Having recently revisited Lethal Weapon for the first time in over a decade (prob bc Mel Gibson sucks), I was shocked at just how much Christmas is on the screen. Here’s some things that make it more Xmassy than DH:
- Opening credits: ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ and girl in a room full of lights and a tree.
- Way more mentions of the approaching holiday.
- An entire scene is set in a Xmas tree lot.
- The finale at the Murtaugh’s home is lit with Christmas!
- In this movie Christmas actually has a thematic role, highlighting how the pain of loving a loved one is particularly brutal at Christmas … This is also key to developing the tortured, on the edge character of Martin Riggs.
Die Hard has a machine gun … Ho Ho Ho
