'They take you take you take you with the cellphone!'


"I know I never lost my momma's phone, took me two and a half hours to make a damn long distance phone call. Four! De-de-de-de, Five! De-de-de-de, oh, I messed up, have to start again. Four! De-de-de-de, Five! De-de-de-de..."

That's got to be some of the funniest stuff you'll ever hear in a Lethal Weapon movie. Anybody else think so?

I was guffawing during that whole scene.

Yeah that's what I want in my action flick. Stand up comedy material. But what can you expect. This movie was made for the sole purpose of ranking in money from the Lethal Weapon name. And BTW, the name doesn't even make sense, when you think about it. Originally, Riggs was considered a Lethal Weapon cause he was a trained killer. But with this movie, Riggs was a washed up old man. Also, just when is Murtaugh gonna retire? When he's 80???

reply

As long as Riggs is around, Murtaugh ain't NEVER gonna retire.

Was your version of the movie censored? I remember Joe Pesci saying:
"They f--- you with the cellphones" as opposed to "take".

Anyway, definitely one of the best funniest scenes in the movie.

The only scene I can think of which surpasses this one was in LW2 when Joe Pesci and Dannny Glover were at the South African consulate:
"One man.. one vote! Free South Africa you **** sob."

Yeah, every time I see the censored version, I find it so distracting.

It was indeed funny...I just wish it wasn't in a LW movie.

This and that God awful laughing gas scene.
