"If they get the original cast back with a few good additions and a decent story, this could be great. Also this could be utter rubbish."

Jon Freeman wrote:

"Absolutely he should. The last Lethal Weapon was not bad but could've been better. Lethal Weapon 1 and 2 are the best. They need a good script and the humour of the original."

Rose commented:

"Brilliant and something to look forward to. Loved the Lethal Weapon films. Mel Gibson is one of my favourite actors!"
