Sergeant Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), who is a few weeks away from retirement, is assigned to partner Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), who wanted to commit suicide after his wife's death.

DEADLY GUN 2 (1989, 114 minutes)
Los Angeles. Police officers Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh are on the trail of drug smugglers. Tracking accountant Leo Getz, who has embezzled mob money, leads them to South African diplomat Rudd. Both detectives have ample evidence, but Rudd and his hit men continue to work undisturbed under the cloak of diplomatic immunity. Riggs, nicknamed "Lethal Weapon", resorts to indiscriminate methods. He even uses his attractive secretary against Rudd. An undeclared war breaks out between the gangsters and the two cops...
DEADLY GUN 3 (1992, 118 minutes)
Cutting the wrong wire of a time bomb demolishes not only a seven-story building, but also Detective Murtaugh's dream of a peaceful retirement in a few days. He and his somewhat deranged partner Riggs end up on the beat, and their case - the theft of weapons from police warehouses - is investigated by Sergeant Lorna Cole, a police officer with nerves of steel and a perfect knowledge of oriental martial arts. At first, she refuses to cooperate with the former detectives, but eventually takes them and their acquaintance Leo Getz, a real estate agent and enthusiastic collaborator, into her good graces. The search leads to Travis, a former police officer. Surrounded by a gang of sharp guys, this rival seems to be beyond the three detectives and their sidekick due to his knowledge of police methods. The fierce struggle for survival comes to a head, and after the discovery of special bulletproof vest-piercing ammunition in the gangsters' armoury, Murtaugh loses confidence that he will see his dream retirement...
DEADLY DEFENSE 4 (1998, 127 minutes)
Another sequel to the successful series of action films. This time, a pair of likable, aging detectives face a threat from the Chinese mafia and a Hong Kong hitman. Even so, a fishing trip may end...
