4 Film Favorites: Lethal Weapon (Lethal Weapon: Director's Cut, Lethal Weapon 2: Director's Cut, Lethal Weapon 3: Director's Cut, Lethal Weapon 4)

Saw these yrs ago when they came out on vhs and was waiting for the right time to get them on blu ray, since almost everything i own is in that format. Liked all of the movies, now can watch anytime i want to. All 4 on this format and at a great price, can't go wrong there.

very good product and price. Son loves it.

I was ecstatic to receive this 4 movie set. It is hard to beat Lethal Weapon. It arrived swiftly. The DVDS are in excellent playing condition. The seller is great to work with.

Everyone knows that Mel Gibson now has major issues, to put things kindly. But as Martin Riggs, loose cannon and suicidal (over the death of his wife) detective, he used his charisma, angst, and sense of humor to full effect. And, once Riggs is teamed with veteran family-man detective Roger Murtaugh, the fun begins, including what one would expect in these movies: Lots of quips, explosions, and memorable villains, most memorably, Gary Busey (another actor with issues), as Mr. Joshua in the original film.Over time, the audience meets other villains, not to mention Leo Getz, played to annoying perfection by Joe Pesci and IA detective Lorna Cole, played by Rene Russo. Cole and Riggs do the usual hate/love dance - complete with a great scene of comparing battle scars in the third film.While the last film is arguably weak, it still manages to keep the action going thanks to a new villain played by Jet Li in his first (I think) American movie role. And Chris Rock adds more humor to the mix (some may say too much humor by then) as fellow cop and new son-in-law to Roger Murtaugh, Lee Butters. Butters and Rianne, Murtaugh's eldest daughter, also give Murtaugh a new person to stress over/love in the form of a grandchild-to-be, much to Roger's surprise. Naturally, Riggs and Cole are on a parallel path with Riggs having found happiness with Cole, awaiting their own bundle of joy. Okay, so the last film seems like family overload, but again, the new villain angle lets everyone know this is still an action franchise, so enjoy it if just as an end to a great series.Included in this set are the scenes which were included in the so-called director's cut (so-called since Richard Donner once blasted that and has publically stated the theatrical versions *are* his "cut" with the inserted scenes seen as a cash grab) as separate bonus/deleted scenes. A fifth disc not found on the UK version also contains more extras, too.So with the price being so low, grab this now, make some popcorn and have a marathon with L.A.'s craziest cops, proving in scene after scene, movie after movie, that while they claim "[we're] too old for this s***!", they can still get the job done and live to joke about it.

Lethal Weapon is a fun buddy cop movie series that is worth watching. The first two films are really good and touch on some real-life struggles between the two characters. It's pretty much about as 80s as these two films can get, especially when it comes to the action. While the last two films are more so on the cheesy side when things got a little too silly, but honestly still fun films to watch. The one thing all 4 films have kept strong throughout is the friendship between the characters played by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.I honestly hope that maybe we could get a 5th installment one day.

You can read the movie reviews elsewhere. The four movies on two DVDs are in a standard clamshell made for multiple discs. The video looked good so decide for yourself if the extra expense for Bluray is necessary. No skips or jumps or freezes. The audio was clear and understandable. There are closed captions. Overall if you were going to get just one you should go this route and get all four.

Great shows and great packaging

I bought this movie, for my daughter. She watches the movie over and over
