"You do this my way. You shoot, you shoot to kill, get as many of them as you can. All you got to do is just not miss. Martin Riggs
Played By: Mel Gibson
Film: Lethal Weapon 1-4
Why He's On The List: The role that persuaded Franco Zefferelli that Gibson would make a great Hamlet, on paper Martin Riggs seems like your run-of-the-mill cop on the edge. Gibson did play Riggs as a wild-eyed nutcase but, armed with Shane Black's wonderful dialogue, also conveyed the desperation of a man who wants to live, but has forgotten how.
Finest Hour: His brutal fight with Gary Busey's Mr. Joshua at the end of the first film.
