Product Review

Reckless cop Riggs (Mel Gibson) and family man Murtaugh (Danny Glover) are partners whose work routine is never routine in the first three films of the series that reinvented buddy-cop action, all here in exclusive-to-DVD Director's Cuts adding footage not seen in theatres. Lethal Weapon (Disc 1/Side A) pits our squabbling heroes against a death-dealing drug ring...and Riggs takes a plunge with a would-be suicide jumper. Joe Pesci - Okay, okay, okay! - is a motor-mouthed witness needing protection in Lethal Weapon 2 (Disc 1/Side B, the series entry with the booby-trapped toilet!). And Rene Russo plays a femme alter-ego match for Riggs in Lethal Weapon 3 (Disc 2) as the cops target a colleague dealing guns to the street...and Riggs steps onto the ice to rough up a pro-hockey game. The puck stops here!
