    It's crazy how much this sounds like something Mel Gibson would say during one of his breathless uninterrupted rants in the movie Conspiracy Theory, except this is all documented and verified. Still nothing happens

    Just think of the priceless pieces of film memorabilia that we've lost: -authentic Australian outback piss jar from Mad Max -an empty hair spray can from each of the first three Lethal Weapon movies -antisemitic decoder ring from Conspiracy Theory -spare merkins (used) from Braveheart

    I always thought Mel Gibson's performance in the movie "Conspiracy Theory" was one of his best, and then I found out why ... He wasn't acting.

    Thinking about the movie Conspiracy Theory in which Mel Gibson plays, get this, a crazed lunatic who cooked his brain on conspiracy theories.

    American Werewolf in London has some. Conspiracy Theory 1997 shows the movie Ladyhawke on screen as the main character hides in a movie theater.

    I am watching a YouTube vid about the 1997 film 'Conspiracy Theory' in which Mel Gibson plays a conspiracy theorist who is proved right. A lot of the comments are like "the role Mel was born to play" and YouTube's new AI categories system has categorised them as "Gibson shines in quirky comedy"

    True Lies and Conspiracy Theory were two of the R rated movies allowed when I was a kid. Along with Die Hard but that was a Christmas movie so that's why it was allowed

    When he did Conspiracy Theory, I think he crossed a rubicon. He was always out there, but doing that movie broke his brain. Or, he did that movie because his brain was broken. And yeah, he’s also an asshole. You can be crazy and nice and people just call you quirky. Crazy and an asshole? Step back.

    Had this one on my short list of late as it's a Rutger Hauer film that I've somehow not seen even though he discussed it at some length in his autobiography. What's weird to me is that it's a Richard Donner film. I just got done takin' a big poo on Conspiracy Theory (1997) so that's timely.

    I just got an idea and made me wonder about a #ConspiracyTheory. Is the film industry like Hollywood intentional disrespecting, marginalising and infantilising animated media of way of ableism against neurodivergence as it's popular with neurodivergence?

    Conspiracy Theory is not the first movie about a shadowy organization based out of NYC that I have watched in my #1997movie journey, though Men In Black has a pretty different tone. I think lots of the creatures hold up, and some of the jokes, but man oh man is this project evidence that comedy […]

    8 August 1997 Conspiracy Theory starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts opened. The film reunited Gibson with director Richard Donner, who had previously directed him in all four "Lethal Weapon" movies. #History #HistoryMatters

    There's a 1997 film called "Conspiracy Theory" which is just a batshit crazy Mel Gibson going around shouting at everyone about random bullshit Conspiracy theories. So it's basically just a documentary.

    Just finished watching my all-time favorite Mel Gibson movie, “Conspiracy Theory.” Despite his usual wise-cracking action persona, he perfectly threads the needle between all-out bonkers and sweetly vulnerable and broken. #movies #conspiracy #melgibson #film #CIA www.imdb.com/title/tt0118...

    Great cast, great acting, and its funny in a clever way. My main criticism is that the plot quickly devolves into a generic 90s action movie with car chases and stuff...Its ok popcorn cinema, but nothing memorable. They could have made more out of the conspiracy angle...

    Well... this was fun. I don't think you can say anything better about a movie. Conspiracy Theory was fun. You sit down and watch it, and you are going to have a fun time, you are going to be entertained. It's a great blend of moderate action and comedic suspense. The plot twists are deep enough to be interesting and light enough to be entertaining in the darker aspects of comedy. The characters, well, the characters are the very definition of the phrase, "he's a real character isn't he?" Mel…

    Overly long but amiable suspense-thriller thanks to the charms of Mel Gibson (re-teaming with Lethal Weapon franchise director Richard Donner) and Julia Roberts with Patrick Stewart making for an okay villain. This is one I've seen a couple times and each viewing has pretty much been the same: entertaining but also unremarkable. 3.0/5
