Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when Riggs is in the cargo area, a gunman shoots at him, he rolls and starts emptying the clip into him - you see the bullet holes in the gunman. But as Riggs is face to face with the gunman, the holes disappear.
Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Patsy Kensit
'Adolph' Vorstedt and his goons, attempt to murder Riggs by throwing him in deep water with a straight jacket on. Before they do, Vorstedt tells him that he killed his previous wife Vicky. When Riggs escapes from the jacket underwear, he finds the dead body of his new girlfriend Rika. This infuriates Riggs so much, that he drives over to the house on stilts where the diplomats are holding Leo and rips it to pieces. Riggs and Martaugh then infiltrate the ship where all the counterfeit money is being loaded. After shooting it out with all the men on the ship, Riggs has a small fight with Vorstedt. It ends with Riggs pressing a button that releases a cargo container that crushes Vorstedt. Riggs gets shot numerous times by Arjen Rudd. Martaugh shoots Rudd in the head. The film ends with Martaugh telling Riggs that he won't die until Martaugh says he can die. They both laugh.

Arjen Rudd: Certain policemen in this city have become an intolerable nuisance. They are obviously onto us again. How do you propose to handle the situation?
Pieter Vorstedt: Warn them off. It's my experience that a scared cop is more useful than a dead one.
Arjen Rudd: A warning... Is that not a bit tame?
Pieter Vorstedt: Depends how you do it.
Trivia: When Leo is cleaning Riggs' house, you can hear the song "I'm Not Scared" by the group Eighth Wonder. Patsy Kensit, who portrays Rika Van Den Haas in the movie, was the lead singer of the group.
Question: Mel Gibson says "They killed them both." I know he's referring to his wife, but who's the second person?
