Lethal Weapon 4
Lethal Weapon 4 is a 1998 American buddy cop action film directed and produced by Richard Donner, and starring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Chris Rock, and Jet Li (in his international film debut). It is the fourth installment in the Lethal Weapon film series. It is the last film in the series directed by Donner before his death, and the latest to be released theatrically.
The film was released on July 10, 1998, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $285 million worldwide, becoming the tenth highest-grossing film of 1998.
A fifth film, with Glover and Gibson set to reprise their roles as Riggs and Murtaugh, has languished in development hell since 2007.
Lorna Cole is pregnant with LAPD Sergeant Martin Riggs's baby; they are not married, but both are thinking about it. LAPD Sergeant Roger Murtaugh's daughter Rianne is also pregnant but will not reveal who the father is.
The officers and Leo Getz come upon a Chinese immigrant smuggling ring after running an oceangoing vessel aground, though the boat's captain escapes. After witnessing an INS agent callously send those found back to China, Murtaugh finds the Hong family hiding to avoid deportation. Murtaugh offers them shelter in his home, and their families, along with Riggs and Cole, bond. Grandfather Hong is looking for his uncle, a skilled engraver, who had paid for their passage to the US. Riggs discovers through Lorna that the father of Rianne's unborn child is Detective Lee Butters. The family is hiding this from Murtaugh, who would not approve of his daughter being with a police officer.
Continued investigation of the smuggling ring leads the officers to "Uncle" Benny Chan, a crime boss operating from a Chinatown restaurant. There, they are introduced to high-ranking Triad negotiator Wah Sing Ku. Chan forces them out of his restaurant when the officers show no probable cause. Riggs pulls the fire alarm so the sprinklers go off, forcing all the restaurant customers to flee. Outside, Riggs spots the ship captain and tries to give chase but fails to capture him. Ku later intercepts the captain and kills him as punishment for attracting police attention.
Hong manages to contact his uncle, but this leads the Triads to Murtaugh's house. Ku and the Triad thugs kidnap the Hongs, tie up Murtaugh, his family, Riggs, and Cole and set the house ablaze. Ping, Hong's grandson, has evaded capture and helps to free the others in time. Though Riggs and Murtaugh chase down and kill Triad members, Ku escapes. He then brings Mr. Hong to his uncle at a warehouse, where he has been engraving plates for a counterfeiting operation for Ku and Chan in exchange for transit for his family. Ku kills Hong in front of his uncle to assure his continued work.
With Getz serving as a distraction, the officers confront Chan at his dentist's office to interrogate him with laughing gas for more information, but cannot get any leads. During which Riggs and Butters accidentally reveal the family secret to Murtaugh. Later, they discuss what they know with Detective Ng, who has worked on cases involving the Chinese government before. He recognizes that Ku must be trying to negotiate with a corrupt Chinese general for the release of the Four Fathers, high-ranking Triad members that include Ku's brother.
