Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBill Frederick, the Mayor of Orlando, Florida, is the policeman who says "Bravo" to Murtaugh and Riggs after the explosion of the building in the opening scene, which was the old Orlando City Hall.
- GoofsNear the end of the armored car chase scene, Riggs causes one of the bad guys to fly through the armored car's front wind shield. These would normally be made of bullet resistant glass several times thicker than regular glass which would have stopped a human body without even cracking.
- Crazy creditsDuring the credits you can hear that another bomb has been discovered. When Martin and Roger show up in their car, they have this discussion again whether or not to go in. Just as they stop at the building, the whole building explodes and you can hear Martin saying, while backing up the car, "I hope nobody saw us".
- Alternate versionsThe post-credits scene is missing in some TV airings.

Featured review
So this is the one where it all seems to get to be a lil much. Like wherever Murtagh and Riggs go there is trouble. It's still effective but a bit silly. This time around the baddie is quite generic, an ex cop selling confiscated weapons and police killing ammunition. Sure the guys are great but the real joy here is Renee Russo as Riggs new love interest. She's an IA officer whose bad ass and can hold her own. The interplay and chemistry between her and Riggs is great. But all the other stuff feels a lil silly at times. That being said it's still really fun and the last action setpiece in the housing development is quite fun and suspenseful. But the formula starts to feel a bit old. It's a low point for the franchise but it's still pretty damn good and that's all due to the charismatic cast.
