Grab your badge and get ready for backup! Designed by Joe Kaminkow, Lethal Weapon 3 is a high-octane tribute to the iconic buddy-cop franchise starring Riggs and Murtaugh. Frequently praised on Pinside and Tilt Forums for its incredible “bang-for-your-buck” entertainment, this machine is a quintessential example of Data East’s flashy, high-energy 90s style.
The playfield is a target-rich environment featuring a working gear-shifter on the front of the cabinet used to launch balls and “fire” shots during the intense video modes. Players must navigate high-speed ramps and loops to trigger explosive multiballs, accompanied by a rocking soundtrack that includes hits like C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat.”

Community enthusiasts love LW3 for its approachable rules and satisfyingly “crunchy” sound effects. Whether you’re choosing your stunt in the “Stunt Slide” or engaging in a fast-paced shootout to grab the million-point jackpots, the game delivers pure, unadulterated action. It’s a fast, loud, and incredibly fun ride that captures the cinematic chaos of the movies.
Come test your skills and see if you’re brave enough to survive the streets of L.A. and show everyone you’re not ‘too old for this’!
