Action Movie For The Day - LETHAL WEAPON 2 (1989)

Lethal Weapon 2
This is back before Mel Gibson went off the deep end and was making some good action movies.
Actually one of the rare sequels that tops the original. Bigger action, loads of humor, great villians, and the chemistry between Mel and Danny is solid. The boys take on dirty South African diplomats that is on from the opening chase scene. And by bringing in Joe Pesci, LW2 ups the humor quotient. One of the best sequels and best action flicks ever made.

B+

Murtaugh: "I'm going die on a toilet, aren't I?"
Riggs: "Guys like you don't die on toilets."

Action Movie Of The Day: THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981)

Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior)
In your face full throttle action flick. And what's great is, it's done with actual cars and people not none of the CG crap that is everywhere in today's movies. Mel Gibson returns as laconic ex-lawman Max who helps a small colony of survivors battle mohawked savages in the Australian outback. All for the last precious commodity in the world- fuel. Super charged action with thrilling car chases and unbelievable stunts that will leave you gasping. Definitely a must see and must have. They do not make them like this anymore, that's for sure.

Max: "Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tanker. You want to get out of here? You talk to me."
