Lethal Weapon 3 : I wish this had a better villian

I wish this had a better villian

They had big name actors in all the lead villain roles in everyone but this, anyone know why they couldn't have hired someone a bit more memorable for this one?

Re: I wish this had a better villian


he is a good villain , just understated

there is a scene where he throws a guy into some cement and he says: theres a foundation we can build on!

good villain with a wicked sense of humour

Re: I wish this had a better villian

Then he tops it off with "Hey stick around we can write our initials" *Evil Laugh"

Re: I wish this had a better villian

yep and that black dude looks in pure disgust and horror😯

@Dr_Stanley_Harford there is a scene where he throws a guy into some cement and he says: theres a foundation we can build on!
Ugh, that gave me flashbacks of the bad jokes in Batman And Robin.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

lethal weapon 3 has nothing to do with batman and robin smoko , no idea what u talk about

Re: I wish this had a better villian

@Dr_Stanley_Harford I'm talking about the "foundation we can build on" joke being terrible, just like the terrible jokes in Batman And Robin.

Basically I'm just repeating what I said before because I don't know how to make it any clearer. If you still have no idea what I'm talking about then I can't help you.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

the "foundation we can build on" joke is hilarious

wheres ur sense of humour??

Re: I wish this had a better villian

he wears some cool suits.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

It was his henchman who threw him in the cement. Not Travis.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

The only thing that bothers me about this villain is that he's able to do some very unlikely ass-kicking on Riggs.

Too bad they didn't get DeNiro, as considered.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

jack travis was a real estate titan too.

DeNiro of today would've done it in a heartbeat

DeNiro of 1992 wouldn't have even considered it

Re: I wish this had a better villian

None of the 4 films have interesting or compelling villains, really.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

None of them have the memorable, over the top screen presence of, say, Hans and Simon from the Die Hard films. In this franchise, it's their nastiness and brutality that makes them stick out. Works for me - well suited to the tone of the movies.


Fichtre! Voila qu'on me tue mes morts.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

Wah Sing Ku from the 4th movie was an interesting and evil villain. I mean he snapped Hong's neck just to intimidate Hong's uncle and then he killed the uncle too once he outlived his usefulness. He also almost burned the entire Murtaugh family alive. Even Roger and Riggs were afraid of him. I found Wah Sing Ku one of the most evil villains in movie history. I found him interesting and compelling. I agree about the villains from the first 3 movies but I have to disagree about Wah Sing Ku from the fourth movie. If you watch the 4th movie again you'll see that Wah Sing Ku was a very evil villain.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

what the villains in 1, 2, and 4 lacked in depth, they made up for in sheer menace, especially in 2, with Vorstedt confessing to Riggs about killing his wife on accident, and practically rubbing it in his face

Re: I wish this had a better villian

The weakest villain in the entire franchise.

Dull, uninteresting, not menacing, just tedious.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

The villains in 2 and 4 were the best.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

I wrote in a previous thread here long ago (now deleted) that I felt that the movie would had punched above its weight if Travis, this movie's villain, was revealed to be the killer of Riggs' wife instead of what happened in LW2.

If Donner and the writers went along that line. That would have been a better way to bookend the franchise as a trilogy IMO.

Re: I wish this had a better villian

From what I remember, the villain in LW3 was really fucking mean. A real SOB.

Most of the Lethal Weapon villains weren't famous. Only Busey was really known to American audiences.
