This was the movie that caused me to fall in love with Patsy Kensit; a love that would carry me to watch exactly zero more good movies.

I'm not sure why people think this is some substantial dropoff from the first. Joe Pesci plays an annoying character that manages to be amusing instead of grating, and it's about the same as the first otherwise without being a shameless rehash. Also, it's weird to watch this 25 years after the fact and realize where GTA5 got that whole "Tearing down a house on the hill with a truck" idea from.

Just like the first it's ridiculous and nonsensical, but not enough to be over the top fun. At the same time it's not totally mindless so it's watchable, just very forgettable.

I felt like I was watching Cosby Show reruns guest starring some psycho, mullet-wearing cokehead. Then Joe Pesci showed up and I found myself eagerly anticipating a commercial break.

Lethal Weapon is one of those series where I know I've seen at least two of the movies, but I can't remember exactly which ones (the Rocky series is another example). I think this is one of the ones I've seen. What am I basing the score on if that's how little I remember about the film? I'm not sure. I guess I've just ranked it so it looks like I've seen more movies. Plus, I expect this is more or less how I'd feel about it, going by what I do remember.

"grab the cat!" This the sterotype that all other buddy copy movies (now) try to emulate, I would say that this emulates the 48 hours template or rather the 1st one did. Joe Pesci is great as Leo Getz, and remember never talk to your boss while standing on top of painter's plastic.

I have to imagine any Lethal Weapon fans seeing this back in '89 were enormously satisfied. It is the true sequel that ups the scale and the stakes and the action on every level while remaining true to the spirit of the first. Bomb on the toilet, helicopter beach shootout, collapsing stilt house, final dock/ship showdown, all great set pieces. Gibson and Glover continue to deliver in their chemistry. 80s action greatness!

Most memorable line...Joe Peschi giving them advice about the drive thru that they should always order at the counter because they fuck you at the drive thru...Which is true...Also bad guy saying diplomatic immunity laughing so hard mocking the cops and Danny Glover just shoots him anyways saying it's just been revoked.

I didn't think they could top the toilet bowl bomb, but they followed it up with the slo-mo woman flipping through the air after a diving board bomb. Top tier stuff. Riggs sure loves to run after cars.

The dual Gibson and Glover is sensational, it seems that were made for each other. Good as the first. And Pesci was very funny too.

Totally appropriate sequel. Its not as streamlined as the first in its pacing, but it has a story that's larger in scope, more character moments, and more action( even if its not as visceral as its predecessor). It delivers all you would want from a sequel and having just introduced pesci he works as extra comic relief rather than the grating nuisance he would become.

Way more fun to watch than the original, which had an awkward blend of humorous and super bleak moments. Gibson's character is way more likable, it's funnier, the action is better (if for no other reason, then simply by virtue of not being sans lighting), and I liked how they sensibly avoided the family being the main targets while still keeping it dramatic. The villains kinda suck, but Pesci and the love interest are interesting additions.

This takes everything that was so good about the first film, and turns it on it's head. I couldn't finish this movie because of how disgusted I was. While the original had some real character development, it feels like the story was finished, and the characters were as well. There is no build up here, and the characters suffer from sequel staleness. In 1989 this might have been a great movie, but it did not age well now that the "Buddy Cop" genre is relatively established.

It wasn't nearly as good as I remembered it being. I remembered cracking up at numerous points the first time around- during Joe Pesci's scenes, the bathroom sequence- but this time I didn't manage much more than a few chuckles. There are some good action sequences here, but I found myself bored by the time I hit the final act.

A terrific follow up to an equally terrific film. Gibson and Glover still work incredibly well together to service a story which raises the stakes in every way a sequel should. Hats off to capping off the emotional story points left over in the original film for good in a genuinely satisfying way. Not all sequels are capable of doing.

+ GOOD: Gibson didn't act too over-the-top like the first one, played a good mix of crazy and professional, good chemistry again with the two of them, action was good (if not fake at times), music not as bad as the first ; - BAD: Too much of a retread, Joe Pesci is annoying, bad guys too stereotypical, message too hit over the head, villain backstory could've been done better, music still overbearing

A small downgrade from the original classic buddy-cop. Focusing more on humor than action and story, the sequel loses some of the character development and charm. Yet, even still Glover and Gibson are fantastic and carry this movie. Diplomatic Immunity indeed.

Eric Clapton wrote the score for all the lethal weapon films. That alone will score it a solid 80. I also can't decide weather gibson is better with or without the mullet. The anti-Semitism, however, is definitely a win.

This weapon wasn't 2 lethal but I still enjoyed it. I must say my biggest problem with it was Joe Pesci. Okay, okay, okay... I know, that's he's Hollywood schtick but he still bothered me, at least until he manned up a bit towards the end of the film. Riggs and Murtaugh are still the ultimate buddy cops. The scene on the toilet almost had me in tears with laughter. Patsy Kensit was stunning as the South African consulate girl. I would like to see more movies with her in it...

I find it difficult to recommend Lethal Weapon 2 for a couple of reasons. The first is the difference in tone from the original. It balanced the comedy and thrills, while this one leans far toward the former. The second is the inclusion of Joe Pesci, who becomes irritating by the film's conclusion. The action is still good and the scenes involving just Glover and Gibson are great, but the film around these two elements isn't up to snuff.

Mel Gibson is back and with even more angst. I barely remember this one because the villains were completely dumb. This is as generic of a sequel as they come and there's little difference between Lethal Weapon 2 and 1. It's mindless but not terrible or boring.

Lethal Weapon 2 might have been the first movie that brought the plight of aparteid to my conscious. During the first 20 years of my life this movie was the only representation of South Africa for me. I know how bad that sounds but it also shows how much of an impact movies and TV played in the daily lives of Americans before the internet. In this second outing, Riggs and Murtaugh are joined by Joe Pesci who plays an informant that the duo need to protect. It is another classic in the series.

Story goes on nicely from the first, but this one is in the end even worser than the first one. Mel Gibson is pretty mixture of batman and joker. And I'm talking about that dark knight version! The bad guys are ludicrous. This movie includes several familiar faces, for example Joe Pesci and Patsy Kensit. And this time Mel is not the only one who's butt naked.

If the first film channeled 48Hrs. then this one channeled Beverly Hills Cop. I actually liked the bad guy in this one better and the whole thing is faster paced. Another plus is the fact that both actors are more comfortable in their roles. The main story isn't as good and there are plenty of giant plot holes but it's big, loud and fun.

Does the job as a solid sequel but not much else. Has a few funny bits. The diplomat angle was not really exploited and the romance was a bit strange. Joe Pesci is fairly likeable though. Could have done with more family time and a proper conclusion for the wife's car.

Very dated crap that relied too much on slapstick humor and quips. I don't understand why a consulate would flout diplomatic immunity. Then again, if the writers knew that a consular officer could be arrested for felonies, that would shatter the already razor thin plot of this crap. Also, why were LAPD assigned to protect a federal witness? Wouldn't that fall under the jurisdiction of either the US Marshals or FBI? And who did the porno-music soundtrack?

The same and equal band of talent follow up with characters who go from being fans of the 3 Stooges to actually being the 3 Stooges, even going as far as to include Joe Pesci as the third-wheel butt of their jokey aggravation (incidentally showing his striking range). And yet the film keeps you on its toes by also being equally as brutal as the original and even more bittersweet.

Lethal Weapon 2 is a solid sequel and personally I think it's on a par with it's predecessor. Gibson & Glover are great together once again and their characters and relationship has developed further. And the inclusion of hilarious side kick Joe Pesci offers even more comic relief. I actually didn't mind Patsy Kensit here either. Michael Kamen's score in this particular installment is a worthy mention also. The mix of of action and humour make this a worthy addition in the Lethal Weapon series.

As good as the first, but with a little more emphasis on comedy rather than some of the more serious aspects of the first. Honestly this works pretty well as the chemistry between Gibson and Glover is great. This doesn't dial down the action as it's still true to the 80s action movie form. Pesci is a bit annoying and the romance is okay but feels a bit shoehorned in. Overall if you're up for an 80s action movie with shooting, explosions and car chases you don't need to look further.

The humour factor is stronger in this, the first sequel of "Lethal Weapon", partly thanks to an on-fire Joe Pesci, something that makes for a welcome variation in tone. Elsewhere, we are once again treated to an uneven mix of mostly solid action and rather simplistic writing.

In my memories from childhood/youth interchangeable with the first LW. LW2 is, however, much weaker. Riggs-Murtaugh are still a good combo, but most of the heart, of the atmosphere, of the attention to detail of the original has been replaced by silly humor and silly action set pieces. Leo Getz symbolizes the direction chosen for the franchice. Somewhat disappointing, but still a highly entertaining action classic.
