It's becoming pretty hard to find the theatrical cut anywhere, so might have to keep an eye out if you want to see it as well.<br /><br />The reason I reviewed this one is because I am using it in the paper I want to publish, which I FINALLY was able to get a start on towards a proper first draft. It will be a while still till it is done, but shaping up well.<br /><br />As for Gibson slip ups, none that I can remember. By the late 1990s, the Aussie accent Gibson once had was pretty much gone. Shame really, although his american accent is pretty natural these days.Noyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694828358799780115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766006053140908689.post-978138058965925902009-11-24T22:39:04.272-05:002009-11-24T22:39:04.272-05:00This is a film that I've wanted to see for a l...This is a film that I've wanted to see for a long while. I think it's out on Blu-ray, so I'll see if my video store has it on that format next time I'm in a rentin' mood. In related news, I watched Lethal Weapon 2 for the first time over the weekend, and was SHOCKED at how often Mel Gibson lets his Aussie accent show. Like almost once per LINE. It was crazy. I don't remember it being a problem in the first Lethal Weapon, or in any other Mel Gibson film, for that matter. Did you notice any Aussie accent slips in Payback?Druhttp://roverarts.com/author/dru-jeffries/noreply@blogger.com
