Summary: "Loaded Comedy Spoof with Estevez and Jackson"
Review: 'Hot Shots' and 'Airplane' were spoofs that became box office hits back in the 80's and 90's. "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I", which carries the tradition of Lethal Weapon and Naked Gun, tries to score with its 'loaded' comedy played out by an all-star cast, but goes middle-wise in laughs. Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez), who is a psychoed out-, washed-up cop and Wes Lugar (Samuel L. Jackson), a family man, are two cops who are on the trail of innocent Wilderness Girl cookies laced with cocaine by a drug dealing money-maker named General Motars (get it) (William Shatner). Helping Colt and Lugar out are dimwitted Becker (Jon Lovitz) and the seductive cookie-master Destiny Demeanor (Kathy Ireland). Look for appearences by Whoopi Goldberg, Charlie Sheen, Bruce Willis, F. Murray Abraham, Tim Curry and many others. I bet for you comedy fans alike (spoof or not) you might enjoy this one, But for 'Loaded Weapon I', I'd say it's a spoof in itself. 3 Arts Entertainment/New Line Cinema, 1993, Rated PG-13 for sexual dialogue, sensuality and some violence.

Summary: This weapon's loaded, all right...
Review: ...unfortunately, mostly with blanks! Being a big fan of action flicks, particularly the 'Lethal Weapon' series, I was hoping to get a few chuckles from the endless array of action-movie-cliche spoofs, deadpan dialogue with plenty of double-take-producing double-entendre & puns, and silly sight gags that would doubtlessly pop up in this genre parody. You know, kinda like the 'Naked Gun' flicks, but even more over-the-top. Only problem is, most of the gags fall flat, or were just plain dumb. Add Jon Lovitz (a poor man's Leo Getz) and William Shatner (the leader of the bad guys), two of Hollywood's most sure-fire movie-killers, and you'll be looking to UNload your weapon on the fools who came up with this nonsense!There are a few upsides, however. I thought Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson were the perfect choices for the leads (basically take-offs of LW's Mel Gibson & Danny Glover); they just didn't have a decent script to work off of. And it's good to see James "Scotty" Doohan finally get a bit of work outside the Trekkie convention circuit. But, other than these few bright spots, there's not much else to like about this subpar spoof. My advice: if you want to watch a decent action-movie satire, stick with the 'Naked Gun' series and 'Last Action Hero', and just forget about this mess! 'Late

Summary: A zany movie with some classic gags.
Review: Back in the late 80s and early 90s comedies used to be funny. Now a days everything is crude language and volgar bathroom humor that is not pleasing, and is offensive for a lot of moderatley conservative folks like myself. Even the latest National Lampoons films are mostly vulgar toilet humor and aren't that funny anymore. Loaded Weapon One was made in an era transitioning between being funny and being crude, the movie does have some toilet humor elements but its handled well, and its still a movie that relies on genuine silliness to entertain the viewer. A spoof of the Leathal Weapon series (and a few other movies that were popular at the time) the movie follows the classic parody formula with dim witted characters in absurdly silly situations. Many of the gags in this spoof movie were completely unique from other movies of this genre, I especially liked it when Emilio Esteves tripped over the subtitles. We need to go back to comodies along these lines, as modern comdey leaves something to be desired. If you are a comedy fan do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

Summary: Funny, "erm"... very funny! YES! ;o)
Review: Can't say more about this heavily ironic movie than WATCH it when you are drunken and would have fun for about one and a half hour. There are so much hidden jokes who makes this movie brilliant. I hope this review will make you, ... has made you curious enough to lend it for a funny afternoon. CU

Summary: A hilarious spoof of "Lethal Weapon"
Review: Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson are the Mel Gibson and Danny Glover of this film. There are spoof scenes from the Lethal Weapon trilogy and one from WAYNE'S WORLD. This filn was dircted by Gene Quintano who previously directed 1986's POLICE ACADEMY 3-Back In Training. This film reunites Quintano with Lance Kinsey. Kinsey was Lieutenant Proctor in many of the Police Academy sequels. Many people who have seen this film also saw THE BREAKFAST CLUB,THE MIGHTY DUCKS films,STAKEOUT,ANOTHER STAKEOUT(Estevez's other films),and PULP FICTION,one of Jackson's later films. Also many people who have seen this film also saw movies that Estevez's brother Charlie Sheen starred in.

Summary: Leslie Nelson type comedy
Review: Filled with sight gags and spoofs of other movies, including "Lethal Weapon", "Silence of the Lamb", and many others. Two policemen (Emilio Estevez, Samuel L. Jackson) try to stop thugs from sending Girl Scout cookies around with cocaine in them. Funny at sometimes, but get's old at some points. Also stars Jon Lovitz (who is hilarious as always), Tim Curry, Kathleen Ireland, William Shatner, Charlie Sheen, F. Murray Abraham, Denis Leary, Phil Hartman, Whoopi Goldberg, Corey Feldman, Larry Wilcox, and Charles Napier.

Summary: great
Review: funny movie with a allstar cast. this one is a rip off of man things like Lethal Weapon, Basic Instinct and basically Lethal Weapon. Whoopi is killed by Tim Curry and Samuel L. Jackson with his new ticking time bomb partner Emilio Estevez are on the case and it involves girl scout cookies. following an array of wacky characters like William Shatner, Phil Hartman, Corey Feldman, Denis Leary, Denise Lee Richards, Bill Nunn, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Charles Napier, Erik Estrada, Larry WilCox, Paul Gleeson, Jon Lovitz, Scotty from Star Trek, Kathy Ireland, J.T. Walsh, Charlie Sheen, F. Murray Abraham and a funny bit involving blowing up Bruce Willis' trailer home. wacky and fun

Summary: The evil twin of Lethal Weapon
Review: Great movie if you like older comedies where actual jokes replace constant sexual inuendo. Takes the comedy/action aspect of Lethal Weapon and spoofs it, making sure to shoot the Joe Pesci style character as much as Leon Getz truly deserves. When you need a movie to ignore the fact that you have 4 papers due for college the next day, this is the kind of spoof that really helps you out.

Summary: Get one before it's gone~!
Review: Hey, do you need to read this review? Go to the video section and just buy it. You will never regret it. It never got the recognition that it deserves. Even today, I plug this tape into my VCR for a pure 90 minute laugh. I could say that it's funnier than those Naked Gun series. Buy~!
