Good, but a bit of a let down.......2006-08-01

This is a very funny spoof of not just Naked Gun and Lethal Weapon, but every other movie in the genre. There's so many, I've even noticed a few that I missed the first few times I watched it.

I would have given it 4 stars, but the DVD is a let down for those who have seen the movie in theaters or on TV. Like too many others do when transfering to DVD, many scenes have been cut out. Often, these missing scenes are not missed, but with this movie, all of the parts are good ones and in some places, were essential to the movie making for some confusing lines later on.

Still, I think this is a very funny parody of action movies and is worth the time.

Heh, there's no Loaded Weapon 2.......2006-01-26

I'm really tired of critics trashing this movie, going so far as to say it's National Lampoon's worst. Have you seen what NL has been releasing? A big fan of NL, I rented a few of their recent movies, and the closest I got to laughing was during Gold Diggers, which was only kind of funny, but the best of the latest NL movies.
Anyway, Loaded Weapon 1 (a joke in itself) uses the ZAZ approach (you know, the guys who did Airplane! and The Naked Gun), parodying buddy cop movies, mostly the Lethal Weapons. Emilio Estevez is Colt, a loose cannon who leaves a mini-mart in shambles at the start (the highlight, in my opinion) and is obviously supposed to be Mel Gibson. Samuel L. Jackson is Luger, a by-the-book family man (cough, Danny Glover) who's paired with Colt to nab a drug czar (William Shatner) who is smuggling drugs through Wilderness Girl cookies, which gets Luger's old partner (Whoopi Goldberg) killed. Oh yeah, and Colt falls for Kathy Ireland, a babe who should always leave her hair down. Other Lethal Weapon references include Jon Lovitz (YES!) as the Joe Pesci/Leo Getz character, who appears to be dead many times but keeps showing up, Denis Leary has a cameo as someone like Michael Hunksacker in the first Lethal Weapon, and there's other great references, like Colt finding Luger on the toilet (LW 2), Luger yelling "Cigarette!" instead of gun like in LW 1, Colt having a dead dog instead of a wife, and so on.
This movie really is underappreciated. It mocks all the cop movies that are getting old with ease, and even though it's not up to par with Naked Gun or the other ZAZ tries (well, actually, "Mafia" and "Scary Movie 3" may conflict with that), it does what National Lampoon used to do: make us laugh.

VALIDATION.......2006-01-19

Another hilarious spoof. Who knew Samuel Jackson could do comedy? Jackson and Estevez are great together.

Awesome Spoof.......2005-11-21

National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 Is the most funiest movie i ever saw. It Makes Fun Of Cop Movies. It is really funny. Emilio & Samueal will knock your socks off with laughter.

Very funny.......2005-09-28

If you like this type of comedy where jokes are as visual as they are vocal (play on words, taking things litterally, and so on), then this is for you.
There aren't many movies like this nowadays...
I recommend you watch it before sleeping... that's a much better way to end your day (and start your night) than watching news about tragedies, war and so on... Enjoy!
