    The chemistry between the two is a huge part of what makes this movie timeless. The older, seasoned police officer and the younger, military vet with a few issues but a strong sence of right and wrong and an almost fearless devotion to the job of effectively policing is pure magic.

      You completly missed the FACT that Martin Riggs, although fearless and indifferent toward his own death WAS doing much needed work as a police officer. A NOBLE thing for the betterment of society and IF he was killed along the way then he was OK with that. He DID take people to jail too and not simply capitalise on his killing skills BUT when in harms way he would revert back to the mindset and the training to stop the threat, on its tracks.

      Met a military vet in trade school. Administrative-type. He told me of when he was young and joined the military in order to get away from home. He said that he got really good at "his job" but when he came home there was no place for someone with "his skills and qualifications". So he went to college and became an athlete. Really nice guy. Took me a week to realize "his job" was killing people. Can't imagine what kind of life that must be.

    With all due respect, if it not boasting, your partner deserves to know your capabilities, good or bad.Your mental fitness is called into question, your new partner has only a file to go by,is it not common sense to be honest, clear the air, and say "this is who I am,what I have become, and what I can do."

      @ramjb Před 3 lety +4

      It's not boasting but it's something he would not be very willing to go around talking about. His take on himself is that he's good for only one thing: killing people. Which is not a very nice trait to have (at least if you're not a fucking psycho), nor one a lot of people will react very nicely to.
      as for being honest I think Riggs was exactly that since the get go with Murtaugh. His first real talk was about him being fucked because nobody wanted to work with him. His second real talk involved a gun aimed to his head and him clearly stating that he's barely hanging there instead of killing himself. If Riggs was something since the very beginning with Murtaugh it was honest.

      @@Johno1992 he doesn't come anywhere near to the Riggs character portrayed by Mel. Riggs is a very complicated character. A full of energy, adventurous, thrill seeking-no bullshit character who became a Vietnam war special forces veteran, who in turn ended up battling with loss while feeling suicidal in an attempt to find meaning in life again through his job and his new friend and partner. I am sorry but Mel not just nails that psychological profile in the first LW but far exceeds any expectations to the point that you question whether he is like that himself. CC was good, but I am sorry he is nowhere near Mel's performance; that role was made for him, period.

That's just my humble opinion. For TV he is good but there is a reason why Mel is an A list actor and Crawford has made it on TV mostly. I think Mel raised the bar too high and owned the role of Martin Riggs that anyone after him seems mediocre.

    Here's a rant... I know this is Mel's/Riggs scene...But for me after Riggs shares his truth, it's about the guy he can do so with, Roger, another vet, but not just. He is what Riggs wasnt able to become...just yet, a patriot, a husband, a father, a citizen who understands civic duty and is righteously vengeful towards the wicked and evil, loyal to a code every good man Hope's to uphold.

      Riggs *could have* had his wife not died: That broke him. But, also note that haunted sadness in his voice when he says: ''It's the only thing I was ever good at.'' He doesn't *like* the fact that that's the only thing he was ever good at, and, had he said that to anyone else, at another time, they would have just blown him off as bragging. He needed to be able to say that to Roger - a father-figure - who could actually listen and take it in, and know that it's not bragging at all, but genuine sadness that his only God-given talent, is killing...

    I used to think that sequels to this film failed in comparison, but I've kind of realized that the two sequels were pretty good. The fourth would have been good if it didn't feel like the actors were going through rehearsal. By the time the fourth one came along Mel Gibson had won his Oscars and I think he was tired of the franchise, but was enticed by the paycheck. Frankly, the best thing about the fourth one was the trailer when Chris Rock said "it's going to be a lethal summer".

    In real life, Murtaugh would tell their colleagues and they'd make him prove it by shooting a pumpkin from 1000 yards the next day.

      @@markjoey1852 O.K. 1000 yards is almost a kilometer. In dead still wind shooting north to south or south to north on a cool morning with low humidity... maaayyyybe. It's a pot shot. Laos doesn't have that. High winds ....... Luck. To Mark how do you know wind is faster than 5 mph visually? What is the Coriolis effect at 1000 yards? What is coriolis shooting at 280 degrees. What is the direction of the wind? Is the wind steady across 1000 yards and total flight time of 1.2 seconds. Hold over of more then 32 feet? You can't dope it out and high winds you can't dope it out. The BC of the bullet to the wind. Pushing "water" at what RH. Mark they didn't have targeting computers in vietnam. So a lot luck with a little skill to swag. It's not like call of duty. Anything past 600 meters is long range. Air is heavy and gravity doesn't take a day off. Sniper don't zero at 1000 yards. If they had to make the shot outside of 500 meters forget about it. Also at that time 30-06 with a wood stock which is a pig. Carlos Hatchcock did 2.2 km with a M-2 but luck... lot of luck.

    Highly overrated scene. What is SOOOO special about his delivery? A delivery is a delivery. Nearly all actors in Hollywood share the same level of skill. Sean Penn could've delivered this with the same "intensity". So could Tom Hanks. So could Dennis Quaid. So could a thousand other blokes. Only a very few exceptionally shitty actors (e.g. William Shatner) would've struggled with this scene. So let's not put Gibson on a mighty pedestal.

    Can I just say that, a sniper of any American or European army would never boast about a thousand yard hit.

      Rigg's comment about his kill was because that very day they almost died in a gun fight. Sgt Murtaugh just want a easy time before retirement, and gets a partner extremely unstable. So, Riggs (in this scene) is trying to show what kind of environment he came from. Sorry for my lack of english.
