Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Directed by: Richard Donner

Synopsis: Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) are back, this time trying to take down diplomats who are hiding criminal activity behind their immunity.

Purr Blur: The Murtaugh’s family tabby cat Burbank is seen only fleetingly in this film, first on the couch as the family gathers to watch Rianne’s (Traci Wolfe) television commercial.

The only other time Burbank is seen is on top of the refrigerator while Riggs is cooking and talking with Murtaugh’s wife, Trish (Darlene Love).
