Am I the only one who missed this?

[Matt in Virginia]

I generally watch Lethal Weapon once a year at Christmas as a bare minimum. Clearly I didn't buy the Director's Cut...

Hello, Mr. Sniper Sir!

Regards, Matt.

I recorded Lethal Weapon on VHS from HBO. It was the regular theatrical release. Years later, I was flipping through cable channels and saw the scene prior. I didn't know it was Lethal Weapon so I continued watching. I then see Riggs in the old beater and thought, I don't remember that. It's cool though, I now have the director's cut.

I bought this,as new brown leather,M/C wannabe jacket from Goodwill 5 or so years ago for a whopping $3.50.... It fits,and gets worn when around my hotrod crowd of friends,for what that's worth.

"I know this jacket from somewhere"? kept gnawing at me. Dang,must be getting O.L.D. or something? Went maybe 6 months,or so and was watching one of the Lethal Weapon movies and there's "my" jacket!!!! Rigs is wearing my freakin jacket!!!

Got on evilbay and they're worth, a used ADL from one of your buds. That's my only Lethol Weapon story.

How did he shoot through the chain link fencing?

Script approval.
From the brief look, that looked like a M-1 Carbine in the hands of the “sniper”. Or a mini-14.

But then it is a Mel Gibson movie. Almost as realistic as Braveheart.

Looks like an M1-A. He pulls back the slide to check the chamber then drops the hammer, and then cocks it before he shoots......

Ennio morricone was a helluva composer...

My kid has good eyes and says the pistol rounds have spent primers as well...

 

[Rustytigwire]

I saw the percussion cap nipples for cf cartridge and Lee Van Cleef missing joint of finger right hand middle.
Trigger looks like a short pull for sure.
Spent primers ++ good eye Son of fellow Okie!

Sadly, he passed last July - may he rest in peace. An immense talent for sure.

Looked like an M14/M1A to me... Awful big magazine for 5.56.

I dunno on the Braveheart inaccuracies. My recollection of the battle at Stirling Bridge is foggy at best. I remember a tear in my kilt and then slipped on a moss covered stone and bumped my head. Woke up in time for the celebration. Damned shame I didn't have a camcorder. Falkirk WAS bloody and Edward WAS a grand pri$k...

What's wrong with Mel Gibson? Few people have ever pulled off being a hell of an actor, a director, writer, and producer. Who else has done that?

Passion of the Christ was a "career killing" movie. He grossed six hundred million plus... Who else has the stones to make that in Hollyweird? The biggest Super Pac in Washington is AIPAC. Israel's main lobby and the Jew's hated that movie. I also have to keep in mind the reason the F-22 was ordered by Congress was not to sell that aircraft to anyone, largely due to Israel's close relationship to China. They've become chummy in the extreme. Allies?

Regards, Matt.
