      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Buddy cops Martin Riggs (Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Glover) are back with their guns drawn in a sequel that is just as good as the first. This time the delightful bachelor Riggs and family man Murtaugh are in charge of Leo Getz (Pesci), a fast-talking government witness who knows a dangerous secret about laundering drug money.

    DVD Picture:
    The previously released non-anamorphic DVD does not look nearly as sharp or clean as this new, anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD. Colors are rich, with balanced hues and deep, pure blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed throughout. Minor edge enhancement, occasional pixelization and artifacts are apparent but, overall, the picture is pleasing.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #17 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read this bad-ass magazine for its tight reference systems and for helping me set up my Monster HTPS 7000 Home Theatre Power Source. It also helps me set up my Hitachi Ultra Vision LCD TV. I also read it for the DVD reviews, along with the DVD drop dates. I also read it so I can daydream about actually owning something in this magazine, including that Monster HTPS 7000. I have a Bose system, but I'm ready to step it up.
