1 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: About 2/3 through the film, Colt heads to Luger's house because he's checking to see if he's in trouble. As Colt quietly and slowly ascends the staircase, a shadow of a guy's hand can be seen creeping towards Colt, but pulls back when Colt turns around. This shadowy figure is never heard from again. |
2 | * ClicheStorm: Parodied with this exchange: |
3 | -->'''Gen. Morters:''' Where's the microfilm, Mike? |
4 | -->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' I don't know, I gave it to York. I thought she was one of your men. |
5 | -->'''Gen. Morters:''' Act in haste, repent in leisure. |
6 | -->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' But he who hesitates is lost. |
7 | -->'''Gen. Morters:''' Never judge a book by its cover. |
8 | -->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' What you see is what you get. |
9 | -->'''Gen. Morters:''' Loose lips, sink ships... |
10 | -->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' [[Music/TheBeatles Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing or fighting, my friend.]] |
11 | -->''[Gen. Morters, cornered, looks to Mr. Jigsaw]'' |
12 | -->''[Mr. Jigsaw consults Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, shakes his head]'' |
13 | -->'''Gen. Morters:''' Sorry Mike, no good. |
14 | * HilariousInHindsight: Luger and [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Frozone]] both use Hai Karate and are both played by Samuel L. Jackson. |
15 | ** Colt and Luger at one point commandeer a couple of kids bicycles. A few years later, [[Film/LethalWeapon in Lethal Weapon 4]] Murtuagh does the same thing. |
16 | ** A villain named "Jigsaw?" [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Why does that sound familiar?]] |
17 | * HoYay: During the ''[[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Silence of the Lambs]]'' parody: |
18 | -->'''Leacher''': Look to a man with whom you were involved. |
19 | -->[Colt reminisces holding hands with a biker and skipping on a beach] |
20 | -->'''Leacher''': No, not him. It was in Vietnam. |
21 | -->[Colt reminisces holding hands with a Vietnamese man and skipping on a beach] |
22 | -->'''Leacher''': No, you disappoint me, Mr. Colt. It was Mortars. General Mortars. |
23 | -->[Colt starts to reminisce, then looks disgusted] |
24 | -->'''Colt''': Wait a minute! I never- |
25 | -->'''Leacher''': I didn't mean ''that'' kind of involvement. |
26 | * RedundantParody: Brought up by Creator/RogerEbert in his negative review of the movie; he says the movie is a satire of the ''Film/LethalWeapon'' movies, which it is, but he argues that the ''Lethal Weapon'' series itself is a satire, what with the main character jumping off a building handcuffed to another character, and another person sitting on a toilet rigged with a bomb while the news media films it live, etc. |
27 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/DeniseRichards appears as an extra in one scene. |
28 | * SpiritualSuccessor: To the ZAZ spoofs. |
