Rating: Summary: This is good, but the 3 pack is better... Review: The Lethal Weapon series in itself is a great set of movies, and this is a flat-out good pack of movies for the fans of the Lethal Weapon series. This has the original DVDs with the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and the Widescreen video, but I'm a fan of extras so I like the 3 pack director's cut better.If you feel like getting all four movies in pack, go for it: otherwise I would get the cheaper three pack and buy LW 4 seperately.
Rating: Summary: I Love It!!!! Review: These movies are the best movies!!! They are my favorite! There is a perfect mix of comedy, action, and drama!! I highly recommend it and I'm going out to buy them tomorrow!!
Rating: Summary: Great buy! Review: This is an awesome collection of 4 action packed, full of laughter and good times movies you will ever watch. You have your choice of widescreen or full screen on the first 3 movies (widescreen only on the 4th) and Lethal Weapon 4 has alot of special features that will add more than enough entertainment than any one person can stand. The fact that they were abke to keep most of the characters around (and keep adding new ones with each movie) was amazing and allowed you to get to know each character better and better with each movie. You will be hard pressed to find a better collection of movies (at least until Star Wars & Idiana Jones come out) and the only other set that matches these so far is the Die Hard series. Buy this set and you won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Action and humor¡ Review: This is the great movie I ever seen about Mel Gibson, time ago from Mad Max, this thriller genre makes a great and explosive adventure with a couple of good things, Danny Glover are the side of humor as Joe Pesci, Lethal Weapon I and II feature the dark side of the life, Lethal Weapon III and IV, are the white side......

Rating: Summary: The Lethal Weapons Review: This special edition box set with all the Lethal Weapons is an impressive package with some good extra material. The first of the Weapon films is still the best, with Mel Gibson as the suicidal cop Martin Riggs paired up with Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) as his reluctant partner. The action is great, and while it does tend to get carried away sometimes (not helped By Richard Donner's frenetic pacing), it's still the most fun of the franchise, and one of the best action films of the 80's. Mel is great in one of his first major film roles, and Glover works well with Gibson. Director Donner, who gave us Superman (1978), directed all the Weapon films, but this one is the undisputed finest. Action at it's most outrageous. The second instalment is not quite as good as the first, but its still exciting frenetic fun, with some witty humour. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are the partner- in -crime duo again, and this one sees Riggs and Murtaugh joined by Joe Pesci as Leo Getz, the annoying cop who returns in parts 3 and 4. The action is as impressive as the former one, and director Richard Donner's hard- as-nails approach to the film makes it as exhilarating as it's predecessor. Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 are the weakest of the franchise, yet still retain soome of the cool action present in the first 2 films, with Gibson and Glover doing a "take the money and run" deal. The action is good, and in Lethal Weapon 4, Jet Li as the bad guy ups the hard-edged approach. However, the last two films aren't as much fun. The extras are good, if not great, with trailers, Featurettes, Behind-the-scenes Footage an Audio Commentary and some additional Footage.
Rating: Summary: Your Never To Old For This S***!!!!! Review: What I consider to be not just the best Mel Gibson or Danny Glover films, but also there not many movies made that you can say that the sequlls are not just as good as the original, or maybe even better! Starting from part one you have Mel Gibson and Danny glover, and then in part 2 the action continues and introduces a new charactor "Leo Getz"(Joe Pesci) who adds a new twist to the great L.A Cop duo! Then part 3 introduces "Rene Russo" (Launa) who brings a kick arse action figure for women! Then Part 4 brings in the martial arts star "Jet Li" and funny man "Chris Rock"! So as the movies progress, the story just gets better and better and the cast get bigger and bigger! all 4 of these movies are great and you wont be disapointed in this purchase! I'm reveiwing the regoin 4 discs that the first 3 films are "Directers cut" editions and part 4 contains English Subtitles and Danny Glovers hosting into the behind the scenes of the leathel weopen movies, with the cut scenes, deleted scenes, outtakes and more great features! This pack is worth the money if your into highly packed great action adventure with that comic spirit but yet beleivable touch to it!
Rating: Summary: BEST MOVIE !!! Review: When I saw this movie I just loved it.This is one of the best movies ever.The Mel Gibson's character is very funny.But with Danny Glover they make the most funny and exciting movie ever.
Rating: Summary: A must for the Lethal Weapon completist Review: Whenever I buy the videos or DVDs of my favorite movies, I make every effort to get the 'Director's Cut' or 'Special Edition' versions, if possible and/or available. These are the ones that have new or restored footage that was originally cut from the theatrical release, usually due to time constraints. For some unfathomable reason, I always feel that my video collection is incomplete without the whole, uncut films. So, in my case, purchasing the Lethal Weapon 1-3 Director's Cut videos was a no-brainer. When I first viewed the Director's Cut of the Lethal Weapon's, the newly restored scenes blended in with the rest of the movies so well that I hardly noticed them... almost like they were always there, and I just overlooked them. It's kinda hard for me to fully explain it, but its probably due to the fact that the new moments seemed somewhat repetitive in nature. In one restored scene from LW1, Riggs (Mel Gibson) goes up against a playground sniper, which showcased his reputation for being a hard (& head) case. But there are several other times in LW that showed this. I experienced the same thing with the added moment of Riggs looking for...um, companionship... in the rain, which gave further insight into his lonely existence as a widower. The big new moment for LW2 was Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) attempting to use a complicated numerology system to figure out the address number of a hillside residence. Just another moment of comedy relief, which was Leo's duty throughout number 2. LW3 had fewer moments of new stuff than the first two, the main addition being a results-oriented Murtaugh (Danny Glover) using a high-performance sports car as an interrogation tool. This strongarm approach was displayed at other times in LW3. Hey, wait a minute... I just spent some time dredging for deeper meaning in cut scenes from shoot-em-up, testosterone-laden action movies... I gotta get outside more often... Anyway, back to business... My only gripe is that the Director's Cut versions of the first three LW's have not been released on DVD, just the standard editions. Being a maven of the new format, I'm highly disappointed by this. To get those extra goodies, I'm gonna have to settle for VHS. It's a small price to pay...
Rating: Summary: 'Lethal' Mouths Review: [Damn] do these guys talk a lot or what? Riggs and Murtaugh (Mel Gibson and Danny Glover) don't know when to quit. All they do is argue. It's like watching an episode of "The People's Court." In "Lethal Weapon," Riggs sports a mullet and teams up with old man Murtaugh to taken down a syndicate. The first movie is the best. More syndication going on in the sequel, "Lethal Weapon 2." The mullet is back with Murtaugh. They are assigned to protect one of the most annoying guys in the world. Joe Pesci plays that man. More talking, more action and explosions. Good sequel. "Lethal Weapon 3" is cutting it close with it's overuse of bad jokes. The mullet is way too long here. Rene Russo was added in the cast to show more flair. Ok movie. Finally in "Lethal Weapon 4" you have Joe Pesci and Chris Rock going back and forth about cellular phone companies. The mullet has disappeared. Yes! Too bad Jet Li's character didn't get a hold of Leo and Noisy Guy #2. It's not flied lice, it's fried rice. Offensive! The most action, noise and nonsense were all rolled into this movie. It's still a good series that people will enjoy.
