Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Tigerbai1 As good as first -- added romance, its like Game of Thrones everyone gets killed. I'm 59 and never saw these. Riggs is crazy. U never know whats coming. Enjoy

TxMike It has been a long time since I watched "Lethal Weapon 4" then "Lethal Weapon." This week, wandering through the movie shelves of my local library I came upon this one on BluRay. Anticipating good video and audio I settled in on a cold Saturday and watched it.As these Lethal Weapon movies go it is a lot of slapstick comedy superimposed on a serious theme. Here a South African diplomat in Los Angeles appears to be involved in drugs and gold, plus money laundering, but uses his diplomatic immunity to keep the cops at arm's length.Mel Gibson is Martin Riggs and his partner is Danny Glover as Roger Murtaugh. Given a $hit assignment they are to guard Joe Pesci as Leo Getz, a sly money-launderer who is in witness protection. The S. Africans want to eliminate him but Riggs and Murtaugh, as haphazard as they may be, are difficult to defeat.The boss of the bad guys is Joss Ackland as S. African diplomat Arjen Rudd. The love interest for Riggs is pretty British actress Patsy Kensit as Dutch Rika Van Den Haas who works for Rudd but is not a crook.Of course none of this is plausible but if you keep reminding yourself that it is just a movie then you will be entertained by watching how the cops eventually bring the S. African crooks to justice.

jessegehrig These are our bodies. Life is the parade of bodies before your eyes, and death is merely the place where all those bodies go. Death is a bank, no withdraws, deposit only. What is the value of the totality of all our struggles? What is the value of our individual struggles? The best of all the Lethal Weapon movies, but all that that means is a formula worked well once and has since then been less and less effective. This movie has action sequences, and comedy! This movie was made in the 1980's, 1989, but still, its an Eighties movie! Nostalgia is poison gas that is gingerbread scented, breathe deep! Yes, Lethal Weapon 2 has nudity, yes the bad guys die at the end.

badfeelinganger Richard Donner directs again, and Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as LAPD partners, their relationship smoother now that Gibson's character has recovered from his maddening grief over his wife's death. But the reckless Mel and cautious Danny equation, good for a million laughs, settles into place in this story involving a South African smuggler and a new girlfriend (Patsy Kensit) for Gibson. The movie is hardly comfy, though. The last act gets nasty, and a climactic fight between Gibson (who gets the worst of it) and some high-kicking villain is ugly. The chemistry between its leads, make this a playful, entertaining sequel.Sequel Includes a smashed car full of Krugerrands, a hillside house blown off its stilts and a bomb set under a toilet, the point of Lethal Weapon 2 is that Mel Gibson and Danny Glover get to race around in all that chaos, acting crazy.If you liked Lethal Weapon, you'll like Lethal Weapon 2; it's almost as simple as that."Worse than the first, but better than the rest. it's nice to have a big-audience action movie attacking apartheid and the slaughter of sea mammals, instead of acting as an enlistment poster for the Army Air Corps, local vigilante groups or the reopening of the Vietnam War, the sentiments don't really transcend the car crashes.Pesci's terrific comic performance really gooses the proceedings, but the film also works because of its exciting action content, the presence of Patsy Kensit as Riggs' love interest, and the series-best interplay between the two lead characters. Despite the film's anti-South African stance, it was passed uncut by the South African censors and became a major financial success in that country. .The films' writer, Shane Black, walked away from this sequel after he decided to kill off the character of Martin Riggs. Warner Brothers disagreed with that decision, and he left the project.The body count is 33, the highest of the 'Lethal Weapon' series. During production, Richard Donner was shocked when Mel Gibson confided that he was drinking five pints of beer for breakfast. Despite his alcohol problems, Gibson was known for his professionalism and punctuality. In the original script, the South Africans were even more vicious. At one point, they even torture Riggs in much the same manner as Mr. Joshua in the original. Its a Strong and funny sequel but if went with original ending would be even more classic.Still its one of the finest examples of the genre its a Kick ass sequel by concentrating on the often frustrating, funny relationship between the three men, the film gains in humour but loses some of the momentum and panache which distinguished the original.Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Richard Donner have all stated that this is their favourite film of the Lethal Weapon series.
