10 Confusing Movie End Credits FINALLY Explained
10. Lethal Weapon 3 - Producers Bring Down A Hotel As A Favour
After the credits had come to their eventual conclusion at the end of 1992's Lethal Weapon 3, those fans left in the cinema who'd been patiently waiting for the lights to come up in their screen were treated to an extra dose of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover squabbling in a car.
In the opening scene of the film, Riggs and Murtaugh inadvertently blow up a building and are abruptly sentenced to patrol duty. However, in this post-credit extra scene, the pair (or rather their stunt doubles) are seen driving up to yet another building which could be about to blow after receiving a bomb threat.
Riggs can be heard telling Murtaugh that the bomb squad isn't here yet, before trying to get out of the car to take a closer look. Then, as Murtaugh desperately tries to convince him to stay in the vehicle, the building begins to explode and the pair speed away as the bricks crumble to the ground.
At a glance, this scene may just seem like a reckless piece of action fun. However, it was later revealed that the building was actually the 68 year-old Soreno Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the film's producers had agreed to help bring down the structure after it was decided that it would be demolished for redevelopment.
