I read Out of Sight for the first time last week. Its great, right up there with Elmore’s best, like Freaky Deaky. Speaking of which I remember being quite bemused about the guy that got blown up on the toilet at the beginning, what he had to do with the rest of the plot. I read Freaky Deaky just the once, and that was 5 years ago, so my memory is a little cloudy in places.
Moselle, in Out of Sight, mentions a guy who sat down and got blown up. Is she referring to the same event?

Yes.

Lethal Weapon 2 rips off the scene, but they use a toilet.
