Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) *

There is only one reason to see this lousy and boring piece of crap: Hong Kong superstar Jet Li, making a truly impressive Hollywood debut. He plays a heroic gangster persecuted by evil American cops, led by Mel Gibson. Unfortunately, the whole film is told from the bad guys' point-of-view, leaving preciously little screen time for our hero. Therefore, scenes where he beats the crapola out of Gibson, Glover and Company are few and far between. And in a rare twist for a US film, there is an unhappy ending, with the baddies defeating the good guy.
