*** "[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge I'm not]] [[KillEmAll a cop tonight, Rog.]] [[ItsPersonal It's personal]]."

** The novelization ramps up the AdultFear even higher, when [=McAllister=] casually tells Murtaugh two of his men are going to become "double veterans"... [[spoiler: with his daughter. Murtaugh can't bear to tell his terrified, half-naked daughter that the expression is Vietnam War slang for a man that rapes a woman before killing her.]]

* The scene where Murtaugh learns [[spoiler: that the Shadow Company has kidnapped Rianne]]. After the failed hit on Riggs, he gets a call from dispatch, claiming that they found a body a couple blocks from his house. When Murtaugh jokes that the victim is probably blonde and has dimples, [[spoiler: the dispatcher responds "How did you know that?"]]; to reiterate, those Shadow Company bastards [[spoiler: killed a [[WouldHurtAChild '''teenage boy''']], [[TearJerker whose family will never have Christmas with him again]]]].

* Riggs' and Murtaugh's torture by the Shadow Company: Riggs is [[ShockTorture shocked repeatedly]] and Murtaugh is beaten up and salt is put in his wounds; the whole point of this was to see what they knew about the upcoming heroin shipment, but the thing is [[spoiler: they didn't know ''jack'', making the whole thing pointless]].

* The final fight between Riggs, Murtaugh, and Wah Sing Ku in the fourth movie. It’s brutal, messy, bloody, and realistic, and it eventually results in [[spoiler: Ku impaled through the torso by Murtaugh, Murtaugh knocked out, and Riggs shooting Ku to death underwater.]] Easily the most intense fight in the entire series. To top it all off, it’s even set in a [[DramaticThunder thunderstorm]]. Riggs even gets pinned underwater by debris until Murtaugh dives in and saves him. For a while, you might think for a minute there Riggs and Murtaugh might not make it out alive.

Granted, we was an AssholeVictim, but noboby deserves to go out like ''that''. Damn.
