In this
installment of the popular "Lethal Weapon" series, Riggs
and Murtaugh stumble upon a gun racket run by ex-cop Jack
Travis (Stuart Wilson). Travis provides Los Angeles'
toughest gangs with high tech weaponry, but now (to Riggs'
delight) Lorna Cole, an attractive martial-arts trained
internal affairs investigator, has been assigned to help
the dynamic duo turn mayhem into order.
Together, they can
manage it -- the hard way.
L.A. police detectives
Riggs and Murtaugh team up again to track down an ex-cop
who has been smuggling guns out of impound back to gangs
on the street. Days away from retirement, Murtaugh is
reluctantly pushed into action by Riggs.
Although "Lethal Weapon
3," with it's images of violent Los Angeles cops, opened
on the coattails of the Rodney King beating -- which some
thought would hurt its box-office draw -- it went on to
become one of the top-grossing movies of 1992. Some
critics speculated that audiences enjoy the film's
interracial friendship between Gibson's spontaneously
unstable Riggs and the restraint of Glover's solidly
middle class Murtaugh!!
