Description from the seller
Lethal Weapon (1987) Movie Script (Copy)
Complete screenplay including 129 pages
Revised Final Draft dated July 26, 1986 with the latest revisions included through September 3, 1986 (Yellow Pages)
Directed by Richard Donner
Written by Shane Black
Lethal Weapon became one of the defining action films of the 1980s, starring Mel Gibson as reckless LAPD detective Martin Riggs and Danny Glover as veteran detective Roger Murtaugh. Combining explosive action, sharp humor and emotionally driven character dynamics, the film created a formula that would influence the buddy-cop genre for decades. This rare production draft captures the film during its shooting phase, complete with late revision pages that document changes made throughout production.
The screenplay is especially important for revolutionizing modern action storytelling with its mix of intense violence, fast-paced dialogue and complex character relationships. Shane Black’s script helped redefine the structure and tone of Hollywood action films, inspiring countless imitators and establishing a new standard for the genre throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.
Did you know?
Our scripts come directly from the USA. They are easy to recognize because they have the standard U.S. paper size. Typically, people use A4-sized paper (297mm in height) to make fan copies of scripts. This paper size is not used in the United States; they use letter-sized paper (279mm in height). This is noticeable because this scripts usually have black lines at the top and bottom, showing that the original paper size used to copy (any American script) is smaller than A4.
Also, our scripts have been preserved under the strictest climate control standards in HVAC-R conditions, both during storage and throughout the packaging process. As a result, a label is applied after sealing them, as shown in the photos. They are bound in the same way that vault copies of scripts are preserved, without any oxidizable materials that could damage the paper. They are carefully packed in bubble wrap and placed in a cardboard box to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
