Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Stopped at the Bounce channel while surfin'. Ended up catching 3/4 of one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. The whole cast works well together and the writing helps keep the laughs nonstop. Surprisingly there's some continuity by keeping previous sub-plots alive and updated, example: Claire the dog. All in all a good funny story. National Lampoon movies are great at this.

By no means the best of its subgenre, but when you feel like switching on a film that will require no thinking whatsoever, it will help you pass 80 minutes easily enough. Most of the gags are familiar, but I did laugh at certain points. It never really tops its opening sequence, a spot-on parody of convenience store shootouts, although my single favorite line comes later: "Quid pro quo, Mr. Colt" - "What the hell does that mean?" - "It means I'm pretentious!". ** out of 4

Well first of all I was gonna maybe include the pants, fig thing somewhere but someone already did so...damn. Anyway I kinda grew up watching and really loving this movie so I guess it has a special place in my heart unlike most. As far as spoof movies I think it's right up there with the likes of Hot Shots and Men in Tights but probably not quite as funny as The Naked Gun series or Airplane. I consider myself a connoisseur of fine films of the gag or "spoof" genre and although LW1 may not be for everyone to me it's like a fine wine, it only gets better with time...and some wilderness girl cookies of course (kinda Jonesin') if you appreciate good spoof movies then you should enjoy this little wonder. It's packed with cameos from some big stars and some great comedians in ridiculous situations that will surely result in laughter. Oh and by the way look for Denise Richards in the scene where Denis Leary is playing the piano, pretty funny. Well i hope you give this flick a chance and i really hope you enjoy it. If you do tell em Matt sent you (optional).

Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez) is on the edge police detective with nothing to lose. Although Colt is depressed, since the love of his life disappear. Wes Luger (Samuel L. Jackson) is by the book detective, who's also a family man. Colt and Luger are teamed together, since Luger's ex-partner (Oscar-Winner:Whoopi Goldberg) seemingly died of suicide but Luger knows that his ex-partner was up to something. They discover that Luger's ex-partner uncover a sinister plot about drug-laced Wilderness Girl Cookies. Two bad guys (William Shatner and Tim Curry), who are in charged of these cocaine laced cookies. They make sure that Colt and Luger doesn't stand in their way.Directed by Gene Quintano (Funky Monkey, Hollywood Academy, Why Me?) made an amusing comedic spoof of action cop genres. The cast are surprisingly engaging with some surprise cameos. But the script isn't great (Co-written by the director) and Estevez seems out of place with this genre. But at least, it has some laugh-out moments. It was only a modest success in theaters but went on to be a cult favorite on video.DVD has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has the original theatrical trailer and cast & crew information. Probably the most amusing thing is watching this movie now is Seeing Samuel L. Jackson in a comedic role. Since this is a tradition of Airplane! and The Naked Gun Series. "Loaded Weapon 1" is a mildly diversion only, nothing more. Alternate Version exists with 10 minutes of additional footage but only for television. (*** 1/2 out of *****).
