Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are back in action again,as Riggs and
Murtaugh,two L.A. cops who were first introduced in the first Lethal
Weapon movie.Joe Pesci returns as smart alec Leo Getz,though his role
is smaller in this movie.However Rene Russo joins the gang this time
around.as for the movie itself,i liked it as much as the second
one.there's an exciting chase scene,some great fight scenes,and the
movie is funnier than the first two.Not only do Gibson and Glover have
their back and forth banter,but so do Gibson and Russo.they have great
chemistry together and really work well of each other.the only thing i
didn't like that much about this installment was that the story was
pretty standard for the genre,and the bad guys were your typical
generic,run of the mill crooks.but the performances,the comedy and the
chemistry of the actors make up for that.for me,Lethal Weapon 3 is a
3.5/5

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?!

When a dangerous ex-cop (Stuart Wilson) finds a new way to do away with Cops by making Bullets that could pass through Steal and Bullet Provest. Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover) starts the case with the help of a Tough but Beautiful Internal Affairs Office (Rene Russo).

Directed by Richard Donner (The Omen, Radio Flyer, Superman:The Movie) made a un-even but entertaining sequel, which is the least enjoyable one but it`s fun. Oscar-Winner:Joe Pesci is back as Leo Getz. One of the most successful films at the Box Office in the Summer of 1992. Make Sure to Watch at the Very End. Panavision. Grade:B.

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!

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.
