The 1987 buddy cop classic "Lethal Weapon" kicked off one of Hollywood's most successful action franchises, with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover playing mismatched partners hunting down drug dealers. The movie showcased real locations throughout its shooting location, including which actual police department?
▼
Correct Answer: Los Angeles Police Department
The Los Angeles Police Department helped cement its pop culture status when stars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover spent weeks shadowing real LAPD officers to prepare for their roles as Riggs and Murtaugh. While the actors learned proper police procedure, they apparently skipped the department's "no jumping off buildings or blowing stuff up" training sessions.
