Official Trailer for LETHAL WEAPON on FOX

"The iconic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh are back in the all-new FOX Series LETHAL WEAPON. Don't miss them as they work in a crime-ridden modern-day LA."

"Based on the hit movie franchise of the same name, LETHAL WEAPON follows iconic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh, as they work a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles. From the moment the brash and impulsive MARTIN RIGGS (Clayne Crawford, “Rectify”) meets prudent, by-the-book ROGER MURTAUGH (Emmy Award nominee Damon Wayans, Sr., “My Wife and Kids,” “In Living Color”), it seems as if this partnership is doomed. But after their first case together, both realize this arrangement might just work out after all – if only Riggs doesn’t get them killed first."

I was trying to think of any "odd couple" flicks and projects, but I realized they are all one and the same, regardless of genre, time period, even nationality. The "straight-lacced" guy versus the "crazy guy". (somewhat) interchangeable with genders too.

Damon Wayans, Sr. reminded me exactly of his role as detective "Rock Keats" in the 1996 film "Bulletproof" against Adam Sandler (which I just watched again on cable not more than a month ago), while Clayne Crawford's sometimes "blur-blur-What-Did-I-Do?"-look could be fun … I've enjoyed my celluloid run with Mel Gibson, although I didn't LOVE it enough to cry "REHASH", so we'll see … although I'd happily see a reboot of "Beverly Hills Cop" tho :p
