Storyline
Riggs and Murtaugh are at it again in this sequel to the original Lethal Weapon in 1987. When a red BMW crashes while they are chasing it, they discover the trunk is full of South African Krugerands. Their boss assigns them to protect a federal witness named Leo Getz to try and keep them out of trouble. When the witness reveals he has been doing business with South Africans, the story evolves into a fast moving chase. Written by Colin Tinto <cst@imdb.com>

Trivia
The scene where Murtaugh does his 'Free South Africa' tirade - his statement of 'one man, one vote' did in fact, became part of then-South Africa's president F.W. de Klerk agenda to end apartheid, lift the ban on the African National Congress (in the film, protesters outside the South African Consulate had the ANC flag), and released Nelson Mandela from incarceration. Danny Glover did portray Nelson Mandela in the made-for-cable HBO film Mandela (1987), which was filmed prior to the release of the first Lethal Weapon film. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Murtaugh pulls up right behind the pool guy's truck on the first visit to the stilt house. Later, when he and Leo get in to chase Riggs and the tow truck, the wagon is now some distance back from the pick-up to allow him to pull out without reversing. See more »Quotes
