Lethal Weapon 1-4 - Complete Collection (Director's Cut) (Region 2) (Import)

Inspired by the current TV series, which kept to the basic elements of all buddy films, I decided to try the originals again. And what a joy the films still are.The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is obvious and enjoyable. The plots, though a little dated, still drive the film along, and excellent actors supplement the cast, especially Joe Pesci, and my long-time favourite, Joss Ackland(in the second film).Was this a wise purchase? Absolutely. So much fun for a truly good price.If you feel like a burst of nostalgia, this is a great box to pass away some enjoyable hours.

Complete Lethal Weapon Edition is an 8 disc collection (I got mine from Germany), now like any movie(s) starring Mel Gibson, it has the 'Mel Gibson' (which I am not going to dwell on, as anyone reading this will have their own opinion on Gibson's Religious, racial opinions) factor built into it.Another separate element of the LW movies is their none PC humour (and often very funny results) that are built on the relationship of Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) and Martin Riggs (Gibson).One a family man, the other a suicidal cop partnered up-unwillingly, and the four movies chart their emotional as well police up & downs.One of the strengths of the movies is its retention of cast members Darlene Love, Tracy Wolfe, Joe pesci (whom is brilliant in the 2nd, grating in the 3rd and inspired in the 4th). Rene Russo.Gary Busey and Mitchell Ryan make memorable villains in the 1st,Derrick O'Conner (the sweeney/ Fox /Brazil)and Joss Auckland are both very nasty and funny as the villains in LW2.Stuart Wilson (another Sweeney regular) pops cup as a nasty piece of work in three.And Jet Li makes a more than equal to Riggs villain in four.Steve kahan (Richard Donner's cousin I think) is a series regular as are Mary Ellen trainer ( Flight directer Robert Zemeckis wife).Donner whom directs all four after kick starting The Omen trilogy, Superman trilogy(4 can't really be considered a Superman movie-disgrace).Each movie has its real moment of darkness-this is more prevelant in the first two. Always relieved by humour.As this set contains both versions (theatrical and "directors cuts"), it is will worth buying- i always preferred the original versions myself, and feel the directors cuts are something of a misnomer, and were a marketing device run by Warner Bros, as other people have stated to increase revenue.After saying that though, these little Extras do subtly alter scenes and change tones and pay-offs within the LW movies.On the downside some of the LW movies appear to be cut as extensively as their UK cousins.Still the set is well-worth buying.Best scene from All four movies ----Leo Getz(Pesci) and Murtaugh(Glover) in the African Embassy...

Great dvd series

Good box set

what a great service, arrived very quick. I would recommend to friends and family. I would use again if they had dvds I wanted.

bought this for my son to add to his box set collection as this was one he had requested - arrived well in time and in perfect condition.

I love these films...I watch them again and again. Watch how the friendship between Gibson and Glovers characters develops. This duo will never be out done. You'll wanna be their best friends too.The Lethal Weapon films are action packed and very funny.Buy them... Buy them now! (It's a steal at this price).
