Lethal Weapon Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Lethal Weapon (franchise) — The entry states the franchise brought in $2 billion from box office and merchandise from 1987 to 1998, but the actual combined worldwide box office for the four films is approximately $955 million, and there is no reliable source for $2 billion in total reven

It's Probably Me — The song was not rerecorded for Ten Summoner's Tales; it appears on Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994.

It's Probably Me — The song does not reuse leitmotifs from the original Lethal Weapon film's score; it is an original composition for Lethal Weapon 3.

Mr. Joshua — The entry says he kills Michael Hunsaker via helicopter attack, but in the film Hunsaker is killed by a bomb planted in his car.

Mr. Joshua — The entry states Joshua shoots Riggs in a drive-by while Riggs is wearing a bullet-proof vest, but in the film Riggs is not wearing a vest; he survives because the bullet hits his badge or a metal object.

Lethal Weapon (soundtrack) — The 2013 La-La Land Records release does not include 'Jingle Bell Rock' by Bobby Helms as the first track; that track appears on the 2017 La-La Land Records expanded edition, not the 2013 release.

Lethal Weapon (video game) — The NES and Game Boy versions were developed by Ocean Software, not Eurocom; the SNES and arcade versions were developed by Eurocom, so the entry incorrectly groups all versions under both developers.

Lethal Weapon (video game) — The arcade version is a light-gun shooter, not a side-scroller; the entry's tagline and genre description are inaccurate for that platform.

Lethal Weapon 2 — The entry claims Vorstedt reveals he was responsible for the death of Riggs's wife years earlier, but in the film Vorstedt only took credit for it; her death was actually a car accident unrelated to him.

Lethal Weapon 3 — The opening scene's bomb explosion was filmed using the former Soreno Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida, not Orlando City Hall.

Lethal Weapon 3 — The closing credits feature the implosion of the former Orlando City Hall, not the Soreno Hotel.

Lethal Weapon 3 (pinball) — The claim that Data East's most successful pinball machine by 1994 is 'Lethal Weapon 3' is not supported by widely known industry data; Data East's 'Star Wars' (1992) and 'The Simpsons' (1990) are often cited as more commercially successful.

Lethal Weapon 3 (pinball) — The hidden leveling system is described as using a 'gun handle' for video shootouts, but the actual feature is a hidden 'Uzi' video mode accessed via a specific button sequence, not a physical gun handle.
