Buddy-cops Martin Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Glover) are back, trying to keep a key witness (Joe Pesci) - and themselves - alive in LETHAL WEAPON 2. Murtaugh is still the rock-solid family man. Riggs is still the reckless daredevil, but now he counts the odds before bucking them. He cracks more jokes too. "I thought in this film I could take Riggs in a completely different direction," Gibson says. Fun it is. And exciting, from its breathless, opening chase through L.A. streets to its ragining gun-battle finale. In between, there's a six-strorey plummet from a window, a booby-trapped toilet, a Houdini-like underwater escape and the incredible destruction of a chic hillside stilt house. "With Mel and Danny, Joe is the third stooge," director Richard Donner says. That makes three drop-dead funny guys. It's police procedure, Lethal style. And it's yours to enjoy as the duo draws a bead on criminals hiding behind diplomatic immunity.
