Trivia
The second Lethal Weapon movie to feature the casting credits at the end of the movie, as opposed to the beginning. The first of the series to do this was Lethal Weapon 2 (1989). Both Lethal Weapon (1987) and Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) had their casting credits at the beginning of the movie. See more »Goofs
During Riggs' and Murtaugh's chase on the freeway the window on Murtaugh's side of the car is alternately closed (in most long shots) or open (in close-ups). See more »Quotes

OK... so the language is gratuitous. Just having Chris Rock on set put it over the top. But his acting aside, I thought this was a worthy addition to one of the best cop/buddy series around. It was enjoyable to see the characters we love deal with the inevitabilities of aging and the fierce loyalty of friendship. Some of the mystery is gone and it feels like a pair of comfortable shoes. But aren't those shoes your favorite ones? It was interesting to see the development of Lorna and Riggs' relationship, as well as the growing up of the Murtaugh kids. It makes you feel like you're catching up with old friends at a reunion! Plenty of action and the incredible work of Jet Li make this movie a favorite at my house. Overall, a great wrap-up to the series and a lot of fun for long time fans. Worth seeing! If the language is a real issue, watch for it on TNT and enjoy the edited version.
