The series formula started to kick in with this immediate sequel to Lethal Weapon, but that doesn't necessarily make it a weak movie. Joe Pesci joins the fold, Richard Donner directs again, and Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as LAPD partners, their relationship smoother now that Gibson's character has recovered from his maddening grief over his wife's death. But the reckless Mel and cautious Danny equation, good for a million laughs, settles into place in this story involving a South African smuggler and a new girlfriend (Patsy Kensit) for Gibson. The movie is hardly comfy, though. The last act gets nasty, and a climactic fight between Gibson (who gets the worst of it) and some high-kicking villain is ugly. --Tom Keogh

 Lethal Weapon 2 January 21, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Los Angeles P.D. officers Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs are back, and this time they are chasing a thug in a red BMW. When the car crashes, several million dollars in Krugerand - South African currency - spill out of the trunk. After Murtaugh is ambushed in his home by a group of South African thugs, they speculate that the vehicle they were chasing may be linked. When their captain assigns them to guard a witness in a drug case, they soon find out that the drug dealers the witness was dealing with are South African diplomats hiding behind their immunity to carry out cocaine smuggling. Riggs also discovers that one of the consulate employees is in fact the murderer of his wife After the thugs kill a consul secretary Riggs was in love with, and several fellow police officers are murdered by the diplomats, Riggs & Murtaugh exact angry, bloody revenge against the psychopathic drug-dealing diplomats. The action in this movie is kept in the same style as in the first movie and it is still both exhilarating and entertaining.
 Great Flick, Disappointing Blu-Ray December 27, 2009
SeventhWard (California)
This is one movie that badly needs a remaster. The Blu-Ray was made from an old 1080i master that has been upscaled to 1080p so the image is full of jaggies and visible pixels. Still a fun movie after all these years but when I buy Blu-Ray I expect reference level quality - this one just doesn't deliver. Prepare for the old Hollywood Double Dip.

This series is one of the few that actually works. I enjoyed this one fully as much as the first--maybe better
Series review June 26, 2009
George D. Seitz (Vermilion, OH)
I received Lethal Weapon 2 as part of a series, and really enjoyed watching the whole series, one after another. The Blu-Ray format brought out more of the movie's depth, and was a very good performance.
Fun Action Flick May 23, 2009
D. Sun (Vallejo, CA United States)
Riggs and Murtaugh. Those eighties cop movies and cop buddy movies were great and few duos were better than Gibson and Glover as the odd couple pair of cops who start out hating each other, but grow into the best of friends as the series progressed.
This second Lethal Weapon was just about as good as the first with several memorable scenes and moments. They sometimes blur together now, but I believe this one had the classic surfboard scene, the incredibly hot short haired blonde, and the racist South Africans. Diplomatic immunity?
Well worth seeing and a great action film.
