    Not as good as the first 3 but still lots of fun and a good send off! It also has some great lines. ?Blow in my fuckin ear?!

    Gotta love Jet Li! The music STILL sucks, you thought they would've learned by now. Very good though, just like the rest of them.

    A shame to see Jet Li playing the usual stereotype here. Bruce Lee would not be happy at all.
  • September 22, 2007
    The final of the lethal weapons stars Jet Lit as the bad guy. Chris Rock is also good in this movie.

    The best of the four. Action, comedy, and depth of character makes this one worth seeing.

    A disapopinting installment in the Lethal Weapon series. An average action movie, but lacking the charm of the older movies. I think the word "meh" just about sums it up.

    A copp with a itchy trigger finger, I love mel Gibson

    Let's just say it - we HATE 1998. We thought 1997 was bad, but 1998 didn't even have any sequels that were as snicker-worthy as Batman & Robin. They were all bad, boring messes and, if we had to pick the best of the mediocre crop, we guess we'll go with Lethal Weapon 4 (dammit). ...( read more)On the good side, there ARE some nice moments in LW4 - Gibson and Glover still have amazing chemistry, there's a pretty decent highway car chase, and the final Riggs and Murtaugh vs. Jet Li fight is surprisingly brutal and nicely done. On the bad side, we'll count almost EVERYTHING else about the movie, ranging from the pathetic script, lackluster everything, and every single moment Joe Pesci opens his mouth. Still, it's the lesser of many sequel evils of 1998

    OH! so anyone who sitting in the back seat is a perp??? Check out my Bach, check out my gun,...you little leprechan.

    There are four of these? This must be the one with the other black guy and the Chinese dude. Where is Gibson's mullet?

Critic Reviews

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

One could argue about which Lethal Weapon is the best, but No. 4 is certainly the funniest, warmest and most idiosyncratic. full review

April 12, 2002
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The relationship/humour stuff in Lethal Weapon 4 is pretty much excruciating, mawkish and inane... The second part of Lethal Weapon 044,the action sequences, are much better. full review

January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Lethal Weapon 4 has all the technical skill of the first three movies in the series, but lacks the secret weapon, which was conviction. full review
