In de aankomende editie van Empire zijn Mel Gibson, Danny Glover en regisseur Richard Donner samengebracht vanwege de 25e verjaardag van hun film Lethal Weapon. Tijdens het gesprek hebben Donner en Gibson het over Lethal Weapon 5, als deze er ooit zou zijn gekomen. Het gesprek ging als volgt:
Donner: There was a fifth one that I would have loved to have made. Shane Black wrote another treatment, which I never saw...
Donner: Oh. But we had a totally different story. The two crazies decide to cool their lives, but it's impossible for them to stay out of situations. It starts with Riggs and Murtaugh out in the country in a motorhome. They're on a trip and they stop to get gas, but Roger forgets to put the brake on. So the motorhome rolls through a village, annihilating everything, and they get in serious trouble. It had a lot of heart, a lot of family. Rene (Russo, who played Lorna Cole), Darlene (Love, who played Trish Murtaugh), they would all have come back.
Wat vinden jullie? Is het goed dat ze zijn gestopt na Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)? Of zouden jullie die vijfde ook wel willen zien?
