5/10
Typical child of the 90s
24 April 2011
"Naked Gun"-style parodies were everywhere in the early 90s, "Loaded Weapon 1" is just one of the many. It's not really the funniest of the batch either, but it does have some trademark moments that define why the whole genre was so popular for a month or so. It's a typical hit-or-miss kind of thing, some stuff makes you laugh and some stuff makes you wonder why you're not going outside. There's really only one element in this movie that's consistently funny and unsurprisingly, that's Samuel L. Jackson. The guy just gives any movie he's in a necessary dosage of class, even if it is a poor man's "Hot Shots!". There are also some fun cameos added, but not a lot is done with them. They just go for the "hey look it's Bruce Willis"-factor, which only works up to a certain level. "Loaded Weapon 1" is a fun 90s spoof (they're all fun), but nothing special.
