Lethal Weapon (1/10) Movie CLIP - Crazy Cop (1987) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Riggs (Mel Gibson) busts some drug dealers at a Christmas tree lot.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
L.A. cop Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), whose wife has recently died, is a loose cannon with a seeming death wish. This makes him indispensable in collaring dangerous criminals, but a liability to any potential partners. Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), a conservative family man who wants to stay alive for his upcoming 50th birthday, is partnered with Riggs. As Riggs gets to know Murtaugh and his family, he begins to mellow, though his insistence on using guerilla tactics to catch criminals is still (put mildly) above and beyond the call of duty. The main villain is The General (Mitchell Ryan), a drug dealer responsible for the death of the daughter of one of Murtaugh's oldest friends. The General is also in charge of a deadly, militia-like gang of smugglers. Adding fuel to the fire is The General's chief henchman, played with all stops out by Gary Busey. Moviegoers familiar only with the relatively tongue-in-cheek Lethal Weapon sequels may be amazed to find out how dangerous and unpredictable Riggs is in the first Lethal Weapon -- and how likely it seems that Murtaugh might not survive until fade-out time.

Never underestimate a man who's got nothing to lose.

[rmjmoviereviews]

Martin Riggs is one of the most realistic interpretations of grief put to screen. It really is this dangerous when you've lost a loved one, and can't deal with it.

[speedrunna]

"Shut up, man, I'm losing count!" LMAO

[danielmcd]

you can totally feel the intensity like he is about to implode. Mel is fantastic. I can watch this film a million times.

[basedjoe]

one of the greatest character introductions in the history of cinema

[plbeckman]

Can't duplicate Mel Gibson. Guy struggled with demons and still makes great films. Give the man credit.

[scraps]

I can't hate Mel Gibson, guys... I just can't.

The man's just too awesome.

[jogman]

“I can’t afford that, not on my salary .” LOL!!

[PeyserConlee]

"Shoot him! Shoot him! Shoot me! Shoot me!" So funny and sad at the same time. Mel makes you really feel the anger of Riggs.

[johnsmithee]

You can't kill a man who's already dead inside

[generalgaige]

This scene is both comedy gold and amazing action.

Rest in Peace Blackie Dammett! (December 07, 1939 - May 12, 2021).

[Disturbed]

What funny is Mel Gibson wasn't cast for this movie, he just wandered onto the set and acted like himself. This was the result.

[muttonchopsmcgillicuddy]

I grew up watching this movie as a kid and just watched it again recently and it's still a blast. Why does the time fly when watching these old movies yet 90% of movies today have me staring at the clock a half hour in?

[mindlessgonzo]

That is indeed a real badge, a real cop, and a real fuckin' gun. XD

[petarmolnar]

the way he mumbles in total rage through his teeth "YOU... WANNA SEE MY FACE IN THE CLOUDS" just kills me. Lethal Weapon

[rubedogg]

The good old days of buying a Douglas Fir and a kilo of coke at the neighborhood Christmas tree lot!

[scottystephenson]

mel Gibson really is a talent .. you don't get actors that come across in films so genuine anymore ..

[Elthenar]

30 years ago, Murtaugh was too old for this shit.

[atti]

R.I.P Richard Donner. He was a legend.
