Talk:Lethal Weapon (1987)

16s

I think that M16 is actually an MGC replica. You can see the fake foward assist.--Oliveira 20:20, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Police Python 357 Ten Years before Lethal Weapon And a French movie to boot.

Got myself over to Utube and watched a compilation of the movie. There is a pretty well done armored car robbery sequence. It's nicely done when you realize it was filmed 35 years ago. There is a stunt when the hero Yves Montand does a combat roll while being shot at. A middle aged French actor did it ten years before Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon (1987)! LOL. I wonder how many people know that? I didn't until today. --Jcordell 02:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

'Old Timer' gun

Riggs states that "A lot of old timers carry those" with "Those" meaning revolvers. This film was made in 1987 when alot of police forces still carried revolvers as standard issue, so is this comment really appropriate?

- It's meant to be a remark about Murtaugh's age more than anything about guns. StanTheMan 17:31, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I realize it was a jab at Murtaugh but the joke still seems to imply that only old timers carry revolvers, yet at the time this movie was made even young rookie cops were being issued revolvers.
