Lethal Weapon

Director's cut looks slightly squeezed to me - or is it me? I'm certainly not squeezed - rather, broadened.

My favourite line is something like "When I was 19 I took out a guy in Laos at 1000 yards in high wind. Only eight or ten people in the world could have done that." Following that it's then a little disappointing when he doesn't perform like the self-proclaimed crack shot he is, e.g. following the assassination by helicopter.

In an interesting footnote Wikipedia informs us that 'The science of long-range sniping came to fruition in the Vietnam War. Carlos Hathcock held the record from 1967 to 2002 at 2,286 m (2,500 yards).
