I have this collection and stll watch them occasionally. Nice write up.
I watched these movies in theatres when they were released.
I could go on for hours about each of these films and the actors Mel Gibon, Danny Glover, and Joe Pesci.
The first film was great and set the stage.
The second film was also great and used the movie as a platform against apartheid. This was timely for the political environment.
The third film was fantastic; however, the movie was used as a platform against the gun industry, which is probably the cause for mixed reviews.
The fourth film was quite nostalgic, bringing the franchise to a close. It was great by itself. The message was against human trafficking.
The introduction of Jet Li was remarkable. I remember the moment and I said, "Who is this guy". As a fan of Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and the whole karate movie scene, Jet Li came out with force. I followed all Jet Li movies after his Lethal Weapon introduction.
