Movie Info
South African smugglers find themselves being hounded and harassed by Riggs and Murtaugh, two mismatched Los Angeles police officers. However, the South Africans are protected by diplomatic immunity, and so the two are assigned to witness-protection duty in an attempt by their captain to keep his job. It is only when this witness reveals to them that he has already dealt with the smugglers that the trouble really starts.

Just as good as the first, More action and a very good car chase in the middle of the film, Same old predictable plot and obviously the reason for bringing in Joe Pesci was to provide more humour but he ended up being very annoying and unfunny plus Mel and Danny's onscreen chemistry was more than enough to bring the touch of humour it needed.

Disclaimer: The following review is for "Lethal Weapon 2: Director's Cut". Throughout the review it will be referred to as simply "Lethal Weapon 2". "Lethal Weapon 2" is a great sequel to 1987's "Lethal Weapon". "Lethal Weapon 2" there is amazing acting from "Mel Gibson" and "Patsy Kensit". The plot to this movie is good, one scene in the film is funny but is very unnecessary as well a character in the film. The special effects in this film still look real now days. And the music in this movie is so awesome. If you haven't "Lethal Weapon" or it's sequel "Lethal Weapon 2" I highly recommend watching it. I give "Lethal Weapon 2" a 8.5/10.

<i>"Dehplomatic immuniteehhh!"</i> Starting off with a bang, Donner takes the wheel and proves once again that such an unlikely likeable duo could create perfect chemistry and double the fun in this decent action thriller that makes us miss the decade of the 80s. The dose of adrenaline has been increased 150% (not quite doubled), the humor is still present but it also increased (hmmm... should I be worried?) and, unfortunately, Joss Ackland didn't prove to be a worthy new villain like Joe Pesci proved to be an awesome comedic addition. 62/100

A sequel that's just as good as the first one. It's the continuation of the adventures of the likable duo of Riggs and Murtaugh. It retains everything that made the first movie great and then some. Now we have Joe Pesci playing Leo Getz, the irritating yet harmless tag along. This one even packs some more emotional punches into it, turning it into a revenge-buddy cop-thriller. In the beginning, it drops you straight into the action and doesn't lose your attention for the rest of the film, ending on an emotional yet comical note. Lethal Weapon 2 is a great sequel. Letter Grade: A
