I remember not being particularly enjoying LW3, but I suspect that's because the film had the misfortune of being released a few weeks after the LA Riots following the Rodney King trial and the idea of cop movie where the main characters tended to operate outside the lines was not really in sync with the times.
I think the original Lethal Weapon is also one of the less appreciated Christmas movies. It's definitely a top 10. I would put LW2 over Die Hard with a Vengeance. DHWV is better than DH2, but Lethal Weapon 2 was a great action film interspersed with great comedy bits (the moving to South Africa scene, and the reason never to go thru the Drive-Thru are gems)
Heat 2: Two Hot
The Reheat
Also Collateral is underrated.
Collateral is seriously underrated. I should watch it again.
Re Heat, Mykelti Williamson’s soliloquy to Ashley Judd stands out. “This shit sells itself”.
“Edward Furlong had some child star troubles after this and never really worked again”
American History X erasure.
