Mel Gibson and Danny Glover Have Surprise “Lethal Weapon” Reunion, 38 Years After Film's Release

They definitely aren't too old for this.

On Friday night, Feb. 7, fans got a surprise when Danny Glover walked into Mel Gibson's panel during the MegaCon fan convention in Orlando.

Gibson, 69, was giving a talk on the most iconic roles in his career — and the roles he passed on, including James Bond and Gladiator's Maximus — when Glover, 78, ascended the stage, getting a standing ovation from the crowd.

Gibson and Glover starred together in 1987's Lethal Weapon, going on to reprise their roles as Los Angeles police detectives Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, respectively, in 1989's Lethal Weapon 2, 1992's Lethal Weapon 3 and 1998's Lethal Weapon 4. They won an MTV Movie Award in 1993 for best on-screen duo for their work on the third film.

Collectively, the movies made nearly $1 billion at the international box office.

The franchise also spawned a TV series, which ran from 2016 to 2019 and starred Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans in the lead roles.

Gibson and Glover have reunited several times over the years, most recently in 2017, when they participated in an Academy Tribute to Richard Donner, the films' director.
