With personal crises and age weighing in on them, LAPD officers Riggs and Murtaugh must contend with deadly Chinese triads that are trying to free their former leaders out of prison and onto American soil.
In the combustible action franchise's final installment, maverick detectives Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh square off against Asian mobster Wah Sing Ku, who's up to his neck in slave trading and counterfeit currency. With help from gumshoe Leo Getz and smart-aleck rookie cop Lee Butters, Riggs and Murtaugh aim to take down Ku and his gang.Written by

After being promoted, Riggs addresses Murtaugh with the words "O Captain, my Captain", which is the title of a poem by Walt Whitman (and, of course, a reference to the Dead Poets Society (1989) where the phrase plays a central role.) See more »

Alot of people panned it but for me, it's the best of the bunch. Good supporting cast, great action scenes,good comedy and a good plot. The saxophone is as annoying in this one as it is in all the others but thankfully it isn't as loud this time round. Jet is his usual bad ass self. The guy can do it all.
A 5th wouldn't be a bad idea. To retire the old war horses. Definitely one of the best buddy cop movies out there.
