Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)

Disclaimer: If you are a viewer that mainly prefers art-house-type movies, then you might as well ignore this review. In addition, if you're not able to take a buddy cop action movie the third sequel in the "Lethal Weapon" series, ignore this review, as well. We'll both be better off.

Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) is for my opinion the second best in the series! I love this flick, I always have enjoyed much more than I did Lethal Weapon 2. I love this sequel, I think is so much better than Lethal Weapon 2! Because the second installment in the series was way too violent movie from the first one, this one was just fun action sequel to the first one and I love it so much! I thought Donner kept the level going for the most part throughout the films!!! Why don't people like the last two movies!! I pretty stayed up half the night for two nights in a row because I got so hooked with these movies!. I especially love Rene Russo she's so sexy, sassy, and kicks a lot of ass in it. A nice addition to the team. Rene Russo in this movie she was the second crush I had on her. She was the most beautiful girl playing a tough cop ever. I was happy her character was not killed off, by the end of the movie. When the film ended I was really sad because I didn't know what happened too Martin Riggs and Lorna Cole, did their romance lasted forever. I was always hooked up and when I hared they are making Lethal Weapon 4 in 1998, I couldn't wait for the fourth installment! I grew up with this movie and it is my childhood movie of all time I love it to death!!!

Rock on Riggs and Murtaugh! Perhaps as a reflection of that, "Weapon 3" depends more on chases, explosions and set pieces than it does on character development. The story again involves the partnership of Riggs and Murtaugh (Gibson and Glover), buddies in the long tradition of movie cop partners. This time Murtaugh is only eight days from retirement, a sure sign in any cop movie that his life will be repeatedly in danger. I remember Lethal Weapon 3 was a lot of fun and I would say it's my 2nd favorite of the series. Stuart Wilson was a good bad guy, humor was great including the banter. It's an entertaining sequel. I know a lot of people don't like this movie like I do a lot of fans prefer Lethal Weapon 2 over this flick, I don't! I think 1 and 3 are great flicks, 2 is my third favorite film in the franchise!!! Part 1 and 3 of Lethal Weapon I absolutely love! I enjoyed Lethal Weapon 2, I like Lethal Weapon 4. I really love Lethal Weapon 3, I always had fun with it. I highly enjoy it. I don't mind the story, a lot of people complain about the story. I think that story is very interesting. I think Joe Pesci has more screen time in this movie than in part 2.

I love when Riggs cut the wrong wire in the opening scene and the whole Building Explodes. They both grabbed the cat and they save the cat ha ha. Than they went on patrol officer now, not anymore detectives. This movie is fun back and forth. The armored car is driven by this crooks and Riggs is chasing it. Riggs eventually has to brake the vehicle hard, causing the armored car to come to a sudden stop, resulting in the bad guy flying through the windshield and coming to rest on the hood and say my favorite line. "You have the right to remain unconscious. Anything you say ain't gonna be much." And Riggs punches the guy in the windshield and says "Back to bed. Back to bed."

The car chase scene Riggs jumps off the subway and commandeers a

Fmovies: This would be my favorite Lethal Weapon film of the fourth films. I know the original Lethal Weapon is people's favorite action film, mine would be the third film. It has humor, action, explosions, martial arts, a lots of gun shootouts. Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci and Rene Russo were excellent in this police action thriller flick. I love Lethal Weapon 3 to death one of the best 90's action films, they don't make em' like this anymore.

In the opening sequence you have a building that explodes, practical done effect for real no CGI bulls***t, I miss in wich they a blow a building on a movie set I miss that, It was done for real. Riggs and Murtaugh only save a cat which is a funny scene but I love it. A high-rise explodes into dust. A housing tract goes up like matchsticks. Riggs takes an 80 foot plunge on a motorcycle. The movie has tons of action and it is not dark. Riggs chases bad guys, who are getting away with the guns on a truck designed to ride the subway rails. Riggs jumps onto the front of the lead subway car shoots at the bad guys. Riggs pursues on a LAPD motorcycle, Travis on the wrong side of a freeway, then into a section that was under construction. Travis manages to get stopped, but Riggs flies off an unfinished ramp, hanging by some cables. The cables give way, and he falls through several platforms, to the ground. Those scenes were practical effects done for real a stunt double was used for Gibson driving a motorcycle and it was a really dangerous stunt.

Rene Russo was my teenage crush in this movie. My wish that time after this movie was released, that they would make Lethal Weapon 4 and they did six years later, with Rene Russo in it. Lethal Weapon was my favorite trilogy in the 90's watching as a kid. Lorna beat bad guys in a garage that was a stunt woman used for the actress. Russo only make a few stunts her self. When a guy punches Lorna that was a stunt woman used instead of actress. Really Rene Russo is a one sexy hot babe Internal Affair investigator Lorna Cole who was the love of my life. Rene Russo I love her in this movie to death. Joe Pesci as Leo Getz from part 2 was incredible funny I love him. Watch the scene in wich Murtaugh and Riggs shots his car tiers. In Murtaugh's bath room was funny scene in whicg Leo gets angry he sold Maurtugh house and he findout he was screwed over by Maurtugh.

The movie has a leason it is about soling guns on a street in which kids got it in their hands. Ex cop Jack Travis (Stuart Wilson) stole the guns from police warehouse and he is dealing and solling the guns on the streets. Maurtugh accidently kills a kid before he retiers and than he blames him self, because the kid was from his son Nick's friend. I love how Riggs helps Murtaugh in tough times. I love the action in here and the funny lines. It come out the same year as Hard Boiled (1992) John Woo action film and Lethal Weapon 3 has similiar plot about gun smugling just this ammo kills cops trough armor pearson. That is why I wrote in my title "cop killers" it is a line that Murtaugh says a few times trough the film.

Demolition Man (1993) my favorite Stallone science fiction, action flick has a poster from this film. The 90's had a bad-ass action films. This is my childhood film and I watch Lethal Weapon trilogy all the time. I love the pacing, the story and the acting from everyone never gets boring or lame. Their a lot of shout outs. Great music score from Michael Kamen the same score he used for Die Hard trilogy. I love the song at th

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

Lethal Weapon 3 fmovies. The third movie in the Lethal Weapon series is once again a great addition. This film is perhaps the best of the bunch. Maybe the first film is a tad better. As I said for the review of the second Lethal Weapon, the crew knows how to make these successful films.

After a disastrous accident, Riggs and Murtaugh have been stripped of their sergeant status. They are now patrolmen and they only have the power to cite jaywalkers. But things gets out of control when a former cop decides to wreak havoc.

The acting once again is fantastic. Glover, Gibson, and Pesci all had great chemistry. The addition of Rene Russo adds more stardom to the cast.

Richard Donner decided to add more comedy to this action-laden film. Let me be the one to tell you that it works out evenly. There is plenty of action to keep the comedy in check.

Overall, this is the a great piece of work. As people say, the third time is the charm. I rate this film 9/10.

Lethal Weapon 3 is the thrid film in the series and just as good. Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and the funny Joe Pesci are all back for the fun. This time they add the sexy Rene Russo to the mix who can hang with Riggs and is just as crazy. Underreated actor Stuart Wilson makes another good bad guy in this good sequel.

Riggs and Murtaugh arrest a man on gun charges just for him to be killed in the interrogation room by ex-cop Jack Travis. Travis is running illegal guns. Riggs and Murtaugh team up with IA officer Cole to track down and stop Travis while Murtaugh also faces trouble at home as the illegal guns impact on his family.

This third in the series is a lot more polished and refined than the first two - there's a lot of money riding on this now! The story is quite good but it's not rocket science. It's really all an excuse to have a series of set pieces - from a building being destroyed to a desert showdown. The romance between Riggs and Cole take away from Riggs' madman style character and makes the film a lot softer. It also makes the action scenes a lot less believable as he seems to revert to action hero on cue. However it does allow some humour. The involvement of Pesci is funny but at times it's a little stretched.

Gibson and Murtaugh are good, mainly because they're just having fun now in well worn characters - like old shoes! Pesci is not quite as annoying as he was in LW2 but is still a bit of a spare wheel. Russo is good as the love interest and handles herself well.

Overall it's good fun but it lacks the dark, rough tone that made LW such a hit in the first place.
