Lethal Weapon 2 Is Coming in Hot to Tubi
Riggs and Murtaugh return with bigger danger, sharper banter, and Joe Pesci turning witness protection into a full-contact sport.
Remind MeBy 1989, Riggs and Murtaugh were already more than a mismatched pair. They were the buddy-cop blueprint with a live wire on one side, a family man on the other, and a shared talent for turning an assignment into a citywide incident.
This time, the LAPD hands them a babysitting job: protect Leo Getz, an accountant with mob heat on his tail. Naturally, this being Lethal Weapon 2, the job does not stay tidy for long. The sequel cranks up the danger, keeps the banter sharp, and lets the partnership get even more personal.
Richard Donner's action thriller is arriving on Tubi soon. If your watchlist has room for car chases, bruised loyalty, and two detectives who treat procedure like a loose suggestion, start making space.
The Cast
Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs
Gibson brings Martin Riggs back as the live wire who can turn a traffic stop into a disaster movie. In this sequel, his recklessness still has bite, but the fun is watching how fiercely he protects the people who have become his family.
Danny Glover as Roger Murtaugh
Glover keeps Roger Murtaugh grounded, irritated, and deeply human. He is the partner who would love one peaceful day and never gets it, which makes every sigh, glare, and reluctant sprint into danger land with perfect buddy-cop rhythm.
Joe Pesci as Leo Getz
Pesci crashes into the movie as Leo Getz, an accountant with a mouth that runs faster than everyone else's patience. He adds a new comic spark to the team, giving Riggs and Murtaugh someone to protect and, very often, survive.
Joss Ackland as Arjen Rudd
Ackland plays Arjen Rudd with cool, polished menace, the kind of antagonist who thinks status can keep him untouchable. His calm makes a sharp contrast with Riggs and Murtaugh's messy, physical style of justice, which is exactly the point.
“Diplomatic immunity will only get you so far.”
Sneak Peek
Why Watch It
Lethal Weapon 2 hits that sweet spot where an action sequel knows exactly why people came back. The explosions matter, but the real charge is Riggs and Murtaugh needling each other, saving each other, and somehow making total chaos feel like a workplace routine.
Joe Pesci's Leo Getz adds a new comic gear without sanding down the danger. The movie has the confidence to be loud, funny, mean when it needs to be, and surprisingly heartfelt when the partnership takes a hit.
If your ideal crime thriller comes with buddy-cop friction, quotable standoffs, and practical late-80s action energy, this belongs on the list before it drops. Lethal Weapon 2 is coming soon to Tubi, and it still knows exactly how to kick down the door.
