De regisseur van de de vier 'Lethal Weapon' films Richard Donner heeft het idee dat er nog steeds ruimte is voor een deel 5 van de populaire reeks.

[eng]"I have the story in my head for a fifth and final Lethal Weapon, but it's all up to Mel Gibson," says Donner. "It would be 24 hours in the lives of Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover). The last couple of times I talked to Mel, it really seemed he was interested in doing one more."

"I really want to put the franchise to bed properly," Donner adds.[/eng]
