NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

videorama-759-859391 Why there wasn't a sequel to this, I'll be buggered. When I went to see this, was the last time I was ushered into a seat, the cinema was that full. I remember that happening with the first Police Academy. Gone are those days. How funny is this movie? If I'll be blunt, I'm afraid to hypothesize, I laughed that much, and this happens every time I watch it. Probably on average, 12-15 laughs per minute. Hows the casting of Jackson and Estevez? Perfect. Estevez's own take on the Marty Riggs character, I really liked. It was good to see him in this, where again, Jackson, a straight down the line cop, was solid as he is always, both the character's surnames named after guns. There are so many actors with small parts in this, I'm not even gonna start. Well I will, as we our Chips duo, and Corey Feldman as a rookie cop, Paul Gleason as the cop in the first Die Hard, and yeah Bruce Willis's John Mclaine. This movie sends up other movies like Silence Of The Lambs and the Sharon Stone interrogation scene in Basic Instinct which is a hoot here. The writers really have to be commended for this one, where they've really brought something, infectiously funny all through, where the plot too is original. There's a missing microfilm. A cop is killed cause of it, because it contains a secret cookie recipe, a facade, as it's really cocaine inside. William Shatner as the dastardly chief baddie is hardly recognizable. It's the best acting I've seen from the guy, while I liked Dennis Leary as a playboy type, who disposed of permanently here. This film too features some actors in the "great actor status" you wouldn't expect to be in this. This is another bucket list movie, you must see. It would of been great to see how a sequel to this, would of panned out.

Aaron1375 This one had Samuel L. Jackson in the Murtaugh role played by Danny Glover in the original series and Estevez in the Riggs role played by Mel Gibson, both do a relatively good job in this parody of that famous series. At this point there had been, I believe, three Lethal Weapon movies so there was plenty of things to spoof in this film though they did occasionally go outside that series for jokes most notable being a spoof on "Silence of the Lambs" that was funnier than most of the spoof of that movie "Silence of the Hams". This one follows the basic story of the Lethal weapon series combining and spoofing elements of all three movies at the time and of course having many b-list stars making cameo appearances like the cops from the television series Chips, Whoopie Goldberg and the funniest to me being William Shatner in the villain role. This would be the only film in this particular set of spoofs, but they really covered a lot of the first three movies so they would have been stretching it to make a sequel, that and I a do believe this movie did not do all that well at the box office to warrant a sequel. Still, it was a funny little spoof, not being really special like say Airplane, Top Secret, or Naked Gun as those had stand alone plots, but it managed to amuse like say the Scary movies did.

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

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
