    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During production, Richard Donner was shocked when Mel Gibson confided that he was drinking five pints of beer for breakfast. Despite his alcohol problems, Gibson was known for his professionalism and punctuality.
    • Goofs
      The Myytinmurtajat (2003) duplicated the toilet bomb and showed that, by freezing the battery with liquid nitrogen, the explosion would have been delayed by about 15 minutes.
    • Quotes

      [Rudd fires at Riggs, hitting him several times. Riggs falls, writhing in pain. Arjen's gun clicks empty. Roger aims at him]

      Roger Murtaugh: [shouting] DROP IT, ASSHOLE!

      Martin Riggs: [weakly] Rog...

      Arjen Rudd: [holds up his wallet] Diplomatic immunity.

      [Roger slowly rolls his head on his neck, takes aim, and fires - his bullet goes through Rudd's wallet, and then his head]

      Roger Murtaugh: It's *just been revoked*!

    • Crazy credits
      The Merrie Melodies theme is briefly heard during the opening sequence.
    • Alternate versions
      To receive a 15 certificate, the UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC. These cuts included:
      • Reduced violence in the scene where Murtaugh kills two thugs with a nail gun (a shot showing blood on a thug's head was shortened and another showing nails embedded in the other thug's chest was optically darkened).
      • Most of the sex scene between Riggs and his girlfriend was cut.
      • Riggs' vengeful killing of the villains who killed his girlfriend on the pier was entirely cut.
      • Riggs' repeated shooting of a villain during the final shootout was reduced.
      • Kicks to Riggs' face by villain in climax were reduced.
      Later video and DVD releases had some cuts waived but were raised to an 18, whilst retaining the edits of the pier killing and repeated shooting of a villain by Riggs. The cuts were fully waived in 2010 and the certificate downgraded to a 15. The uncut version is only available on Blu-Ray, while the DVD still has an 18 certificate but is missing the killing of the two thugs on the pier and of the guards on the container.

    An action movie with heart
    Many action flicks over the years have been called loud and dumb. This is no exception. The "Lethal Weapon" series has never been especially noted for its intellect but it has something that a lot of action films lack: heart. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover's winning chemistry created some of the most tender moments in the series and "Lethal Weapon 2" excels because they make the audience care about their characters. This movie is by far the best in the series with tones of moments registering directly to the viewer. Gibson and Glover provide these characters with depth that could easily have been lacking and the ending of this film leaves the audience actually feeling the love these two men have for each other. And, as a bonus, "Lethal Weapon 2" digs even deeper into one of the protagonist's past, shedding even more light as to why he is the way he is.
