DVD Description
Riggs (Mel Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He's a Mad Max gone maniacal, a man whose killing expertise and suicidal recklessness make him a Lethal Weapon to anyone he works against, or with. Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is an easygoing homicide detective with a loving family, and a pension he doesn't want to lose. Lethal Weapon is the thrill-packed story of two Vietnam-vets-turned-cops who have just one other thing in common: both hate to work with partners.

Fierce, fast and frequently funny, the Lethal Weapon DVD Collection fires off round after round of can't-miss entertainment and is a must-have for collectors or an adrenaline-packed gift.

Synopsis
Four features. In 'Lethal Weapon' two tough Los Angeles cops, one who carries a lethal weapon (Glover) and the other who is one (Gibson), are teamed as partners in a highly unusual case involving a massive international ring which has its roots in Vietnam - a place they are both all too familiar with. This film, with its fresh, energetic combination of comedy, drama and action, has managed to spurn three highly successful sequels. Includes Lethal Weapon 2, 3 and 4.

Customer Reviews

Consistently brilliant...
Even the 3rd film, which is almost definitely the weakest of the four, is fantastic. The opening scene with the bomb in the skyscraper is a classic, and shows Gibson and Glover working as a pair like no one else ever really has. Each film is a near-perfect mix of humour and action, although number one is distinctly less comical and a lot darker. They're the kind of films that never get tedious no matter how many times you've seen them. And unlike Die Hard, the final 'let's rehash an old franchise to make some more money' entry doesn't suck! One of the best film series of all time.

Great entertainment
These DVDs are what they are, most people will have seen at least one Leathal Weapon! Here you have a complete box set at a fab price! These are great action packed fun films! I have seen all of them several times, and no doubt will watch them several more! They are easy to watch, and if you have to stop it half way through no problem!
I love Mel Gibson, and Danny Glover plays a great role in these films, they work off each really well! This is a deffinate must for all film buffs and collectors!

ESSENTIAL FOR ANY COLLECTION
If you haven't seen the Lethal Weapon series, WHY?

Good mix of humour throughout, coupled with plenty of action. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover have that special chemistry that sorely lacks in other actor duos.

Drop everthing and buy them.
