A sequel that continues the success of the first film. Glover & Gibson make a great ill-matched couple and the addition of Joe Pesci injects a new vein of black comedy into the film, which also ramps up the action scenes to newfound brutality. |

Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, protects a talkative federal witness (Pesci), while taking on a gang of South African drug dealers hiding behind diplomatic immunity. Vorstedt confesses to murdering Riggs's wife years ago while Getz gets abducted. The pace is slower and tends to get cheesy in the near conclusion. This installment didn't have memorable antagonists, Vorstedt and Rudd were just alright. Lethal Weapon 2 is a decent sequel with an additional character in an outspoken accountant Leo Getz (Joe Pesci). Plot tried to connect with the first film, soundtrack inept and direction was not as smooth. |

A good sequel that plays much like the first. The addition of Joe Pesci to the series is a welcome one. |

Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return in this 1989 action thriller directed again by Richard Donner and they bring back all the chemistry that made the original such a hit four years prior. Gibson has a girl to swoon in this one (played by Patsy Kensit) and the duo has another crook to chase down (a true bad guy performance from Joss Ackland) and an annoying unwanted friend (played perfectly by Joe Pesci) tagging along they can pick on. I loved this one the best of the four in the series mainly because the chemistry between Riggs and Murtaugh seem to be at its peak. If you liked the first one- you will love the second even if Pesci gets on your nerves a little as Leo Getz.......Lethal Weapon 2 comes in at #27.......... |

"Lethal Weapon 2" by Yojimbo |

Riggs and Murtaugh investigate the staff of a South African consulate who are hiding behind their diplomatic credentials to perpetrate organised crime. The same team who brought you the original formula of testosterone soaked, adolescent pleasing action and wise cracks returns with exactly the same blend of destruction, homophobic quips, female nudity, car chases and torture that scored so big with the box office. And if you thought the first film was a bit too subtle and sophisticated, it introduces exploding cars, machine guns, helicopter gunships and baddies who are not only evil, sadistic bastards, but RACIST, evil, sadistic bastards, right from the get go. And an exploding toilet. Patsy Kensit is a bit of an insipid love interest and Joe Pesci's constant nasal yammering irritates rat... |

Better than the 1st Lethal Weapon! |
|
Carrying on from where they left off in the original, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are back with more incredible stunts, machine gun dialogue, and red hot action than ever before. Reprising their 'good cop, mad cop' routine, except with a greater emphasis on the lighter side of Riggs's character, the comedy is enhanced further by the significant adaptation to the series of pint-sized motor-mouth Leo, played by Joe Pesci (Raging Bull). Along with the full set of characters introduced in the original, such as the police chief, the psychiatrist, and Murtagh's family, we are treated to an even greater range of gun fights, car chases, explosive fist fights, and dramatic confrontations as the duo become involved in an investigation into heroin smuggling. The bad guys, who are depicted as stereot... |
