Continuity: Captain Murphy arrives at the hospital and tells Riggs and Murtaugh they have to give up their captains' badges. He holds up two sergeants' badges, one in each hand. In his right hand is a badge on a black leather badge holder; in his left is a badge on a brown leather holder. In the immediate reverse shot, he is holding the brown badge holder in his right hand. Additionally, the badge is upside down (the open end of the clip is facing upward). In the following shot the badges are in their original positions.

Well, the script in the film is brilliant. Joe Pesci, as always, makes the crowd laugh until they have tears in their eyes. Just by having Chris Rock in the cast makes the film worthy of watching. Just like the other lethal weapon films, there's the great duo that makes this film shine, and of course that i am talking about Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. My favorite part of the movie is where Joe Pesci has a little "argument" with Danny Glover, and the constant mistakes by Mel saying the name of Cris Rock's character are hilarious. The roof top jumping and the last fight with Jet Li was also great. So if you haven't seen this, get some some money from your parents and go and rent it!!!
