i noticed a few subtle nods to mad max 79 and lethal weapon 87


should watch it again.

What were those? I've seen this a couple of times, good movie, I kinda feel like rewatching it now.

i have to watch it again, only saw it when it came out, but i remember some of the things he did to fight back against the gang, something with the car. i'll post back here in a few days.

maybe not a subtle as i remember, though i may watch it a 3rd time soon because i think i may have missed some mad max nods i noticed the first time, and i enjoyed it much more the 2nd time around ..

but this is what i noticed so far ..

the itch in your daddy's pants line michael parks says is lifted from danny glover in lethal weapon
the truck hitting the motorcycle guy plus the shootout they have is very much mad max 79
gibson sharing and talking about his past wounds is very much like lethal weapon 3 when he is with rene russo
the interaction behind the car as they are being shot at and then deciding to go on the count of 3 is very much like the lw films in general as well as the lw4 opening
