THE prototypical buddy cop movie has just reached its 35th-anniversary as directed by the late great Richard Donner.

It stars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as the iconic Riggs & Murtaugh – they’re assigned as partners for the first time and needless to say, things are pretty tense off the bat. 

But as they get enveloped in a complicated murder case involving the death of the daughter of one of Murtaugh’s war buddies, they start to uncover a dangerous conspiracy involving ex-military, drug dealers, and a particularly intimidating mercenary named Mr. Joshua played by Gary Busey.  And then things start to get increasingly LETHAL….
