    One of the best of the show

    Almost perfect. I can't believe though that Netflix DELETED this episode from their catalogue. Also s09e09 was deleted where It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia -gang make Lethal Weapon number Six. It is such a slap in the face from these big streaming companies to work like bullies and delete these episodes for their own ideological purposes.

    These episodes are both edgy, smart and apolitical material which shows the ludicrous and hilarious way how other ethic group think about others. Also you have acknowledge the bow towards our generations beat 80s and 90s action movies. The censorship has to end.

    Finally got a chance to watch this...

    Amazing, genuinely hilarious episode. This is obvious but still, it's just so freaking funny. I understand this and a few other episodes were banned due to black, brown and yellow face and while 'America's next top paddy model' and 'The gang recycles their trash' could be seen as racist, this is certainly not the case with 'Dee shapes America's youth' and 'The gang makes lethal weapon 6'. Nice to see running gags from previous episodes. Great to see callbacks from other episodes. If you have been an It's Always Sunny fan for a while or are a new fan, this is an incredible half hour of television. It may not be the greatest It's Always Sunny episode but it's certainly an entertaining, fun, hilarious one.

    Lethal Weapon 5 was a pleasant surprise

    Being a movie produced by the gang, I was expecting a disaster of a film. However, I thought it was really good. It made me want a full length film of it

    • Trivia
      Streaming sites such as Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ have removed this episode as of 2020 due to the black-face theme featured throughout.
    • Goofs
      In the ending scene with Charlie, Dee, and the Juggalo in black face talking to the principal there is an orange that appears out of nowhere on the principal's desk just before Charlie picks it up to begin eating it.
    • Quotes

      Dee Reynolds: Okay, I know you all are super stoked to be watching a movie in a bar. But we're just gonna keep it on the down low, you know what I mean? We don't need your parents and the principal finding out. It's just our little secret.

      Lisa: I've been in a bar before.

      Dee Reynolds: No, you haven't.

      Craig: I've been in *this* bar before.
