Summary: For What It Is, Samuel And Emillio Are Sure Having Fun!
Review: LOADED WEAPON is one of those movies that is a farce and a comedy potpourri of celebrities and one-time bits. I personally love this kind of humor. It has a limited plot but the rode the characters go to get there is hysterical.This came out in 1993 and this is one of the better-priced DVD'S out there. If you like Airplane, Top Secret, the Naked Guns films you love looking at this one. Starring Emillio Esteves and Samuel L. Jackson as two Police Officers who must solve the murder of Whoopie Goldberg .... Make no sense? See the movie and it will all make sense. Bruce Willis, Larry Wilcox, Eric Estrada, Alison Beasley and Charlie Sheen also make appearances. My favorite cameo is James Doohan - the ever-popular Scotty of Star Trek. There are not a lot of DVD extras, but it was the film and price that brought me to it. If you like to laugh, you'll like this one. The cameo's alone are worth it. ...

Summary: "Good Irv, that means it's working."
Review: Make that 3.5 Stars. Now this isn't the perfect spoof movie (It's no Airplane or Naked Gun) but it does have it's moments and a cast that almost always succeeds in being funny. Samuel Jackson and Emilio Estevez play detective/partners Lugar and Colt (Yes, they're names of guns) in this send up of "Lethal Weapon" (Duh). It also finds time to make fun of films like "Silence of the Lambs", "Basic Instinct",and "Wayne's World", among others. If you have never seen Samuel Jackson in a comedic perfomance - you're missing something. Also, if you've never seen Samuel Jackson headbanging to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" while driving, then you are really missing something. Jackson basically plays straight man to Emilio's psycho. William Shatner steals his scenes as the Detective's arch nemesis, General Mortars. Look for the scene where Shatner and Curry pay Mike (Leary) a visit after they find out he's a snitch. Shatner dunks his head into a tank of vicious pirahna and comes out with one in his mouth - Priceless! Also look for a hilarious cameo by Bruce Willis, when the bad guys accidentally blow up his home instead of Colt's. "Yeah, no problem, no problem!" Other cast and cameos you will laugh it: Tim "Where is the Meecrofilm?" Curry, Jon "money laundry" Lovitz, Kathy "Miss Demeanor" Ireland, Lance "Dry itchy scalp" Kinsey (Proctor, from Police Academy), F. "It means I'm pretentious" Murray Abraham, Denis "You really got me" Leary, Phil "Stand up cop" Hartman, Whoopi "No, no, I'll beg now" Goldberg, Dr. Joyce "This loser took the chicken sh-t way out" Brothers, James "I'm giving her all she's got, Captain" Doohan, Cory "It was me, Sarge" Feldman, Richard "To the right, right!" Moll (Bull from Night Court), Erik "Ponch" Estrada and Larry "John" Wilcox from "CHiPs", and Charlie "the valet" Sheen, who says to Lugar (Jackson) in response to his tip for his valet services, "Got anything smaller?" Lugar: "Keep it." Valet: "Got anything larger?" Lugar: "Yeah." More funny dialogue? Ok: General Motors: Sea Monkeys? Mike: Pirahna. GM: Their lives exude a beautiful simplicity; savage, ruthless; existing only to devour and destroy; to taste blood; to rend flesh. Sounds like me right? Lugar: What do you have, Irv? Irv: Oh, I'm not sure Sarge. It's a nagging, itching, burning sensation. Lugar: What the hell do you expect? Your foots on fire. Lugar: Coffee Ted? Doris Lugar: Ted is from a disfunctional family. Lugar: Oh, so no coffee.

Summary: Don't worry kids, we'll take good care of your bikes....BOOM
Review: Man oh man is this a funny movie. Some of the jokes are a little flat, but this movie will definitely get most people laughing. The DVD is pretty impressive, you wouldn't think a comedy like this would have such nice picture and sound quality. Movies like The Naked Gun have far worse quality. But it sure is great to see Samuel Jackson in a goofball role when all you see him in now are serious roles. The scene where they take the kids bikes is definitely my favorite. Look for lots of cameos also.

Summary: An Underrated National Lampoon Film
Review: Many critics have reviewed this film as being a disgrace to the National Lampoon name. How can they claim that? All National Lampoon films are based on slapstick humor, and most are spoofs on other serious films. Loaded Weapon 1 is no different, taking off of Mel Gibson and Danny Glovers' rolls in Lethal Weapon 1 & 2. There is even a take off from a famous Silence Of The Lambs scene with F. Murray Abraham as Dr. Leacher. With all the spoof and slapstick moments, the requirements for a National Lampoon film are definitely met with this hilarious, underrated comedy. Emilio Estevez is Jack Colt, a trigger happy, individual who has it out for everyone since the dog napping of his Golden Retriever. Colt's soon to be partner, Wes Lugar, is played by Samuel L. Jackson, who's about to retire from the force. The two become partners when Sergeant York (Whoopi Goldberg), is murdered. Tim Curry is hysterical in this scene as the Wilderness Girl murderer. From there the plot thickens with numerous take offs from famous films, guaranteed to crack you up. To say the least this is one of the funniest National Lampoon films to date. It may also be one of the best slapstick/spoof films as well. Don't believe the critics when they say Loaded Weapon 1 is one of the worst Nation Lampoon productions. Go rent it and see for yourself . If you are a true lover of spoof comedies or slapstick in general, this film will be extremely enjoyable and possibly a favorite.

Summary: Hilarious spoof, sharp, witty, and full of subtle gags!!!!
Review: Not since the initial spoof of 'Airplane!' in 1979, has such a film demonstrated an uncanny ability to express humorous emotions which titilate the senses until the abdomen feels as taut as a german strusel. This film conveys a hidden message, one of the price of insolence and disobedience to the rightful laws. Shatner, the antagonist, gives a thought provoking, and surprisingly cruel, yet hilarious performance as General Morters. Estevez, the co-protagonist embarks on a spiritual journey, through emotions and the coping with the tragic loss of his beloved Clara. Not since 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' have special effects been so detailed, and rich. The acting was superb, and rivaling that of 'Where the Boys Aren't VIII'. Overall, this film amazed, and shocked me, and kept me engrossed in each rich, and lavish scene. The cast was chopped full of 1st rate actors in oscar deserving performances. Kathy Ireland shines as Destiny Demeanor with her hair let loose. Never have we been so inspired by a film since Citizen Kane, the 2nd best movie of all time. I cried when Jon Lovetz died, and at the sight of Tim Curry in a girl scout uniform. The only inquisitive statement I leave you with is, 'Meecro filme?' I bid you adieu, and tip my hat to the production, may it dictate all films to come ranging from horror, to comedy, to romance, and beyond.

Summary: Not Bad...Not Bad at All
Review: Not the greatest movie I've ever seen...but Tim's performance saves it. Also, it has its funnier parts...though they're few and far between.
I was overjoyed when Tim's character came back to life...I thought: Finally, a movie he's not going to die in!
But then the damn directors made a liar out of me and killed my poor little Englishman...life's so unfair!
But I digress, if you're into slapstick comedy rather than word of mouth comedy, I recommend this movie.
You'll enjoy it, but I doubt you'll actually rent it a second time.

Summary: Why do I make myself watch these films?
Review: OK, I enjoyed this, but its not the kind of film I would watch again. Having not seen Lethal Weapon, most of this film went straight over my head. It also gets a lower mark for the severe lack of extras on it. OK, so some DVDs don't have a lot of extras, but I like even a theatrical trailer to give me some insight into the film before watching it! It's also very short, only 73 minutes, when the credits appear. When Whoopi Goldberg & Tim Curry appeared, this lit up, and I figured this film would be worth my while watching. But it's another one of those films where you play spot the star/film. And having just watched one of those (Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back), it does get tiresome. But I had fun. This film spoofs obviously Lethal Weapon, & Silence Of The Lambs, but also Basic Instinct, Speed, Die Hard, & Wayne's World, were the ones I managed to spot. Also turning up was Engineer Scotty from Star Trek (James Doohan), the cop from Sister Act 2, Charlie Sheen, William Shatner, Erik Estrada from CHiPs, Jon Lovitz (who I know from Friends), and also Bruce Willis. OK, I can't get anyone to confirm this, and his name didn't appear in the credits, but isn't it him? My dad says it's a very good look-a-like - come on, no one's that good! The funny bits are few & far between. The bits I did find funny are in the convenience store at the beginning (CCTV camera, and leaflets from the magazines), and the answering machine with Whoopi Goldberg. This is a guy's film - I groaned extremely loudly, at the spoof of Basic Instinct, and the beaver shot.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious!! Wish They'd Make a Sequel!
Review: One of the best comedies of the '90's. Did not get the credit it deserved because there were a lot of these types of comedies out during the early '90's. This one stands out. Emilio Estevez is great as a psycho-cop, and Samuel Jackson steals the show with his dead-pan humor. William Shatner is delightfully evil, and Kathy Ireland is very nice window dressing. Get it now!!
