Ladies and gentlemen, we at MfBJN have conclusively proven that Lethal Weapon is a Christmas movie, and we have admitted that Lethal Weapon 2 is not a Christmas movie. But hear me now and believe me later:
Lethal Weapon 2 is an Easter movie.
Now, it is not set during the Easter season that I can tell; however, review the following:’
- Martin Riggs is tortured;
- Riggs carries the means of his execution to the place of execution;
- Riggs “dies”;
- He descends to a watery grave;
- He rises again;
- In his second coming, he brings justice and retribution to the wicked.
You see: It was The Passion of the Christ before Gibson had enough clout to make the movie he really wanted to make.
Follow me for more insight into how the Lethal Weapon movies all deal with important events on the church calendar, and how Bird on a Wire is a documentary.
