Of course the sniper is a bald guy.

@VictoriousTrojan This scene is obviously an alternative to the cocaine dealer Christmas-tree shoot-out. You can't have two scenes where the hero kills people just going about his daily business. They were going for something called "plausibility," which is kind of a moot consideration by "Lethal Weapon 4," admittedly. Even Dirty Harry only stumbles across one robbery in progress per film.

wish I had the boxset

@bynarr123 This scene is part of the Director's Cut of Lethal Weapon. It was part of a DVD box set of the extended versions of the Lethal Weapon films. As far as I know, I think the new blu ray release set are just the standard versions. I much prefer the extended cuts. There are a few extra scenes to the first film, as well as this "school-yard sniper" scene. I've got the box set of the Director's Cut of Lethal Weapon films...well worth it. It might still be available I think?

was this a deleted scene?

[tdizz88]

what lousy shot he was, he must've been an air force sniper because he sure as hell wasn't a marine sniper

@jboritzki I like the enhanced sounds of Mel's weapon as a round is chambered and pulling the hammer back, plus the fact that he basically walks right up in front of the shooter and the shooter still misses him with an automatic rifle. A regular beat cop that knows his shit and is a good shot would have observed the snipers poor technique and taken him out immediately. No need to call in some desk jocky detective. While this scene is not very believable, it does looks cool.
