You get SO attached to these characters... By the time you finish the 4 movies, you'll feel like part of the Murtaugh family. lol

Please... go through the whole Lethal Weapon franchise. All movies are awesome! :) These two guys have the best chemistry in the movie history.

I'm never too old for THIS shit! 😉👍

Nobody seems to realize after the jumper Murtaugh's hand is pinched by the guns hammer because Riggs fired the gun. The webbing by Murtaugh's thumb stopped the hammer and firing pin from striking the cartridge primer when he grabbed at the gun causing a misfire and saving Riggs life.

I say this every time someone reacts to this movie: I can deeply relate to Riggs in this movie. Throughout the franchise, really.... but we'll get to that later on. I was widowed in 2006, when my first wife died from cancer. It was the most traumatic event of my life. I know exactly how Riggs feels, even though our wives died differently (you'll find out later, I won't spoil it). I was a "lost soul" for several years after Rose died. I was also at the point where I got reckless as Hell, because I didn't care if I lived or died. It took me years to learn how to cope with a loss of that magnitude. I finally did, very, very slowly, and before Rose had died, she told me that when the time was right, she would send someone to me, so that I wouldn't be lonely for the rest of my life. I truly believe in an afterlife of some kind, because a few years later, a woman that I'd known back in school walked back into my life, and we "clicked" instantly. I had a dream where Rose came to me, and let me know that she had indeed sent Katina for me. Katina and I have been married for over 11 years now, and she puts up with all of my quirks and idiocyncrasies. It's actually me relating to Riggs so completely, that actually makes this movie both hard to watch, and a bit cathartic.

All four films are worth watching!

YES! This is definitely one of those series where EVERY entry is fantastic...and you can feel the love and bonding of the characters grow. You will NOT be disappointed.

With all the excitement you showed in this reaction you will love the rest of the series. Super cool reaction Blue.

“What time is it?” “It’s daytime…”🤣 Always loved that one.

This is such a good franchise. You need to watch the sequels.

Like the Rocky series, the Lethal Weapon movies feature great character development throughout the whole franchise.

Danny Glover’s character said that he was in the Ia Drang valley. That would been the Battle of Ia Drang in November, 1965. There was a book about that called We Were Soldiers Once… And Young, written by Hal Moore and Joseph Galloway, the American commander at that battle. In 2002, a movie called We Were Soldiers was released based the book. In that movie, Hal Moore was played by… Mel Gibson. If you haven’t seen it yet, you ought. Have a box of tissues handy if you do because it will make you cry.

There's 3 more and all of them are Good!!!! You can watch the development of the characters through the whole saga and new characters! Merry Christmas Trixy!!!!

How do you get a boat in the water? - If it's on a trailer you just back it down a ramp into the water - Lift it in using a crane - There are special rail ramps made for getting boats in and out of the water

Lethal Weapon 5 is coming soon... After watching all 4 LW movies, consider the silly parody Loaded Weapon 1. Very fun. Similar to Naked Gun stuff.

Glad you enjoyed this one, Blue. There are 4 total, but the second one is my favorite. It introduces Joe Pesci's character and has the best soundtrack of all of them. On a different note, I have to say you looked particularly stunning tonight. Your smile must be contributing to global warming! See ya for Lethal Weapon 2!✌❤

I was really confused for a minute when the movie was so dark, then realized it was Lethal Weapon and not Lethal Weapon 3 like the picture on the thumbnail. Looking forward to going through the rest of the series, so I hope you do it. :D

As always, great reaction. I say, watch the sequels too. IMO Lethal Weapon is one of the few occurrences where the sequels (at least 2. + 3.) is even better than the first movie.

I saw this movie in High School. Now, 35 years later, I can officially say "I'm too old for this shit."

The James Bond movies are definitely worth watching

Movie is a classic. the sequels are also great, Lethal Weapon 2 and 3 are the best.

It's great seeing a new generation enjoy this awesome movie 😊

One of my favorite Christmas movies. Die Hard is another great Christmas movie.

How could they make 4 movies and make all the movies soo good. (Every movie is different as per the characters development, perfectly done)

Yes, we are finally gonna see your reaction to Lethal Weapon. The other 3 are worth watching, and please watch and react to rush hour 2 & 3.

13:13 that's exactly why those plastic pool covers are banned because so many people would fall on them, shrink wrap themselves and drown.

Yes I definitely want you to watch part 2 & 3. Lethal Weapon & Die Hard are the 2 greatest cop franchises of the 80's & 90's. You choose your reaction movies so well. Blue you're awesome.

I scrolled a bit, and after seeing no one answered your question. People transport boats across land in a trailer, which has supports for the boat on the bottom. To get the boat in the water, they back the trailer down a boat ramp(which is a gradual decline into water), which the water will eventually cause the boat to float off of the trailer.

15:38 - "How do you get it in the water?" - The boat is on a trailer. You tow it to a boat ramp, which is a place where the road goes right down to the water, back the trailer into the water until the boat floats, push it off the trailer, then drive the trailer out of the water. One person then takes the trailer away while another person drives the boat to a marina or wherever it's going to be anchored. When it's time to take the boat out of the water, you reverse the process. At least that's what my grandfather used to do with his speedboat, although with a boat the size of the one in this movie, he might need professional help to get it in the water.

One of the only film series that gets better with each movie. Please watch the rest you'll love them

This is the movie that popularized "I'm too old for this shit".

Now you are obligated to watch the next 3. You will fall in love with the characters and story. None of the actors get switched out. You will not regret it.

It's so nice to see someone not even born back in the eighties loving this movie! There's a bunch of old eighties comedy/action movies you might like! I'm sure everyone told you about Die Hard, Terminator, and so on. But how about Foul Play with Goldie Hawn? Well that might be a seventies movie, but still. And Sugarland Express? And Midnight Run with Robert DeNiro? And of course, Silver Streak with Gene Wilder! Oh that's the seventies again. He is very good in Young Frankenstein as well. Oh, and don't forget to check out Body Double, by director Brian De Palma! That one is seriously good! And also Into The Night, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Jeff Goldblum, that one is a classic! Edit: Tequila Sunrise has both Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer, and it's brilliant! How could I forget that one? And Michelle is great in The Fabulous Baker Boys, but that is a different kind of movie. Still a classic, need to watch!

“I’m getting too old for this sh#t!”

Murtaughs line "I'm too old for this shit" is probably one of my most quoted movie lines ever. And it get's more true with every passing year 😂

Definitely check out Lethal Weaon 2; it is my favorite of all four films. All of the Lethal Weapon films were directed by the late Richard Donner, who also directed The Goonies, 1978's Superman: The Movie, Scrooged and The Omen(the original from 1976.

All four _Lethal Weapon_ films are masterpieces, it is very difficult to select which one is the best.

15:45 the boat it typically resting on a trailer…lots of coastal areas have boat ramps… You hook the trailer to the vehicle, tow the boat on the trailer to the ramp, reverse into the water til the boat is in the water, disconnect the trailer, drive out and park, then climb into your boat and off you go…

A boat like Roger's is held onto the trailer it's on by a winch and hook at the front. To get it to the water you tow the trailer to a boat ramp, which is just a (usually) paved ramp of road that gradually goes down into the water. The vehicle towing the boat drives backwards, slowly lowering the trailer back so the boat is into the water (but not so far that the towing vehicle is). Then the winch is unwound so the boat leaves its trailer and floats on the water by itself. Someone then gets in the boat to take care of it while another drives the vehicle and now empty trailer away.

I smile when Trixy reacts to hearing the title spoken in the movie - I thought I was the only one who gets a little pleased when the title of the movie is mentioned in the dialogue, giving an otherwise (potentially) ambiguous title more context and meaning.

There's four all up, unlike most movies franchises, they're all worth a look.

Great franchise hope you react to more

"Is that how it works?" Yes, it's exactly how it works (AFAIK for most grenades, notable exception being WWII German potato-mashers and the *really* old stuff). The triggering handle is spring-loaded. As long as you don't let it spring up far enough to light the fuse, it's basically safe. The pin is there just to keep the handle/trigger locked in safe position. You grab the grenade so that you're pressing the handle down. That way only as it leaves your hand as you throw it, it starts the fuse. Of course, in movies, etc., they let it "cook" before throwing, but AFAIK it doesn't make much difference in practice except that the thrower is taking an unnecessary risk there. The fuses are made for specific burning time until the detonation, but just like with fireworks they might burn faster than intended (though they're obviously more reliable). In that case you want them flying in the air and not sitting in your hand.

Welcome to one of best buddy cop action films and franchises of all time. Yes, I also consider it to be a Christmas film. :) I hope you watch the remaining three films in the series. Each builds on and continues their story. Pending who you ask, any of them could be considered the best in the series. For myself, I have a hard time picking between films 2 and 3. Great reaction.

Thank you for this reaction Trixy!! The original Lethal weapon is one of my favorite Christmas movies!

yes, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, all good.

Lethal weapon 2 & 3 are a must see

Awesome reaction, Blue! And perfect timing to watch Lethal Weapon, because I have always considered it a Christmas flick. We saw how you enjoyed watching LW and, yes, I would recommend viewing all four. LW 1 will always be my favorite because we get to know the characters, especially Riggs, and watch them develop into a trusting family relationship. So I'm looking forward to your reactions to the rest of the Lethal Weapon franchise. Rock on Blue! 💙🤘

Lethal Weapon is a one-way ride, Trixy. Those 4 movies are absolutely AMAZING.

The next three films are worth watching. Other comedic duos to watch are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Belushi in Red Heat, Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell in Tango and Cash, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the Bad Boys trilogy and Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in the Rush Hour trilogy

All 4 Lethal Weapon are great!

If Die Hards a Christmas movie. So is this one.

I’ve done a lot of camping in the California desert. Lots of hills and valleys. More than people realize.

Fun Fact: The man who wants to jump off the building is actually Mel’s stunt double. Another fun fact: When they jump together, you can see the prop handcuffs break, so they ended up holding hands as the jump.

This series are 4 movies 🍿! All of them awesome!

A grenade has a sort of latch that keeps the grenade from arming. When you remove the pin that latch is spring loaded and will release on it's own when you let go of it. So yes, if you have not let go then you can still put the pin back and the grenade will not arm.

part 2 is the best one i think. you'll learn more detail on what happened to his wife too etc.

Looks like Mel Gibson is directing Lethal Weapon 5. Richard Donner directed all of the others and passed at 91, asking Mel Gibson to take over for him.

“Big trouble in little China “

Definitely should watch all 4. The 4th is still decent, but it also has Jet Li in it, who is amazing.

Hey Blue! Glad you liked it! 👍 I didn't know you took capoeira! 😃 But yeah, only a little of it was used in the final fight scene, and the rollout while shooting at the drug bust scene, in the beginning. Still, good eye in noticing the credit! 😃 Keep on keeping on, pretty girl!!

Have to watch all 4 movies they only get better you won’t be disappointed

Classic number 3 is my favourite

After this and the second, you're ready for the spoof (comedy) --- National Lampoon's "Loaded Weapon" ..

I grew up in San Pedro California. Its around the cliffs along the coast of L.A. Hollywood has been making movies and tv shows in the San Pedro/Long Beach area for decades. There is a bridge that connects Pedro to Long Beach called the Vincent Thomas bridge. Google it. Its been used in A LOT of films and shows. One day in 2012, Tony Scott, director of many hit movies made the news for the last time. Sadly, he jumped from the bridge taking his own life. RIP Tony Scott.

YOU HAVE NOW STARTED 1 OF THE HOLY TRINITY OF 80's COP MOVIES!! LEATHAL WEAPON DIE HARD BEVERLY HILLS COP

This is one of my favorite movie franchises. The first one is the 'darkest' but the rest are lighter and action packed. By the time you get to the last one, you will see the bond that this cast and crew developed with a pay off in the end credits. Plus, Rene Russo is a bad ass female role model that gives Mel a run for his money. Jackie Swansen (Amanda Hunsaker) who kills herself in the beginning, actually performed the stunt herself. Looking down, the street and the tops of the cars were actually a life sized painting on an air bag that she fell into. And, I am pretty sure that the often copied line 'I'm too old for this shit.' originated with the Lethal Weapon movies. Mr. Joshua was played by Gary Busey, who was also in POINT BREAK (1991) with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. It is one of the best action films ever made with some seriously intense scenes beautifully filmed, and done with real stunt men and no CGI. I highly recommend it. Mel wrote, directed, and produced a movie in 2006, called APOCALYPTO, about the fall of the Mayan empire. It was filmed in Mexico with a cast of mostly locals with Mayan ancestry. Some of the actors in the movie had never even seen a movie before let alone speak English. It is action packed, visually stunning, with great characters and was nominated for and won many awards. Watch it through and then watch it again with Mel's commentary about filming it. It's very interesting.

Definitely watch all 4

Hi Trixy, this is a good selection. It's a fun movie about Christmas, dogs, girls, boats and policemen.

I agree with everyone who says watch the rest of the series. The second is even better than the first. Love these movies and your reactions. 🙂 Hope you're doing well and staying smiling! 🙂

There is a total of 4. You should watch all 4. Throughout the series there is character development and growth with a nice conclusion in 4. Their story is not complete until you have seen all 4.

Greetings from Finland!!! Yes you should definitely check out rest of this franchise!!! One of the best I've seen!!! "I'll be back" 😎

you have the boat on a trailer. you take the trailer to a marina that has a boat ramp into the water. You back up the trailer down the ramp until the boat is floating. With a person on the boat you then pull the trailer back up the ramp

the fight , they say, "utilized three martial arts styles (including a big of capoeira,) and requiring four full nights to film," if memory serves.

Lethal Weapon 2 is even better ;)

The two of them (Riggs and Murtaugh) getting partnered together saved both of their lives. Murtaugh couldn't of done any of this alone and the Murtaugh family has become the family that Riggs so desperately needed to give him the support needed to keep on living.

Yes, it's possible to put the pin back into a grenade as long as you are holding the spoon down. Once you take your thumb off the spoon Flys off giving you 3 seconds to throw it before it explodes. Unlike Die Hard 2 where all those grenades get lobbed into the cockpit where McClane is, giving him all the time in the world to get into the seat and eject before they explode.

this is a Christmas movie!

Oh, I was going to advise. I'll look at it later in the evening when I finish working on the book. I love your reactions.

Who leaves without eating breakfast when the mom just finished cooking eggs and bacon for everyone??? That's insane! lol

This is 1 of 4 films of these characters, and all are worth watching. Plus, the second one is funnier than the first, in my opinion.

Great reaction. Interactive without taking away from the movie.

Oh this IS Lethal Weapon 1 .... I thought you started with number 3 because of the thumbnail. 😂

*Yea, I've always wondered why this movie never had the "Action Movie vs Christmas Movie" debate like Die Hard has.* *Oh yea! and don't forget, when you get to "Lethal Weapon 3". there's a post credits scene.*

Omg you have to watch all 4 movies! They are so good!

Gibson was great in Year of Living Dangerously with Sigourney Weaver, which Peter Lynch Directed as well as Master and Commander

Definitely watch all the sequals they are all great

Lethal weapon 2 is my favorite :)

In the minute 11:37 that was a cell phone in the first part of the 80s, it was the size of a little briefcase.

Just wanted to say that I think your channel is cool - very genuine and heartfelt reactions. Please don't take this the wrong way - it was just a dream. Anyhow, I had a dream, while I was sleeping, that you were driving a four-wheeled off-road vehicle (a "quad") and that we were talking. Anyhow, hope you are having a good holiday 🎅🎄

Great reaction Trixie. Please watch the other 3 films in order. You grow to love the characters and their relationships, you honestly become part of the family. Subscribed. :)

All four of these movies are good, if you liked the first you won't be disappointed

That high school yearbook… I went there. Class 1994.

Nothing throws a wrench into a good party more than the discharging of semiautomatic weapons.

i really like the "lethal weapon"-franchise and i think i need to rewatch them. in the 90s i loved those movies being a wee lad with an affinity for action movies. they are actually like different seasons of a show. the first one is kinda dark and sets up alot of details, the second one is less dark, but somewhat harsher, the third one is kinda polished and the fourth one a bit silly (but all four are great). riggs' development has the most variation, but pretty much all characters (including the ones introduced later) have nice character arcs and the antagonists also have a nice variety.

Nice reactions to the original Lethal Weapon film, Blue!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The kid pointing out the tattoo always stands out to me. "Exactly like that?" "Mmhmm it had a knife even" That's all Riggs needs to hear. It could've been anything generally similar according to a 6 yr olds interpretation of 'exactly'. It works though, keeps the movie moving.

Cool reaction,as usual! All the LW movies are entertaining, the first is the best (IMO), like maybe a '9', the next two are about '8'. The 4th one is maybe a '7', just because they were trying a little too hard to come up with something a little different. The two leads are still excellent, and the various others are definitely good (no 'C-list' actors!), it's just that the story ... well, decide for yourself, but I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Looking forward to watching your reactions! P.S. - BTW, I *definitely* liked your _"A Christmas Carol"_ reaction!

Ooohh Hell yeah you should definitely watch the rest you can't not just stop at the first film it only gets better

23:55 I had to laugh when you wondered rug the bad guys had a tracker on our boys when Riggs got shot. We were in our technological infancy at the time. Although pagers were developed in the 50’s or 60’s they didn’t come into everyday use until the 80’s. Answering machines that used cassette tapes had just come into common household use and everyone had Pac-Man fever. Lol Since they’re working with CIA it’d be easy enough to get their location from the station.
