In the opening scene where Murtaugh strips down to create a diversion; that scene is believed to be the comedic version of the same scenario from the movie Ricochet (1991) where Denzel's character, who is also a cop outside in the night shooting a bad guy, strips down to his undies to gain the criminal's trust only to shoot him with his back-up gun tucked between his spine and his fruit-of-the-loom tag. Director Richard Donner was watching old cop movies from the early 90s when looking for inspiration for the fourth movie in the tetralogy and stumbled across Denzel's work and thought it would be entertaining to put a funny twist on the same sequence and knew it would fit perfectly with the characters/story he had to work with.
