Movie Reviews of Lethal WeaponMovie Review: Despite the description this is not the Special Edition. Summary: 3 StarsThis is strictly a review of the *technical aspects* of the Bluray version.
The quality of the transfer to Bluray is so-so. The description on Amazon states this is the Special Edition which has the extra and frankly relevant footage cut from the theatrical. It doesn't.
The audio is up to par but the transfer lacks the pop of a good session in the bay when it was done. Definitely tell this was not a "hands on" transfer.
I don't remember if the original movie was 2:35:1 or not, but this Bluray version is 1:85. I know the rest of the series on Bluray is 2:35:1 so it's kind of a let down that it's missing from here.
Summary of Lethal WeaponA cop on the edge is assigned a new partner a laid back methodical guy. Together they create an unstoppable team when they go after drug dealers. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 07/12/2005 Starring: Mel Gibson Danny Glover Run time: 117 minutes Rating: R Director: Richard Donner Mel Gibson set aside his art-house credentials to star as a crazy cop paired with a stable one (Danny Glover) in this full-blown 1987 Richard Donner action picture. The most violent film in the series (which includes three sequels), it is also the edgiest and most interesting. After Gibson's character jumps off a building handcuffed to a man, and Gary Busey (as a cold, efficient enforcer) lets his hand get burned without flinching, there is a sense that anything can happen, and it usually does. Donner's strangely messy visual and audio style doesn't make a lot of aesthetic sense, but it stuck with all four movies. The DVD release includes production notes, Dolby sound, theatrical trailer, optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, optional French soundtrack, and optional English, French, and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh Mel Gibson set aside his art-house credentials to star as a crazy cop paired with a stable one (Danny Glover) in this full-blown 1987 Richard Donner action picture.
