| 2:15 | He is a bit cavalier about it. That's what a bomb squad is for. |
| 5:44 | He can't even remember what his own hunch is, haha. |
| 7:41 | "Right, oops." |

| 22:12 | Oh my god, that's awful. "Now we got a relationship we can build on." Oof. |
| 25:58 | Retirement plans = things. |
| 32:54 | "What are we, required reading or something?' |
| 41:44 | They must have filmed this after an actual game, right? |
| 44:51 | I don't know how people can just eat raw onions like that. Bleurgh. |
| 51:36 | It's weird when he's being earnest. |
| 54:08 | "Semantics? I'm always up for some antics." |
| 57:18 | I know he's unorthodox but why must he do things without backup? |
| 1:03:28 | I quite like comparing scars as a way to get to know each other. |
| 1:10:09 | They're a brilliant partnership, flaws and all. |
| 1:11:49 | "We're in the middle of a case... of scotch." |
| 1:21:25 | Love them just messing about in the office. |

| 1:41:29 | "I wish somebody would cover me for a change!" |

Thoughts
Loved the first Lethal Weapon, whilst the second was a bit of a disappointment, but thankfully this third installment was perhaps the best of the lot. It doesn't take long to be right back in the thick of things, with our heroes setting off a bomb within ten minutes of arriving on screen.
I actually liked how things got more serious as the story went along, and there were moments of real heartfelt insight. Their fight on the boat was a wonderful way to get to know their partnership even better, and it contrasted nicely with the hilarity in the office.
Plus, Rene Russo was a great addition to the team, always good to see a female character holding her own and, in fact, showing the boys up on occasion! Really loved this.
