Lethal Weapon 3

Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Stuart Wilson

Superstars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return with director Richard Donner for Lethal Weapon 3, the third in the phenomenally successful action series. In this film, Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is o... read more read more...nly eight days away from retirement and his partner, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), once again manages to get them both into hot water with both the LAPD and the bad guys, who this time are Jack Travis (Stuart Wilson) and a gang of hoodlums selling armor-piercing bullets. Joe Pesci returns as the fast-talking schmuck Leo Getz. A new addition to the cast is Rene Russo as Lorna Cole, a sergeant from internal affairs sent to investigate Riggs and Murtaugh, but who ultimately ends up falling in love with the caffeinated Riggs. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    Third entry in the Lethal Weapon franchise is a film with mixed results. I really have mixed opinions on the series, and personally, I thought the first was the best one. The first entry was the most exciting, most thrilling, and best written film in the entire series. Obviously... read more sequels followed, and they all had the daunting task of outdoing the original, or predecessor. Lethal Weapon 3 is the second sequel to Lethal Weapon, and it's entertaining, but smething about this film bugs me. Like I said, I never really was that big a fan of these films, and preferred the first. I was more a Die Hard fan. The premise of this story is cool and Mel Gibson plays a cool, mean spirited tough cop. But there's just something about this film that just doesn't cut it for me. I really didn't like Joe Pesci in this film, and I thought he was irritating as hell, I consider his character to be the Jar Jar Binks of the Lethal Weapons. Lethal Weapon 3 nearly succeeds at being a passable sequel for me, but doesn't quite make it. thought the film could have been better, and with the interesting plot, Lethal Weapon 3 could have been a splendid film. But if Richard Donner would've selected his cast more closely, NOT write a part for Joe Pesci, this film would have been better. Entertaining, but not as good as I'd hope it would be.

    The third part of Richard Donner's cop buddy series is the silliest. It puts a lot more emphasis on humor, but once again offers plenty of violence and ruthless villains. While the plot is merely a variation of the former two films it works mostly thanks to the great chemistry be... read moretween Gibson and Glover. With plenty of laughs, gunfights and car chases not much can go wrong, after all.

    Not quite as good as the first two, but honestly, how were they supposed to top two of the greatest action movies ever made? What's great here is that Riggs and Murtaugh are still as strong as ever, as is their new sidekick Leo. Rene Russo was a great addition to the cast and is ... read morethe perfect match for Riggs. Mel Gibson's dog biscuit diet in this was almost as crazy as his rage fueled rampage at the end. This has some really cool sequences in this, the most impressive being the motorcycle chase. In the end, it's a great continuation of the characters and it should please any fan.

    Another dull 90's Action sequel, where I'm not entirely sure what the theme of the film was if I were to have to explain it to anyone, took several attempts to get through this one.

    Things started to show some wear and tear by this point, but this is still a highly entertaining film filled with tons of laughs, great action sequences, and some really fun moments. Rene Russo is great as the newcomer, and Gibson and Glover are as reliable as always. Pesci isn't... read more as good this time around, and he's a bit too obnoxious, but it could be worse.

    Not my favorite in the series, but a decent entry nonetheless.

    Another great sequel but Pesci can get a little annoying to watch (I guess that was the point though)

    The third and should of been final weapon flick. This is still pretty good, it just gets by. The baddies aren't too intense this time which lets it down and the intro of Russo gives it a weak point that turns it too light hearted, but the action is still there, it looks good n re... read moreal and just about hits the spot. Could of done with being more adult orientated like the first two though. The cast, apart from Russo, work well here, Pesci adding great comedic relief again and the story with Riggs n Murtaugh becoming ever closer is nice. The start of the flick having Riggs in his 'blues' is a funny angle that works well. Just needed abit more of an adult edge.

    Iim too old for this shit'

    It just keeps getting better. A hilarious, pulse-pounding action-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. An off the wall joy-ride that still delivers the goods. Gibson and Glover never fail to deliver in their chemistry as buddy cops. The action is tougher, the laughs are funnie... read morer and the stars are stronger than ever.

    Not only the magic is back - its 3 times more powerful!!!

    Gibson and Glover reunite as the 'chaos and mayhem' partners of the LAPD- along with sidekick Pesci as the fast and trash talkin Leo Getz. Joining them is wild card Rene Russo as an Internal affairs officer who ma... read morekes Riggs (gibson) look like an ametuer brawler when dealing with the bad guys.

    Now the team have to deal with a vicious gang of armed dealers led by a ex-cop who has a taste for brutality.

    The actions as fast as the talk and both are GOLD - From the opening bomb blast (hilarious) to Riggs setting alite the houses (yeeehaaaa) its a rollercoaster ride.

    SEE IT FOR YOURSELF - make sure you bring popcorn and a dozen of your best friends - DO NOT MISS THIS!
