Lethal Weapon 2: One of the Best Sequels Ever Made?

Lethal Weapon was an unexpected smash when it came out in March of 1987. The film was such a sensation that it revitalized the buddy cop genre and made Mel Gibson a legitimate superstar. For the follow-up, Warner Bros would boost the budget, injecting more comedy into the mix and toning down the pathos and darkness of the original to deliver a sequel that was such a blast, they threw it into the summer movie marketplace. It would become an even bigger hit than the original and one of the top grossing movies of 1989. In this episode of Revisited (written by Cody Hamman, edited by Juan Jimenez and narrated by Travis Hopson) we dig into the making of what’s considered one of the best sequels ever made.
