From Amazon.co.uk
The series formula started to kick in with this immediate sequel to Lethal Weapon, but that doesn't necessarily make it a weak movie. Joe Pesci joins the fold, Richard Donner directs again, and Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as LAPD partners, their relationship smoother now that Gibson's character has recovered from his maddening grief over his wife's death. But the reckless Mel and cautious Danny equation, good for a million laughs, settles into place in this story involving a South African smuggler and a new girlfriend (Patsy Kensit) for Gibson. The movie is hardly comfy, though. The last act gets nasty, and a climactic fight between Gibson (who gets the worst of it) and some high-kicking villain is ugly. --Tom Keogh

Format:DVD
In my humble opinion, the best of all four of the "Weapons". The characters are well established and the addition of Pesci is pure genius if not a little of a show stealer. A great piece of casting in Josh Ackland as the evil baddy and even Patsy Kensit looks gorgeous and believe me I am not one of her admirers. The action is fast paced, the storyline is good (only feeling dated due to the fall of Aparthied) and the performances from all involved are top notch. This is just one long non stop rollercoaster, especially the destroying of the house on stilts (yes that is a real house that they had to build to full regs due to local laws--just to destroy it!!). This was made for DVD, the explosions and sound effects just jump out at you thanks to the advances made in home sound technology. A bargain and a must for all Gibson/Glover fans.

Format:DVD
This is the sequel to the popular 80s action classic Lethal weapon, Lethal weapon is a superior sequel with once again keeping up a cool story full of action and violence and over the top stunts and a few added twists to the characters stories, the cast once again is brilliant with the addition of a few new faces mainly Joe Pesci and the lovely young Patsy Kensit. This is a great sequel and a must for big fans of 80s action movies!

They're back, they're bad. He's black, he's mad.
The topical plot of Lethal Weapon 2 may seem a little dated now, but Soud Av-ree-gan villains are always despicable and who doesn't love to them get blown away. Read more
