Movie Review | Lethal Weapon 3 (Donner, 1992)

I think most people will concede that the first two are the actual good movies and the third and fourth are a significant step down. From this one I remembered only the scene where Riggs and Murtaugh are busted down to traffic cop duty and pull a gun on a jaywalker, whereas from the fourth I remembered the freeway chase, the final fight and the dentist scene. From the sound of it, you'd think I'd be Team Lethal Weapon 4, but I probably like this one a bit better. Both are very much action sitcoms, but this one, barring the first twenty minutes, at least moves forward like a real action movie. It's certainly more formulaic than the first two and lacks the verve of the first two, but after those earlier sections it doesn't straight up stop for shtick the way the fourth one does. And this is pretty superficial, but I prefer the late '80s / early '90s sheen of this one to the late '90s sheen of the fourth.

I do think this suffers from the lack of memorable villain, who I was forgetting as I was watching him onscreen. The scheme here involves armor-piercing bullets and automatic weapons, which lead to totally DOA attempts to weave some social consciousness into the proceedings. Sadly, a movie where the heroes pull a gun on a jaywalker is not equipped to deal with the issue of inner city violence.

Like the Fast & Furious movies, the series has started growing the family of supporting actors. Joe Pesci is in this because he was in the last one and does absolutely nothing to push the proceedings forward. He's not actively annoying, but makes little impact beyond his newly bleached hair and a callback to his best rant from the previous movie. I think Rene Russo holds here own as the new addition and plays her character credibly when such considerations were of decreasing importance in the series. Of course Ebert liked the scar scene.

All that being said, Richard Donner continues to nail the set pieces, even if the ones here don't stick in the memory like others in the series, and it's always fun to hang out with Murtaugh and Riggs. I can't imagine watching this by itself, and only put this on today because I rewatched the first two and this was about to leave Netflix, but it manages to hit the spot.

There should be a community for the lethal weapon movie series (not counting the tv series cause there already is a community for it)
