...druthers, these places wouldn't even exist," says Free Willy's executive producer, Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon, Radio Flyer). "There are those who'll argue the aquatic parks are like zoos, that they teach children and others about animals. But I'm against zoos too." Donner's wife, Lauren Shuler-Donner, who co-produced the movie, says, "We didn't set out to make a movie condemning aquatic parks. We set out to make a movie about a boy and a whale and family and friendship and freedom. But personally, I've never liked zoos, seaquariums or even birds...

The Making of the Atomic Bomb traced the thin line between creative genius and mindless annihilation...
That first movie raised the craft of torture to a low art. Expect no less in LW2, directed by Richard Donner and written by Jeffrey Boam. This installment features a surfboard decapitation, death by carpenter's nail gun, a bomb wired to a very sensitive seat (plot device lifted from Elmore Leonard's novel Freaky Deaky), and reduction of the Afrikaaner diaspora by about one-half. As Riggs tells Murtaugh, "We're back! We're bad! You're black! I'm mad!" Mad to the max. Riggs may not know how to spell apartheid, but he knows whom he hates...
