"One of the best, most exciting police action thrillers since The French Connection." - Jeffrey Lyons, Sneak Previews/INN. Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He's a Mad Max gone maniacal, a man whose killing expertise and suicidal recklessness make him a Lethal Weapon to anyone he works against. Or with. Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is an easy-going homicide detective with a loving family, a big house and a pension he doesn't want to lose. Imagine Martaugh's shock when he learns his new partner is a guy with nothing to lose: wild-eyed, burnt-out Martin Riggs. Lethal Weapon is the thrill-packed story of two Vietnam-vets-turned-cops who have just one other thing in common: both hate to work with partners. But their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation leads to all-out, take-no-prisoners, martial-arts-and-machine-guns war with an international heroin ring. Director Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie, The Goonies) moves that war at two speeds: fast and faster. Hot L.A. days and nights explode in one show-topping scene after another, culminating in a no-holds-barred battle between Riggs and his Angel-of-Death nemesis (Gary Busey) - an electrifying sequence incorporating three martial-arts styles and requiring four full nights to film. Fierce, fast and frequently funny, Lethal Weapon fires off round after round of can't-miss entertainment.

"The funniest film of the year!" - Patrick Stoner, Flick/PBS. " ' Junior' delivers big, big laughs!" - Joel Siegel, Good Morning America. What happens when Arnold Schwarzenegger gets pregnant? The hilarious answer is delivered in this delightful comedy from Ivan Reitman, the director of Ghostbusters and Twins. Co-starring Danny DeVito and Academy Award winner Emma Thompson, it's a radiant, laugh-inducing farce that touches the heart as deftly as it tickles the funnybone. Schwarzenegger portrays Dr. Alex Hesse, who with his associate, Dr. Larry Arbogast (DeVito), has developed a wondrous new drug to ensure healthy pregnancies. But when the government forbids further testing of their creation, Alex and Larry secretly move forward with a daring plan. To succeed, they must cope with a snooping, villainous research administrator (Frank Langella) and the brilliant, beautiful-but-klutzy scientist, Dr. Diana Reddin (Thompson). The seeds are sown for a hysterical, high-spirited whirlwind of humor, romance and tender insights into the magnificent power of maternal love. It's a blessed event Siskel and Ebert give "Two thumbs up!"
