Lethal Weapon

Four films in order, and a television series that is not a continuation and changes its lead halfway through.

Where to start with Lethal Weapon

Four films in release order, which is straightforward. The part worth knowing is that the television series is not a fifth chapter, it is the same premise told again with different actors, so it does not go anywhere in the film order.

  1. 1
    Lethal Weapon (1987) Lethal Weapon

    Much darker than the sequels remember it being, and set at Christmas, which surprises people. Nothing before it, and the partnership only works if you see it start.

  2. 2
    Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) Lethal Weapon 2

    The one that turns the series into a comedy and adds the third lead. It follows directly and is the one most people rate highest.

  3. 3
    Lethal Weapon, the series, season 1 Lethal Weapon

    A separate retelling on television with two new actors, not a sequel to anything. Worth knowing it exists, but it slots nowhere in the film order and can be skipped entirely.

Then what? The third and fourth films run on in order after the second. If you take the series, know that it becomes a different show after its second season: the actor playing Riggs was fired in May 2018, the character was killed off, and season three replaces him with an entirely new one. Fox cancelled it after that.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
