am I the only one that doesn't mind when a movie is "dated"?

I hugelyu disagree.

It is more effective than the Die Hard score and similar in many ways. Same composer and it's very obvious.

Note that none of the songs used in Lethal Weapon are from the 1980's. 


I accept the fact that you hate the score as much as I disagree with you, but it is nothing about it that screams 1980's to me.

The Terminator is far more 1980's in feel to me than Lethal Weapon.
