Written by Shane Black and directed by Richard Donner, 1987’s Lethal Weapon offered the classic odd couple pairing throwing together 50 year-old buttoned-down family man Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) with the reckless and suicidal Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson). Everything we need to know about both men is in each’s separate introductory scenes. We find Murtaugh in the chaotic, but loving, house full of his wife and children celebrating his birthday which is in drastic contrast to the hungover Riggs waking up on his trailer on the beach with only his television and dog as company (only one of which survives the morning).
