MEL GIBSON IS THE ORIGINAL KZfaqR!!! Him and Ferris Bueller!

I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting Mel at a bar when I was vacationing in Malibu and he was a very down to earth guy and bought me a beer, this documentary also shows how down to earth and humorous the guy is and really what other actor would take the time to do this sort of thing and also include the entire cast and crew in on it? The best part was he actually remembered peoples names on the set instead of calling them what they did on it. It just seems like a lot of fun to do while also doing the film, and the fun spirit of it is great, and informative!

Damn Mel was really a vlog pioneer

The fact that they were shooting this literally alongside another Warner Bros classic “Christmas Vacation” was amazing. Think about the work that went into the set design and the crews that made that happen. They had to turn the Murtaughs house into “Todd and Margot’s” pretentious contemporary place. Then add all the snow to the entire neighborhood! Always these behind the scenes videos. What a shame we’ll never see another LW film after losing Richard Donner last year.

Mel is a slapstick genius!

If there were any subtle, but strong indications that Mel Gibson wanted to(and was going to) direct films....it's here!!!!

I recorded this back in the day on VHS but it is long gone good to see it again

I can't believe I found this absolute gem of a documentary. Showed a lot of the cast's personality and is a goal for film set environments. Mel and Danny were frickin awesome in the movie together, but I absolutely loved seeing them as goofballs in this. Gibson also showed off a little of his directing skills in this with some of the skits. Then when Danny Glover came out and started break dancing after they were referring to him as a wild partier, my eyes almost popped out of my head. Really funny

I remembered watching this and recording it off of HBO after the movie itself. Mel Gibson was an absolute genius putting this video documentary together. This was hilarious! Thanks for sharing this!

Your the man Mel! One of my Icons growing up. The Lethal Weapon films are literally the bench mark for buddy cop movies!

No one could have predicted that just five years later Mel would win an Oscar for Best Director & Best Picture. It all started with the quitter sketch. 🧦

Mel is the reason we now have Ryan Reynolds on KZfaq. If you notice the credits you can see the influence on Ryan Reynolds Deadpool films opening credits. Mel was the original Vlogger, back nobody was doing in those days. He also rocks an awesome mullet.

THIS IS GREAT. I haven't seen this since 1989

I've been looking for this tape for 30 years, thank you very much for your contribution. No doubt Mel Gibson was the king of Hollywood...!!!! :-)

That car crash at 1:57 is from the 'Road House' movie where Dalton invades Brad Wesley's estate.

Oh my goodness, I've been searching for this for a while!! I recall seeing this on HBO I believe and I laughed at multiple spots! It showed a different side of Mel as I was use to watching him play Mad Max. Lol

Omg, I can't believe i found this one. All i could remember was it was the making of some movie with Mel Gibson, behind the scenes, and he was upset about a sock calling it a quitter. I thought about this for years, and stumbled on it today. I was 9 years old when I first saw this, and oh my goodness, the memories.

One of those forgotten gems---the Danny Glover dance solo had me rollin!

Lethal Weapon 2, Road House, Batman. 1989 was awesome!

MEL Is A Maniac!! I Love Him!!!

Dude. Fuckin thank you for this. I missed seeing these. 🙌🏻🤘🏻👏🏻

Mel's first directorial debut who would have thought he'd make the greatest movies

Thank you for sharing this! I watched on HBO when it aired. What brought me here was that I remembered the adorable Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) had a cameo.

Mel You DAWG! You're THE BEST! Stay STRONG! M

Thanks for this upload. I haven't seen this in 30 years...

Thanks for this great videooo 😂❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing this, I watched this several times on HBO back in the day. Was always hoping it would be on a disk in the special features.

It’s crazy that he lost his Australian accent! These days. Mel is one of the best actors and directors in the game I hope I get the chance to work with him.

Thanks so much I have been looking for this 20+ years now!

Long before there was KZfaq and Tik Tok: Mel Gibson at his finest comedic self...

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

You can hear hints of his Australian accent here and there

So awesome 😎

THANK YOU! I’ve been trying to find this for years

Dear Mr. Ralston, Thank you! You're a treasure for this!

Took me back to summer of '89 when this was aired on HBO (when I was a still a teenager in HS on my planet🪐.First time watched in 34 years).

This is so great. thanks for posting it.

YES I LOVED THESE ON HBO. LOOKED FORWARD TO THESE JUST AS MUCH AS THE MOVIES THEMSELVES

Dude who played Joshua he actually looked like he could be connected, this was the best movie even in 21 I have not seen a movie with soo much passion!!!!

There were a couple scenes in Lethal Weapon 2 when I could hear Mel's Aussie accent.

I remember watching this as a young guy when it came out. Back in the day when you watched whatever the network was playing.

Brilliant this video is love the Lethal Weapon Movies first one I saw was the sequel

Wow! Mel talking to Derrick O'Connor, who played his bitter enemy in Lethal Weapon 2.

I am so glad I saw this. Mel got screwed by people he genuinely cared for. To all the haters things you say drunk should not destroy your life. But it is our crybaby culture now that made us all lose out on all the great movie and TV he could have made

I´m reading Richard Donner´s bio and they talk about these videos! thank you!

omg this is awesome; i saw the arm chopping part and literally screamed out loud

I remember laughing my ass off as a kid at this. when lethal weapon 3 was announced I prayed they’d do another one and they did. I still refer to old socks as ‘quitters’

How have I never seen this? 🤣🤣 What a legend

Hahaa! What I just saw?! That was so cool! Like it a lot. Wow! Mel Gibson is a legend

I saw this on HBO back in the 80s. I laughed my ass off. Been calling limp socks quitters ever since. As good a name for them as anything.

thanks for sharing

LEGEND

This was long before Curb your enthusiasm and The U.S. Office. Good fun and very funny.

RIP Richard Donner

Mind is blown to see a mineral collector in this.

This is fantastic!

BEST THING EVER

Dan Aykroyd haha awesome. Did not know about this!

Oh my. Mel is so much joy.

i miss prime Mel :/

Mel also did another one for his movie “Hamlet”. It was pretty funny too!

great credits, fun video

Gold !!!

I remembered these specials on HBO. I wondered if they were included in the DVD format with the film?

Didn’t expect to see Chevy Chase lol. The Warner bros sock joke I think has some truth to it.

So nobody notice footage of behind of scenes of that road house stunt

16:07 Hank Schrader!!!

if all the sequels to die hard had been directed by the same director, produced by the same producer, written by the same writers and with almost the same cast as the original, it would surely have been a lethal weapon, but unfortunately it did not happen

Love you Mel--you're hilarious!

80’s version of Cannonball Run end credits 😊👍🏼

Yeah, that ending was quite weird.. how many monsters did you 👀

Joyeuse ambiance ! Et Danny Glover a un talent de danseur que j'ignorais jusqu'à présent !❤️🗽🇫🇷🗼

I remember this well... knew dialogue from it. “I have to talk loud for this videotape, it’s crap”

now i get the south park parody

Aww they invited Gary Busey to the set

Ok but has Arthur Thompson seen this 24.38

5:16 haha is that Chevy?

Well damn this was so funny, 11:48 lol

Mel Gibson Danny Glover our Legends Lethal Weapon series the greatest cop movies of all time and my all-time all-time all-time favorite movies

Hank Schrader at 16:07.

mel gibson is literally me.

mel gibson is a character apart

hey that's hank from breaking bad @ dean

16:58 ok ok ok ok😁

Derrick O'Connor is actually Irish.

Lol i remember this 😂

L5 coming soon ...

Busey is in the screen shot and he wasn't in 2.

LW3 : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZZ1atKf3MCan3U.html

Man It's hard to keep a straight face....

8:00 Am I high or is the "paperboy" Clint Eastwood?!?

Is that you pal

hahahah

They should've just put this one out instead of the movie. Mel Gibson is the 3 Stooges.

I recognize the actors but not the country...California does not look like this.

Gary Busey was in Lethal Weapon 1.....lol.

Pee wee

It's a plastic

Who did he make the video for? ... 8 year olds?

Gibson was and is always a macho and a show-off, in his films as in real life. I never liked him because he was unaturally rather and unrealistic in his behavior that of a 5 year old boy. Something reminds me of Klaus Kinski who was always in love with himself and the only thing that counted was money nothing more.
