Finally, all the Lethal Weapons together on Blu-Ray! These are the original theatrical versions with the deleted or added scenes from other versions kept separate. This leaves this classic series the way it should be even though many liked those scenes in; most of those scenes however didn't add anything to the movies.

Watching all 4 on consecutive nights brought back how good the acting, characters, drama, comedy, writing, everything is. Despite his recent meltdowns, Gibson really made his name as an actor here and his teaming with Glover is just perfect. The supporting cast - Pesci, Russo, Rock, along with those who played Glover's family (and they were the same actors through the series - not always done, the police officers/captain and psychiatrist - just added and fit in. I think the final credits of LW 4 show that with basically a family photo album (remember those) scrolling through.

I haven't watched the extras yet but there's a lot and they look to be quite in depth. Both the picture and sound translated quite well to Blu-Ray even though LW 1 came out in 1987(!).

All-in-all, a classic movie series gets the treatment it deserves. Highly recommended to any Lethal Weapon fan and, frankly, to any movie fan.

the set came packaged well, on the due date and this customer well satisfied. I am not a Mel Gibson fan anymore but the acting and
stunts in this set well done, funny and a credit to main actor like Danny Glover etc. They are enjoyed with no bias for future personal failings in life. They entertain on there own merit. Thank you seller for prompt attentions.

I loved all 4 films the first time I saw them, and, I really enjoyed watching them again. I keep expecting a fifth film to surface.

Great movies, we all know that, bluray quality is great for 1980s movies. Again rather have 4 individual cases versus the one big one thats cane break easily and isn't stupid easy to close but still really happy.

5 stars for the movies. 4 stars for the VOLUNTARY omission of a Drector's Cut as the one I have on DVD. I love the complete series. But, I'm a bit disappointed that it's NOT the Director's Cut. I have the DC on DVD and I feel it's much better than the theatrical version. We should at least have both versions to choose our own preference. You DO have lots of extended scenes as an extra, but not as part of the movies. For the P & A quality, refer to Blu-ray.com's complete review. To summarize, all of the movies have been restored and they look really great. Enjoy! Until they decide to exploit us for the Extended Director's Cut.

The packaging for this bluray is crap. Picture quality and audio are the best. My only disappointment is this set does not contain the directors cut version of these films.

Lethal Weapon Legacy (Director's Cut) [3 Discs] with Lethal Weapon 4 (Widescreen), you need to pay CDN$67.46, but this "Complete Series" only for CDN$59.92.

You will found all the features and even the movie no differences with the Director's Cut and the Vol 4 (Premiere Collection). Why use more money to get the movies ?

I think the "Warner Home Video" just want to get money from the guy don't have time to search and compare the products.

I want to give this movies 4-1/2 stars but Amazon only let me choose 4 or 5 stars.

All 4 Lethal Weapon is a good movie except the Vol 4 because they just waste the good action star "Jet Li", if you have seen Jet Li others movie you will knew that in this movie he cannot fully to show off his Kung Fu and fast action.

Want to know what I said about "Jet Li", try these movies "Remeo Must Die", "Kiss of the Dragon", "The One" and if you want to see more exciting Kung Fu movie of Jet Li, then try "Legend", "Once upon a time in China", "The Enforcer", etc.

I have bought several of these "4 Film Favorites". They are dirt cheep and amazing value. I know a lot of people don't seem to like the 2 sided discs, but I am always very careful with them, and have had no problems. If the disc cracked, I would send it back to Amazon. They have always stood behind their products. I had bought the set already, but when I got home I did some research, and discovered that the Lethal Weapon discs even when bought in other more fancy editions, rarely had any more extras than they are given here. The Superman Set is also very good.Lethal Weapon: 4 Film Favorites - Lethal Weapon 1-4

Finally, all four of the "Lethal Weapon" movies are available in one boxed set. One of the greatest series ever to grace the screen, the movies have Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as cops on the edge bttling internation criminals while trying to keep their lives in order.

1987's "Lethal Weapon" is where it all began. Roger Murtaugh (Glover) is a veteran cop who is also a consumate family man. He is very careful and doesn't take any risks. Martin Riggs (Gibson), on the other hand, is a lonely, suicidal police officer who takes risks that even Dirty Harry wouldn't do. How could these do ever work together? Well, when a young girl mysterious jumps to her death out of a highrise apartment window, the two are assigned to work together. What ensues is a nonstop action (including a shootout at a Christmas Tree store and a a daring rescue of Murtaugh's daughter) as well as lots of funny moments. Also, the two cops, opposite as they are, strike up a friendship that would go on to make millions at the box office.

1989's "Lethal Weapon 2" has Gibson and Glover back in their roles. The two cops are slightly different now. Murtaugh is still the family man but now is more of a risktaker. Riggs is still the more daring of the two but has calmed down... somewhat. When Murtaugh's house is invaded by German criminals, the duo cracks down on a crime ring selling drugs. To make things a little more interesting for them, they are assigned to look after Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), a big moout money laundere in the Witness Protection program. Pesci turns in one of his finest comedic performances in this film. Like the first one, it's exciting and funny.

1993's "Lethal Weapon 3" came after a 4 - year hiatus. This one is my personal favorite. Gibson and Glover are back yet again, and Joe Pesci returns to the fold as well. Murtaugh is getting ready to retire from the force in this installment, leaving Riggs a little down. Somehow, Murtaugh knows that his last case will be a dangerous one. A shady ex - cop is selling armor - piercing bullets to his workers and kidnaps the police chief. Once again, Murtaugh and riggs have to keep the city from mass destruction while keeping themselves alive. This film icludes several great scenes, including the opening bomb sequence, the motorcycle off the roof sequence and the coda. This film is significant because Lorna Cole (Rene Russo) joins the team. She will go on to play an important role in Riggs' life.

"Lethal Weapon 4" came aftr a 5 - year hiatus. Most people call it the weakest effort of the series, but I like it. In this one, Riggs is now much more somber, finding inner peace with himself thanks to Lorna (Rene Russo), who is giving birth to Riggs' first child. Murtaugh is preparing to become a grandfather. Joe Pesci's Leo Getz is now a cop. Chris Rock is also a member of the force and the godfather of Riggs' grandchild. One thing stands in the way of this happy time. A Japanese crime ring led by Jet Li is plotting something and Riggs and Murtaugh go on one last adventure before riding into the sunset - amidst a frenzy of babies.

Overall, great dvd set. These are among my all - time favorite films. Let's hope that the cast reassmebles for "Lethal Weapon 5" soon.

4 great movies! Full of action, drama, laughs..it's got the whole package.
