Lethal Weapon 2. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are back as Riggs and Murtaugh stumble onto a South African group smuggling drugs and hiding behind a senior diplomat's political protections. But said group are making a very big mistake if they think they'll be able to hide behind the law when they start killing police officers and go after Riggs and Martaugh... because now the gloves are off, baby! This 1989 sequel is almost every bit as good as the classic 87 original, upping the comedy quotient but without sacrificing the darker, more bloodsoaked thriller aspects (which does happen a little in the subsequent sequels), especially in the absolutely brutal extended climax as Riggs and Murtaugh decide enough's enough and go on the warpath. I haven't seen this in about 14 years for some reason, and I've no idea why. Absolute classic!
