Lethal Weapon (1987)

I've wanted to know which of these bitches on the television news is my wife, but that is a trick question. My wife is no bitch.


This was "Murtaugh's" wife in the first "Lethal Weapon," compared with the birthday listed for Patrick Stewart.

From 7/26/1938 to 7/13/1940 is: 718 days

718 / 2 = 359

Mel Gibson
Date of Birth: 3 January 1956

Lethal Weapon (1987) .... Sergeant Martin Riggs



The actor who portrayed the lead bad guy in "Lethal Weapon" was 59 years, 3 months, 3 days, old on 4/14/1987. The movie released in the month previous to that anniversary. I recognize the date of 4/14/1987 as the one-year anniversary of when the prison I was being held at was bombed and I escaped. When this movie was being produced, I assume, my family did not know for certain I had survived that bombing and that I was traveling across Africa to escape my captors.

Mitch Ryan
Date of Birth: 11 January 1928

Lethal Weapon (1987) (as Mitchell Ryan) .... General Peter McAllister



I assume the "Lethal Weapon" movie was timed to release as close as possible to my 28th birthday on Tuesday, 3/3/1987. I guess it was because I was missing in Africa and presumed dead. I further assume that Mel Gibson reversed the roles somewhat and his character's sadness over the death of his wife actually reflects Phoebe and how every one thought I was dead. He is suicidal in the movie, but I think that element reflects me calling in the air strike on the prison I was being held as a human shield. I'm seeing that notion in some other films, such as "Dances With Wolves," or so I assume. But it is different in that Costner movie from how it was in Libya for me. I'll probably detail my thoughts on that notion later, assuming it is relevant to me in the first place.
