Lethal Weapon - WB 20 Film Collection Thrillers
- Commentary: You know, I remember enjoying this the first time I saw it, but it hasn't aged well. Reminds me of so many 80's television "thriller" series (Or maybe it was 90's "thriller series", maybe this movie inspired them): long on action (and not as long as is required, now, for a good thriller), short on story. Its humor hasn't aged well, either.
