Synopsis
Lethal Weapon 2 reteams
Mel Gibson
and
Danny Glover
as, respectively, "loose cannon" LA detective Martin Riggs and Riggs' partner, the cautious family man Roger Murtaugh. The villain this time is a South African diplomat (
Joss Ackland
) who doubles as a drug dealer. Though Riggs knows what's going on thanks to characterless character witness
Joe Pesci
, he can't touch the villain because of "diplomatic immunity." After perils too numerous to mention, Riggs and Murtaugh shoot it out with the heavies on the deck of a South African cargo ship. Lethal Weapon 2, of course, contains as one of its comic high-points a now famous suspense scene:
Mel Gibson
agonizingly attempting to extricate a terrified
Danny Glover
from a booby-trapped toilet seat. Gibson, Glover, Donner and
Joe Pesci
would be reunited three years later for
Lethal Weapon 3
and in 1998 for
Lethal Weapon 4
. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
