Quotes
Martin Riggs: I'm surprised you haven't heard of me, I got a bad reputation, like sometimes I just go nuts like now ha ha!

Martin Riggs: Hey, this is a real nice hobby room. All you need now is a hobby!
Share this
Arjen "Aryan" Rudd: You see, my dear, the policies of our government are not very popular in this country. And the police force in this city is *overrun* with blacks. They have badges and guns and they *hate* us. Our consulate staff, particularly myself, will always be victims of their harassment.

Q
What does the word 'kaffir' mean?
A
'Kaffir' is a South African ethnic slur referring to a black person.
Q
What are krugerrands?
A
They are a South African monetary unit made mostly of solid gold (with a little copper thrown in). The chief monetary unit of South Africa is called the "rand". When Riggs & Murtaugh find them in the opening scene, they are seized by the police as evidence.
Q
Is the stilt house real in the movie?
A
Yes and no. The house that's destroyed in the movie was a replica built on a backlot at Warner Studios. The real house was used as a shooting location but it's still standing at 7436 Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills. It was designed by a man named John Lautner, who was a famous architect.
