The only true answers here are #1 and #2. And if it wasn't for Joe Pesci, it would only be #1. The first Lethal Weapon is easily the best. First of all, Riggs wasn't a big pussy. He was truly a "lethal weapon", a crack shot, a martial artist, and an all-around bad ass. Second of all, the lack of chemistry between the two characters was perfectly created by the great chemistry between the two actors. Murtaugh and Riggs never do anything the same way, don't see eye to eye, don't even get along or like each other...but at the end of the movie, they're standing side by side, guns in hands, with Murtaugh holding up Riggs telling him, "I got you partner, I got you".
And let's not even get into the fight scene between Busey and Gibson. What a great scene, especially the part at the end where Riggs has him in the triangle choke, a move very few people would have known about at the time, given MMA's popularity didn't explode until 15-20 years later.
The original Lethal Weapon is easily the best. And those of you who picked #4 should be ashamed of yourselves. Just like Rocky V, most of us pretend Lethal Weapon 4 never happened.
