Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
Plot summary
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Mel Gibson, Patsy Kensit
Riggs and Murtaugh are assigned to protect a witness who leads them to a South African diplomat who is abusing his power.
Audio problem: In the scene where Leo explains how he launders the drug money and Roger says "You're a cheat", Leo says "Come on, everyone cheats a little, look at the pentagon." But when he says "look at the pentagon", it's dubbed in because the sound of his voice doesn't match his other dialogue, and if you read his lips it doesn't match either.
JaysonMartin Riggs: Police! Open up!
Leo Getz: How do I know it's the police?
Martin Riggs: After I shoot you through the door, you can examine the bullet. Open up!
Trivia: When Leo is cleaning Riggs' house, you can hear the song "I'm Not Scared" by the group Eighth Wonder. Patsy Kensit, who portrays Rika Van Den Haas in the movie, was the lead singer of the group.
