Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn, and music by Hans Zimmer—what's not to like? Honestly, I wasn’t disappointed. I remember watching this as a kid and loving it. Back then, Mel Gibson was the ultimate action hero for me, jumping from Lethal Weapon to Lethal Weapon, and I loved his manic energy.

It’s silly, but with some quite funny moments and a likable central couple. It's a pity that John Badham's direction isn't very dazzling, so many of the action scenes (of which there are many) are similarly derivative to the script, and all the miraculous dodging of bullets and buckshot feels rather futile. Both Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn have made much better comedies... But David Carradine and Bill Duke aren't going after them in any of them.
