Lethal Weapon 2 End Credits

Credits from the 1989 film Lethal Weapon 2. Music during the credits is "Cheer Down" by George Harrison.

[@brianparksdesign]

This movie and ending song will forever remind me of the summer of 1989. One of the best summers of my life.

Lethal weapon 2 and batman 89!

[@jdxsr85]

The summer of sequels.

[@Koopabonga]

1989 was the best year in the entire History anyway

[@mustangjohhny]

Agree

[@chopperdeath]

Such a good song and so unexpected for the closing credits. It instantly explodes with nostalgia even though the movie just ended. Fucking genius.

[@hissatsu4937]

Couldn't have said it any better. My thoughts exactly.

Love this song and the movie. A true classic of the 80's.

[@oscardarvique2702]

Good song

[@jameshoran8]

This ending credits along with Heat in 1995 are the only two that I'll listen to the very end to hear the music.

[@Joelomite]

The song fit well for many ways: -The background of the dark dawn sky, with tinges of green peeking from the gray -The song shows the sadness behind the madness of Riggs -It may describe how Riggs lost everything and the next woman who meets him will love him despite his shortcomings....and that he should take it easy and not be so neurotic. Hence, "cheer down."

[@tkm1550]

Man you still have that account?

[@javiergentile1161]

en si la canción responde a estados de ánimo de Olivia , la mujer de George

[@gameroftheyear1000]

It’s funny you say that the next woman he meets he’ll “cheer down”, George Harrison actually wrote this song as his wife said he had that type of personality and told him to cheer down a bit. It stuck with him and here we are now.

I was lucky enough to be working at a movie theater when this movie came out during my high school years. I've seen this ending credits hundreds of times while cleaning up the hall. One of my favorite ending songs ever. And yes, it's played a little faster than normal on this video.

i like the speed..its diffreent and its all good

I like the original but this slightly faster version from the end credits of LW2 is actually my preference!

[@chopperdeath]

Hahahaha! I remember letting everyone out so I could clean up everything before the next showing.

[@jph4852]

@@chopperdeath Well of course I had to wait until the hall was clear of customers, too. Towards the end of its run, this movie had few customers that left when the credits rolled. So I got to enjoy them alone while cleaning.

"Cheer Down" - George Harrison

[@HopliteWarlord]

How lucky were the producers of Leathal Weapon 2 to have George Harrison allow them to play this masterpiece at the end of their movie!

[@A.French]

They paid for it

[@gameroftheyear1000]

He wrote it for the movie. It’s apart of the soundtrack. Just like how Sting and Eric Clapton wrote the opening track for LW3.

[@leecroft7311]

They don't make movies like this anymore... 😞

[@danielfennessy46]

Because a Richard Donner cared about good film making. Not diversity hires and pushing 5-6 looking chics who dyke out as 10s

[@Fred50099]

Cheer Down by George Harrison I can see by your grin That you're trembling within It's all over town, cheer down And the smile on your face Is sometimes out of place Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down. To be continued

[@johnnypinestead7879]

Idk why but when the credits start it’s a great feeling. I think it’s cause it’s the best lethal weapon. Good song too that fits it

[@GenGamesUniverse]

At the beginning of this clip, this was actually going to be the original ending to LW2. No voice overs, nothing. It was supposed to have been that Riggs was gunned down in the line of duty and succumbed to his wounds as Murtargh was holding his lifeless body on his legs. However, at the last minute, Richard Donner felt he had another LW film in him to film and he changed it so that Riggs survived (barely) from his wounds, and he had Mel and Danny re-record some adlib lines.

[@baronvg]

Lethal Weapon 2 was a good movie and all but I swear...this end credits sequence with the George Harrison song just fucking made it for me. I absolutely love this part!

[@TheDarkKnight1983]

Indeed it was an incredible year at the movies! I was six years old but I actually saw Batman, Ghostbusters 2, Lethal Weapon 2, Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, and License To Kill all in the theater! My parents were cool.....they took me along to movies regardless if it was rated R. lol!

[@p-jaywade1333]

[@BillyButcher90]

It's cool that you got to see them when they were released. But how were you able to see those films in the cinema?

[@thedarkknight_1983]

@@BillyButcher90 Not sure I understand the question. If you’re underage you can still see an R or PG-13 rated movie if you were with your parent or legal guardian. At least you could in the 80s’ and 90s’.

[@BillyButcher90]

@@thedarkknight_1983 It's not like that in the UK when you watch a film rated '15', which is the R-rating equivalent. Only people aged at least 15-years-old are allowed to go see it hence the need to lie about their age.

this is the best lethal ending song.best lethal opening song was lethal weapon 3.fitting isnt it

[@jldraw]

@TurgeonFan77132 It should also be noted that the only reason this song is featured in this film to begin with is due to George's friendship with Eric Clapton. Clapton had requested some songs from Harrison in late 89 to help pad out his "Journeyman" LP. Harrison sent him over a tape containing "Cheer Down", "Run So Far" and "That Kind Of Woman" and told Clapton to select a song for his album. Clapton selected "Run So Far" but apparently thought much of "Cheer Down" that it was included here.

[@jeffman52001]

Lethal Weapon 2 is a super film, love the music and the songs in the film. This song, Cheer Down by George Harrison rules!, George Harrison and Tom Petty wrote this song, I salute you both, you both are great musicians and songs writers.

[@gameroftheyear1000]

Technology taking over unfortunately, just like James Bond films, when die another day came out it was a cgi film with new technology and a not good film because of it, older bond films have charm because of the lack of Cgi, just like die hard has transformed into it and most beloved film franchises and films as a whole, unfortunate :(

[@Tuneman1984]

I like how timeless this songs really is, when you think about it. So many '80s action/comedy movies would end with music, most of which sounds dated today or "stereotypically '80s". This one really stands the test of time. It doesn't sound '80s, or anything really, it's just an awesome song and the perfect end to an awesome movie. I think I need to watch this tonight...

[@racerknight99FirstChannel]

RIP Richard Donner 🙏😥

[@turquisestones]

Still remember how it was when I first watched this ending scene - holding my breath every 2 seconds fearing that he would still die, my heart pounding throughout the whole time - and then finally hearing Harrison's voice and realizing that it's a happy end. The best happy end ever, if you ask me.

[@MrMoisheLebowitz]

This song takes me back to Astoria, Queens on Steinway Street Cinéma in 1989. What great memories. I saw Lethal Weapon 2 back then. The nostalgia just kills you.

cos of this song, playing Cheer Down while cruising at dawn feels sublime.

[@mackaready1]

What a great movie stayed up alone to watch it on Easter 2020 today. Never saw it in its entirety before. Great action, good plot, gorgeous girl, great closing song. In 1989 I was in 10th grade, I'm feeling nostalgic tonight.

[@ZenMotoMCR]

The title of the song is attributed to harrisons wife "olivia" who would tell her husband, "Okay, cheer down, big fellow" when he became too enthusiastic.[ "Cheer Down" was among the four compositions that Harrison offered to eric clapton for inclusion on the latter's album journeyman. Clapton instead decided to use it for the soundtrack to the film lethal weapon 2 in which he had been commissioned to supply, but he persuaded Harrison to contribute his own recording for inclusion in the film.

True story: My parents and I rented this from the library when I was 13 (Yes the library and it was a free checkout, too) not knowing what was in it, only knowing it's a Lethal Weapon movie so expect some action and thrills. We're all on the couch, sitting there watching the movie and then it gets to the sex scene and Patsy Kensit's breasts and well...that was extremely awkward.

[@spaceodds]

I agree. What a year. Lethal Weapon 2, was a brilliant sequel, Batman started off the comic book franchise films (again) And we come to The Abyss and License To Kill. Both films performed below expectations, with some cynics claiming that Licence To Kill nearly killed off the Bond franchise. However here we are 23 years later and both films have stood the test of time, The Abyss is now hailed as a classic and License To Kill is now the misunderstood masterpiece that it always was. Thanks Craig.
