A movie in which Danny Glover reprises his role in the "Lethal Weapon" movies. Now retired, he is travelling with his family on a long-distance railway luxury holiday across Europe when he becomes (inevitably) embroilled in all sorts of crime and mayhem and gratuitous violence and destruction, thus requiring
his former partner - portrayed by Mel Gibson - to come to his assistance.
Hilarity ensues.
Working title: "Murtaugh on the Orient Express" ...

I was expecting training involving a control panel
covered with various red buttons marked "Moscow",
"Beijing", "Tehran", "Pyongyang", "Detroit"... |
|
|
...or just normal 'weapons training' such as new army recruits receive, but just carried out with a greater degree of carelessness than usual, leading to tragic consequences. |
|
|
You did read the bit about "Hilarity ensues", didn't you ? |
|
|
Even with the maximum of care and attention, training accidents involving live weapons occur all too often, and are almost never a cause of any sort of amusement whatsoever. |
|
|
Very occasionally, it's just someone getting covered in mud, or getting a right ding on the helmet, or a facefull of sand. Then, yes, there is laughter, but usually of a nervous sort along the lines of "That was a bit too close, actually ... could have been me" and some quiet contemplation later. |

Only if Joe Pesci joins somewhere and says 'okay
okay okay
okay okay okay...' |

Please do not adjust your mind. Normal callous brutality will be restored as soon as possible. |

We may have Assimilated a little too much* of [MB]'s vintage** Albanian sherry***, purely in the spirit of "Christmas cheer". |
|
|
**an alcoholic beverage extracted from a car constructed in the period 1919 to 1930. |
|
|
***Apparently there's no such thing as a Trades Descriptions Act in Albania. Or sherry, either; and all the antifreeze on sale is a suspicious pale brown colour. |
