don't really know much about Clayne Crawford; but oddly enough, he's got a movie later this year called "Warrior Road"

I always wanted to punch him in the face on Rectify, but that might just be the character.

Edit to add....

Strange I guess that means there are two people on this show I want to punch in the face. I swear I'm not that violent.

It does seem like some odd casting for both the leads. Anyone wanna bet this thing never goes to air - or does it already have an episode commitment?

DJariya

Oh I remember him. If any of you watch NCIS: New Orleans (which most of this forum probably doesn't ) He played Lucas Black's trouble-making brother for a few episodes.

I don't know I can't see him as Riggs. He kind of reminds me of a young Greg Evigan.

He was also on 24's 8th season. He played Katee Sackhoff's abusive scumbag ex-husband.

The lethal weapon movies were really above average action movies with GREAT chemistry between Gibson and Glover

No TV pairing will ever have that chemistry

This may end up being ok and watchable Hollywood should make TV shows based on movies with unique premises, not just movies which did well

Daman Wayans seems WAY too old for this shit... he's 55 while Danny Glover was only around 40 when he did the first Lethal Weapon. He's already older than Glover was for Lethal Weapon 4. Heck, even Clayne Crawford is a bit old to be playing the 'young renegade' (37 vs 31 as Mel was when LW1 came out).

People are younger today than 30 and 40 somethings were in the 80s. Wilfred Brimley was 49 when Cocoon made, even though he appeared 104.

Ordered to series today. Will premiere next season. Expect a trailer soon. Up fronts coming up.

Michael Corvin

Why? Human Target only lasted one season.

Ding. Ding. Ding. It's the actors that make the films work, not the concept. The concept is pretty fucking generic. Same goes for Rush Hour. It's Chan & Tucker that made it work, not the fish out of water pairing.

Deftones

No human target was 2 seasons. 2nd was utter shit

Michael Corvin

You are mistaken. As is Google and IMDB.

DJariya

Here's your 1st look at the new Riggs and Murtaugh.

B.A.

The reboot for the second season was completely unnecessary.

Blah.

mwbmis

So that was just a nightmare that I had?

Original Desmond

I'm just about ready to kick the Rush hour tv show to the curb

I can't see this doing well UNLESS it has Strike Back/Banshee quality action scenes

Michael Corvin

yes. We all collectively had the same nightmare.

DJariya

I know you all have been waiting with great anticipation for this. 1st Lethal Weapon trailer

TheMovieman

@1:04 says it all for this series.

Original Desmond

looks about the same quality as Rush hour

so i'll give it a shot , but it will need to impress me in the first 5 episodes

After 1 or 2, the movie tie in novelty wears off that it needs to stand alone

Rush Hour hasn't done that.

dex14

Fuck this.

Deftones

saying it didn't happen, doesn't make it so, unfortunately.

yeah, this doesn't look good. i do like they used the same house exterior for Murtaugh as they did in the movies.

mrhan

I'd stick with it if they don't hold back the Nazi shit.

Whatever happened to creativity and originality? Tired of reboots. Want something new!
