Plot: Lethal Weapon 2 reteams Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as, respectively, loose cannon LA detective Martin Riggs and Riggs' partner, the cautious family man Roger Murtaugh. The villain this time is a South African diplomat (Joss Ackland) who doubles as a drug dealer. Though Riggs knows what's going on thanks to characterless character witness Joe Pesci, he can't touch the villain because of diplomatic immunity. After perils too numerous to mention, Riggs and Murtaugh shoot it out with the heavies on the deck of a South African cargo ship. Lethal Weapon 2, of course, contains as one of its comic high-points a now famous suspense scene: Mel Gibson agonizingly attempting to extricate a terrified Danny Glover from a booby-trapped toilet seat. Gibson, Glover, Donner and Joe Pesci would be reunited three years later for Lethal Weapon 3 and in 1998 for Lethal Weapon 4. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This series is one of the few that actually works. I enjoyed this one fully as much as the first--maybe better

Series review
Added 6/26/2009

I received Lethal Weapon 2 as part of a series, and really enjoyed watching the whole series, one after another. The Blu-Ray format brought out more of the movie's depth, and was a very good performance.

Riggs and Murtaugh. Those eighties cop movies and cop buddy movies were great and few duos were better than Gibson and Glover as the odd couple pair of cops who start out hating each other, but grow into the best of friends as the series progressed.

This second Lethal Weapon was just about as good as the first with several memorable scenes and moments. They sometimes blur together now, but I believe this one had the classic surfboard scene, the incredibly hot short haired blonde, and the racist South Africans. Diplomatic immunity?

Well worth seeing and a great action film.

Preachy Preachy Buddy Feel Good Mullet
Added 12/28/2008

This one had a lot of what made the first one good (action and violence) but it got a little too preachy (dolphins and South Africa) and a little too Three Stooges buddy buddy goofy ha ha for me. Mel hams it up so bad that it is really obnoxious and takes away from the movie. And he and Danny Glover have developed a homoerotic love fest between them for this one. The villians are still good and the violence and action are still exciting and also the hot chick that of course is drawn to Mullet Gibson at first sight is also hot and nude in one scene. Aparently Mullet must be on Lexapro or Lamictal in this one cause he is no longer wanting to blow his brains out but still just acts like and obnoxious blabber mouth who is trying to be the biggest ham on the police force.

Great Entertainment
Added 8/17/2008

I have all of the Lethal Weapon movies & they're all great! Action packed movies that will make you laugh,make you cry & keep you on the edge of your seat. Mel Gibson & Danny Glover are both great actors that work magnificently together & seem to have a great working relationship. I don't think that a better duo could've been chosen for this series of movies! They go together like peanut butter & jelly. I'm so glad that these two played in all the movie sequals. It just wouldn't have had the same effect if Gibson & Glover hadn't returned to their roles that they made their own in all the Lethal Weapon movies. These two are definately irreplacable! I highly recommend these movies to anyone & everyone who wants to enjoy a great movie experience. The Lethal Weapon movies are classics in my book.I never get tired of watching them! Where most movie sequals aren't as good as the origional, you won't find that with these movies - they're all great!
