This movie and ending song will forever remind me of the summer of 1989. One of the best summers of my life.

Such a good song and so unexpected for the closing credits. It instantly explodes with nostalgia even though the movie just ended. Fucking genius.

Love this song and the movie. A true classic of the 80's.

The perfect song to end a perfectly awesome movie!!!

this song makes the ending even better :D

Epic as hell even after 30 years!

Always liked this slightly sped up version used in the credits

I remember traveling early morning down to Florida in the 80's and passing by refineries and hearing this tune. Great memories ! Classic

GREAT guitar playing by Mr. Harrison here.

This ending credits along with Heat in 1995 are the only two that I'll listen to the very end to hear the music.

I was lucky enough to be working at a movie theater when this movie came out during my high school years. I've seen this ending credits hundreds of times while cleaning up the hall. One of my favorite ending songs ever. And yes, it's played a little faster than normal on this video.

takes me into a time forever missed, 1989 senior in high school , summer vacation, watching this in the theatre, and sun setting fun filled days

Lethal Weapon 2 is a super film, love the music and the songs in the film. This song, Cheer Down by George Harrison rules!, George Harrison and Tom Petty wrote this song, I salute you both, you both are great musicians and songs writers.

Rest in peace George Harrison

The song fit well for many ways: -The background of the dark dawn sky, with tinges of green peeking from the gray -The song shows the sadness behind the madness of Riggs -It may describe how Riggs lost everything and the next woman who meets him will love him despite his shortcomings....and that he should take it easy and not be so neurotic. Hence, "cheer down."

Idk why but when the credits start it’s a great feeling. I think it’s cause it’s the best lethal weapon. Good song too that fits it

"Cheer Down" - George Harrison

"Diplomatic immunityyy!" BANG! "It's just been revoked!"

How lucky were the producers of Leathal Weapon 2 to have George Harrison allow them to play this masterpiece at the end of their movie!

Lethal Weapon 2 was a good movie and all but I swear...this end credits sequence with the George Harrison song just fucking made it for me. I absolutely love this part!

RIP George. Such an underrated song

great song,great movie,great duo team with no "cgi only". Why cant these kind of movies be popular no more?? Even in 2015...this still never get old for me.

RIP Richard Donner, my childhood is gone

We miss You George Harrison

Rest In Eternal Peace : Derrick O'Connor (1941 - 2019).

I like how timeless this songs really is, when you think about it. So many '80s action/comedy movies would end with music, most of which sounds dated today or "stereotypically '80s". This one really stands the test of time. It doesn't sound '80s, or anything really, it's just an awesome song and the perfect end to an awesome movie. I think I need to watch this tonight...

R .I P George Harrison

I'm 27 years old and I love this song, better than half the s**t that's around now.

Cheer Down by George Harrison I can see by your grin That you're trembling within It's all over town, cheer down And the smile on your face Is sometimes out of place Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down. To be continued

Great ending to a Great sequel! I always love a good song over the credits of classics!!!

Big fan of George Harrison.

@TurgeonFan77132 It should also be noted that the only reason this song is featured in this film to begin with is due to George's friendship with Eric Clapton. Clapton had requested some songs from Harrison in late 89 to help pad out his "Journeyman" LP. Harrison sent him over a tape containing "Cheer Down", "Run So Far" and "That Kind Of Woman" and told Clapton to select a song for his album. Clapton selected "Run So Far" but apparently thought much of "Cheer Down" that it was included here.

brillant finale to a true great, saw this film at the abc cinema in Edinburgh six times, from time to time you will see film that just kicks butt, LW2 is such a fine example. God bless you Mr Donner.

this is the best lethal ending song.best lethal opening song was lethal weapon 3.fitting isnt it

Even my untrained ears to western music can enjoy this song from the core of my heart ! What a lyric what a melody !

They don't make movies like this anymore... 😞

George Harrison named this song from his wife who use to say when he got too excited,,,, "cheer down George,,cheer down"

This song takes me back to Astoria, Queens on Steinway Street Cinéma in 1989. What great memories. I saw Lethal Weapon 2 back then. The nostalgia just kills you.

What a great movie stayed up alone to watch it on Easter 2020 today. Never saw it in its entirety before. Great action, good plot, gorgeous girl, great closing song. In 1989 I was in 10th grade, I'm feeling nostalgic tonight.

Saw the movie a few times years ago. Talking to my cousin after the movie went off. Never really listen to the song until my cousin said something. When your teeth drop out.😂

The good ol' 80'ties....god how i miss them, growing up a teenager in those times i remember my first kiss, my first erhm...yeah, the music of that era, the F*CKED UP fashion and just about everything great....

Absolutely! "Hauntingly beautiful". This glued me to my seat at the end of the movie, instead of leaving. What a mind blowing, beautiful way to end this movie.

Still a great track after all these years.

Still remember how it was when I first watched this ending scene - holding my breath every 2 seconds fearing that he would still die, my heart pounding throughout the whole time - and then finally hearing Harrison's voice and realizing that it's a happy end. The best happy end ever, if you ask me.

cos of this song, playing Cheer Down while cruising at dawn feels sublime.

Indeed it was an incredible year at the movies! I was six years old but I actually saw Batman, Ghostbusters 2, Lethal Weapon 2, Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, and License To Kill all in the theater! My parents were cool.....they took me along to movies regardless if it was rated R. lol!

Fuckin' good movie. I miss that days, these kind of movies, not the crap of today.

Brilliant song 🎵 George Harrison 👏 👌 👍 ❤

I always loved this song. I didn't even know it was from one of my favourite musicians until a couple months ago.

George Harrison. Always my favorite of the beatles!

I've been looking for the name of this song since i saw the movie! Thanks for posting!!

RIP Derrick O' Connor

RIP Richard Donner 🙏😥

Great track. Great view of L.A at dawn.

great song fits the film very well

Amazing song for a one off movie track

One of the best closing sequences ever made. Dave Stang, director, "BLACKLITE2017 Full movie"

Lovely this track by George Harrison 'Cheer down 👍

what a great set of movies.i love all of them.thanks Mel and Danny and the gang.

I worked in a movie theatre that summer/fall that played second-run movies and always enjoyed hearing this at the end.

The most beautiful saga ever made i'm 26 years old and since 8 years old i've seen those movies again and again.......................love it................fucking 80's the best for movies

First heard this song in the theatre, loved it then and there

One of the best songs for movie ending credits and from George Harrison this deserve to be a great hit like Got my mind set on you it's a happy and sad song at the same time and Lethal Weapon 2 Is a great movie too

brilliant song diplomaticccccccccc immunityyyyyyyyyyyyyyy best lethal weapon for me :)

This was the moment I became a George Harrison fan. What a great song. All things must pass....Except for George's music!

still a classic

i met mel gibson at moon shadows he bought me a beer he is a real nice guy!!

Too bad there will never be movies as awesome as the Lethal Weapon movies again. The 80's and 90's were truly the golden age for movies and music.

I agree. What a year. Lethal Weapon 2, was a brilliant sequel, Batman started off the comic book franchise films (again) And we come to The Abyss and License To Kill. Both films performed below expectations, with some cynics claiming that Licence To Kill nearly killed off the Bond franchise. However here we are 23 years later and both films have stood the test of time, The Abyss is now hailed as a classic and License To Kill is now the misunderstood masterpiece that it always was. Thanks Craig.

Port of Long Beach and the Vincent Thomas bridge. I was just in Long Beach, Ca last week and I was looking at the bridge and thinking of this song.

What a sunrise. Watching it on blu-ray with proper color, what a sky... looks like heaven.

I love this song, sometimes I imagine Roy Orbison singing it, often wondering what his vers would of been like.

I saw Lethal Weapon 2 Seven times at the point cinema in Milton Keynes. And my Dad saw Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior in Oxford on Its first release in Oxford. Awsome. We love Cheer Down. Cool

I am on vacation this week so it’s time to cheer down.

El mejor final de creditos de la saga!

George Harrison R.I.P.

super song!!! thanks for upload this!!! good job

True story: My parents and I rented this from the library when I was 13 (Yes the library and it was a free checkout, too) not knowing what was in it, only knowing it's a Lethal Weapon movie so expect some action and thrills. We're all on the couch, sitting there watching the movie and then it gets to the sex scene and Patsy Kensit's breasts and well...that was extremely awkward.

I love this movie

Best closing credits music ever! (cheer down means, calm down)

I'm glad they asked George Harrison sing this song

George is always awesome !!!

the song is terrific , the movie is beautiful , the singer him self is great , wow so happy to watch all parts of lethal weapon ^_^

the way the two guitars play back and forth throughout the song (especially in the end solo) represents two friends talking, like how riggs and murtaugh are talking in the final scene

Awesome song. Gotta love George Harrison!

I miss the 80s.

best song ever ending a movie.

"Okay, cheer down, big fellow,"

The title of the song is attributed to harrisons wife "olivia" who would tell her husband, "Okay, cheer down, big fellow" when he became too enthusiastic.[ "Cheer Down" was among the four compositions that Harrison offered to eric clapton for inclusion on the latter's album journeyman. Clapton instead decided to use it for the soundtrack to the film lethal weapon 2 in which he had been commissioned to supply, but he persuaded Harrison to contribute his own recording for inclusion in the film.

Great film! Great Soundtrack! Great -- Period!!!

Great film and soundtrack. Chill down

At the beginning of this clip, this was actually going to be the original ending to LW2. No voice overs, nothing. It was supposed to have been that Riggs was gunned down in the line of duty and succumbed to his wounds as Murtargh was holding his lifeless body on his legs. However, at the last minute, Richard Donner felt he had another LW film in him to film and he changed it so that Riggs survived (barely) from his wounds, and he had Mel and Danny re-record some adlib lines.

LOL those last couple of lines in the movie were a true classic

great song , RIP George

Unbelivably great song...and love the little cameo from jeff at 3.30...he just couldnt resist!!!..;)

Great movie and soundtrack.

this makes the ending good,shows everything will be okay,cuz mel gibson my idol if he died it would of broken my heart

What a film!!!!!!! Oh my good!!! And what a music!!! Love this film!!! Love from #Romania!

Movies made as they should be. Always.

Big fan of George Harrison
