Lethal Weapon (1987)
Starting with the very memorable opening scene — a blonde leaps out of a skyscraper to her death — this Richard Donner film is a snapshot of over-the-top, Reagan-era action movie excess. Audiences loved the solid and dependable Sgt. Murtaugh (Danny Glover) and his erratic, and truly off-the-rails partner Sgt. Riggs (Mel Gibson): The four Lethal Weapon films have grossed a total of almost $500 million.
