Character mistake: The sign Riggs holds outside the South African Embassy has a spelling mistake. The sign says "end apartheid now" but the word apartheid is misspelt as "aparthied".
Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Patsy Kensit
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when Riggs is in the cargo area, a gunman shoots at him, he rolls and starts emptying the clip into him - you see the bullet holes in the gunman. But as Riggs is face to face with the gunman, the holes disappear.
Arjen Rudd: Certain policemen in this city have become an intolerable nuisance. They are obviously onto us again. How do you propose to handle the situation?
Pieter Vorstedt: Warn them off. It's my experience that a scared cop is more useful than a dead one.
Arjen Rudd: A warning... Is that not a bit tame?
Pieter Vorstedt: Depends how you do it.
Trivia: Right before Rianne's commercial begins, a Tales from the Crypt episode is on the TV. This is the second episode of the first season, titled And All Through the House about a woman who kills her husband and is terrorized by an escaped mental patient dressed up as Santa. The murderous woman is played by Mary Ellen Trainor, who plays the psychiatrist Stephanie Woods in the Lethal Weapon movies.
Question: Mel Gibson says "They killed them both." I know he's referring to his wife, but who's the second person?
