Lethal Weapon
Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He's a Mad Max gone maniacal, a man whose killing expertise and suicidal recklessness make him a Lethal Weapon to anyone he works against. Or with.
Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is an easygoing homicide detective with a loving family, a big house and a pension he doesn't want to lose. Imagine Murtaugh's shock when he learns his new partner is a guy with nothing left to lose: wild-eyed, burnt-out Martin Riggs.
Lethal Weapon is the thrill-packed story of two Vietnam-vets-turned-cops who have just one other thing in common: both hate to work with partners. But their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation leads to all-out, take-no-prisoners, martial-arts-and-machine-guns war with an international heroin ring.

A great series - Pumon
This is one great series of films. All of them are equally great so it is hard to choose a favourite. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are fantastic as a team of cops looking for bad guys and comedic maddness ensus. Wonderful batch of films 1-4 definitly worth watching over and over again80s cheese - egyptnation
For some reason or another I had never gotten around to seeing Lethal Weapon until now and I have to say that it hasn't aged well at all, as opposed to another 80s classic action flick, Die Hard, which I also never saw as a child. I thought that Lethal Weapon had too much bad acting, mostly from the performers who played the bad guys. From a technical standpoint, what really bothered me was the audio mixing. I was way too obvious which lines were recorded in post and which ones were done on location. For most people, they probably don't even notice. But I hate things like that.Awesome movie. - moviegenius
This is a really good movie. I thought it was very funny in some scenes, there was a cute dog and I think Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as cop partners. They did a really good job. The action was awesome. When I was watching it, Mel Gibson just runs up to a guy and twists his neck in a milisecond. My brother said, ``That's a Steven Segal move right there.'' The only problem with this movie is the swearing. If it had no swearing, it would still be a great movie. They don't need the swearing.
