[edit] Portrayal of South Africans

I have added the section on the portrayal of white South Africans in the film once again. I consider it to be relevant information that can be verified by confirming that the facts mentioned about the emblems and accents and suchlike are actually correct (which they are). Foreign audiences get the wrong idea about pre-1994 South Africa too easily from movies such as this. Please discuss before just removing the section again. Oom Kosie 00:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the following block of text:

The South Africans arrive towards the start of the film when a foreign man is driving a car full of Krugerrands and he gets caught by the police. Krugerrands are like the British pennies, but a South African equivalent. Their house falls off its stilts and blows up, killing several of the bad guys. The two leading terrorists survive and are found putting drugs back onto a German ship heading for Capetown towards the end of the film. Patsy Kensit's character is shot by one of the terrorists because she was in bed with the enemy, and she is thrown into the sea. Mel fights with one of the bad guys and punches him in the face, and shoots him. Danny's character, seen as an inferior by the villains, shoots the bad guy in the head and saves Mel from bleeding to death.

It starts out synopsis-like, but seems to turn into simply a list of unrelated events. Damien Prystay 00:03, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lethal Weapon 2 Poster.jpg

Image:Lethal Weapon 2 Poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
