I heard a rumor that in the end, Riggs getting shot by Rudd was supposed to have killed Riggs at the end, but here, Riggs shrugs off the wounds and survives. Is it true that Riggs was supposed to die at the end?

Would you have him drown after killing Wah Sing Ku, then?

Yeah, well known rumour.
I kind of think Riggs should have died in Lethal Weapon 4. Better character arc. As soon as he seems to have everything settled down and his family life is beginning, bam, he meets another lethal weapon that can take him down.
Death is the standard breach for a complex prize.

Jet Li pretty much single-handedly made 4 a great movie.

Death is the road to awe.

Well, in action movies and video games, I always preferred having the henchman go down first, then kill the main bad guy. I know some James Bond movies that had the henchman as the final enemy of the movie.

It made perfect sense to kill McAllister first, then Joshua.
McAllister was a bitch, oshua was built up to be a badass like Riggs, everybody could see it right from the beginning that they were destined to fight the final bout in the movie.
but they hung him anyway.
Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry.

I hated 1 and 2, though. In the first movie they should have killed Joshua first THEN General McAllister, and 2's ending wasn't as happy as the other three movies.

I can respect thatI just felt that after 2, it got too corny. A lot of the humor was forced. The only thing I loved about 4 was Jet Li. Hated Chris Rock (he needs to stick to stand up comedy, he cants act for shyte). He ruined it for me.
3 was better than 4, but 1&2 were the best.

I've seen all the Lethal Weapon movies. I especially like 3 and 4.

Did you watch 3&4? Wouldn't have been a terrible idea.

I'm glad everyone vetoed the opinion. I wouldn't want Riggs to die either.

The rumor is that Shane Black wanted Riggs to die, and that he left the project when everyone else said no.
