Title: This weapon is unloaded!
Review: The worst entry in the "Lethal Weapon" series, (the first will always be the best), "Lethal Weapon 3" suffers from too much comedy and a very uninteresting story. Richard Donner, who throws a ridiculously stupid left-wing temper tantrum throughout the film by inserting little hidden messages in scenes and dialogue, directs this film with a lack of concern for quality. It's like he was thinking, "Oh what the hell! People come to see Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Forget about an interesting story. Just make some things blow up real good and put in a couple of car chases!" The action is only so-so and the comedy, well...it really isn't comedy. The story involves Mel and Danny trying to stop a criminal from putting guns in the hands of local gang members. There are other plot points as well but nothing of great interest or amusement. We also get an additional member of the team played by Rene Russo who seems to hold her own fairly well. Just rent the original.
