Missed opportunity for his parents to call him Danny. Then he could say "I'm getting too old for this shit".

That line appeared in "To Live and Die in LA" in exactly the same circumstances two years before "Lethal Weapon". TLaDLA also had the first wrong way car chase that's now a staple of every action movie. It's funny how it was so influential in the industry but has so little lingering cultural impact.
