I think the Lethal Weapon series should've just ended here. I mean I wanted more after this movie and years later we got the weak and overly silly Lethal Weapon 4. Lethal Weapon 3 has great action, great emotion and maybe even offers Gibson and Glover's best work together. Which is why they should've just ended things here. I mean Riggs just doesn't have the edge that made him cool in the first place in part 4. He's just an older goof ball who just pulls pranks on Glover and even doesn't have the long hair!


I also like the under-rated Stuart Wilson as the main villian here. He's about as crazy eyed as Riggs himself and was a better Lethal Weapon villian than Jet Li. Jet Li was cool in Lethal Weapon 4 but his character was just not built up enough and not as good as previous Lethal Weapon villians. I also like the Rene Russo and Mel Gibson relationship more here than in part 4. It's more fresh and funny here for him to have a woman who's about as nuts as him.

Joe Pesci is funny here too but with him around all the time after part 2, he's a like a tick that won't go away. Eventhough sadly, his story about his dead frog was the most emotion we got from Lethal Weapon 4. Here it's pretty heart felt when Glover accidently kills a teenager who's friends with his son. Plus as far as laughs go. Give me the scene here where Riggs makes friends with a vicious guard dog by acting like a dog. Over the scene with laughing gas in Lethal Weapon 4 any day.

The success of 1987's LETHAL WEAPON and its 1989 sequel inspired director Richard Donner to reunite himself with Mel Gibson,Danny Glover and Oscar-winner Joe Pesci for this second successful sequel. Captain Roger Murtaugh(Glover) is on the verge of retirement from the force but he doubts it's gonna happen. His partner-buddy Martin Riggs(Gibson) is trying hard to quit smoking. In one scene,Martin gives him a raw onion to eat as an aid to attempt. Rene Russo(MR. DESTINY,GET SHORTY,SHOWTIME,TIN CUP,OUTBREAK) joins the Murtaugh-Riggs team and she's tough as nails when on the job. Martin and Lorna(Russo) become boyfriend and girlfriend. The annoying Leo Getz(Pesci) is back and is again teased by Roger and Martin. In one scene,Martin shoots Leo's car tires,flattening them. Great music soundtrack which features RUNAWAY TRAIN,performed by Elton John and Eric Clapton during the end credits. I would say this is one of the Top 5 films of 1992,the others being WAYNE'S WORLD,HOME ALONE 2,THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE and BASIC INSTINCT. RT appears on EJ's THE ONE album,released the same year.

While this is my least favorite of the four lethal Weapon films, its still a great movie. It gets four stars since I want to reserve 5 for the other films which had better endings.

I am a huge fan of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. They make a perfect team in the Lethal Weapon series. They play off each other superbly. Though the movie is based on the good guys vs the bad guys, Mel and Danny's comedian antics steal the show. I highly recommend this movie.

Great movie preview.You have the right to remain unconsicus-Riggs.Rated R for violence and language.P.S.-I didn't know that you have to say how a movie is so I will still post little coments on my reviews.

MAN THIS IS ONE CRAZY MOVIE LET ME TELL YOU. FIRST, GIBSON IS GOING CRAZY AND IS DANGEROUS AND IS TALKING ABOUT JEWS KILLING CHRIST AND THEN MORGAN FREEMAN IS GETTING TOO OLD FOR SOME S**T AND THEN THEY FACE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER WITH SOME GUNS AND THIS CRAZY TOM CRUISE DUDE HOPS UP ON THEIR SHOULDS AND PEEKS OUT FROM BEHIND THEM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS MOVIE MADE ME LAUGH AND THINK AT THE SAME TIME, EVEN THOUGH I WAS REALLY ASLEEP THE WHOLE TIME!!! DONT MISS THIS RARE AND UNDISCOVERED GEM!!!!!!!!!!

Again, enjoyable in the true sense of the Lethal Weapon movies, this one has our 2 heroes bullying innocents and laughing about it (oh, those loveable cops); Leo Getz going places no civilian could go and getting slapped like a 3 Stooges foil, except his vulgarity increases (wait until LW 4). Now Riggs is not crazy at all, that's all gone, but he's in LUV.... with a dog and a female alter ego. The bad guys are a little trite, and unreal, but this IS a fiction.
Watch out for LW 4, it gets hypocritical. Every police department respects and depends on the NRA for their training and gun handling, only this one has anti-NRA posters on the wall. Yeah, right! The "Holly-weenies" came out in force in that one. And the "F" word must cover half the script for "LW 4". Thanks, I'll take my wife and kids just for laughs.

I thought I had seen this film and I watched it the other day realizing I definitely hadn't. This is a great film. The acting by Gibson and Glover is the best its been since Lethal Weapon One and Renee Russo kicks some serious butt in the film. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the series. Very action packed and poignant at times. Much better than Lethal 4. Certainly as good as the second one. Not better than the first one. Shane Black's writing in the first film is hard to top.

I've long hated this film. For a long time I only owned Lethal Weapons 1,2 and 4 and only bought this because it was dirt cheap and people always moaned at me for missing it out, even though they understand that it is a rubbish film.

Shane Black is gone, in fact he walked away from Lethal Weapon 2 when they refused to make it as dark as he originally wrote it. But at least Riggs and Murtaugh were still Lethal Weapons, THAT was the whole point in the films being so called right? Lethal Weapon 3 might as well have been called 'Inoffensive Family Friendly Safety Weapon'. There is hardly any action in this and what action there is is nothing more than very, very boring and unimaginative gunfights. There is not a drop of blood and without the not so abundant f-word there is no reason for this not to be a PG-13.

The bad guy is weak. I'm not kidding you there. His ultimate goal is not world-domination or to seize control of the drug cartels or holding the government hostage. No, Mr Lethal Weapon 3 Bad Guy wants to...build a housing estate. Well, if that ain't the most vilest of all evil plans I've heard of. Sheesh, what a bad man, he truly deserves to die.

The lame plot about the stolen guns is a thin excuse for Richard Donner's anti-NRA propaganda (he used to be a member but turned his back on them in disgust around this point). As well-intentioned as this may be, it doesn't belong in a film called Lethal Weapon, especially when you consider the gun violence in the 2 previous movies.

They try to make it funny, into an action-comedy. But it's absolutely rancid. The witless, irritating dialogue is overwritten and annoying and Joe Pesci's character is in desperate need of a slap. What is with the blonde hair and earring? A lot of this film could have been cut down, at 121 minutes the anorexic plot long outstays its welcome. There are just so many pointless scenes and distractions. The subplot about Murtaugh (the character is supposed to be 55 but Glover was only 44) retiring is just done to death and it's so slow. What is this? Some family drama? And am I the only one who's noticed that EVERY character says 'sonofabitch' about a million times in this film. Plus Danny Glover shouts 'RIGGS' every 5 seconds. And don't even get me started on Michael Kamen's rubbish score. The saxophone thing totally overbears on every scene and becomes highly distracting. And when he's not using this completely inappropriate sound he's nicking music from his own Die Hard score.

It's because of movies like this that Last Action Hero got made.

The new 'Director's Cut' DVD presents the film in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen with a faultless picture. The Dolby/DTS 5.1 soundtrack is loud and forceful but hardly dynamic. There are no interesting features (not that I care). The R1 DVD comes in a horrid snapper case but the R2 is a sturdy keepcase.

LETHAL WEAPON 3 continues the saga of on the edge Riggs and straight arrow Murtaugh, brilliantly realized once again by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. This time they're after a ruthless ex-cop who is selling stolen police weapons to teenagers and anyone who'll buy them, making him a lethal nemesis. There are as usual some incredible action scenes, stunts and the usual banter between Gibson and Glover. Rene Russo shows up as an internal affairs cop who is just as edgy as Gibson and they hit it off right away. Joe Pesci returns as Leo Getz, this time as a real estate agent and there is a humorous and tense scene at a hockey game that allows Pesci to shine. Bad guy Stuart Wilson (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Crossworlds) is a malevolent force, as well.
I didn't find this one as completely satisfying as the first 2; the action scenes weren't as plentiful and Glover's descent into depression slowed the movie down. But in the buddy buddy genre, this one is still up there!!!

In 1992, Riggs and Murtaugh were back on the case in LETHAL WEAPON 3. Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is determined to live through his last week before retirement, while Riggs (Mel Gibson) meets Lorna Cole (Rene Russo), Riggs' female alter-ego. Together, the three of them must solve a case involving an ex-cop gone bad. LETHAL WEAPON 3 has all the laughs of its predecessors, but it has a carefully thought-out feeling to it that just can't combat the feeling of the earlier films. Sting contributes the film's theme song, "It's Probably Me", and Joe Pesci returns as Leo Getz. Make sure to stick around after the end credits.
* This director's cut includes three minutes of additional footage.

In spite of the of losing the great naked chicks of the last two films this movie still manages to kick ass. Theres great action in this movie as usual and some funny stuff like the others. Plus like the first two this one really has an ..exposive..begining..heh heh. This movie has great action and a great story..no exploding toilet but still cool. Roger gets to be the depressed alcoholic in this film. He does a good job at it too. good stuff

THE PLOT FOR THIS ONE; RIGGS AND MURTAUGH HUNT DOWN A FORMER COP WHO'S NOW A WEAPONS DEALER. ANOTHER GREAT ENTRY IN THIS ALREADY PERFECT SERIES. THIS IS A VERY GOOD ACTION FILM WITH A VERY GOOD PLOT AND VERY GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR AS ALWAYS. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BAD ''LETHAL WEAPON'' MOVIE TO DATE. AND HOPEFULLY THERE NEVER WILL BE. ADDED THIS TIME TO THE CAST; RENE RUSSO, WHO PLAYS RIGGS' LOVE INTEREST. AND JOE PESCI RETURNS FUNNIER THAN EVER AS LEO GETZ. 3 MINUTES OF FOOTAGE WAS ADDED TO THIS MOVIE FOR A DIRECTOR'S CUT VERSION RELEASED BACK IN 1998.

"You have the right to remain unconscious, anything you say ain't gonna be much". My favorite line from my favorite Lethal Weapon movie, said by the great Mel Gibson. Gibson and Glover have incredible chemistry, and part 3 of this series is definitely up to par and then some! I have all 4 of the movies on DVD, but I've watched this one more times than any of the rest. I remember going and watching it at the movies back in the summer of '92, hard to believe that it's been 10 years now since this movie's release. Richard Donner is truly a master at his craft, and continues to come up with great ideas for his movies. Joe Pesci is hilarious, he is in top form in this one. His addition to the fold made a great series of movies even better. The plot of the movie is basically centered around the boys trying to bring down a former cop named Jack Travis who's gone bad, really bad. Along the way is the usual sensational action, drama, and comedy that you've come to know, love, and expect from a Letal Weapon movie. I love it, and would recommend it to anyone who loves a great movie. This is my fav out of the 4, with the other 3 being a very close 2nd. If you are looking for the total package out of an action flick, then look no further. In my opinion this one is the best of the best. If you've never seen it, watch it. If you don't own it yet, what are you waiting for?!

Ok, most people knew it by the time this movie came out, the series was starting to show it's age. You know what to expect out of this sequel, and that is exactly what you get. Gibson and Glover are still a great team and Rene Russo is a great addition, but the plot needed some heavy work. This movie feels rushed. The story is pretty much just a backdrop to the mindless action. The thing I loved about the first two movies is that it wasn't just mindless action, there was a very deep plot that motivated it. But still, it's hard not to enjoy this movie. Glover probably gives his best performance in the series, especially in the funeral scene, which was very powerful. The new bad guy, Jack Travis, played by Stuart Wilson (who?) is extremely unintimidating. They seem to take him out with little to no problem. Even the fat Diplomatic Immunity guy from pt. II was scarier and more threatening. Overall, this movie should have had more thought put into it before it came out. I realize after making two stellar films, it is hard to make a third one of the same quality, but if they had done a little tweeking with it, LW3 could have been a classic.

in my opinion this is the best one in the series. why because just the way the scenes were done. they were outstanding. don't get me wrong all the films in the series are great i just happen to think this one is the best. rated r for strong violence,and language

For me, this Weapon is probaly one of the best in the series besides the first "Lethal Weapon!" Once again, Mel and Danny return for their roles of Riggs & Murtaugh, and yes Joe Pesci comes back as Leo Getz! Joining the cast is the very lovely Rene Russo as Lorna Cole who's character is just as nutty as Riggs (Gibson)! While trying to be a bit-more light-hearted copmpared to the first 2 films, this Weapon succeeds very excellently. With the subject dealing with armor-piercing bullets, and how they are being supplied by a crooked cop (Stuart Wilson) makes a very interseting story to watch! When I think of this theme, I remember an interview director Richard Donner gave where he mentioned that he was a member of the NRA at one point of time, but soon dropped out! Just the fact that he's speaking out against this subject with this film makes you feel really good for anyone who's just flat out against guns! It makes you think how much we're putting our life on the line when it comes to a gun! A very good Lethal alltogether!

This third episode in the series tries to innovate in a different direction. First it integrates a woman cop from internat affairs, and she is as deadly and as strong as the main actors. The black and white cop couple, that will be the pattern and model for many other films, first of all for the cult Seven, is thus pushed slightly further and farther by integrating women in the police corps. This is a sign of our times. Same evolution, following the growing of the own children of the black cop, in the new interest for the traffic, organized by an ex-cop turned crime-king, of automatic weapons that were so far only used by the police, hence giving the younger essential black generation an edge in their battle against the police which is seen as a battle for easy money through dealing anything they can put their hands on that satisfies the artificial dreams and desires for en escape from daily life, in other words escapism, of the younger and not so young public. This film, once again takes a stand that is interesting because political : the providers of the weapons that can destroy society completely are insiders, people trained and experienced in police work. Crime is a business that is very lucrative when organized by those insiders who have stepped out but remain extremely active and well in touch with the system. A new twist is introduced in this film. So far Riggs fell in love with women who were systematically eliminated by his enemies. This time he falls in love with a woman, the Internal Affairs officer, who is nearly eliminated by a new generation of bullets that can go through standard bullet-proof vests, but she survives due to her ingeniousness, to double up the bullet protection. So, finally is love-curse to his lady-friends is terminated and a new era can start for him. He has found the woman who could be his equal. On the other hand, like in Seven again a few years later, the black cop cannot retire and has to stay in the force for a few more years, because the police is like a drug, a catching virus that no one and nothing can neutralize. Once a cop, forever a cop. The best scene is the burial of the black cop's son's best friends, killed, arm in hand, by the black cop. The latter tries to apologize to the parents, but their is no apology. So the mother slaps him across the face and the father tells him: « If you want to do anything good, just get and eliminate the one who put the guns in our son's hands. » This is highly emotional and highly inspiring : the police must not fight against those youngsters who are victims, but against those insiders who are providing them with the deadly weapons. Make society clean and crime will be reduced, even if this means reducing the understanding of teh second amendment that covers such leathal-weapon-traffickers.

The most popular team of detectives in cinematic history is back again, making the streets of Los Angeles safe and secure for the citizens at large in "Lethal Weapon 3," directed by Richard Donner and once again starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. This time the action literally starts with a bang (a big one) when Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Glover) answer a call and, suffice to say, Riggs can't wait for the bomb squad to arrive. It makes for a spectacular opening scene, but it's just a warm up for what follows. Some bad things are going down in the City of Angels, perhaps not unusual for L.A., but someone is putting automatic weapons and armor piercing bullets (called "Cop Killers" as they can penetrate a bullet proof vest) on the streets, which is really bad news for police officers in general, and especially for those in particular areas of the city. Riggs and Murtaugh are on the case, but it quickly escalates, and because of certain untoward circumstances soon falls into the hands of Internal Affairs. Which brings Officer Lorna Cole (Rene Russo) into the picture. And sparks begin to fly. The first two installments of this series are hard to beat, but as they say, the third time's a charm; and Donner must have had the shaman working with him on this one, because he pulled off quite a feat-- making a third that ranks right up there with the first two. He seems to have found the perfect balance with this one; the main characters are in place and established, Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) is back, and the addition of Russo is the icing on the cake. The story is good, there's plenty of great action and some sensational stunts, and the humor has been toned down a notch, which increases the level of intensity of the drama. In short, Donner measures out all of the right elements to perfection and makes it all gel together for the complete package. And what a package it is. By now, Gibson IS Riggs, from the inside out; still somewhat on the edge, but not quite as volatile. And Glover could play Murtaugh in his sleep; which may sound like easy street for an actor, but it takes real professionals to maintain the credibility of characters they know so well (it would be so easy to phone it in and let the details slip at this point), and these two have what it takes. Their chemistry remains intact, and they've put polish on an act that was already shining. The real chemistry this time, however, is between Gibson and Russo, who click from the beginning, starting with their first scene together. Russo sparkles as Lorna, putting some real style and spunk into her; there's just enough edginess to her to make her believable as a no-nonsense I.A. investigator, and it makes her the perfect match for Gibson's Riggs. There's a terrific scene between them, in which they compare battle scars, that fits their characters so well and so credibly underscores the development of their relationship. it's a memorable scene, and a good example of how well the script, by Jeffrey Boam and Robert Mark Kamen, was written. The supporting cast includes Darlene Love (Trish), Traci Wolfe (Rianne), Stuart Wilson (Jack Travis), Steve Kahan (Capt. Murphy), Damon Hines (Nick), Ebonie Smith (Carrie) and Gregory Millar (Tyrone). In the world of the Cinema, it's a rare thing when a sequel matches up to the original, and when the third does, it's a real triumph; and "Lethal Weapon 3" is just that, a triumph. It's a quality action/drama that exemplifies why this series is so popular. Simply put, it's a good movie on it's own, and part of a great series; so don't stop now, "Lethal Weapon 4" is ready and waiting for you.

I like this one because Joe Pesci delivers one of his best performances in it. Leo Getz get it. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are great as a team again. Rene Russo does a fascinating job as the Internal Affairs investigator. Im also a karate fan she had awsome kicks in this one. Director:Richard Donner Cast: Joe Pesci,Mel Gibson,Danny Glover and Rene Russo

"Lethal Weapon 3" should have been called "Lethal Weapon Lite". This film is "lite" on story and suspense which the first two films excelled at. At the same time though "Lethal 3" is a fun film. While the first two movies mixed action and drama with the comedy, this film is almost all comedy with occasional action conveniently place to keep the audience from getting too restless.

Watching this film is a lot like watching outtakes. There are many scenes which have no relation to each other. The film is filled with gags and jokes which feel like they're made up on the spot. A lot of it is fun but it just fills in where the story is weak. The plotline this time is the weakest in the series and focuses on Riggs, Murtaugh and Leo Getz trying to stop an ex-cop who has become an arms dealer.

Most of the action takes place at the end and is appropriately "Lethal Weaponish". The film is not a total loss, it's mostly good fun.

How far the mighty fell. The first film in this series was an amazing take on the tired cop genre, finally giving the world a protagonist cop who was not some boring stoic or wise-cracking good guy. Riggs was dark, disturbed and suicidal. By the third installment the whole tone of the films changed to this mindless dreck. If only one could excise the last two Lethal Weapon movies.

I consider number 3 to be the weakest outing yet of all the Lethal Weapons. Even the three minutes restored to the Director's Cut doesn't give it much more substance. It's rather ordinary, with tamer action sequences than what one could see in the other three. And the main heavy, ex-cop and gun-runner Jack Travis (Stewart Wilson), is less than impressive. Even Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), the film's comic relief, isn't nearly as fun to watch as he was in the second 'Lethal'. But here's the funky part- Murtaugh's house somehow manages to stay intact through the entire flick. That's as much of a surprise as Kenny surviving through an entire episode of `South Park'.

But I've found LW3 to have its redeeming qualities. the opening sequence- Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover) trying to defuse a bomb in a skyscraper parking lot- was a legendary comedic moment. But probably the best scene was at the dock, where the two partners have it out over the killing of a gang member who was a friend of Murtaugh's son. It showed the strength of both characters' bond to each other as partners and friends. Also, the restored moment when Murtaugh's questioning a gang enforcer with the help of a high performance sports car was a wonderful addition to the Director's Cut.

The DVD's extra features are thin, very thin... almost anorexic. Just a trailer, a short article about the setting up of the climactic construction site gunfight, and cast & crew filmographies. Oh, what to do...

`Late

If you like the other Lethal Weapon movies, then you will at least find this one entertaining. True, it is the weakest of the entire "quadrilogy", but it holds its own as a Lethal Weapon movie. The "director's cut" is especially interesting.

The worst entry in the "Lethal Weapon" series, (the first will always be the best), "Lethal Weapon 3" suffers from too much comedy and a very uninteresting story. Richard Donner, who throws a ridiculously stupid left-wing temper tantrum throughout the film by inserting little hidden messages in scenes and dialogue, directs this film with a lack of concern for quality. It's like he was thinking, "Oh what the hell! People come to see Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Forget about an interesting story. Just make some things blow up real good and put in a couple of car chases!" The action is only so-so and the comedy, well...it really isn't comedy. The story involves Mel and Danny trying to stop a criminal from putting guns in the hands of local gang members. There are other plot points as well but nothing of great interest or amusement. We also get an additional member of the team played by Rene Russo who seems to hold her own fairly well. Just rent the original.

Being a big fan of the first two Lethal movies, I was really dissapointed with this one. It took the whole mood of the first two and made it into a comedy. The first two were like action-drama. Though I love Joe Pesci, he did not help this film out, nor the story, and the bad guy sucked. Worst of all, the had the coolest scene in the movie shown at the very beginning, which tells you that from then on out, the rest of the film will not be as good. I should give it 1 and a half, but the acting between Gibson and Glover fixes that.

Good action-comedy that is fun and easy to watch. If you seen the others and liked them then I think you will like this one too.

Background:

I am a 24 year old male engineering and computer science student living in SC. I do have a large humanities background.

Overview:

I gave this movie a 6 out of 10. I think that it is a good action-comedy packed with laughs and adventure. Right from the start the movie is bursting with good comedy and intense adventure. It is a little over the top sometimes, but if you don't mind that kind of stuff you will really enjoy some of the crazier parts. I don't think this Lethal Weapon is anywhere near as good as Lethal Weapon 4. The movie is simple, at any one time you will either be watching an action scene, or a comedy scene, or both. The plot is not much more than bad guy commits crime, cops and bad guy fight each other for over two hours, finally cops kill bad guy. But it is fun to watch especially if you don't feel up to anything complicated that night. Both Mel's and Danny's characters are starting to fell that they are getting old and are becoming a little worried that they are getting "Too old for this !@#$...". That comes to a climax in Lethal Weapon 4. Danny's character is set to retire in a week from the start of the movie. And he has a bad feeling about what kind of luck that will bring him. Too bad the "Psychic Friends Network" went bankrupt. He could have had a nice retirement job lined up... If you want to know what I mean then watch this movie sometime and you will know.

Thanks.

i don't need to say anything about this film except: it's a must see for action fans.

This time the gang go for more of an action comedy, which makes it less bleak than the original, and better than the second installment. The introduction of Lorna Cole made for an interesting sub plot. The villain isn't as good as the previous two movies villains, but he's nasty enough to hate all the same. The opening scene is a bit silly, but at least it's funny.

Not even LW4 can compare to the stench reeking of of this turkey. While LW4 was stupid, This picture is boring and stupid. And at least the fourth entry had Jet Li playing a villan. This picture has an empty-headed brainless and boring dirty-cop played by the terribly mediocre Stuart Wilson. There is not an ounce of imagination in this whole movie. It's like an episode of "Hunter" with a bigger budget. Mel is not even a lethal weapon anymore. A better title for Martin Riggs would be "Mildly Eccentric Weapon"

THE third installment to the action packed series where this time Riggs and Murtaugh face a whole new challange. This time there after a former corrupt cop who is dealing illegal auto matic weapons loaded with deadly cop killers! And only Riggs,Murtagh, and a new female frend also in law inforcement can burn down this evil empire of corruption! LOADED WITH MORE ACTION THAN YOU CAN HANDLE this is a must see for any action fan this one is LEATHAL!!!!!

A mustsee for any Lethal Weapon or action movie fan!!! The action packed series contiues only to get better every time!! Cop partners MARTIN RIGGS and ROGER MURTAUGH are at again to face yet another big challenge to track down a former corrupted cop who has a housing development out in the middle of the desertwho is smuggling illegal atomatic weapon with city street gangs and if that isnt enough of a challenge there is a dealing of special buuluts called cop killers.ITS UP TO RIGGS AND MURTAUGH TO STOP THIS MADMAN IN HIS TRACKS!! DONT MISS IT!!!!!

There seems to be a problem with the 5.1 audio mastering of the disc. The score oftentimes overwhelms the dialog and in some instances sounds out of focus and is distracting. In addition, the dialog sounds muddy and is difficult to listen to at times. This probably will only be evident on a Dolby Digital home theater system with the volume turned up.....

I love the introduction of Rene Russo as the tough & capable Internal Affairs cop who is fabulous opposite Mel Gibson's wacky Sgt.Riggs. She is a wonderful addition and adds some great action-packed elements to the story. Not to mention the "comparing of the scars" scene with Mel Gibson is great!
