There's Been Some South African Money Smuggling and LA Detectives Gibson and Glover Are On It! [MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS] They're back and even more crazy than last time! Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh are chasing a speeding driver down the freeway. When they catch him, well after the car crashes, they discover Krugerands, a whole bag of them in the trunk. Murtaugh's daughter, Rianne, is going to be in a commercial. They watch it and it turns out to be a comdom commercial. Murtaugh is awful embarrassesd, and if that wasn't bad enough, they soon get to participate in the witness protection program. A guy named Leo Getz is the man they gotta protect. He's staying at a huge hotel so they go there. Riggs and Murtaugh take an immediate dislike to Getz. "Whatever you need, Leo Getz. Ya get it?" Then a thug breaks in the room. Riggs get's the jump on him, then the thug, Riggs, and Leo go flying out the window and into the pool. The thug got away. He was an assistant to Arjen Rudd, a crime boss hiding behind diplomatic credentials. Leo worked for them at one point (all he did that was a crime was launder a billion dollars), so he, Riggs and Murtaugh head out to the House on Stilts. Chaos and alot of action ensues. Riggs meets a girl that he become fond of. The three stop at drive-thru and Leo gives a speech on why you shouldn't go to the drive-thru. Murtaugh and Riggs also learn of South African aparthaid going on. Not only that, but one day Murtaugh discovered there was a bomb on his toilet. If he stood up, kaboom! But Riggs was there and so was the bomb squad. They made it through in one piece! Also, Arjen's men were assassinating cops; Murtaugh hears the name Alba Varden and thinks it sounds familiar, so while Riggs and Rika Van Den Haas, his new girlfriend, are at his trailer, Murtaugh and Leo go to Murtaugh's house. Leo stays in the car, but is soon abducted by Arjen's men. Murtaugh discovers that Alba Varden is a ship. Back at Riggs' trailer, a bunch of Arjen's men in helicopters zoomed down and began shooting. Riggs took'em down but they were soon captured. Riggs learned that it was Arjen's henchman, Pieter Vorstadt that was responsible for Riggs' wife's death. They had run her off the road. They had killed poor Rika. It was personal now, so Murtaugh and Riggs travel to the house on stilts, rescue Leo and knocked it all down. They had Leo drive back to the station in Murtaugh's car while he and Riggs went to the shipyard. Even though Arjen Rudd is hiding behind diplomatic immunity, Murtaugh revokes it by blasting him away. They soon terminate all the bad guys and once again the city is saved thanks to LAPD detectives Riggs and Murtaugh. Joe Pesci adds a great touch to this movie. I like his dirty speeches on why not to go to the drive-thru. If not for Joe Pesci, I never would've seen the Lethal Weapon movies. This movie is as good as the original, I guess, see it for yourself. I think you will like it. --
