Lethal Weapon 3 -- Murtaugh's last week before retirement has no chance of being peaceful -- not while Riggs is still his partner, and an ex-cop turned criminal mastermind is on the loose.

Family man detective Murtaugh is ready to retire, but his eccentric partner Riggs tries to talk him out of it just as a former cop has turned into a criminal mastermind! With Joe Pesci, Rene Russo.

This boxoffice blockbuster sequel reunites box-office superstar and Oscar-winner Mel Gibson ("Braveheart," "Maverick"), Danny Glover ("The Color Purple") and Oscar-winner Joe Pesci ("GoodFellas," "My Cousin Vinny"), and introduces Rene Russo ("Get Shorty," "In the Line of Fire") as a tough Internal Affairs cop who gives Gibson a run for his money. Glover's last week before retirement has no chance of being peaceful -- not while Gibson is still his partner, and an ex-cop turned criminal mastermind is on the loose. Bringing with it all the humor and action of the first two "Lethal Weapon" hits, ABC radio says "Lethal Weapon 3" is "3 times the excitement ...3 times the action ...3 times the laughs!"

This sequel to Maniac Cop pits the crazed Cop of the first film (now horribly disfigured), and a serial killer who likes to murder strippers, against a frenzied NYPD detective who is just one step ahead of a nervous breakdown.
