synopsis
The fourth installment in the Lethal Weapon series follows LAPD officers Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, now both feeling too old to be doing what they're doing, in their attempts to stop the Chinese triads from conducting their illegal business in the U.S. They find that Uncle Benny, Chinatown's mob boss, is using profit from the smuggling of illegal immigrants to underwrite a counterfeiting scheme by which the Triads (led by Jet Li) will buy the Four Fathers (the Triad heads) back from the Chinese military.
