Just like wedging Chris Rock into Lethal Weapon 4, that’s how Joe Pesci’s Leo Getz feels in 3.
The character was so popular Lethal Weapon 2, the creators of 3 tried to find way to write a story that involved way too much of him doing things that were unnatural for the character as audiences knew him from Lethal Weapon 2.
Instead of being a major annoyance as a criminal that Riggs and Murtaugh are forced to babysit, now he’s now kind of their partner?
Why in the world would they deal with this annoying character if they didn’t have to?
