Mel Gibson | Lethal Weapon 4

There was a time when Mel Gibson was one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. Indeed, for a single project in 1998, he earned a salary of $30 million — it was for the movie Lethal Weapon 4. The movie is about two cop buddies, Detective Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), and their loved ones who were facing dangers from Chinese mobsters.

As personal crises and age weighed on Detectives Riggs and Murtaugh, they must contend with deadly Chinese triads who are trying to free their former bosses from prison—with the help of some moving company, perhaps? Both detectives square off with Wah Sing Ku, who’s deeply involved in counterfeit currency and slave trading. With the help of Detective Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) and smarty-pants rookie cop Lee Butters (Chris Rock), Detectives Riggs and Murtaugh try to take down Ku and his gang.
