DVD Reviews of Lethal Weapon: The Complete Series
DVD Review: Best Action cop films of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
No matter how many times I watch these films, they never get old, most buddy cop films & shows rely on the chemistry between the two pals ( shows "Miami Vice", "Starsky & Hutch", & "NYPD Blue" did this quite well) & of course this film series where two cops who have nothing in common are partnered up ....
"Lethal Waepon"(1987)
This is the best one, it definately takes you back to 80's L.A., In this one we get to know the characters & who they are, Mel Gibson who had been known for the "Mad Max" films is Martin Riggs, a disgruntled cop who is still grieving over the loss of his wife & is a bit suisidal which makes him a bit more dangerous than the bad guys, Danny Glover who had yet to be recognized as a bankable actor, & got his big break here is Roger Murtaugh, a family man who in some ways is just waiting on his retirement, when Murtaugh's vietnam pal's daughter plunges from a highrise, Murtaugh who is partnered with Riggs sets out to find out why & discover that his friend was involved with drug lords from their vietnam days, Gary Busey is on hand as a enforcer for this drug ring & is intimidating, his & Riggs face off in the end is somthing you knew was inevitable, the action set-pieces toward the end are well done, especially the Hollywood Blvd scenes, as well as the foot chase, all in all, the best of the 4 films
"Lethal Weapon 2"(1989)
With the success of the first film, this one is my least favorite of the 4 films, not that it is bad, it is on par with the first film in terms of action, but these bad guys(South African Diplomats) are just not as scary as the drug ring in the first film, the bomb on the toliet scene while original seemed far-fetched at best, plus Riggs takes an interest in a secretary working for the guys, which seemed a bit out of character for him, however despite these faults this one works as a solid action film, the opening moments are the best with an all out chase in downtown Los Angeles & Joe Pesci is quite fun as Leo, an accountant who enbezzeled money from these bad guys & Riggs & Murtaugh are assigned to protect him, & there are many laughs when these 3 interact, but the accountant angle reeks of "Midnight Run" out the year before with Robert DeNiro & Charles Grodin, it is almost as if they wanted to take that idea & do it over again, however this one has its many moments but a bit overated I think
"Lethal Weapon 3"(1992)
Many felt this one was a step back from the first two films, however I disagree, this one had a interesting story angle to it, I can see why Gibson really jumped on this script, this one deals with a cop gone bad who with his police connections is stealing automatic guns seized from street gangs & recirculating back out for a profit, Stuart Wilson(Mask of Zorro) is this bad/former cop Jack Travis who is also using armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate bullet-proof vest, Murtaugh is close to retirement & is a bit too careful here, Renee Russo is introduced as a Internal Affairs cop pursuing Jack & his misdeeds & doesn't quite see eye to eye with Riggs & Murtaugh in their investigation but eventually allows Riggs to know what she knows when Murtaugh ends up killing a street gang member who was a friend of his son, who was supplied his gun by Travis, they then set out to stop Travis altogether, & what results is another cool standoff followed by another cool chase scene, Joe Pesci once again returns as Leo that is more or less comic relief, but still fun, the opening moments are fun as Riggs & Murtaugh try to disarm a bomb in a building parking structure & accidently trigger it, this scene is a classic, always wait for the bomb squad, this one to me was a bit better that "2"
"Lethal Weapon 4"(1998)
Yes, this one is a bit more comical in its approach, but this one is my 2nd favorite next to the original, the opening moments with a flamethrowing trigger-happy individual is a quite fun, especially the way Riggs disarms him, this one is sort of a throwback to the first film that has Jet Li as a former Chinese Triad who is counterfitting foriegn money to get his men out of China, & is using chinese slave labor to make the fake money, Jet Li sort of puts Gary Busey's scary villian from the first film to shame, & when Riggs & Murtaugh face off with him, you know there is going to be hell to pay, this one brings back Renee Russo & Joe Pesci(again) back & introduces us to Chris Rock as a up & coming detective, when you watch this one, you feel the sense of loss of the first film's 80's feel, but this one is without a doubt probably the most action packed, aside from the opening, you have another foot chase,a face off with Jet Li, another freeway chase(best action scene in my opinion), a Pontiac Grand Am crashing through a building, a shoot'em up fiesta at the end & another Jet Li face off, the action scenes do seem a bit redundant, but hey, that is why we watch these films right, & this one must have been sharing space with "Rush Hour"(out a few months later), because places in both films look the same, these two were made at the same time, all in all a great action film & this one has the deleted scenes from the other three films in its special features section if you don't want the Special Edition versions
