Product Description
CONTAINS: LETHAL WEAPON, LETHAL WEAPON 2, LETHAL WEAPON 3, ANDLETHAL WEAPON 4.
Amazon.com
The explosive and edgy Lethal Weapon introduced America to its favorite modern buddy team: Mel Gibson's suicidal firecracker Martin Riggs, a Vietnam vet whose reckless stunts earn him a reputation as the Los Angeles Police Department's least desirable partner, and Danny Glover's aging family man Roger Murtaugh, a veteran detective who wants nothing more than to gracefully live to see his pension. Richard Donner's smash movie is sleek, stylish, and practically nonstop action, but it's the chemistry between the combustible energy of Gibson and the paternal reserve of Glover that makes this combination so lethal. A sequel was inevitable, so Lethal Weapon 2 sent Riggs and Murtaugh after a South African drug syndicate, tossed funnyman Joe Pesci into the mix as a comic foil, and upped the ante of explosions, car chases, and apocalyptic property damage. Kung fu-kicking Rene Russo signed on for Lethal Weapon 3, a "mad genius run amok" adventure rushed into production without a finished script (and it shows in sloppy ad-libbed scenes) and crammed with wild high-speed chases and spectacular explosions. When Lethal Weapon 4 hit screens in 1998, the starring cast had ballooned: hot comic Chris Rock joined Gibson, Glover, Russo, and Pesci to take on a Chinese counterfeiting and slavery ring led by Hong Kong martial arts superstar Jet Li. Director Richard Donner helms every installment of his series, topping the frenzy of action and pyrotechnics with each new feature; watching the arc of the Lethal Weapon franchise is like a crash course in American action cinema of the '90s: bigger, faster, louder. Yet at the heart of every film is Riggs and Murtaugh, mismatched partners who become unlikely buddies, ready to lay their lives down for one another. By the climax of Lethal Weapon 4, as they team up against the fighting fury of Jet Li, their friendship has become the defining drive of the series. --Sean Axmaker

I really enjoyed all of the great action scenes mixed with a bit of humor . When you buy the collection you wanna watch them straight through because the storyline grows and they kept the same main characters throughout to give it better flow and I loved it!
Fantastic! July 2, 2008

This is a wonderful box set of Lethal Weapon films. I love the combination of Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci together. The action scenes, the comedy and everything else added to the mix makes these films an absolute delight to watch. Buy it now!!!

A DVD set without a dud in it! Mel Gibson & Danny Glover at their best!
One of the top Male Action Series June 26, 2007

What more can be said. The Lethal Weapon series is one of the best Male action guy movies ever made. The fight scene at the end of original Lethal Weapon IMHO is one of thee best ever! Then the people in the past future movies go back to the first (what happened to his girlfriend), and more.
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover should of stayed with the Lethal Weapon series, however with DVD series you can keep it alive!
