Had never seen any of the Lethal Weapon movies til this week, I had a marathon for 2 days.

 

This is probably the *best* movie of the 4. Its fun, its got action, a classic buddy cop movie. 

I can't get over how 80's these movies are with the music. It adds to the charm.

 

and of course there is GARY BUSEY!

 

B+

Love all the Lethal Weapons but this one is the most quotable:

 

Yea, all dressed up and no one to blow.

 

Come on Rog, we gotta get up and catch bad guys.

 

Do you really wanna jump?  Do you wanna?  Well that's fine with me.

 

Didn't feel like writing this one out, so here is one of the best parts early on:

 

Martin Riggs: You want me to drive?

Roger Murtaugh: No, you're supposed to be suicidal, remember? I'LL drive.

Martin Riggs: Anybody who drives around in this town IS suicidal.

Martin Riggs: Hey, look friend, let's just cut the shit. Now we both know why I was transferred. Everybody thinks I'm suicidal, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me; or they think I'm faking to draw a psycho pension, in which case, I'm fucked and nobody wants to work with me. Basically, I'm fucked.

Roger Murtaugh: Guess what?

Martin Riggs: What?

Roger Murtaugh: I don't want to work with you!

Martin Riggs: Hey, don't.

Roger Murtaugh: Ain't got no choice! Looks like we both been fucked!

Martin Riggs: Terrific.

Roger Murtaugh: God hates me. That's what it is.

Martin Riggs: Hate him back; it works for me.
