• Riggs (Mel Gibson) eats dog biscuits in order to quit smoking. In "Mad Max 2" (1981), the character played by Mel eats dog food to survive.
• During the chase after the armored car, Delores exclaims that it is the "Warrior of the Road." The American title of "Mad Max 2" (1981), starring Mel Gibson, is "The Road Warrior".
• Please watch the end credits until the very end, as there is a short scene after them.
• Murtaugh’s boat is called “Code 7”, which is the Los Angeles Police Department’s code for a lunch break.
• During the scene where Riggs and Lorna compare scars, many of Riggs’ scars relate to events in “Lethal Weapon 2” (1989), specifically the scar from a gunshot wound to the lung and the scar from a knife wound to the leg.
• Number of deaths: 17.
• Carrie Fisher polished the script, but her name isn't mentioned in the credits.
• Bill Frederick, the mayor of Orlando, played a police officer who says "Bravo!" to Murtaugh and Riggs after the building explosion.
• Joel Silver paid $165,000 for a permit to demolish the building.
• Due to the film's box office success, Warner Brothers gifted Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Joel Silver, Richard Donner, and Jeffrey Bowm each with a new Range Rover.
• The director's cut of the film has a runtime of 121 minutes.
• The building that Riggs and Murtaugh accidentally blow up actually explodes. It is the Orlando City Hall, which was slated for demolition. Demolition experts blew up the building, and the film crew captured the process in detail from multiple angles. Gibson and Glover genuinely ran from the real explosion, without any stunt doubles. Later, participants in all four films would call this explosion the best of all those they had to film.
• This is the only film in this film series where the villains did not threaten the Murtaugh family.
• When the building explodes at the beginning of the film, the roar heard by the audience was also used in "King Kong" (1976).
• Filming took place from October 2, 1991, to January 29, 1992.
