It's about time Hollywood lightened up. Introducing National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I, a spoof that takes aim, with hilarious results, at blockbusters from Lethal Weapon to Basic Instinct to Wayne's World. But viewer beware: This is Naked Gun humor at its corniest. [11 Feb 1993, p.F6]

There may not be a laugh every minute, but there are enough to satisfy most devotees of the relentlessly silly, tasteless school of parody.

On of the best moview of the gold era of parody.
It's not about jokes, it's about action movies of that time.

The problem isn't that some jokes fall flat; invariably that happens in this format. It's just that there are no big, hold-your-sides-till-they-hurt sequences. [5 Feb 1993]

Obviously, gags rather than plot are central to a movie like LOADED WEAPON, but even so, neither the writing nor the acting is strong enough here. Estevez and Jackson are adequate as deadpan actors who remain oblivious to the chaos around them, but they lack the super-straight persona that makes Leslie Nielsen so effective as a dimwitted cop in the NAKED GUN movies. Often the jokes seem to barely squeak over their heads when they should fly.

Even at the abbreviated length of 70 minutes (less feature than featurette), material so maniacal wears very thin very fast. [5 Feb 1993]

Wrong, wrong and wrong again; this Loaded Weapon fires only dumb-dumb bullets.

You don't need to watch National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I to understand what a sloppy comedy concoction it is; just listen. What you won't hear is laughter, even in a crowded movie theater. I haven't experienced such a silent audience for an alleged comedy since last year's horrid Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Dans la (lamentable) lignée des ‘Scary Movie’, voici un pastiche ou une sorte de caricature.. ou plutôt une (triste) débilité de mongolerie à golios qui concerne la série des films de l’Arme Fatale. Des films (déjà) à l’origine un peu cons, lesquels sont devenus de plus en plus cons au fil des épisodes (ils en ont commis 4 si ma mémoire est bonne… et c’était -déjà- 4 de trop, certes !). Aussi, afin de leur rendre hommage (sans doute), des blaireaux ont commis cette chose (c’est un délit de connerie, non ?), cette espèce de film de golios ****, ce paquet de merde géant bourré de gogols à faire mourir de honte notre Vidéogag national ! autant dire donc que ça ne vole pas haut mais plutôt carrément tout en bas pour s’écraser régulièrement tout au fond du caniveau ! Mais une alarme résonne déjà depuis un moment dans votre crâne : c’est l’alarme anti-golios ! si vous continuez de regarder ça, ce truc, cette saloperie, vous allez devenir complètement con et pire encore, vous finirez comme les idiots congénitaux consanguins et handicapés mentaux dégénérés. Voilà, c’est dit et c’est fait, putain.
