Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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


Synopsis

In this fast-moving sequel, police officers Riggs and Murtaugh must protect an accountant who has just laundered a half billion dollars in narcotics money. He leads them to a murderous syndicate with ties to a foreign power.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great film, but cut by the BBFC., 11 Aug 2007
By H. Baker (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lethal Weapon 2 [DVD] [1989] (DVD)
It may be the 'Director's Cut' but it's still missing over 30 seconds. The BBFC seems to think the British public can't be trusted to differentiate between fantasy and reality, when the rest of the world can.

The parts cut are as follows:

*SPOILERS*
(1) After Riggs has made his underwater escape from the bag, he climbs back onto the dock and kills two henchmen before going back down to collect Rika. He attacks one with a chain and breaks his neck. He then repeatedly slams the other guys head in the car door (A big no-no at the BBFC). In the UK version, it just cuts from him coming up out of the water to him carrying Rika on the dock.
(2) In final gunfight, Riggs empties his entire clip into a henchman (About 10 or so shots). In the UK version, he shoots him just twice, then it makes a horrendous jump cut that makes no sense to see him standing over the body.
*END OF SPOILERS*

Don't buy this version. If you have a multi-region player, go for the Region 1 or Region 4 edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars To miss this would be Lethal, 8 Nov 2001
This review is from: Lethal Weapon 2 [DVD] [1989] (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cut by 31 secs, 29 Dec 2004
By Mr. Steven Mckinlay "retrostar23" (Falkirk, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lethal Weapon 2 [DVD] [1989] (DVD)
A great movie but like so many UK releases has been censored. The R1 US version and the R4 Australian Version are UNCUT!

R4 editions are PAL format and do not require a region hack or multi region player.
