ebiros2 Review of Lethal Weapon 4

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)

In Hong Kong, you'll be dead .... but in America.......

[7/10 · 5 June 2006]

This is one of my most favorite Lethal Weapon series movie. Like many people, I liked Wah Sing Ku played by Jet Li as the villain. The comical part that's the staple of this series where Detective Murtaugh always gets his property devastated is played out in this movie as well. I still can't get over the part where Mel Gibson walks into the restaurant that's the front for the Chinese gang and brakes the large glass on the wall for no reason at all. Jet Li says "In Hong Kong, you'll be dead !", but in America I think you'll end up in jail by law suit brought against police brutality. Riggs will no doubt lose his job, and police chief will be making public apologies. Okay, the rest is typical action Lethal Weapon style, and Glover and Gibson really brought their goods to this movie. One question I have is why does this series have so many action scenes on, by or in the water ? The final encounter between Gibson and Jet was one of the best show downs of this series.
