Supelice Dreadfully Boring

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

FilmBuff1994 Loaded Weapon 1 is a mediocre movie with a poorly written storyline that manages to be enjoyable because of a talented comedic cast. It definitely has some very good moments, Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson have great chemistry and played off each other very well, they were the right choice to parody Mel Gobson and Danny Glover's role in the Lethal Weapon series. There are also fun cameos throughout and some worthwhile film references, such as a scene from Silence of the Lambs and Wayne's World. The biggest flaw is that it relies very heavily on having each scene as a set up for parodying the popular films of this decade, that it never really tries to be its own film, there is a story here but it tends to get lost far too often, and all the loose ends are quickly wrapped up in the last five minutes. All the references to other movies are, for the most part, quite lame, they don't necessarily serve as satire on them, but almost a shot for shot remake of certain scenes, and when the most memorable moments are the nod they make to Basic Instinct or Dirty Harry, it makes you wonder that maybe you should have just watched those movies instead. It has its moments and is worth the watch if you have nothing better to do and need to kill some time, but for the most part, Loaded Weapon 1 never tries to be its own movie and relies on others for laughs, I wouldn't highly recommend it. A cop duo must put a stop to a cocaine ring looking to spread across the nation. Best Performance: Samuel L. Jackson

gcd70 It seems to be silly season on send-up and farce at the moment as National Lampoon present us with yet another satire. This time "Lethal Weapon" is the target, although other films (such as "Basic Instinct" and "Die Hard") are also in the firing line.Emelio Estevez, Samuel L. Jackson and the supporting cast are not much more than average, and humour is achieved a lot less than stupidity. Look for cameo's from Charlie Sheen, Bruce Willis and Whoopi Goldberg among others.A very short film which falls well below the consistent hilarity it needed.Saturday, April 3, 1993 - Video

Lucien Lessard Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez) is on the edge police detective with nothing to lose. Although Colt is depressed, since the love of his life disappear. Wes Luger (Samuel L. Jackson) is by the book detective, who's also a family man. Colt and Luger are teamed together, since Luger's ex-partner (Oscar-Winner:Whoopi Goldberg) seemingly died of suicide but Luger knows that his ex-partner was up to something. They discover that Luger's ex-partner uncover a sinister plot about drug-laced Wilderness Girl Cookies. Two bad guys (William Shatner and Tim Curry), who are in charged of these cocaine laced cookies. They make sure that Colt and Luger doesn't stand in their way.Directed by Gene Quintano (Funky Monkey, Hollywood Academy, Why Me?) made an amusing comedic spoof of action cop genres. The cast are surprisingly engaging with some surprise cameos. But the script isn't great (Co-written by the director) and Estevez seems out of place with this genre. But at least, it has some laugh-out moments. It was only a modest success in theaters but went on to be a cult favorite on video.DVD has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has the original theatrical trailer and cast & crew information. Probably the most amusing thing is watching this movie now is Seeing Samuel L. Jackson in a comedic role. Since this is a tradition of Airplane! and The Naked Gun Series. "Loaded Weapon 1" is a mildly diversion only, nothing more. Alternate Version exists with 10 minutes of additional footage but only for television. (*** 1/2 out of *****).

Paul Sweed first of all, ignore the fact that this film has "national lampoons" name on it. loaded weapon 1 is far better than all of the awful lampoons films.this is a spoof, through and through. the jokes are some of the most stupid i've ever seen, the acting seems to be quite deliberately bad (we all know that most of the principal players in this movie can act better), and even some big goofs and mistakes seem to have been left in. if you see these things and you think it's a bad movie because of them, you're missing the point. the film is intentionally bad, in the same way starship troopers was intentionally cheesy.so if you're in the mood for something that you don't have to take seriously (at all), this movie is just the thing. watch it once for all the obvious jokes, and then again to find all the jokes in the background (and there's loads of them).my favourite spoof of all time. 10/10
