Amazon.co.uk Review

The lightest of the first three films, Lethal Weapon 3 finds everyone occupying comfortable positions like students who always choose to sit in the same classroom seats. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as LAPD partners whose working method consists of the former diving into danger and the latter holding back. (The sequence set in the parking garage of a building, in which Gibson inadvertently trips a switch that makes a timed explosive device speed up, is priceless.) Joe Pesci once again plays a motor-mouth pest, and while the story is pretty much forgettable, it does introduce the best new dynamic in the series, a romance between Gibson and Rene Russo's equally tough but attractive cop. --Tom Keogh

I have a copy of the original which is one of the best thrillers of the eighties, which lacked a great deal of movie quality of any kind, but the sequels really are getting tedious.

The second one was okay, but I wasn't interested in buying it, but the third was downright awful. Russo was simply annoying. She was violent and arrogant. I thought the whole thing was annoying. The biggest mistake the franchise made was lightening up. The dark edge was what made the original work so well.

It is sometimes hard to make a sequel to a great first film, but Lethal Weapon 3 manages to keep the action alive and without leaving you thinking that they should have stopped at Lethal Weapon 2.
In this latest offering Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Glover) are back diffusing bombs, beating up bad guys, whilst still managing to have a great laugh. The addition of Joe Pesci, (who joined in an earlier movie) to the line up gives the whole thing an added dimension; he's a guy you just love to hate, but can't help loving - a fantastic character. The beautiful Rene Russo brings a further depth to the already great cast.
If you love buddy movies then this one is hard to beat, in fact if you love action or comedy then this one is hard to beat.
Lethal Weapon 3 is a great addition to the set, if you haven't got any of the series then buy the lot, if you can't afford them then sell your bed - you won't regret it!

entertaining - u know what you are getting!

There is no doubt, the first two Lethal Weapon films were fantastic, with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover making a great on-screen team. The third instalment is just as good, if not better. The pair are reunited with Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) and we have our first meeting with Lorna Cole (Rene Russo). Riggs and Murtaugh are busted down to beating the street after blowing up a building, and after a simple arrest for an attempted robbery, bust open a case with deceit, corruption in the L.A.P.D., murder and violence (after all, this is a Lethal Weapon film!). Murtaugh (Danny Glover) accidentally kills his son's friend, causing him to reconsider his position in the L.A.P.D. and forces him to seek revenge on the people responsible. Riggs (Mel Gibson) as usual gets the woman and causes the most damage in the final scene! Murtaugh faced with imminent retirement from the force decides against it. After all, he's "not too old for this s**t!" A highly recommended action/adventure film with the perfect mix of comedy, a little romance and blistering special effects!
