Great set. Not only have these fun films been remaster in a cool anamorphic 1.85:1, they ALL have the option of DTS sound.

Great fun films in a new format. Highly recommended.

Ahhh, Mel....the way you were.......2007-01-04

This series is great for a typical Mel Gibson, pre-Braveheart (and all those other movies that mad messages). Guns, explosions, dislocated shoulders and more guns. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover really did play the odd-couple of cop action-comedies the best out of all the matchups of the time.

Mel is STILL the best, to heck with Hollywood........2006-08-04

I just bought this Director's Cut set, and I still love these Lethal Weapon movies as much as the day I first saw them. There's simply not a better series of buddy cop movies ever made, especially because the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is just superb.

With that said, I write this after the sad news about Mel Gibson's DUI arrest, and the charges that he said some anti-semitic comments. All I can say is this. The man has a messed up father, and because of that Mel has had some demons of his own. I believe that he needs to resolve some issues, and I think he will. He's not running and hiding people. He's admitted his transgressions and is doing something to get help. Maybe, just for once, wouldn't it be nice if we didn't try to tear down every great icon of this country? Maybe instead could we give this man some support, and help him overcome his problems? Don't discredit a life full of achievements because of one mistake.

Lethal Weapon Legacy (Director's Cut 3-Pack) is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to have to buy the movies seperately. The quality of all three is excellent.
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover make a wonderful team together...just wish they had made more movies together continuing the Lethal Weapon series.
I would recommend buying this to all my friends.

I absoultely love the Lethal Weapon Movies! You cannot deny that the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is brilliant. Many people already know the stories behind the Lethal Weapon Movies so this review just focuses on the actual DVDs themselves. First of all do not get the original Lethal Weapon DVD box set because this Legacy box set contains the Directors Cuts of the first three movies, whereas the other original box set contains the theatrical versions. The directors cut versions all include additional scenes that were cut out from the orginals. Having these extra scenes makes for an overall better experience and in some cases (e.x.Lethal Weapon) a more insightful experience than the originals. Lethal Weapon contains the most extra footage (which is around 7 minutes) and really adds a lot to the movie and a better understanding about Mel's character, Martin Riggs. The extra footage found on LW 2 and LW 3 is not as extensive but still adds something to each movie. All of additional scenes fit in well with the original versions, so you know that they were all probably cut right before release and were not just thrown in there. Each movie has been re-mastered and has a good overall crispness that the original ones didnt have.
The only thing holding me back from giving Legacy 5 stars is the lack of special features. LW 2 contains a short behind the scenes stunt video, and theres the usual trailers and cast info, but other than that the special features of each movie is very bare bones. Warner Bros. could have and should have done so much more with each DVD, as I know tons of bloopers, deleted scenes (different from these restored scenes), and interviews still exist from each of three Lethal Weapons. How do I know this? Just watch the "Pure Lethal" documentary found on the special features side of Lethal Weapon 4. This documentary is full of the extra stuff. The Lethal Weapon 4 DVD was released before any of these directors cuts and that had a good amount of special features on it. Warner should have kept in mind the way they did the LW 4 extras when putting together Legacy's extras. But other than that complaint this is a great, reasonably priced package, for any Lethal Weapon fan. If the special features were given more attention and if they made a LW 4 director's cut, then this would have been the perfect package.
