This film was reviewed by Dr. Barry Hummel of QDREF on September 3, 2011

Additional Comments:  "Mel Gibson accounted for 10 of the 11 smoking incidents in 'Lethal Weapon'.  In fact, the only other character to smoke in the movie was a suicidal character that Gibson handed a cigarette!  In one of the scenes, Gibson was seen smoking around children.  There were also two product placement scenes involving packs of Winston cigarettes.  The film was rated as balanced because of a scene in which Mel Gibson and Danny Glover discuss Gibson;s smoking in their police car."
