![]() ![]() He then learned that she was being filmed by a movie crew, that the gun was made of rubber, and that he had just ruined the scene. From a distance, Riggs saw Rianne being held at gunpoint and raced through a used car lot to jump on her attacker. While on their way to work, Riggs and Murtaugh first stopped and parked on the street, anxious to see short-haired daughter Rianne's (Traci Wolfe) first day on a job. ![]() Travis coldly said: "Now we got a relationship we can build on." As Tyrone stood by, Smitty was knocked unconscious, thrown into wet cement being poured for a foundation, and drowned. He then questioned one of his workers, Smitty (John Cenatiempo), about pulling off the failed armored truck job - claiming that it jeopardized the business when Smitty's partner Billy Phelps was apprehended. Travis spoke to African-American associate Tyrone (Gregory Millar) about his "gold-mine" project away from the inner city. The next scene was set at Rancho Arroyo, a Mesa Verde Construction housing development in the desert near Los Angeles, run by foreman Jack Travis (Stuart Wilson). As Riggs and Murtaugh left, they saw Murtaugh's teenaged son Nick (Damon Hines) speaking to a black friend named Darryl (Bobby Wynn), a drop-out who was associated with other gang-members. Riggs was given Purina dog biscuits to chew on, to prevent him from continuing his lethal smoking habit. Getz promised to arrange for back-dated building permits for the unapproved building of the hobby room above the garage. Now a peroxide-blonde, the hyperkinetic hustler was showing the Murtaugh home to a young couple, although creating subterfuge by highlighting all the previous damage done to it (in the previous film) ("it's called full disclosure"), including the completely-replaced picture window after a drug dealer crashed his car through it and shot up the place, and the completely-remodeled upstairs bathroom after "unexpected bomb damage." The buyers were quickly scared off. Now with only six days until Murtaugh's retirement, Riggs was doing his laundry at his partner's house, when the Murtaugh's real estate broker (representing Getz Realty), Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), drove up in his red convertible. When he suddenly braked, the second impersonator, suspect Billy Phelps (Mark Pellegrino), crashed through the windshield, was rendered unconscious - and arrested. After a lengthy chase and pursuit on crowded city streets, Riggs heaved one of the men out onto the street from the moving vehicle, and then fought his way to taking control of the wheel. When the impersonator pulled his gun and shot one of the real officers from the second vehicle, Riggs jumped onto the back of the first truck, while Murtaugh ("I'm getting too old for this") followed in the second truck, driven by flirtatious, talkative, big-busted "Road Warrior" Delores (Delores Hall), one of the armored guards. After Riggs confronted and hassled a jaywalker (Andrew Hill Newman), they noticed that two armored trucks were pulled up at the same business with the proprietor asking the first armed officer ("You're not the regular guy"). Murtaugh was embarrassed that he had to wear a girdle, since his uniform had shrunk over the years. The next day, the two partners were demoted to uniformed, beat-cop patrol officers, still arguing with each other over which wire was cut. His tampering accelerated the timer, forcing them to flee for their lives (with a stray cat) before the building exploded and collapsed. After the two looked at it ("There's more plastic than Cher") and bickered about cutting either the red or blue wire, Riggs finally cut the red wire. Without waiting for the bomb squad to arrive, Riggs convinced a reluctant Murtaugh to check it out with him and try to deactivate the bomb. (Murtaugh was 8 days away from retirement, in a countdown throughout the film, and fearing his retirement would be placed in jeopardy with his risk-taking partner.) A bomb device had been seen in a parked car on Parking Level 1 (in the basement) of the evacuated International Control Systems Inc. The two heroes of the film series, LAPD Sergeants Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) were responding to the report of a bomb. ![]() Richard Donner, 118 minutes, 121 minutes (director's cut) ![]()
