting as that helicopter is flying away hella far. I don't think he hit it that time. He hit it the first couple of times when it was up close, but nitpick again. How did he not hear that helicopter? He was standing right there when it came up, but. It's the shadow company. So they're like, oh, man, he goes, well, all right, well, let's try to figure it out what's happening.

So the general called, no, Mr. Joshua calls the general and tells him, yeah, Huntsacker's dead. We got him, but we got another problem. And they're like what? And he goes, he was talking to the police. And they knew who they knew who they were. and they were like, so, well,

we're just going to have to deal with them. So is this when, uh, Riggs got shot? Yeah, because they're walking around on the street. He's questioning, uh,

another hooker asking, do, does he know Dixie? She's in your line of work and all that stuff. And then, uh, uh, I got to say it again,

the stealthy car, because you don't, really here until it gets super close because it just all of a sudden just screeches out of nowhere and Mr. Joshua's hanging out the back with a shotgun and shoots rigs and he flies right through a

store window. Yeah, that was a little stealthy car because they just on a busy street, no last. Shadow company. That car comes screeching around the corner and blasts him and he goes crashing through the window.

So let just haul his ass out of there. Murtaugh was actually across the street. So he comes running over, picks up Martin, and then he realizes that he had a bulletproof vest on, which was good. Because he was like,

oh, good kid, you're wearing your vest. And then he's like, ah, and he kind of like snaps out of it. And then he's like, oh, fuck. And he goes, he shot me. And he goes, it was that same albinal jack rabbit that did huntsack. So they're like, oh shit.

And then they go, what are we going to do? He goes, I don't know, man. He goes, maybe we should lay low for a while. He goes to get a couple first class tickets to Detroit. Yeah. And then they were like, oh, fuck. So that's when they were like, well, he goes, we got the upper hand on him because he was telling him. It goes, look, he goes, they think I'm dead.

So he goes, what we should do is just go, just take them all out. So it's kind of like, all right. So as they're walking, they get back to. the car. They're getting in and getting ready to leave. I mean, I'll be just leaving the crime scene. A big window busted, whatever that store was. I think it was a car lot or something. So, they're, I mean, a cop showed up because you got to remember hearing a sirens and everything. So they're like, they got a call over the radio and they go, yeah, there's a, whatever, whatever the number was, they said. There's a, there's a dead body. And then they were calling.

And he goes, well, can you send someone over there? And they said, well, we're calling you because it's only like couple blocks from your house. And he goes, well, all right. Who is it? And he goes, blonde with dimples. And they're like, how did you know, Sarge? And they're like, oh, fuck. And he goes, that sounds like the guy my daughter's dating.

So they go hauling ass to his house and then they come charging in guns out. House is empty at this point. But then the wife and the kids come on. What's happening? What's happening? But they, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, He finds a letter and they open it up and I think it said, we have your daughter or something like that.

And then the phone rings and Mertau answers it and they say, yeah, we got your daughter if you meet us wherever, wherever. From what they said, they shadowed company later kidnapped Mertal's daughter, Rian and demand Mertat turned himself over to them for her return. Mertrude Riggs planning ambush for the exchange at El Mirage Lake. I think they said that in the movie. I'm just reading this off of Wikipedia. So they go, all right.

And then that's when they were telling, look, man, he goes, we're just going to go there and kill as many people as we can. But it was kind of going to be, like, off the record. Because they didn't want to drag in the rest of the police force. Yeah, because Rick says we're about to get bloody on this one. So I assume they would all get fired for doing something like this. but when your kids are involved, you do what you got to do. So that's when they go out there.

They're driving out in the desert. The car stops. Riggs jumps out and goes hauling ass holding some kind of rifle, some high-powered rifle, so he's kind of laying in the cut. Murtaugh goes up. Mr. Joshua and all their band of mercenaries are all standing right there. So they just, They were just supposed to switch each switch off, right?

Or that was the idea of the meetup. Yeah. Okay, because they basically wanted Mertoff because they wanted to know what Huntsacker told him. So he was like, oh, you turn yourself over and we'll release her. But then he's like, no, release my daughter first or no or no deal. And they're like, oh, whatever. So he kind of reaches into his pocket and he pulls out of a grenade and pulls the pin. And he's like, look.

And he goes, what do you do? You're going to kill your daughter? And he goes, well, I'm going to kill. If my daughter's going to die, it's going to die my way. And this is Mr. Joshua's because you're up against all of us. Look at all the hardware. He kept saying. So it's like, nah, he goes, well, just release my daughter.

And then I'll come with you guys. And then out in the cut, you see Riggs pointing the gun. He's looking through the scope. But somebody was in the way. He couldn't hit Mr. Joshua. Was it, Raj? Was he standing in the way? Yeah. Okay.

So he was standing in the way. He kept saying, move over, move over. So he can get a clear shot. But then Mr. Joshua pulled out his little pistol and shot Roger in the shoulder. And he dropped the hand grenade. And then everyone just started running and it blew up. And then that's immediately, they started the firefight. Riggs is just picking dudes off.

I don't even know how far he was, but he was picking fools off, left. and right. Roger's kind of, go ahead. Well, they mentioned earlier. He told that story about when he was sniping somebody from a thousand yards away in high wind. Was he in Vietnam too or was he in a different war? A different war, I think. I don't quote me.

But, yeah, he had told a story about how he made this shot that only eight, maybe 10 people in the world could have made. So it lets you know he's a good shot. Because, yeah, he was just dropping fools left and right. Then Raj is yelling at his daughter, get in the car, get in the car. So she jumped in the limo and started hauling ass. But then they grabbed Raj. And then as right before Riggs had a clear shot of Mr. Josh, he was about to do it. But then someone walks up and points a gun to his head, and it turns out it was the general.

and he's like, oh, fuck. So he calls him, yeah, I got rigs. All right, we got Murta. All right, you guys go after the girl. So she's screaming. She just made me mad, because she just was holding her hands up screaming, didn't know what to do. Her dad screaming, get in the car, go.

So she finally jumps in and hauls ass. I don't even think she went a mile and then just wrecked in this little ditch. And then they came up and they grabbed her. they guys they go by I assume they're in the back of that club of where they were in the beginning because then we see

Murta is our Riggs is hanging by his hands and Al Yong Is that his name? Al Yonge? Yeah, Al Yonge is standing there holding two little wet sponges hooked up to some kind of

charges because I think they were hooked up to like a battery or something. So Mr. Joshua was telling him like look, basically, we want to know what you know. What do you know about our shipment? And that's what Riggs is. Why you just call it heroin? And he goes, well, it's kind of bigger than that, the shipment.

And he goes, well, what do you know? And then he's like, I don't know. He goes, we're going to be here a long night because I don't know shit. And then they, they start zapping them. I don't want to feel that. I've been shocked many times, but I don't want to feel, especially being all wet. because when they were shocking him, Mr. Joshua was trying to push him back.

He kept getting shocked because you see him pulling his hands back. So while they're doing that to him, they got Mertal in the other room with the general and his guys are just beating the shit out of Raj because lips all busted up, eyes halfway shut, and he's just hanging out and telling them to go spit and all that shit and then... I always wondered how...

How bad of an insult is that? I don't know. I've only heard it from him. I've never, ever heard that in my life. I've been to go fuck myself and stuff like that, but never go spit. So they're pounding him. And remember he's got the shot. He took a bullet to the arm.

They break out the salt. And that seemed to hurt more than those punches. Because when they rub that salt in his arm, he's, I'm going to kill all you and all this. So going back and forth to Riggs, I was like, look, man, he goes, if he would have known something, he would have told us. He's like, nobody could take that.

And you're like, all right, well, just finish him off. And let's get out of here. So he go back to Murtaugh. They go, all right, well, if you're not going to talk, and then they bring out his daughter. She comes running in, gives her dad a hug, and then they kind of hold her off to the side. Now, your daughter's very pretty.

Basically saying they're about to either rape her in front of him, and he was like, don't. And he was telling him all that. They go back to Riggs. He's laying there. He's hanging there. It looks like he's unconscious. Al's about to juice him up one more time.

And then he kicks him in the head or something. And then he, yeah, he kicks him first. And then he grabs, he gets his legs and wraps it around his neck. Yeah. And then while he's still hanging there with his hands above him, he like snaps Al's neck. His name was Endo. I don't remember them saying his name in the movie, but kills him. And he pulls himself up.

He jumps down. They're just about to dig into Raja, to Rian, Roger's daughter. And this is when Mertok comes charging in with Al Yonge on his shoulders and throws him over on somebody. and he grabs a gun and starts lying fools up. Yeah, so the general, he kind of hauls ass out of there. Riggs just fucking unloads on fools and knocks a few guys out. And this is when Mertals like, oh, pretty thin, right? And then Riggs is like anorexic.

So this is when they gets a knife and it cuts them all, it cuts them loose and everything. Like, all right, let's go, let's get out of here. And I go, hey, what does the Shepherds say of the other guy? Heather Shepherd, what? Let's get the flock out of here. So they go running out. This is when Dar Robinson, the stuntman, he's up in the rafters.

Riggs pumps a few into him, and then he kind of falls off, and he's hanging by his leg through a chain. From what I understand what they're saying, that he invented that little pulley so he could fall, and it would just look like it fell really hard. I can't exactly explain the tension and everything with that. But they were saying that Dar Robinson invented that little trick. So that was pretty cool because he's dead and he's laying there hanging there. This was another thing. Another nitpick.

To go back earlier, when that guy, Iro Ross was doing the deal in that club, there's his band playing on stage. And I assume it was just 80s band, late 80s band. And I remember the guy screaming at them like, yeah, we need to pack this place. And you guys are playing like that. First of all, I don't know what kind of band there was, and they sucked. I couldn't imagine paying money into this club to listen to that band. But to each is on.

I mean, I'm not the greatest drummer in the world. But anyway, so they go, the club didn't even look packed. But that band was up there playing, and there was people out there dancing and everything. But they come running in, and then they just start unloading. A rig starts unloading on the bodyguards that are there. everyone's running through the club screaming. Okay, yeah, they chase him outside. Mr. Joshua jumps in the car and they go hauling ass.

How did Riggs get that whatever kind of gun he was holding, some kind of machine gun? He got it from one of the guys. Because he was... Go ahead. Go ahead. I was going to say he was just shooting guys and snapping necks. and all kinds of stuff,

and he picked up one of the guns. Because he runs out, and he starts firing on that car that they're driving away, and he goes running after them. And he did a lot of running in these movies. So he's running. He's running and shooting.

Murtaille still kind of lingering around on what's happening out, what's going on outside. This part was, I don't know if, I'm sure police officers, they tell you, don't fight.

in a crowd but they're on the freeway um uh Gary BFC uh Mr. Joshua he they're their car wreck so he kind of jumped out of that and then he's running uh like there's luckily there was travel if you've been in L.A. there's always traffic so the traffic was moving pretty slow but he was able to jump out and uh he's he Mr. Joshua's shooting at Riggs and Riggs is shooting back at him cars everywhere and they're just not even aiming. They're just firing, so bullets are flying everywhere.

I assume nobody got hit because I don't know, man. There was a lot of bullets flying all over the place. Some cars should have been hit. But Mr. Joshua kind of jumps into carjacks his car and then just goes a hauling ass. Riggs is trying to chase him, but he gets hit by a taxi cab.

And by then Mr. Joshua was gone. So it's like, fuck. So he grabs his gun and goes running back towards the club. Raj is outside. He kind of walks to the front of this alley and we see the general and one of his mercenary guys

jumping the car. Was Edo Ross in this? Because I think the deal was going down. I didn't see him. Because they had like the well I guess he wasn't there. They had all the

the heroin in the back of the car. I don't know why it wasn't in the trunk, but all right. So they had like a backseat full of drugs and grenades for some reason. So the car's driving, the general is like, all right, man, just take them out.

And Raj, he has to do the little neck thing with his gun. It does it a few times throughout this series. So he pulls out his shooter, his little six shooter, and then it starts firing. He puts a couple into the driver. The driver swirves, crashes into the wall,

shoots out onto the main street. Roger jumps out of the way, but as a car shoots out onto the street, here comes his big bus, and it slams into the car. It goes flipping over, and it's laying on its top. And Roger is standing there looking.

The general's in there screaming, because, I mean, the bus hit at that car, so it flipped it, it caught the car on fire. And the general's in there. He's all jammed into the seat trying to scream, and ah, I don't know why he was trying to grab the grenades.

There was a whole bunch of them in there. He should have been trying to crawl out. But he was reaching for the grenades or whatever. And then the whole car blows up. So he's dead. And then they're like, okay, well, what are we going to do? And this is when, does he, does Rod say that he knows where I live? Yeah, but real quick, I wanted to point out, because the, the drugs was in the car when it blew up.

I always laugh when when you when you look at the crowd and people are like trying to taste it out of the air because there's just powder everywhere. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I don't know how much was in there, but the whole backseat was full. So obviously. Because you see people like grabbing the air and like licking their hands and stuff. And that wasn't coke. That was heroin.

So I don't. I know nothing about. that I think I would have walked the other direction but you're in Hollywood so I'm sure there's a lot of heroin themes out there well obviously if they're licking the air and licking their arms and everything so they go to the house back to a Roger's house and now we see mr. Joshua he's he's cruising down the street and he rolls up to one of the cops and kills them the police officers and then he goes into

shoots up the door goes into the house he starts walking in looking and this is a wonderful life was on TV and he looks over and then you hear

Jimmy Stewart screaming hey what day is this and then there's a Mr. Josh goes this goddamn Christmas and then shoots the TV so they start looking around and then this is when Riggs comes in with the gun points it at him

and then they take him outside, cops everywhere at this point. Did someone crash into the fire hydrant? Yeah, somebody did. I think when... Was it the police car? Yeah, when he shot?

Yeah, because when he shot the police, I think they rolled and knocked over a fire hydrant. So there's water squirting all over the place. and Riggs kind of comes outside and there wasn't going to be they could have just easily just arrested him and took it away but then that wouldn't have been a good ending so we got to give the crowd what they want

and we wanted to see Mr. Joshua and Riggs go at it so you want a shot at the champ so I like this whole fight scene I mean it was good it was just them going back and forth and was that Gary Busey during all this or was it

Some of it looked like him I know the close-ups was him But when other things I want to say that some of the fighting I don't even think it was Mel Gibson Yeah I mean we don't have a coach thing going on From Action Jackson but I think

Bucce did did some of it Yeah so They had that big ass fight And he was losing And at one point, that he came back. And I remember he almost choked him out, right? Because then I remember he had his legs around his neck. Yeah.

And then I think that was it. And they're like, ah, he kind of just submitted. They're like, all right, get that shit off my lawn. So as they were getting ready to arrest him, he kind of snaps free of the cops, grabbed one of the cops pistols and this is when Riggs and Martin or Martin and Mertor

pull out their guns. I mean Riggs was already hella tired because once they both pull out their guns and they both shoot him Mr. Joshua goes down and he's dead Riggs just falls down because I mean obviously he's tired to me if you guys have been a rough and tough fight

like that you'd be tired too so evil evil is punished in this episode in Hollywood. General's dead. He blew up and all his heroines floating around in Hollywood Boulevard and

Mr. Joshua gets murdered shot by our two heroes. What happened? Oh, there's and then when they have the little heart to heart at Murtaugh's house. He goes to the grave first,

grave site. Did he? rigs yeah he goes to visit his wife's grave and then after that he goes to he goes to murtaugh's house but at first he wasn't going to stay because he was just dropping off that bullet because he had that bullet that he was saving for himself and he had it like a little blow bow on it and told told him give this to your dad he'll know what it means oh that's right but then yeah that's when he comes out and goes hey you're going to make me eat uh my wife's food by myself and

alright well I'll come in so that's when they go in and he brings his dog with him he goes hey man can I bring someone yeah it's and he kind of whistles and the dog comes running in goes into the house and then I guess it starts chasing the cat and you hear it leaves his truck door open

yeah um well I was about to give another little nitpick I was like what the hell do you need a big ass truck like that for in the city um that's how he's pulling his trail around so never mind, scratch all that. But I don't know if you needed the dullies for all that. I've driven one of those trucks before.

And all I did was hit curbs. I kind of just always felt like that was his thing throughout the series because Marta's thing is the damn station wagon. Oh, man. The movie was awesome. Shit, man, we've gone almost two hours with this one. Oh, man, what do you give it? this is an easy nine nine and a half for me a little nitpicks here and there but they're small

but this is this is a this is a classic this is a ho christmas i was going to say a christmas movie um the action's good the back and fore uh between uh gipson and glover is great and you can easily see how this just set up a franchise yeah i mean i uh I'm right there with you. I'll give it a nine, nine and a half. I mean, it could have been a 10, but just the nitpicks. But it's still an awesome film. The budget was $15 million, and it boxed office $120.2 million.

So it definitely made more than its money back. A lot of money back then. Yeah, it was. I mean, they're making movies more than $120 million right now. So, not anymore. Yeah. I don't know.

Disney might be, I don't think they're spending that much on Mandalorian, but I'm sure they're spending a lot. But, um, Mandalorian is the fucking best thing on TV right now. Well,

yeah, I guess. We just, I just finished Selena, the series. Um, I liked it, but I noticed a lot of people don't like it.

But anyway, that's, we're not the, the drama returns yet. Yeah. Lance, Lance, get on the Mandalorian. Stop waiting for all of them to drop. I know.

Speaking of brother, Lance, he brought me up on that last episode. I got to bring him up again. Man, what did he give Blubb? Like, the fucking six or something like that? I know you heard me. Yeah, I did. I said you were, you was yelling somewhere. I was driving down the road.

I was like, motherfucker, man. the blob For me personally I love that film The remake the 1988 One I love the Steve McQueen one as well That movie's an easy 10 I love that movie

I mean Johnny drama Bunny from Platoon He's badass with that fresh ass Permed mullet And Shawnee Smith is hella hot The young Shawnee Smith She's hot And even Candy

What's her name? The Waitress I've always liked her and everything. She was also in Blue Thunder. Have you seen that one? I think we need to do it. Yeah. That's another one that

when I watch it is going to be like a first time. That's how long ago I've seen it. All right. Well, remind me Blue Thunder when we're when we're done with this. But yeah, this movie's awesome, man, but fucking is low score. Get the fuck out of here.

Again, brother Lance, I love you, but come on. you did hear on that one show when he said when he gives a seven that's a high score so if you break it down Lance giving the blob like a six would be like everybody else giving it like an eight or nine I forgot to put a comment on on the on the Facebook page but oh man yeah when you said that ah here nance hell yeah you did As soon as he said that, I was, I was driving down the road yelling. I felt it. I felt it before it happened. He felt a disturbance in the force.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Come to think of it. Okay, okay, okay. Listen, they took me up to the hills and this house with stilts on it, right? And I had like a job interview with a guy and his name was Hans. Hans. Can you take us there?

Hold it, we're just supposed to sit on this guy It's not going to do any harm to Luke Okay, okay, okay, okay, I know the address Come on, let's go, Ron, no, we're shenny, don't know, let's go, let's go Come on, Ron, come on, Ron, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, hey, hey, hey, hey, listen, if we're going, shouldn't I have a gun? No! All right, that was Lethal Weapon, everyone, uh, let's move on to

1989's, uh, the sequel, Lethal Weapon 2 Mel Gibson and Danny Glover Now we're cooking Are coming your way Everybody's favorite weapon is back I'll take two of them out you take one Better get you take two I'll take one Letheple weapon too

I'm not a cop tonight Roger is personal rated R now playing at a theater near you Google first South African's smugglers find themselves being hounded and harassed by Riggs and Murtaugh, two mismatched Los Angeles police officers. However, the South Africans are protected by diplomatic immunity. And so the two assigned to witness protection duty in an attempt to... In an attempt by their captain to keep his job, it is only when this witness reveals to them that he has already dealt with the smugglers that the trouble really starts. Okay

I'm sure IMDB is only Like a sentence Click on that one Excuse me Uh, yep One sentence Riggs and Murta are on the tail of South African diplomats

Who are using their immunity To engage in criminal activities Yeah Okay Now it's good Again Richard Donna returns To Direct this one

Shane Black as well Comes back He's one of the writers as well as Jeffrey Boehm Who are the other two That helped write this Warren Murphy

I'm like Shane Black again For the characters From the first film But Leitha Weapon 2 stars Mel Gibson Gippson

Danny Glover New to the To the series Joe Peshy He's Leo Gets Um Joss Acklin Is that the

That's the bad dude, right? Yeah, I don't know. From the Mighty Ducks. I just remember him from Belentez Bogus Journey. I remember that. He was the bad guy in that one. Ah, yeah. Derek O'Connor, Patsy Kinsett,

Darlene Love, Tracy Wolf is back. Of course, his whole family. Steve Kahn, Vasquez, Janet Goldstein. uncle Uncle Hank Dean Morris He was I can't remember

his name in total recall And a bunch of other people All right Leitha Weapon 2 Brian what do you think This one Is my favorite

Out of the four Out of the franchise I love it It's just It's what you loved In the first one But I felt like You got a

you got a better bad guy to hate because this guy was better than the the general guy uh the the main diplomat guy because he's always like diplomatic immunity and then you get that great line at the end when uh murr tal comes back with him it's just been revoked that see that's the stuff in action movies i love those little lines and um and the addition of joe peshy as leo gets whatever you want Leo Gitz. Like, I love his character throughout the franchise. He's just, he's the comedy, comedic relief. You know, he's just always like, okay, okay, okay, okay, whatever, whatever.

You know, I love that guy. And we get, we get a little bit more into the backstory of Riggs in this one. And I, I enjoyed them just kind of bringing, bringing everything full circle, just kind of connecting what's going on now with something to happen. his past. We'll talk about that later. And yeah, this is definitely my favorite out of the franchise. I like this one as well.

The first one's my favorite, but this one was good. The addition, the adding Joe Pesci just made it awesome. I mean, the first movie I had seen Joe Pesci in was easy money. That came out in 83 with the great late and great Rodney Dangerfield, rest

in peace. I loved him as Nikki. And then I started seeing him in other things. I mean, I had to go back and I saw him in Raging Bull. He was badass in that. And then, of course, you got Goodfellas and all the other things that he did after that. But

to have him in this as the comic relief, it was good. I was like, oh, cool, he's awesome. He's a good actor. Let's see him be funny again, because I haven't seen him in comedy since Easy Money, so it was good to see him in this.

He stole, every time he was on on out of this whole franchise from from here to two three and four every time he was on the screen he stole it because he was hell of funny yeah he's he's joe peshy man you know him and you love him so and i like when we go through his character throughout the franchise he's like got a different profession in every movie yeah i mean because he was basically um borderline criminal not really but he was stealing from the bad guys. I guess he was like their accountant or whatever, because before.

He was laundering money for them. Oh, he was doing it for them, that's right. Yeah. And then he got busted from doing it all. But this one, it was awesome. I mean, I loved everything, and it was cool. Like I said earlier, when I was talking about Danny Glover, when he told us that there was going to be a part two,

they didn't start shooting yet he goes yeah we just got word we're going to do another one and I was like fuck yeah it's gonna be awesome but what's that going to be about at that time he didn't know he just knew that they were doing another one so it was cool to see what was going to happen just see the further adventures

of Riggs and Murtaugh so I was like all right cool I'm fully on board with this I just loved how it starts you just see Riggs yelling and screaming and they're hauling ass down the road and Murta's

Wives the station wagon Why doesn't he have a car? I was just about to say that. Why are you driving? Do you just leave your wife at home and she can't drive around? Yeah. You're a sergeant in the L.A. police department. You should have at least enough to buy yourself your own car

unless he blew all his money on that boat that he had sitting in the driveway. True. Because he did say the first one, he goes, I know, he goes, oh, you're not to sell this? And he goes, this ain't a sailboat. And he goes, I know how much they cost. So obviously he blew all his money on a boat instead of a car because he's mobbing down the street and his wife's station wagon. Because this movie just jumps right into it.

There was no, we already know who the characters are. So there was no need for introduction. It just dives right into the action. They're hauling ass down the down the, were they on the freeway or were they on the street? I think they started on the freeway and then ended up in like a street where there was businesses and stuff. Okay, because it says here two years after the events of the first film. Okay. Really quick.

I've noticed, especially in movies, if the main star is wearing something, everybody has to go buy it. I know we talked about it when we did our golden child one about that dumb little hat that he was wearing. Everybody in the mother was wearing it. This hat, this quick silver jacket that Riggs was. was wearing. I remember after that, after this film came out, and that's when I noticed, I was never a Quicksilver fan. But everybody had that jacket.

And I remember it being like, it was expensive, but it's not like today's expensive. It was probably, I don't know, 50 bucks. That's probably cheap now. But anyway, but everybody, I remember everybody wearing that jacket just because he had in this. I was never the one to follow the trends dealing with style. I mean, I had my own style, and I didn't

have $50 to waste on that jacket. I know my buddy had one because he was like, oh, man, I got the rigs jacket. And I was like, dude, whatever. But anyway, so they're hauling ass chasing these guys. They're chasing some dudes in a was a red beamer, I think,

or either that or Mercedes. I don't remember. But anyway, they're hauling ass chasing them. I should have just watched this too. Were they shooting at each other? I don't remember. Yeah, they were shooting at each other. And for some reason, Mertar's station wagon was keeping up with this BMW. I know, man.

Well, again, LA traffic, so you can't go full speed. But they were doing pretty good. And I like this scene because Riggs was like, just don't scratch my wife's car. because Riggs jumps out and goes running after him. I remember that. So he jumps out of the car and goes running after them on the freeway. And then they go chasing him. And Riggs jumps back in the car.

And he like tells Murta, move over. Let me drive. And he goes, all right, no scratches. So they're hauling off. And they're trying to get around this car because they're going up the on ramp. And he's like, no, he goes, no, he goes, you're not going to feed. You're not going to feed. He goes, yeah, I am.

And he scrapes up the whole side. Oh, I guess you were right. So they go chasing, their hauling ass still chasing that car. Did it, did it, I can't remember, did it crash into something? Because I know. Yeah, it went through a store window. Oh, that's okay. Because I think it flipped and then it crashed.

It flipped onto its top and slipped through the window. And Martin ran in there. They did the thing where he was like on three, we're gone. and then he was already gone before Marta even got out the car and the guys were gone. But before that, man, because when they were on that freeway, they got off the freeway and then I remember they were on a bridge and then that's when that helicopter came.

A more stealthy helicopter. They must have borrowed it from the first guys. You can't hear them when they're coming up. No, because it just comes out of nowhere. And there's guys on there who are shooting with machine guns and a couple of the dudes that there were in the car jumped out

and they jumped in the helicopter because then it took off but then I think that was when the other dudes jumped back in that car and they floored it and that's when it wrecked and flipped over and those guys

those dudes jumped out because that's when the Merton Riggs went in there and they're like fuck nobody's here and then they heard something and something around the trunk and they thought that they hid in there but then when they opened it

it opened and all this gold coins fall out fell out Kruger Rands what is that and I don't even know what is it just some kind of gold or the South African gold coins okay so and they're like fuck what is it and they're like fucking Las Vegas and then they didn't know what it was and

uh why were they chasing them did they ever if they did I don't remember what they said uh let me see uh It just says pursuing an unidentified suspects transporting illegal shipments of gold crew grants, but I don't think that's why they were chasing them because they were surprised when they found it. Yeah, so maybe they knew they had some kind of illegal shipment.

They just didn't know what it was. Yeah, I assume that was the case because, yeah, they never really dove into why they were chasing them. so they uh they do all that um and then shit i just watched this one too and i don't remember what happened i mean because i know they after that they i think this is when we're introduced to uh the bad guys in this um yeah josh ecklin as rudd council general rud and Derek O'Connor I assume it says Peter or Piter

Or Smith Yeah, him. He just kept calling him Borsnett That guy Because Why did they kill that dude Because remember when they went in there And he was They had all the paper

The plastic lined up on the floor I think because he Fucked up to the pickup I guess Okay So he's Oh, and he let him get all the crew grants. Oh, okay.

So, well, I guess he was by the one that was in the car that drove it off because the other guys jumped in the helicopter. So, all right. Yeah, so technically those guys should have died, too. I mean, they should have killed it. They lost it, too. So, okay, what does it say? The African-Near apartheid government of South Africa, subsequently orders Los Angeles

Council General Arjun Rudd and security or whatever his name is to warn both detectives off of the investigation. They are reassigned to protect I'm not, okay and then it's just jumping

all over the place but yeah those guys were there the South African guys were there just obviously doing dirty shit that they weren't supposed to do but again why were they there why were they in America

you want to jump to that part because I can say why oh okay well then we'll know then because I'm trying to think why I what were they were what were they doing there but okay so after that

yeah we meet them we they kill that guy and then this is they're still trying to figure out why who these dudes were and what's all this crew grant doing in L.A. But then they're like Well, there's nothing we can do that they got away, but let's try to work on him.

And this is when the captain tells him, all right, well, you guys need to do something else. We need you to protect a federal witness until I assume the feds got there. Okay, nitpick time. Shouldn't there have been federal agents with him this whole time? Yeah, I live in Anchorage, Alaska. I can tell you where the little FBI building is here. So I don't know in L.A., why do they have to wait for federal agents to come? It's a little weird.

Yeah, and he's by himself too. If he's this big witness, there should have been some kind of security outside of his room. But, again, it's a movie. This is that we're introduced to him. Yeah, I never really thought of that. sure do just come in and he's there all alone yeah and nobody nobody else is there before rigs and murtaugh show up um you see a uh uh one of the food boys what do you call him uh not waiters uh server serve i don't know bell boy i don't know serving something whatever he he's rolling in

with the food and one of the this guy kind of goes hey is uh what room is this for and he tells him oh and then we don't see nothing of it yeah it don't work like that yeah not supposed to just tell people what room you're going to yeah so i mean even if he is looking on like he's all about business in his business suit so he didn't even he didn't even ask him why no he didn't he told him he didn't even like hesitate either oh it's for room whatever whatever and then that that's the end of that scene Riggs and Murtah show up. They go in, and then they're just, they're meeting Leo,

and Leo's just being himself, being all funny, tell him, yeah, whatever you want, Leo gets. You get it, get it. So I like all that. But then they're basically just telling him, look, all right, we're going to take this room, and you're going to be out here. Well, I got all my stuff in there. And then just looking around.

Then he's kind of like, oh, man, look, you got a six-shooter. And, yeah, I bet the kids got automatic. And then he tries to look at everything. rigs his gun and he just slaps him in the face. So then the doorbell, someone knocks on the door, he goes up and here comes the guy with the room service. So he's, they're looking at it.

They're just grabbing food off and they're eating. He goes, hey, that's my food. And he goes, if you want something, then order it. He goes, it's all free. And he goes, look, he goes, look at the silk robe. He goes, free. And Raj is like, it's not free. The taxpayers pay for it.

And he goes, this is the same thing. Free. So this guy, this assassin isn't a very good assassin because he walks up to him. And if it wasn't for Leo pushing that gun down because that guy pulls out a gun and Leo sees it and then kind of holds it down really quick. And this is when Rigg runs over and tackles that dude. Real quick nitpick. When the, what do we call him, bellhop server or whatever, when he talks, he has a. an accent and nobody picks up on it.

I guess not. He wasn't like he tried to hide it. It was too busy eating Leo's fries. Yeah, so Riggs runs over him, tackles him, and then they, I guess he had tackles both of them because Riggs, the little waiter dude and Leo go crashing out the window. Luckily, he was the, his room was on the side of the pool. And I don't know how deep this pool was. And I don't know how many floors up there were,

but they seemed like they fell pretty far down there. And shout out to the stuntman that did the stunt, because those were real people falling out that window. Yeah, Mertzaw had no problem with this. He just kind of, he didn't have a worried, like, my partner just fell out the window. He just had that like, oh, not again kind of thing going on. But it was funny, though, because they all just went, ah, crashing out the window.

I mean, again, this jumped right into all the action. There was no buildup or anything. So I thought that was cool. They kind of, if you, I don't know how many hotels, people, any good listeners have been at. I've been to many hotels. All the pools are never deep. I think the deepest is maybe five to six feet. I mean, in the deep end.

So even if you fell from. that high. You're going straight to the bottom, but it's a movie. So so they, the, the waiter guy, whatever, he climbs out of the pool in Hall's ass. Leo was holding

on to Riggs and like, I can't swim. Well, he's a short guy. So, okay, I can let that slide. So they got to hold him off to the side. And then, shit, what did they say to each other? I don't remember after they crawled out. I know he was yelling at Raj when he came down there because he was like,

he was like, you're my partner, he was supposed to back me up. You're supposed to follow me down. Because then they, oh, that's when they tell him. They're like,

Rick's like, hey man, this guy took an awful chance. He goes, what did you, what did you see? What did you witness? And then this is when they end up going to

Raj's house. Yeah, because he, Leo said, I just have to. but I just laundered half a billion dollars in drug money. And then they were like half a billion dollars. Yeah.

So he explains to him what he did. So he's like, yeah, I'm not going to go into an explanation on how he did it. But he basically laundered drug money from them. And they caught him because they go, well, because you got caught. He goes, yeah, I did, huh? So that was the reason why. And he did it from, well, I don't think we knew at this point who it was yet. So, but then he was like, okay.

And they're like, well, who are these people? Well, I don't know. He goes, he goes, they just, they took me to a house. So he remembers that there was a house up in the hills with a house on stilts. So they go driving up into the hills looking for the house. And then I remember they were saying, look, man, this is like the ninth house. Is this it? And they goes, yeah, that's it.

And then so they go, okay, well, what are you going to do? And he goes, that's when they were just going to go charge it in there. I like this part because they tell Leo to stay outside and they go hey man should I have a gun they go no oh that was when they were back at the house so

the Riggs goes there okay another nitpick this is a house on stilts Riggs comes walking around the corner he kind of goes around the side of the house and comes up the back stairs he's holding one of those big giant nest that you scoop stuff out of the pool with

and a bucket of who knows what. Nobody up there has a pool because your houses are on the cliffs. Where did he get that big pool net? Again, a nitpick. I would

say the neighbors, but why would they have a pool? They have a house on stilts also. Yes. So he goes walking around, those guys come running outside because they're inside doing dirty shit. It looked like they were counting money

with one of those money counters. They had like automatic weapons on them. Yeah. For no reason. Well, they, I don't know,

they're bad guys. I mean, but bad guys in these movies are, especially in the 80s or all. Well, I mean, they're supposed to be diplomats,

though. They have diplomatic immunity. But do you need your, your automatic weapons just laying out in the open? So. I mean, I don't know. So he comes out, they come running out with their guns looking at him.

And he goes, well, I'm here to clear the pool. And they're like, dude, we're on a house with stilts. And then he was like, oh. And then he kind of turns that steak. He hits one in the face with the other. And then he drops the other dude that pulls out his gun. Then Raj comes in, right? Yeah, he comes in to hell.

and then somehow all their back no not not yet not yet one of them takes off running and it's the guy that was driving not driving a car

he was one of the guys that was driving the car no he said rich go hey that was the dude that took off he goes that was a guy that oh from the hotel the hotel yeah that took a shot at Leo so that's when they go

they go chasing him Riggs runs out And jumps The guy runs out of the house They're right in Luckily right in front of the house Somebody's car broke down And

The That dude jumps in Into the tow truck And it just takes off And then Riggs goes running He jumps onto the back So he did a lot of running again He runs and jumps onto the back

Of this tow truck And he's hauling ass Leo and Murtaj Jumping the station wagon That's all beat up And then the hood was gone I remember that, but it had a black hood. So they're like, ah, they're hauling it.

Oh, they blew out the windshield as well. They had to put a new one in. I went from the beginning chase. So they're hauling ass down the road. Riggs is just dangling, hanging on. I'm sure that was him for the close-up shots, but I'm sure that wasn't him when he was hanging off the front of the truck. Because he's a, I think he was, no, did he, he dropped.

his gun. Yeah. Because he was getting thrown all overplayed and that dude was driving pulled out his gun and started

shooting at him but bad guys are just bad shots especially when you're hauling ass down these windy

cliff roads so they're chasing them I know Murta's behind them they stopped they see I don't know

how they saw Riggs's gun but they stopped and they run Leo runs out grabs it and they jump in the car

and they go hauling ass back um Riggs is he climbs I think he climbed up onto the, oh, no, no, no, the trailer on the back, the little ramp that was holding the car. It was kind of up still. So then the guy driving, flicked a switch, and then that thing started, the little, the platform that holds the car, started to go down.

So Riggs climbed up on top of the truck, and I think that guy stepped on the brakes, and Riggs flew off the top and roll onto the shield and was holding on to the front. luckily there was a big pulley rig for him to lay on perfectly and hang on while there was hauling as down the road

why did the truck stop was there traffic I don't remember there was so much going on in this scene especially the way it ends with the dude getting killed

with a surfboard of air all things I think I think it's stop it slammed on the brakes because I know rigs rolled off and then was it Mertah and Leo that came up and slammed

into the rear and shot that car off the car that was hanging that was getting towed which should have been on hooked up by chains but at the movie so they hit it for they rear ended it goes flying off the top over the top of the truck and flies out onto oncoming traffic another truck

with some surfboards on the top they fucking just goes head on with that and the surfboard goes flying off the top of that car or that truck and crashes through the windshield of the tow truck

and spears that the driver and kills them. Yeah, I like when Riggs looks in there and he's just like he's wipe out. They should have showed it. I mean, surfboards are a styrofoan and then plexiglass, I think. Not plexiglass.

What's that shit they put on the outside of it? Fiberglass. That thing, I don't know if it would have went through the windshield. I think it would have broke, if anything. It maybe cracked the windshield. But, again, nitpick movie. So that guy's dead. Then that's when they go back to the house.

I'm surprised all those guys during that whole time. I don't know how long, maybe just a few minutes, really. They should have all been gone out of that house. But they were still back there loading up the money and everything. And then the whole police force shows up because all those guys, Vasquez and the rest of them and Uncle Hank all come swarming into the house. The dude from colors is still around. Yeah.

They all come charging into the house, guns drawn and everything. And this is when, what the hell of that, Rudd guy, Arjun, and Riggs kept calling him, Arian. He comes down the stairs as well as the Voracet dude. And he's pulling out the, you guys, they pull out their credentials, the diplomatic community bullshit and telling them that you can't do nothing to us. We're here on business. and through the Geneva Convention or whatever, they said that you can't do nothing.

You can't even give us a parking ticket. I mean, I assume they could kill people and all that as well and nothing happens. I don't know how all that works, but that kind of sounds like a good deal to just go to have those documents and go to any country and do whatever the fuck you want. but all right I assume that's real I don't know I don't travel out of the country with my diplomatic papers

but somebody let us know yeah someone if you guys know give us a link or something I'd like to read into it but well shit I guess I can click on it but now we'll be here all night

so fuck what happened after this this is when what's her name gets introduced Rika. What'd you think of her? She's cute. As far as the movie goes,

I don't really think she was necessary. I think yeah. I mean, they try to give him like a love interest and you get him, I guess this sets up because they never

really said what happened to his wife until now because he has that scene. where he's talking to Roger's wife and kind of tells the story of what happened. So I guess they tried to add that love interest aspect of it,

but I didn't really think it was necessary for this. And she didn't really, she didn't really provide anything. No. I mean, she knew, she knew her boss was bad, but you thought she was going to

maybe give some information, but no. they just kind of bang and eat chili with crushed Oreos in it? Yeah, she didn't really do much. I mean, she just was just filling space and gave, yeah, the love interest for Riggs. But she never really served a purpose with the case because she didn't like she did. Again, she probably knew stuff but didn't just didn't want to know anything because she didn't tell them anything. Yeah, because they kind of set it up like.

Because you had that scene where a diplomatic community guy drops her off, and he's, like, kind of being creepy. And then she kind of walks away from him, and he's just staring at her. So I thought there was going to be this whole thing where he wanted her and all that. And it just kind of, they never went nowhere with it. Yeah, I mean, he was the boss. I mean, I'm surprised he didn't force himself on her. I mean, even if he did, he couldn't.

wouldn't have got in trouble because of his He could have just He couldn't just see all that And diplomatic immunity Yeah so Yeah she kind of really didn't serve her purpose Well

Served up rigs pretty good During that one scene But Okay so after that They When they're talking to them And he was telling them That you guys basically got to get the hell out of here

You got no purpose here and when they said Riggs's name the Voreset guy kind of went Martin Riggs and he looked at him and went yeah and then he just did Of the Chicago Riggs's

Who wants to know? So he just kind of like All right At this point we didn't really know why he said that or why he even knew him So So After they all left

there was some little side things dealing with Murtaugh's family his daughter Rianne was an actress and she was doing a commercial Oh, this part was great Yeah, they told everyone Well, Murtaugh didn't want to tell no one

But then he told the Riggs And he goes, yeah, and he goes, oh man, come on, be proud. And he made an announcement at the police stages Yeah, Raj's daughter is going to be in a maker, acting debut in a commercial, it's all tonight at 8 o'clock,

on channel whatever. So they're like, all right. So that was pretty much the announcement of that. But then we go to the house. And they're all sitting around the TV watching. And I noticed I always try to get a little PC in these films because Mertal, Raj is about to eat a sandwich, a tuna sandwich. And they go, what are you eating?

He goes, my tuna sandwich. And then they're like, you can't eat tuna. And they're like, why? You're only supposed to eat albacore. because they said they kill the dolphins. They get trapped in the fish nets. So why do they have tuna then? Because he didn't go out and buy the tuna and bring it home to make a sandwich.

Exactly. Another nitpick. I was just about to say that. But I thought, what is Albuquer? I thought that was tuna. Don't ask me. I would have said it was the same thing. But wasn't that big a deal.

You guys didn't throw out the tuna you had. Yeah, because, I mean, I just buy whatever. I mean, what I always get. I always get the Walmart brand, the great value brand. And I think it's just, I don't know if it says tuna or I don't know. I just eat it. It just tastes good. So again, a little quick little message they throw into this thing.

So then the commercial comes on. Oh, the Raj was getting some new rooms added to his house. I think he said like a workroom or game room or something added to his house because there was a guy, the dude that was fixing the house. He must work at all hours of the night because it was dark and he was still working. But this is when they show him using one of those air-pressured nail guns. when you see something like that and they kind of spend a little time on it,

you know that's going to come into play later on. So luckily he showed him how to use it, but I assume it's simple. You just pull the trigger. So they're all sitting there watching it. And they go, all the commercials coming on. So they're all watching it. And then I don't remember exactly what it said,

something like, when it's time. I remember what else it said. I just remember that line. Because you see Rianne and some other guy. That guy was there. It was a young black gentleman. They're watching it and then they're hanging out on the beach.

And when it's time, make sure you use, I don't know, when you remember what the rubbers were called? They said it, but I don't remember. It wasn't Trojan, but it was like something kind of like that. But then when they were seeing that everyone was like, everybody was like the mom and even the brothers that were like, what kind of commercial this. All right.

Another nitpick. Why didn't she tell her family what kind of commercial it was? Was she just saving it for a surprise? You know, that's a good question because her reaction almost is almost like she expected everybody to be okay with her condom commercial. Yeah. Like, I don't know. It's like she didn't.

know her dad was going to get mad, but I do like the guy that was working on the house. He was like, it makes me want to buy rubbers. He makes me want to go out and buy some rubbers right now. That's what they kicked everyone out of the house and did you go home? And then Murtau starts yelling at Reagan, because you had to tell everyone. And he goes, and he was, cops never forget, man. It's going to be just everyone's going to be on me. So he's kind of mad at that.

where did it go after this I think this is when I went to that Rudd guy being all creepy with what was it name? Rika or something? Rika. Yeah, I mean he was being all creepy with her. Yeah, and then after that you get

Riggs basically following whatever his name is. The main guy, he's following it. He just happens to keep popping up everywhere he is. I think the rubber thing happened before they met Leo because Leo

Leo wasn't with them or it's all right so yeah this is when I think yeah they rigs starts following a rut around and then

they go to whatever building they were at and I assume it was like a South African something building because there was a lot of protesters out in the front this is in the 80s during South Africa with the

apartheid stuff so again they got to throw in that type of PC type of stuff I mean which was good I mean because some one of my friend goes I didn't even know and he goes the only thing I knew about apartheid is when we're in class he goes

was from lethal weapon two I was like okay come on man you got to be a little woke and no I only knew about it because a lot of my friends were a part of that movement trying to end it down there. But I did like that because when they go there, Martin sneaks in

because everyone's out there hooting and hollering. And he goes into, he sneaks in and he gets into the main office where Rud and all those guys are. And shit, what did he say to them? Or was he just trying to rile him up? yeah I was just trying to Rial him up and then through all that

all that going he had took that piece of paper off of his pad down his desk and I think weapons were drawn but he was basically like you ain't going to shoot and then that's when he did the the iny-mine he mo yeah and then he shot the

fish tank and then just walked out of there he didn't run because all those guys were too busy trying to get all the the fish the little fancy fish that were flopping around on the floor. And you again, you get this thing with the Forcenet guy like he

knows, because he's just standing there staring at Riggs as he's walking away. Yeah. Because when he leaves, he goes outside and this is when he runs into Rika. And she's like, oh, Mr. Officer Riggs and he's like, hey, how's it going? And then he just kind of flirts. She flushed with him. He flirts with her and then he ends up leaving.

Oh, and then she goes to the store. She's in the grocery store buying dinner or whatever for herself. Okay. Was Riggs following her just to try to see if she knew anything? Or was he just following it to try to get his? Both.

Okay. Well, he was hoping one led to the other. So, because yeah, they were flirting around everything. And then she goes, like, just come to my house. And I'll make it. make you dinner. Got a nice big house. He goes to live right on the beach and there's a good sunset out of every window and all that.

So she goes and goes to his house and sees his little trailer. He goes, all right. Well, here it is. He goes, I wasn't lying, was I? And then this is when he goes, yeah, he was going to cook for her. He was going to make her the chili with Oreos and all that. I like Oreos and chili, but not together. I wouldn't even want to try what that tastes like.

So, but And while this is going on, what is his name, Rudd? Yeah. Yeah, he tells Forstant he needs to take out all the cops that are involved. Yeah, because they,

I guess it was just everyone that was at that house. So, or everyone that's a part of the case, I guess, because that's when he just, they slowly start killing all of them. It took out, Vasquez first. I don't remember her name in this, but

luckily she, they must have knew she was a swimmer. Because, well, the first guy they took out was I can't remember that black guy's name. It wasn't the dude from colors. No. He was hanging upside down. I don't know what that does. I assume it does something to your spine. But anyway, so he was hanging upside down and then Vorace said or whatever he comes charging into the house

and he says some shit Tim I can't remember but he ends up shooting him in the head and kills him Oh yeah he he uses a lot of racist South African words He was calling him kefers Whatever that is I assume that's Their version of the N word Yeah

Because you're like hey have your brains ever seen the light of day And then shoots them in the head So then we go to Vasquez's house she's getting ready to go to work, but let me do a few laps first. So she jumps, as she's jumping off her diving board, she bounces on it once.

It blows up. I assume it just knocked her out, and then she just drowned because it didn't look like she was bleeding or anything. But anyway, she's dead. We go to Uncle Hank's house, him and one black dude from Diehard and colors. They're all getting ready to play poker.

Oh yeah, he wasn't diehard. Agent Johnson. Yeah, him. No relations. So they, I also like that line of die hard. It goes Agent Johnson. No, the other one.

So anyway, so they're all sitting there getting ready to play cards. Then Uncle Hank was like, hey, man, let's hear some music. So he goes over the radio and turns it on and the whole house boils up. So back at the police station, everyone's going. crazy like, where's Murta, where's Riggs? And like,

I don't know, we can't get a hold of them. Well, someone needs to get a hold of them. And they're kind of like, well, what about all these other guys are dead? And he goes,

well, don't worry about them. Let's worry about the cops. This is what the captain would say. Let's worry about the cops that are alive. So they're still looking for those two. Rodgers with Leo. And Riggs is, uh,

go back to his, his trailer and he's, uh, deep in it. And, um, that, that was, I had to fast for it.

That scene was a little too long. I'm not the one for skinny gals. But anyway, that's me, everyone. So he's throwing her around, rolling back and forth as the dog's watching. And then how did, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, where was Leo and Murtaugh? Because the paper that Riggs took off the desk, it said Alva Barton, or something. something like that. And Martaugh was like, I heard that name before.

I heard that name before. And then they were at whatever, the little safe house or whatever. And Leo was trying to do his taxes, do Roger's taxes. And then something clicked in his head. And they were like, we got to go to my house. And so they went to his house. And he pulled out a video of him, like a family vacation. And the name that was on the pad was the name of a ship.

Well, that's right. Because he watched the video and he found it. But while he was doing this, Rudd's guys showed up and they took Leo and, I think this, yeah, he kills a couple guys with the nail gun because they're fighting through the house and they fight into the new room. And a couple guys, one guy gets a nail gun to the head and the other gets multiple nails into the chest. Oh, that's right. Yeah, because Rod's killed those two guys. Those other two jumped in the station wagon and took Leo. Uh, so that happens.

We go back to Riggs. He's, uh, done. He's laying there knocked out. Uh, his dog comes running up. His dog, Sam comes running up barking. So he, uh, Riggs kind of sits up and then he hears the helicopter. These ones should have been stealthy, but they weren't. So he heard the helicopter's coming.

So he wakes up, uh, Rika. Here, get your clothes on. They're like, well, what's happening? You're going to just get your clothes on. And then so they, they had throw their clothes on really fast. Uh, he grabs, his gun and they go there's a little dog door on the floor so they could they crawl through that because the helicopters come flying up and then they just start unloading on the trailer

some of the dudes jump out with their guns and they're they're unloading um and uh riggs tells rika look he goes when when there's a pause in the gunfire they're reloading so i run to the truck so he's like all right now so she's ah she's running they're still shooting at her um he um he um Oh, he comes out and he takes out a couple of the guys that are on the ground. He grabs their guns. He climbs, or one of their guns, he climbs up on the top of his trailer and just starts unloading. He kills all the guys in one helicopter and the other guys that are on the ground. And that helicopter, the other helicopter takes off.

So Riggs grabs Rika and they jump in their car. And they grab the dog and then they go hauling ass down the road. That helicopter is still chasing him shooting at him. and then shit, what happened? He stopped and he was shooting at the helicopter. Did they? Oh, no, they got away.

They got away. But that helicopter didn't crash. Did it the second one? No, they ended up catching rigs and Rika. Oh, go. I think they got away. I assume somebody went back and got the other helicopter that was sitting there in front of that trailer. because it was still going.

The propeller was going after it killed everyone. So I assume they went back and jumped in and took that helicopter. I don't know. It was just me thinking. So Riggs takes her back home. I don't think that was good police work. He should have just kept her with him. Yeah.

Just take her where they know where she lives. Yeah, because obviously they do know because they dropped her off at her house earlier. So they go up and they say, all right, they knock out rigs and they say, okay, go up and get the girl. So they go up. They got Leo and I know they were punching him. They took rigs down to the docks and they threw him in some kind of stray jack and wrap some chains around them. And then they just threw him into the water. Well, first the Vosnett guy tells him

Oh, that's right. How he knows him. It turns out that she didn't just die in a car wreck. He was hired to kill Riggs for some case he was doing. And he thought he was in the car with the wife, and that's how she died. So, yeah, so the Vorsonet was the one that killed his wife. So. And if that was two years from the first film, I'll say maybe three years after.

Let's just say a year after his wife died in the first film. So yeah, he tells him and he's all hella mad. And then they're like, I'm sorry, bro. And then he lives versus it leaves. And then those guys throw him into the water. And then he's down on the water. was he like way down or something because unless that chain was hell of heavy

I don't know didn't look like they stuck any rocks in his pockets or anything but he goes straight to the bottom but then while he's down there luckily there was some light down there because he looks over and he sees Rika and she's dead she drowned she just she also has a straight jacket on him

I assumed they either must he must have woke up and in the jacket and then they probably killed her before they threw him in so so he sees her and then he

earlier in the film they had the he would the reasons in the we jumped over the scene completely Riggs was in the in the police office police station and he was in a stray jacket and I guess he had made a bet

like he could, was it a minute that he could get out of that? Five minutes. Oh, well, yeah. Five minutes to get out of this stray jacket. So, and what he was, what he did is he could, he could pop his shoulder out of socket.

And then he was able to get out of it. And they were saying he said, when he was a kid, he got into an accident. And then ever since then he was able to knock it out to add a socket whenever he felt like it. All right. Back to the water.

He's on the water. He pops his arm out of the socket and nitpick. If it was that easy to get an arm under there, because the arm that he used to get the straight jacket off isn't the one that he popped out of a socket. But thinking about it, maybe it just loosened it because, okay, his arm is out of the socket. So it gave him a little more room to put his arm up. But then these guys didn't do a very good job with tying him up. Because if he was able just to get that one arm under it and then pull himself off, the chains weren't even on very tight.

But I didn't do it. So he climbs out. And then he slams his arm back into socket and everything. And then we go. it kind of flashes forward and we see Riggs walking kind of pacing back and forth on the beach holding Rika's body and his dog is just sitting there

so he kind of just I don't know how long he was there but he kind of snaps out of it and then where do he get his truck from? Good question. Movie magic. Yeah, he got it because they knocked him out I assume they left his truck at her house,

but I don't know, maybe they brought it down there too to get rid of it. But anyway, so he's in his truck. How did, oh, Roger called him on the radio. Yeah, he calls him, and when he's talking to him, he's not really making sense. He's basically, he's telling him he's going after Rudd, and he just keeps saying they killed both of them. They killed both of them, and he's just like killed,

killed who and he figures he's going to I think he tells him that he figured out the name and they basically meet up there he tells me yeah I'm gonna kill him and I'm gonna fuck him and all that

yeah he saw did you say he's gonna fuck him in their asses yeah they meet up at the back at the house with the stilts and so Ruggs or Riggs is telling And I look, man, he goes, when I give you the signal,

just do what you got to do. Go in there because this, that house is where they had Leo because they were in there beating him up. I'm surprised. That's surprised they just didn't kill him. Yeah, much respect to Leo, because they were beating his ass and he didn't talk or anything. So what they did, I mean, did they want their money back?

I assume that was the only reason that they kept them alive. I think that And I think they wanted to know how much did he tell Okay Because they were they were basically Trying to get all loose ends So That's when Riggs was like

All right you'll know Because Mertag was like Well what signal was that you'll know when it happened All right so Roger kind of goes around to the front And he he's waiting and then Riggs is he hooks up this chain

or something around one of the stilts in the back of his truck and he's just hauling ass going back and forth inside the house I think those guys thought it was an earthquake because they're like oh fuck so they're running around this is when Raj comes busting in he goes in there shoots up

the dudes and he grabs Leo and then they get the hell out of the house before the the whole house collapses because Riggs is pulling it. He finally pulls that cement post, or it's a steel post, but a cement base. And he pulls that out of the ground and starts hauling ass down the road. Then right before the house falls down was when Raj and Leo jumps out of the house. And then the whole house goes falling down, rolling down the hill. I assume those dudes were already dead that were in there where Roger blasted.

and yeah sorry I got sore throat so they they he riggs jumps out yeah he's hooting

and hollering and all that they Raj Leo and riggs meet up and they just basically all right man

here take my car and go just go back go to the police station and wait for us can I run the siren yeah as loud as you want so he can

They give each other hugs and all that. And then Raj and Riggs go down to Albaarden. That's the big ship that they were going to ride back to South Africa. All right, before we get into that, why were these guys there again? The bad guys. Were they dealing drugs? I guess. I mean.

They were doing evil. stuff. Because they just had a ton of money in one of those cars because when Riggs and those guys got there they went into one of those big containers and then they found like just pallets to the ceiling full of money. So I don't really know where they got that. Well, okay, right here it says drug money. Yeah, they were evil racist South African drug

dealers. I guess. guess. It says after the rescuing Leo destroying Rudd's house, they head to Albaard and Rudd's freight docked at the Port of Los Angeles at the South Africans prepare their getaway with hundreds and millions of drug in drug money. All right. So they were doing evil shit. Why the fuck did they have all the Kruger ant then?

Maybe they were, I don't know, maybe they were buying the drugs with the Kruger in and then selling the drugs and getting the cash? Yeah, I guess. I mean, come to America for all the drugs you want and sell it all. And then get the hell out of Dodge before the cops come. But they didn't know

about Riggs and Murtau. So yeah, because when those two go in there and they find why was, first of all, why was there a car in there? But I don't know. Because there was a pallets and pallets of money. And I liked when because when they opened one of them up and then Riggs was,

man, I could put all my kids through college with this. And oh yeah, shit, Raj says it right here. You know, because Riggs is like, take it.

And he goes, I can't. This is drug money. He goes, come on, man, just do something good with it. So,

that's a thing. I mean, many movies when they bust drug dealers and there's just tons of money. What's that one movie? I remember Ethan Hawk was a cop and I remember they busted these one dudes and they went in there and he was stealing all their money out of a washing machine. Was it Brooklyn's finest? With Wesley? Yeah, I think.

Yeah, I think so. Don Cheadle and Richard Gear. Should, I need to watch out. I haven't seen that one a while. I just remember like, yeah, because in movies, cops just grab them. all the money and roll, but Rogers is a good guy. He goes, nah, I can't do it. So

while they're in there, the South African guys run up and they shut the, they close the doors and lock it. And then the Ruz, like, all right, just loaded up onto the ship. So they're like, fuck, what are we going to do? And he goes, all right, man, we'll figure out something. So as the big can, the big trailer

container is up high, all of a sudden you're here and then the doors come busting open and here come the car comes flying out out of the container and I assume

it just knocked all the money I don't know how much speed it could have got to push all that money out as well but again movie because that thing it was a long container full of money in that car in there

so luckily that car was in there or they would have been stuck they would have woke up in Cape Town that you said that's where they were going so the car flew out flies into the water did it catch on fire when it crashed through

for some reason on the way down it was exploding or something yeah because it comes busting out and then all the money's floating everywhere and they're like fuck my money and then uh luckily there was a rope uh for them to repel down

because those two come yeah yeah it was like SWAT type little rigs that they were just happened to come down on. Yeah, because they come sliding down. And they end up shooting most of the bad guy. Well, pretty much all the bad guys,

because then once Riggs got down to the bottom, this is when they had the standoff with the Voracet guy. Because, shit, this is where I get lost. I think I was just looking on my phone during this fight seat because they went back and forth for a little bit, didn't they? Riggs and Forsniff?

Yeah. Well, Forrestnip was kicking his ass at first because he was doing a lot of kicks and spin kicks and stuff like that. But then Riggs got all psycho and started coming at him, beating the shit out of him.

And then they were going back and forth after that. Then when he got him down, he started just punching the shit out of his face. And then he got up and I think he was going to, the thing where they can't kill you and then he walks away. And then of course the guy is going to try to get up and shoot him when he's not looking in any conveniently the button to a container that was hanging there was right there. And he just pushed the button and force no gets crushed by a giant container. All right.

Another nitpick. I don't think that little button could have dropped that thing like that. I think you don't you don't think they have buttons that just drop containers I think that just makes it go up and down I don't think it was dropping I don't know according to this movie you just drop containers with a push of a button so yeah he gets smashed and he's dead Riggs turns around and then

this is when Rudd lights him up with a few shots because Rigg falls out he's laying there but then Raj comes up and does the

the neck thing but before he does that when he's pointing his gun at Rudd he pulls out his little papers diplomatic immunity and Raj does the neck thing and then shoots him in the head

have just been revoked and love that line that that's the end of him so evil is punished Riggs is laying there with bullet holes in them and they're just kind of hugging each other and that's the end of your movie.

Well, you know he survives, but the credits start rolling. There wasn't anything else after that, was there? No, they're just kind of laughing and he's telling him telling Brod stop making him laugh because it hurts. It's pretty much the movie.

Yeah, that was pretty much the last scene because then the credit started rolling while they're laying there. So I assume Raj radioed for help. And because, again, they know the police department didn't know this was all going on. Or there would have been all kinds of backup and everything there. So I want to know what they told the captain to keep their jobs other than they stopped this big drug dealer. But then again, when they do the investigation,

though they would have They would have both went to jail For killing these These diplomats from another country So Yeah But I'm a very forgiving captain

And I assume The justice system didn't care Unless they all swept it under the rug But I don't know What do you give this one? What I give the last one a nine and a half So I like this one A little bit more

So I can't give it a 10 because we had the nitpicks so 9.75. I'll just go with a straight 9. I mean, I enjoyed it. The addition of Joe Pesci, Leo Gets, was awesome. I liked the bad guys in this one. I like these bad guys a little bit more than the general. Mr. Joshua was badass.

He should have just been the main bad guy in the first one. But these bad guys seem to, they had that loophole, the diplomatic community. So I liked that whole aspect of it all. And of course, with the PC stuff, with the tuna and the apartheid going on in South Africa, I thought that was cool what they did there. But yeah, man, it's a good movie. Again, the action just jumped right off from the get-go.

So, I mean, it was just full speed ahead. Yeah, slowed down a little bit. It was good for a good action, shoot-em-up, buddy cop movie. I thought this movie was awesome. All right. Sorry, listeners. You know how it goes here on the action return? Sometimes we go long.

Yep. But, you know, next episode, we're going to continue with the rest of the franchise with Lethal Weapons 3 and 4. So I'm actually excited to watch 3 because that's probably the one I've seen the least. That's the one that I like. I dislike. I mean, it's good, but I didn't like it as much. I don't know. When we get into that one next week, I'll go into a little bit more.

But as far as what we got coming, other than here in the action returns, as well as THR Present Stream Fiends, we got that one coming for you.
