LETHAL WEAPON DRUG BUST DEAL ACTION SPOOF AT ITS MOST HILARIOUS

If you want the ultimate mixture of spoof, action and pisstake from just one movie sequence, then the opening classic drug bust scene in the first Lethal Weapon movie would have to be up there with the best
of them. 

Mel Gibson has turned out to be a bit crazy in real life, like the character Martin Riggs whom he brought to life in Lethal Weapon and three further sequels which followed this brilliantly witty and engaging debut.

Have a look at some of the comments to the You Tube video and it`s obvious that a lot of people out there don't think Mel was ever acting in his movies. 

Was he just being himself on film like Jack Nicholson or someone like Jim Carrey is
famous for? 

Watching this scene in Lethal Weapon always cracks me up, I think it has got to be the most unintentionally funny scene in any action movie ever. 

The sort of spoof which you would have expected from Eddie Murphy in Beverley Hills Cop but a whole lot more sinister.

Instead of sticking bananas up tailpipes to get even with the baddies like Axel Foley did, Riggs AKA Mel Gibson meets up with three drug dealers with a hundred bucks, not a hundred thousand, in his wallet. 

After the white powder taste test which is all good to the tip of Rigg`s tongue, the baddies tell him what`s owed for the drugs, which is `a hundred`. 

Thinking Riggs is a druggie himself and 
not a crazy son of a bitch cop, they assume he knows the lingo of the drug biz and that `a hundred` means `a hundred thousand`.

As Riggs starts counting a hundred out on the table right in front of the three crooks, a face-off ensues between the ringleader and
Riggs and a couple of expletives are used by the ringleader to describe how dumb Riggs must be to think 100 bucks will buy him the
whole shipment of drugs as agreed upon.

By which time Riggs is in full swing in crazy mode and he starts slapping his face and then he mockingly eye gouges the three crooks who are standing side by side, quickly enough to distract them for long enough to pull his revolver on them.

I will let you work out the rest, be warned that there is a lot of expletives used in this movie clip, so if you don't want to hear swearing don't listen to it.

If you can handle some swearing in the name of getting a laugh, then I would say
look no further than what Martin Riggs always done best - and that is go bananas.
