The Action Movie CL: QF 3 - Lethal Weapon v Raiders

[Tubey]

QUARTER FINAL 3 - LETHAL WEAPON (1987) vs. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)

LETHAL WEAPON (1987)

Defeated MAD MAX 2 in Round One. 25 (71.4%) votes to 10 (28.6%) (35 total).

Mel beat Mel in Round 1, and thus sets up this intriguing Quarter Final clash.

Lethal Weapon was such a top film that it was able to cut scenes like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvAvNfCbQJk - out completely. Madness.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)

Defeated ENTER THE DRAGON in Round One. 31 (64.6%) to 17 (35.4%) (48 total).

Raiders showed it's heavyweight power by managing to knock out the legend Bruce Lee in the first round.

A well known fact, but always worth repeating - in the above picture, Indy was supposed to be involved in a complex sword/whip fight - however, most of the cast where ill, and Ford suggested to Spielberg that he just shoots the guy instead.

That resulted in the funniest and most memorable moment in the movie

So who goes through to the next round - you decide!

Has to be Indy ffs, i think Lethal Weapon is overrated

 

[Blue 1]

How are these two films still in the competition when First Blood has been eliminated? Argh!

Indy, because it's at least a decent film.

 

[Summerskin]

Lethal Weapon.

Mmmm, yes - Indy beat the Nazis with a whip and a hat. Twice. Could Mel Gibson or Danny Glover? I think not.

Raiders. If only for the face-melt at the end.

 

[ToffeeBlueNose]

I like the Lethal Weapons but i've opted for Raiders, getting difficult these choices

 

[Nedakey2004]

Raiders for me

Raiders is in probably in my top 10 personal favourites, so an easy one for me, this.

 

[Elong]

Indy's got this.

 

[Tobin]
