The classic action thriller “Lethal Weapon” is now available to own on 4K Ultra HD and Digital from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.
Mel Gibson (“Braveheart”) stars as a one-man killing machine, a Los Angeles policeman who recently lost his wife and has been acting increasingly unstable. Danny Glover (“Predator”) plays a by-the-book homicide detective with an impeccable record and a loving family. Now the two are stuck with each other as partners, investigating a suicide that leads to an international crime ring — and ever-increasing danger.
Directed by Richard Donner (“Superman”), “Lethal Weapon” was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound and spawned a franchise that includes three sequels and a television series. The 4K UHD disc and Digital releases include both the 1987 theatrical version of the film and the 2000 director’s cut which features an additional 7 minutes of footage not seen in theaters. Two new featurettes are also included on both releases: the 7-minute “A Legacy of Inspiration: Remembering Richard Donner” and the 6-minute “‘I’m Too Old for This…’: A Chemistry That Became Iconic.”
