{{Main|Lethal Weapon (soundtrack)}}
[[Michael Kamen]], who just completed work on ''[[Highlander (film)|Highlander]]'', composed the score for ''Lethal Weapon''. Editor [[Stuart Baird]] had used ''[[Edge of Darkness]]'' heavily as a temp score for the film, resulting in Kamen being brought on to create the score.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/Film_Score_Monthly_Volume_01_Issue_61_1995_09_Vineyard_Haven_US/page/n14/mode/1up | title=Film Score Monthly - Volume 01 Issue 61 (1995-09)(Vineyard Haven)(US) | date=September 1995}}</ref> The guitar part of Riggs's theme was performed by [[Eric Clapton]]. Kamen and Clapton had worked together on the music for the 1985 [[BBC]] television series ''[[Edge of Darkness]]'' (the [[Edge of Darkness (2010 film)|feature adaptation]] of which would later, by coincidence, star Mel Gibson). The saxophone part of Murtaugh's theme was performed by [[David Sanborn]]. The [[Christmas song]] "[[Jingle Bell Rock]]", performed by [[Bobby Helms]], is played during the film's opening credits. [[Honeymoon Suite]]'s song, "Lethal Weapon", is played during the film's end credits without being credited.
