Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Mel Gibson + Danny Glover = Non Stop Entertainment!!!!, August 23, 2002

By	"bb1975" (Jasper, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews

"You have the right to remain unconscious, anything you say ain't gonna be much". My favorite line from my favorite Lethal Weapon movie, said by the great Mel Gibson. Gibson and Glover have incredible chemistry, and part 3 of this series is definitely up to par and then some! I have all 4 of the movies on DVD, but I've watched this one more times than any of the rest. I remember going and watching it at the movies back in the summer of '92, hard to believe that it's been 10 years now since this movie's release. Richard Donner is truly a master at his craft, and continues to come up with great ideas for his movies. Joe Pesci is hilarious, he is in top form in this one. His addition to the fold made a great series of movies even better. The plot of the movie is basically centered around the boys trying to bring down a former cop named Jack Travis who's gone bad, really bad. Along the way is the usual sensational action, drama, and comedy that you've come to know, love, and expect from a Letal Weapon movie. I love it, and would recommend it to anyone who loves a great movie. This is my fav out of the 4, with the other 3 being a very close 2nd. If you are looking for the total package out of an action flick, then look no further. In my opinion this one is the best of the best. If you've never seen it, watch it. If you don't own it yet, what are you waiting for?!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, but not as good as the others., October 31, 2008

By	Michael R. Blasdel "Bauer007" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lethal Weapon 3 (Director's Cut) (DVD)

Now don't get me wrong, this movie is deffinetly a good and entertaining movie to watch. It has good action and a lot of comedy, however it is probably the worst one in the series. Lethal Weapon 3 seemed to tone down the movie series quite a lot. It doesn't have the same dark and erie feel as the 1st two do. I know it's rated R but it seems more like a family "budy-cop" movie than the raw and gritty 1st two of the franchise. The ending isn't that great and Riggs seems to have lost almost all of his Special Forces training and fighting like you saw in the 1st two, ESPEICALLY at the end of the 1st one. If i had to rate tem I'd rate them

Lethal Weapon = 5 stars
Lethal Weapon 2 = 4.5 stars
Lethal Weapon 3 = 3.5 stars
Lethal Weapon 4 = 4 stars

It's deffinetly worth seeing and watching but my suggestion is watch this 1 first so that way when you see it you wont be as dissapointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Leo, get Real!, September 25, 2005

By	K. Klosterhaus "Klaus" (Romeo, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lethal Weapon 3 (Director's Cut) (DVD)

Again, enjoyable in the true sense of the Lethal Weapon movies, this one has our 2 heroes bullying innocents and laughing about it (oh, those loveable cops); Leo Getz going places no civilian could go and getting slapped like a 3 Stooges foil, except his vulgarity increases (wait until LW 4). Now Riggs is not crazy at all, that's all gone, but he's in LUV.... with a dog and a female alter ego. The bad guys are a little trite, and unreal, but this IS a fiction.
Watch out for LW 4, it gets hypocritical. Every police department respects and depends on the NRA for their training and gun handling, only this one has anti-NRA posters on the wall. Yeah, right! The "Holly-weenies" came out in force in that one. And the "F" word must cover half the script for "LW 4". Thanks, I'll take my wife and kids just for laughs.
