You could tell the moment they were in a scene together that Mel Gibson and Danny Glover had something special here. Add director Richard Donner's dynamite direction and you have an instant success. I love the original as Busey plays the perfect bad guy here and Gibson really takes off as our hero. America truly fell in love with Mel here as a charming and lovable but yet lethal and dangerous cop set out to take on all the bad guys. The action is non stop, the chemistry starts to unfold and the viewer is just along for the ride in this first installment of a four movie franchise. All we needed was a love interest for Riggs......hint, hint..........
