The Samurai Cop solution

We've been trying to figure out how to shoot an additional scene for the desert sequence even though Ben's hair won't match because he cut it. Cult favorite Samurai Cop (1989), a Lethal Weapon takeoff known for its spectacular and amusing ineptitude provides one solution. During the filming, star (ex-Sylvester Stallone bodyguard) Matt Hannon cut his hair. In order to match the existing footage, Hannon wore a cheap woman's wig.

In the scene below we see Hannon's real hair. This sequence is fascinating in its bizarre use of cutaways and its inability to create risque buddy cop repartee. The only way that this movie makes sense to me is to imagine it as an foreign Lethal Weapon homage film somehow cast in the US and performed in English (Director Amir Shervan shot several Iranian films before coming to the US).
