Lethal Weapon 2

Still good. I used to look down on this one because it does feature Danny Glover with his pants down, trapped by a bomb on the shitter. Watching it again now, its actually kind of touching.

I always forget that this is where Joe Pesci's character was introduced. I figured him for a number 3 intro, but that's when we get Rene Russo. I get why Shane Black is unattached to this emotionally and why he left at the time. I sure would love to read his original script for it and the baller ending the Internet describes. It's funny to hear him talk in disgust at where the series goes, and how #4 features Riggs changing a diaper. I totally agree...but I kinda want keep to re-watching this series and get to Jet Li kicking ass in the fourth one. And Chris Rock being hilarious. I saw LW4 twice in theaters in the same day. I was like 14 so who knows if it'll still hold up, but we'll see.

The last Lethal Weapon worth watching

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) – Review
Rating: 9/10

Another great movie — two wild, activist cops on a mission.

I don’t clearly remember this or the first film, but I noticed there was a poster saying “End Apartheid in Africa.” That shows a strong connection to real-world issues. In one scene, Riggs even shouts something like that — maybe as a distraction — but still, the message supports freedom.

Hitler killed 6 million people, but in South Africa, at least 20–30 million Black people were killed over time. It’s important that the movie touches on this brutal reality, even through action and humor.

People die in the film, but I was honestly happy the dog survives in the end :)

It would’ve been nice to see more of Leo. They treated him badly at first, but he helped them with everything.

The first movie focused on drug dealers; this one deals with fascist characters backed by corrupt diplomats and politics. It says a lot about power, violence, and injustice — all hidden behind official immunity.

It's not often that you can say a sequel is 'arguably' as good as the original, but, in this case it is true.

I think, a few films are equal to or better than first film and Lethal Weapon 2 is one of them.

It's rare to find a movie series where the sequel is better than the original, but _Lethal Weapon 2_ is one of those exceptions. This action-packed sequel takes everything that was great about the first film and amps it up. The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is still fantastic, and the addition of Joe Pesci as the fast-talking Leo Getz adds a new dynamic to the mix. The film's blend of intense action and humor is expertly balanced, and the stakes feel even higher this time around.

They are back with a second part that is close in quality to the first part. Excellent entertainment with Riggs and Murtaugh. A classic.

Does not add anything new, but keeps the pace of its predecessor.

"Diplomatic immunity."

The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Donald Glover is great, throw in Joe Pesci and it is even more fun. Lethal Weapon 2 is a great sequel to the first one. Used to watch all of the Lethal Weapon films a lot with my dad when I still lived at home. Gave him the boxset for Christmas and he still watches them every year. My dad has 4 franchises he watches a lot; Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Rambo and Police Academy. Guess which one I don't appreciate a lot.

Still, this was a very fun watch again. Love the humor and action, they do try to put too much into it but it still works. Chemistry between cast member can help movies a lot!
