Reviews:

Fun sequel with plenty of action and the teamwork between Gibson and Glover was great. Joe Pesci was fine but kind of got a bit annoying. Still highly entertaining all these years later.

A truly great sequel that expands upon the friendship that was born in the first picture.

Intrepid cop partners Riggs & Murtaugh are on the trail of South African diplomats who are using their diplomatic immunities to engage in criminal activities.

With the success of Lethal Weapon in 1987 it made common sense to follow it with a sequel. All the same elements were in place, cast, director and writers were all back for another slice of buddy buddy action bonanza. The only change of course is the villains, here represented by Joss Ackland & Derrick O’Connor’s weasel South African bastardos. Joe Pesci enters the fray as the comical Leo Getz, a Federal Witness that the cop duo have to “babysit” till trial.

Right from the off the tone of the film is set as our ears split and our eyes get dazzled by a high speed car chase. Riggs & Murtaugh are in hot pursuit whilst exchanging a now customary difference of opinion as regards police work. We know they are mates and we know that Riggs is still the lethal weapon and Murtaugh is old school copper. So whilst there’s nothing new in that the formula remains the same, the makers do flesh out the relationship more as the film progresses – with one or two scenes absolute gold dust as the boys’ lives come under serious threat. We are now, in spite of the carnage that surrounds them, involved with them, yes, such is the charm of their relationship, we do care. It’s good writing, regardless of the charges from some quarters that these films are nasty shallow excuses for making money…

It’s fair to say that this is Gibson’s movie, this is because it’s written that way. Some of Riggs’ back story is filled in and he even gets a love interest in the slender form of Patsy Kensit. Riggs cracks the jokes and does the outrageous mental stuff, while Glover’s (still doing fine work in Gibson’s shadow) Murtaugh continues to be the counter opposite, with some of the astute written sequences involving Murtaugh and the South African core of the story being excellently handled by Glover. Regardless of character development and nifty political observations, it’s the action that dominates proceedings. Director Richard Donner has a wail of a time putting the cast through their paces. There’s explosions, fights, shoot-outs, more high speed pursuits, and on it goes till we get to the finale, and it’s a potential cliffhanger one too.

Two more inferior sequels would follow, all of which still made serious money, but this serves notice of the last time that all the elements came together successfully. A stylish Hollywood action comedy with two impressionable lead actors providing a lesson in on screen chemistry success. 7.5/10

Lethal Weapon 2: A complete review in as short as possible

If you’re looking for an extremely enjoyable movie, in all aspects of the word “enjoyable” i seriously recommend this masterpiece! It has everything anyone can ask for: a star-studded cast, excellent performances, masterful directions, engrossing story, amazing action-sequences, witty dialogue, sensational sound track, and this is just the beginning! And if this is not MAGIC then I don’t know what is!

Gibson’s Riggs and Glover’s Murtaugh are amazing, the chemistry here is absolutely amazing! Each complements the other perfectly and the inclusion of Pesci’s Getz is the best thing that could have ever happened to the movie.

It’s not just the performances either. LW2 is an excellent follow-up to the original that spawned 4 sequels and is a MUST-SEE. As a matter of fact, I personally find it to be the best movie throughout the series. Do not pass this one up!
