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 partner is a guy with nothing left to lose; wild-eyed, burnt-out Martin Riggs. Lethal Weapon is the trill-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. Director Richard Donner moves that war at two speeds: fast and faster. Hot LA days and nights explode in one show-topping scene after an other, culminating in a no-holds-barred battle between Riggs and his Angel-of-Death nemesis (Gary Busey) - an electrifying sequence incorporating three martial-art-styles and requiring four full nights to film. Fierce, fast and frequently funny, Lethal Weapon fires off round after round of can't miss entertainment.
like i said a very good dvd set i cornt wait 2 watch them thaxs again and my best wishers 2 u all and i hope 2 buy of u again it wos a plesure buying from u and a qick responce from u and many thaxs
Love it Love it Love it. Had them on video but decided to splash out for dvd's, well worth it. Mel Gibson, yum, but besides that still great films. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover work excellently together as this comedy duo. Its got comedy, action and drama all rolled into one, couldn't ask for more. I got it for a great price but its well worth up to £25. A must have for Mel Gibson fans, action film fans, and just everybody.
brilliant these films are absolutley brilliant and a delight to see from statr to finsh on all accounts from the first disc till the fourth the are brilliant to watch mel gibson at his best with danny glover
The lethal weapon films are pretty much easy to watch action films with the odd bit of emotional right of passage stuff thrown in for good measure.
The first film is perhaps the harder to watch as it needs to set the characters and form the relationships between the two hero’s, ultimately leading to their partnership being formed and Riggs coming to terms with his wife’s death.
The second film relies on the fact that you’ve seen the first so you know who’s who and what their relation ships are as do all the following films but the stories aren’t that complex that you don’t necessarily need to have seen them it’s a basic spot the good guys spot the bad guys sorts story.
So to not spoil the films too much for anyone who hasn’t seen these ill keep the rest brief;
- The second film is sort of a revenge film; both the leads have a score to settle.
- The third shows Riggs moving on and finding new love
- And the fourth shows the duo tackling with getting older
Basically easy to watch action movies with a feel good factor.
What’s in the box? Well…
4 DVDs containing the 4 films
Not a lot of extras first 3 might have only had trailers, if that (if I remember correctly)
The first 3 films come in directors cuts but I only noticed one scene in one film that wasn’t on my original VHS, so may mainly be little stuff. The fourth is on a double sided disc, 1 side film 1 side extras. These are extras for that film.
So if you’ve seen them your probably here to buy or to buy if the price is right. If you haven’t I’m surprised you haven’t. It might have been nice for an extras disc with some retrospect interviews, behind the scenes stuff for the 4 and a gag reel or something like that for the collectors amongst us.
love the films never outdated and always raise a smile
dvd set was for the whole lethal weapon series 1 through to 4 - my favourite one is 4 - but the chemistry between mel gibson and danny glover shines through all of the films
What can i say? Lethal Weapon has to be the best 'cop buddy' movie ever. Glover and Gibson go well together as the lead duo and all four films are packed with special effects and comedic (sometimes insane!) moments.
This is a brilliant box set of the offical Lethal Weapon films. With its action packed and funny quotes within this film, it would make the perfect box set for any Lethal Weapon fan or even people who have just heard of the series wanting to see it. With a very good package for the boxset and quality of the dvds are just beautiful makes this a well worth buyer for this extreme action boxset.
I have always loved the Lethal Weapon films, this box set is fantastic! It has restored footage that was previously cut out of the original films for Lethal 1-3 which is and added bonus. You will not be disappointed with this box set if you seek good action films.
I Love to watch movies and the leathal weapon movies 1-4 are a must see for any action/comedy fan ! I purchased the DVD box set on ebay for around £15 which i think is an amazing bargain. There is'nt anything i dislike about my purchase it arrived quickly and well packaged so needless to say im extremely pleased.
The dvd was a set box which i collect the description of their content and condistion were very acurately described. If these goods were an example of products on offer, i will have a great deal more confidence when buying in the future.
I brought this item because i am replacing existing vhs films with dvd's love these film can watch over and over again and they make me laugh everytime. If you haven't seen them they are a must enjoyed by all the family
