I had the original release of the first one, so I've been focusing on 2 for now, the opening track is a knockout, also it makes a big difference to me that the order has quite a clear structure - the bad guys take over the music cues about a third of the way through and it more or less stays that way until there's a third to go - i love this about LLL's Krull release too, one third heroics, then solid swamp music, then back to heroics. I guess 2 had by far the most clearly defined antagonists in the series so it makes sense.
The lead riff in the Helicopter Approach/Helicopter Attack is a standout for me, especially when it bursts through in the chaotic Stilt House Falls with an added sense of triumph, probably my favorite track so far.
on a side note, it's been years since i've seen the film, but thinking back, don't half of the police department and patsy kensit all get killed basically because mel gibson pulls that fishtank prank? isn't that what it boils down to?

Has anyone in the UK had this come without customs charges?
I received my set in a week, with no customs charges. Strangely, I'm still waiting for Defiance and Superman Returns, which was ordered separately and shipped first. So, I might get slapped with charges on that one.
Same here. Recieved LW on Saturday but am still waiting for SR, Def and PA which was sent nearly a week earlier. I'm thinking it might be because LW was in a box and sailed straight through whereas SR et al are stuck with all the other Christmas parcels because it's in a jiffy. Fingers crossed.
I received Superman Returns and Defiance on Tuesday, with no issues :-)

Not really, all the cops that were killed from the P.D. chased the BMW thugs at the beginning and confiscated all of those krugerrands resulting in a huge financial loss, and then all of the cops that were killed were at the first showdown with the bad guys (where the cops basically spat in the thugs' faces) at the stilt house when Rudd first played his "diplomatic immunity" card.
fair enough, i don't think i could appreciate the movie now in the same way i did then, but it's fun to look at it from other angles, like that prank being utterly irritating to joss ackland, and the last straw, what a different film it would be if mel spiraled into self-doubt and blamed himself. not that anyone would've signed off on that, except me.

Well the original script had Riggs killed and Murtaugh go on a rampage in revenge, but that got nixed.
nice, so danny glover becomes the lethal weapon, possessed by the spirit of mel gibson, and predator 2 becomes a crossover instead of a sequel, with glover demoted to south central, and gary busey playing the scientist who cloned himself as mr. joshua for the military.
hey, at least he got the predators' respect in the end, arnie had peak fitness and training, all glover had was attitude.
