Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted October 30, 2017 Member Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you thought Danny Glover was "too old for this shit" in 1987. Also, did he not hear the Gibson/Grigorieva tapes? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Ah_Tao Posted February 4, 2018 Member Share Posted February 4, 2018 I really enjoy the series, as it's one of my favorites of all time. I know in the long run that if it were to happen, Riggs will die in the end (like the original script for Lethal Weapon 2). The TV show is good enough by me if they decide not to do it. I just think it's a bit unfortunate that it won't come to life, but it's not over just yet. On 10/30/2017 at 7:55 PM, TibetanWhiteCrane said: Also, did he not hear the Gibson/Grigorieva tapes? To tell you the truth, I honestly couldn't careless what he said. People are still dwindling over this, but yet we're supposed to praise Mike Tyson for being in all these movies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted February 4, 2018 Member Share Posted February 4, 2018 Well, it was mainly meant as a joke. And I ain't praising Mike Tyson for anything. I don't wanna see him try to act and avoided Ip Man 3 mostly cuz of him and his ridiculous character. Don't care about his rape case, he served his time. I just think he's a crap actor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted February 5, 2018 Member Share Posted February 5, 2018 For some reason, Gibson seems to have been forgiven for his transgressions. Granted, he didn't do anything illegal (although, it's obvious he's guilty of some form of abuse) but he's one of the few that have gone unscathed in Hollywood. He seems to have bounced back. Weirdly, I'm kind of glad. He's a massive piece of shit by a like him a lot as an actor and director. It seems like his next film will be a sequel to "The Passion of Christ" so "Lethal Weapon 5" will, I presume, be put back on the shelf until he's ready. In all honesty, I'm not sure whether it will ever get made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ah_Tao Posted February 5, 2018 Member Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yeah I just know that if it does come out, I probably cant watch it if Riggs and/or Murtaugh dies in the end. Anyways, anyone think theyll release the directors cut for the first three on blu ray, even though Richard Donner prefers to keep it at the theatrical versions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted April 19, 2018 Member Share Posted April 19, 2018 The film, which was set to be called Lethal Finale, is most likely not happening now. http://www.slashfilm.com/lethal-weapon-5-dead/ Richard Donner: “I’m ready to do 5. It’s called Lethal Finale. It’s very dark. And we were all set to go and now Warner Bros. is doing their old-fashioned tricks. Not Warner Bros., there’s this guy who runs the studio who’s great but they have these people in the legal department who do the negotiating in the most counter-productive way. They should be sent to a studio and work with the producers and directors and actors, and learn what makes a film, and then negotiate. But it’s just embarrassing.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted January 28, 2020 Member Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) It's in development. Producer Dan Lin dropped the bomb, and both Mel Gibson and Danny Glover along with Richard Donner are interested. But it all depends on the script. (Should Shane Black, who created the original film, go full circle and write the final installment?) https://www.joblo.com/movie-news/gibson-glover-and-richard-donner-are-coming-back-for-lethal-weapon-5 Edited January 28, 2020 by AlbertV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted January 28, 2020 Member Share Posted January 28, 2020 If they weren't "too old for this shit" before, they certainly are now. Glover's 73! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted January 29, 2020 Member Share Posted January 29, 2020 Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Lethal Weapon 4 was a perfectly fine way to end the series with a great villain. They don't need to milk any more money out of the franchise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted January 29, 2020 Member Share Posted January 29, 2020 First one was watchable, the rest were absolute fecal matter... just kept getting worse. Also, isn't Donner like a hundred or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamSeed Posted January 29, 2020 Member Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I love this series but they were pushing it with 4, and surely the Jet Li fight can't be matched now!

Member Cognoscente Posted August 1, 2021 Member Share Posted August 1, 2021 They should have done this after it was okay for Gibson to work in Hollywood again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted August 7, 2021 Member Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think the most suitable guy to the continue the film series one last time would be none other than Shane Black. He wrote the script to the first movie, and was brought back for the second movie creating what was supposed to be a darker and more violent sequel, with Martin Riggs killed off. Shane's original script got ditched by the producers resulting in him leaving the production and his script re-written several times by Jeffrey Boam. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted November 16, 2021 Member Share Posted November 16, 2021 Mel Gibson is currently in talks to direct this movie. More details here. I know Gibson is a confirmed shit head (though a lot of that may have stemmed from substance abuse), but he's a bloody good director. I liked most of the films he's helmed so far. He's proven he can do a variety of action too. Apocalypto, Braveheart and Hacksaw Ridge had solid action sequences. Hopefully, he can include some good set pieces in the final Lethal Weapon film. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
