Review of Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) by Philip R — 30 Mar 2010
For L.A.P.D. police officers Sgt. Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Sgt. Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), they stopped U.S. Army drug smugglers in 1987, corrupt South African Diplomats in 1989, and a ruthless L.
A.P.D. officer in 1992. In 1998, they go after Chinese triads, led by a deadly high ranking negotiator name Wah Sing Ku (Jet Li), while dealing with personal problems in the fourth and final installment to the Lethal Weapon trilogy.
With them again is the always irritating Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), who is now a private investigator. Sgt. Lorna Cole (Rene Russo), who is pregnant with Riggsâ?? first child. And a newcomer: the serious but loudmouth L.
A.P.D. Sgt. Lee Butters (Chris Rock). This was the 1st Lethal movie I ever heard. I was nine years old when it came out that summer; my parents went to see it while my brother and I went to see SMALL SOLDIERS.
There were some great moments like when Riggs chasing one of the thugs through Chinatown, the freeway chase, and the infamous dentist scene. The most intense sequence would have to be the climax between the boys and Li.
Speaking of Jet Li, whoâ??s one of Hong Kongâ??s biggest stars at that time; this was his first American movie was kind of creepy in his performance. In an interview he did while filming, he said Heâ??s big fan of the Lethal Weapon films and was happy to be a part of it.
I would have to say that LETHAL WEAPON 4 is the most intense and most entertaining one Iâ??ve ever seen. THE LETHAL WEAPON movies ARE ACTION MOVIE CLASSICS AND YOU WILL LOVE THEM!
