Now this is more like it for a NATIONAL LAMPOON film: LOADED WEAPON 1 is a great and affectionate spoof of the movies that takes the LETHAL WEAPON franchise as its main inspiration. It has plenty in common with Leslie Nielsen's NAKED GUN films, with a scattershot approach providing plenty of laughs, a lot of them obvious, a lot of them surreal, many of them relying on cameo appearances for effect.Emilio Estevez plays a maverick cop, clearly modelled on Mel Gibson's Riggs, while Samuel L. Jackson gives a stand-out performance as a retiring cop modelled on Danny Glover's Murtaugh. They're involved in a storyline involving over-the-top cocaine smugglers Tim Curry and William Shatner, and there are hundreds of gags packed into a slender running time. If you're a fan of HOT SHOTS et al then this is the film for you.And I'm still getting over those endless cameos. Bruce Willis is the best and most unexpected one, but watch out for the likes of Corey Feldman, Whoopi Goldberg, Charlie Sheen, Erik Estrada, Paul Gleason, and many, many others making unexpected and welcome appearances. This is probably the best film for cameos that I can think of.

Loaded Weapon 1 was really the original spoof movie before we got into movies like Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, etc. This is really a break out comedy performance for Emilio Estevez, who portrays a Mel Gibson sort of character in this spoof. Alongside him is Samuel L. Jackson, who is the equivalent to Danny Glover. All in all this film has a ton of celebrity cameos from Dennis Leary to Phil Hartman to even Corey Feldman. Also starring alongside as the main villains are Will Shatner and Tim Curry. The funniest character of the film is entirely Jon Lovitz. He was definitely a scene stealer in this one, even though the jokes seemed sort of unfunny. So check out this Lampoon flick. It may not be as good as Animal House and Vacation, but it's worth a try.
