Sinopsis(1)
Arma Letal es una historia rebosante de emoción y escenas espectaculares acerca de dos veteranos del Vietnam convertidos en policías que tienen simplemente una cosa en común: los dos odian trabajar con compañeros. Pero su sociedad se vuelve la clave de la supervivencia cuando una rutinaria investigación de asesinato les lleva hasta una organización internacional de tráfico de heroína. (Warner Bros. España)

Not that funny, not that action-packed, but quite well balanced nonetheless. Either way, the first Lethal Weapon failed to really grow on me, and I prefer watching the later installments. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover make a solid duo and complement each other excellently, but there is relatively little action, and it doesn't make a big splash in the world. It's nice to see Gary Busey again in the role of a villain, and his final brawl on the lawn, as well as Gibson's character's suicidal tendencies gazing at a photo of his wife, and the the opening scene are noteworthy. Otherwise, it's a typical American action fairy tale. I prefer Die Hard. The rating is somewhere between three and four stars.

Donner and Black's old-school attempt at a gritty urban western that veered away from its original vibe with subsequent installments, which is probably the fault of the unique and, for me and probably for the filmmakers, unexpected chemistry between the leads. I love the world of six-wheelers, honking horns, dirty streets, fast food joints, and blood on the tarmac, so for me this is the strongest installment.

I used to really adore this duo back in the day. I have to say that even after all these years I still enjoy it immensely. In addition, Donner showed that he always could make a proper action spectacle with great scenes. Shane Black's script is one of his best. And Gibson and Glover are simply fascinating characters.

A great first part of a series of genius. A clever screenplay and Donner’s superb directing, with a clutch of great actors. Mel Gibson is invincible as Martin Riggs. His performance as a total lunatic and miserable cop is flawless and you can see that spark of madness in Riggs’ fits of emotion. And it’s full of unforgettable lines and gags that make me laugh even for the twentieth time. A classic.

Outrageous crap with a sparse script and tons of strange lines, but the Glover-Gibson acting package is incredibly fun, light, natural and original. Although it's an amalgam of manly bullshit, action clichés, and thoughtless humor, the interplay of the title pair elevated Donner's film two classes higher. Personally, I like the scenes from the Murtaugh household, which resemble a family sitcom and contrast wonderfully with the other face of the film – the rough action "detective story". It's hard to imagine a better action relax than Lethal Weapon: it's undemanding, soullessly funny and delightfully cheesy.
