Who would watch a Leathal Weapon 5 with just Mel Gibson?


Since Martin Riggs is the Lethal Weapon Maybe Murtaugh has been Murdered and it doesn't make add up since he's been retired for awhile

It wouldn't be the same without Murtaugh and his whole family. I loved the chemistry between them all.

How old is Mr. Gibosn 70?

Although I'm amazed Clint E is still here

Dan Lin, who produced the recent Lethal Weapon TV show, says that the original Murtaugh and Riggs may be going on one last adventure.

“We’re trying to make the last Lethal Weapon movie,” Lin said, “And [Richard] Donner’s coming back. The original cast is coming back. And it’s just amazing. The story itself is very personal to him. Mel and Danny are ready to go, so it’s about the script.”

I guess this means Mel Gibson’s exile from Hollywood is officially over. It’s hard to say exactly when it ended. Getting nominated for Oscars was a pretty clear sign that he was mostly forgiven.

It has been 22 years since the last Lethal Weapon (which wasn’t great). Gibson is 64 and Glover is 73. What do you think? One more Lethal Weapon or have you had enough already?

Let his oldest daughter come in and take his place. She is hot.

Past the torch to a younger buddy cops.

I love the Lethal Weapon film series and would watch a 5th, although it's a terrible idea since they are way too old. If it was just Gibson, it wouldn't be right. The pair and how they clash has always been what's funny.

yeah I would

I mean I would... I watch anything Mel makes. But I sure as hell wouldn't enjoy it.

With just Mad Mel? probably not but I'm pretty sure he would do a great job.
Now, if they add Murtaugh I'd definitely watch it.
