Notes
Although "Lethal Weapon 3," with it's images of violent Los Angeles cops, opened on the coattails of the Rodney King beating -- which some thought would hurt its box-office draw -- it went on to become one of the top-grossing movies of 1992. Some critics speculated that audiences enjoy the film's interracial friendship between Gibson's spontaneously unstable Riggs and the restraint of Glover's solidly middle class Murtaugh.
Shot in Technicolor and Panavision.
Additional credits: Gregory Kent Simmons (assistant director); Controlled Demolition International (structural implosion effects)
