Lethal Weapon (1987) – The Blueprint for all Buddy Cop Films

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Directed by: Richard Donner

Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, some guy that awkwardly holds egg nog.

Strangely moving into a movie that some might consider a Christmas movie (and I guess we do, or else we wouldn't be talking about it right now) is the venerable Lethal Weapon, where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are the odd couple of policing. Did this set the stage for just about every buddy cop movie that comes after it. Someone on this show makes that argument. IMDB.com describes Lethal Weapon as: “Two newly paired cops who are complete opposites must put aside their differences in order to catch a gang of drug smugglers.“
