Mel Gibson and
Danny Glover return with director
Richard Donner for Lethal Weapon 3, the third in the phenomenally successful action series. In this film, Roger Murtaugh (
Danny Glover) is only eight days away from retirement and his partner Martin Riggs (
Mel Gibson) once again manages to get them both into hot water with the both LAPD and the bad guys, who this time are Jack Travis (
Stuart Wilson) and a gang of hoodlums selling armor-piercing bullets.
Joe Pesci returns as the fast-talking schmuck Leo Getz. A new addition to the cast is
Rene Russo as Lorna Cole, a sergeant from internal affairs sent to investigate Riggs and Murtaugh, but who ultimately ends up falling in love with the caffienated Riggs. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
