Summary: Completely Lethal
Review: If you want all 4 Lethal Weapon movies conveniently all together in a nice little cardboard box, this is for you. If you are looking for jam-packed DVDs loaded with extras you may be disapointed somewhat. The first film does have some cool deleted scenes and I believe there is a commentary track as well. But they get thinner as the movies go along.

Just because DVDs arent 2-disc and loaded with extras doesnt mean they cant be good. I am very happy with this purchase and think the DVDs are very well done. Perhaps I am spoiled by the Die Hard Supersized triple pack, and that is why I gave it 4 stars. One star for each disc.

Overall, this 4 pack is great for the Lethal Weapon fan, but will come up short for the DVD enthusiast who loves massive extras.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gotta Have It
Review: If you're planning to purchase this DVD set no doubt you are already a big fan of the "Lethal Weapon" series or are buying it for someone who already is, so you don't need a long dissertation about each of the movies. It's just great having the entire series in the DVD format. You can't go wrong in adding this set to your collection! Go for it and have yourself a "Lethal Weapon" marathon!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hours of explosions and laughs
Review: Let's face it, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson have undertaken more serious acting roles then Murtaugh (Glover) and Riggs (Gibson), but probably not any that were more fun. Lethal Weapon is typical of the buddy cop movies and follows the developing relationship of Murtaugh, who is just celebrating his 50th birthday and Riggs, who is suicidal over the recent death of his wife, as well as their attempt to bring down a large drug smuggling operation. Both Glover and Gibson do an excellent job bringing raw emotion into what could have been merely a smash-up action movie.

Lethal Weapon 2 introduces a hysterical Joe Pesci as Leo Getz, a witness who Riggs and Murtaugh are assigned to protect. Though the premise is the same as LW1, Murtaugh and Riggs going after the bad man, Pesci adds freshness and humor. Watch for the scene where Riggs discusses the death of his wife, powerful with an outstanding supporting performance by Darlene Love.

In Lethal Weapon 3, Pesci returns as Getz, and Lorna Cole, played by Rene Russo, is introduced as an internal affairs officer. In this outing, Murtaugh and Riggs, along with Cole, are after a cop turned bad. Lots of fun and good acting and noteworthy performances by the supporting cast particularly Damon Hines as Nick Murtaugh.

Chris Rock steps up as the new face in Lethal Weapon 4 which finds Lorna Cole and an unmarried Rianne Murtaugh (much to her father's dismay) both pregnant. Jet Li has an excellent turn as the villian in this outing. The perfect mix of martial arts action and comedy.

I enjoyed them all

Summary: Don't buy the Direct Cut and the LW 4 (Premiere Collection)
Review: Lethal Weapon Legacy (Director's Cut) [3 Discs] with Lethal Weapon 4 (Widescreen), you need to pay CDN$67.46, but this "Complete Series" only for CDN$59.92.

You will found all the features and even the movie no differences with the Director's Cut and the Vol 4 (Premiere Collection). Why use more money to get the movies ?

I think the "Warner Home Video" just want to get money from the guy don't have time to search and compare the products.

I want to give this movies 4-1/2 stars but Amazon only let me choose 4 or 5 stars.

All 4 Lethal Weapon is a good movie except the Vol 4 because they just waste the good action star "Jet Li", if you have seen Jet Li others movie you will knew that in this movie he cannot fully to show off his Kung Fu and fast action.

Want to know what I said about "Jet Li", try these movies "Remeo Must Die", "Kiss of the Dragon", "The One" and if you want to see more exciting Kung Fu movie of Jet Li, then try "Legend", "Once upon a time in China", "The Enforcer", etc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Magic Is All Here
Review: Okay what can I say, Lethal Weapon 1 was great, Lethal Weapon 2 as far as I'm concerned was the best in the series and the introduction of Joe Pesci was great, 3 was good too not the best but still very good, and Lethal 4 WOW WOW WOW it was brilliant and so was the extras on the DVD

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Four Of The Grittiest Cop Dramas Ever Made
Review: One of the greatest film series ever to grace the screen, the "Lethal Weapon" series has been immortalized with this amazing boxed set. And with 4 of some of the finest action movies ever made, who wouldn't want it?

1987's "Lethal Weapon" is where it all began. Danny Glover is Roger Murtaugh, a decent and respected cop who has a beautiful home, & a loving family, plus a hefty pension to boot. Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) is just the opposite. He lives alone on the beach. He is a suicidal wreck, about to snap at any moment. But he can still blow any s.o.b who comes within a 50 - foot radius of him. So imagine the surpris when these are put together to solve a mysterious suicide. Well, the result is magic, complete with spine - cracking action and plenty of humor. A classic.

1989's "Lethal Weapon 2" finds the two cops back on the street. Murtaugh is still the family man but now is more of a risktaker, while Riggs still is the daredevil of the two, but has calmed down... somewhat. When Murtaugh's house is invaded by German criminals, the two begin to crack drown on a drug ring operating somewhere in the city. The duo is put in charge to protect a murder witness named Leo Getz (a hilarious Joe Pesci), a big - mouthed money launderer who somewhat helps the team find out what they need to know. This is another great addition to the "LW" cannon.

After a 4 - year absence, Riggs and Murtaugh are back (along with Leo) in 1993's "Lethal Weapon 3". And now they have a new addition to the crew: Lorna Cole (Rene Russo), an Internal Affairs agent who turns out to be the perfect match for Riggs. what ensues is a race top stop a crime ring selling armor - piercing bullets that could kill with one shot. The most action -packed "Weapon" yet, including Gibson's amazing jump 80 feet of a roof on a motorcycle.

"Lethal Weapon 4" came after a 5 - year hiatus. I know that many consider it the low point in the series, but I enjoy it. Things have changed for the two cops. Murtaugh's family is about to grow bigger with the addition of a granddaughter, and another child. Riggs has seemed to have conquered his demons and lives with Lorna, who is also expecting a child. Leo is now a cop as well, and still doesn't know when to shut the hell up. Now, the team has to stop a Japaneese counterfeit ring. What ensues is a great chase sequence, high - octane humor and great kung - fu sequences. Adding to the fun is Jet Li as the villian and Chris Rock as a cop on the force, plus the godfather of Riggs' new child.

This is a great boxed set, perfect for fans of great action movies. I highly recommend it.

Summary: One of the Best Action Series of All Time
Review: The "Lethal Weapon" series is one of the most explosively entertaining action series ever, and not just because of the explosions and stunts, but more importantly the chemistry of the entire cast. Mel Gibson and Danny GLover were meant to work with each other. Their chemistry is just rare. Joe Pesci and Chris Rock are hilarious, Rene Russo makes a formidable love interest for Gibson, and Jet Li is one of the most electrifying villains on the screen, period. Enjoy the ride.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blockbusting action classics
Review: The adventures of the slightly unhinged cop and his long-suffering partner (played by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover respectively) will go down in the annals as some of the greatest action films ever made. What is most marvellous about these films is that the formula -- (an immensely successful mixture of violent action, hilarious antics and sheer stylishness) -- has not worn out after four instalments. Brilliant.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Action Movies
Review: The Best Movies with cops teamed up starring Mel Gibson Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, and stars like Rene Russo, Chris Rock and Jet-Li. The Fourth One Is Kind Of My Favorite One Because it's kind of funny and action-packed!. But There Are Also Some Cool Features on the fourth DVD including a featurette, deleted scenes from the other three movies. These Movies you will love
on DVD.
