Story Synopsis:
Lethal Weapon 3 follows its smash hit predecessors in an explosive and hilarious action-filled caper. Los Angeles police detectives Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Glover) rip into a vicious crime ring dealing guns to the streets, despite the fact that Murtaugh is only eight days from retirement. Pesci returns as shady ex-mob accountant Leo Getz and Russo stars as Internal Affairs investigator Lorna Cole who, like Riggs, is a born risk taker. And risks are everywhere: a wrong-way chase speeds down an expressway, a housing tract blows up like matchsticks and Riggs takes an 80-foot plunge on a motorcycle.
LaserDisc Picture:
The digital video transfer is of excellent quality. Donner’s use of the widescreen format is effective. The picture has an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Color fidelity is excellent with natural looking fleshtones throughout.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby Surround® mix is aggressive and provides an excellent sense of both envelopment and distinct directional effects. The stereo staging is panoramic with an excellent sense of depth. Overall, however, the sound has a metallic edge that will require some toning down on your part with the treble control. The special sound effects are very dynamic with excellent bass extension. But it is the pace and intensity of the action scenes underscored by the excellent sound mix.
