    it maybe the directors cut but it still contains an edit. After Mel dislocates his shoulder he gets out of the water and kicks the blokes arse but in this reg2 uk release we still dont get to see it. Apart from that its top notch

  • 80's Action-Comedy at it's Finest

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By MovieNerdZilla (5 reviews) , 16 Mar 2013
    A little lighter than the first one but still with a dark side the captures the emotions of both characters; Mel Gibson's character in particular. A film of the 80s and definitely still a brilliant film to this day. The duo characters work brilliantly together, throwing banter around like it's no-ones business, with Joe Pesci adding to the comedic value. Added to the fact, you can see there is a deep bond and respect between these two characters; it all adds up to one of the best partnerships in movie history. A definite must-see for fans of the first movie and a brilliant set up for the sequels.

  • what sequels are meant to be made of

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By bizmandan (54 reviews) , 22 Feb 2012
    As much as Lethal Weapon may have stepped outside its genre trappings to strike an unexpected chord, its sequel was the film that gave the series the legs it needed to continue onward and upward.

    While it still plumbs some dark, painful subject matter for its lead characters, Lethal Weapon 2 skews lighter by treating the Murtaugh-Riggs dynamic as the stuff of fruitful comedy, an approach intensified by the slightly annoying, but still faithfully endearing, Leo Getz character, whom Joe Pesci makes all his own.

    But it's the supreme comfort of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, with both each other and the script that rockets this to the top of buddy movies to such an extent that it became ripe for parody.

    The director again proves his command of this material with a handful of memorable scenes, and especially his use of Gibson in his trademark “lethal weapon” scenes, which coined the franchise title. Even though Gibson is a lot less depressed in this film you still completely believe him as a guy that has nothing to lose.

    Where as the first lethal weapon really successfully put the story of the franchise out there, It was still not quite hitting the mark for me, but here, there is the stuff that sequel dreams are made of.
