Trivia

There was every intention to make Loaded Weapon 2. A deal had been set in place before this movie had gone into production and a poster had even been printed with the caption "Oh come ON, you knew it was coming!" However when the movie underperformed the deal was severed. See more »

Goofs

When Colt is standing in the sea, smoking, the water is lapping at his knees. When he walks back onto dry land, his legs are totally dry from the ankle up, except for a small damp patch on one knee. See more »

Stupid, yet funny
5 October 2004 | by (Norberg, Sweden) – See all my reviews

As several others have pointed out - this is not a very good film. However, it's still pretty darn funny. It's a B-version spoof film, but I still laughed more than on average.

When you don't have terribly gifted writers and/or actors you have to rely on throwing in as many jokes as possible in order to try and get more laughs. And a surprising amount of them are actually very funny (albeit extremely silly, and stupid).

Favourite bit: when Estevez and Jackson are driving in their car and suddenly realize they're being followed - by two guys wearing ski masks, sitting in the backseat of the car.

If you know what you're getting yourself into, Loaded Weapon is an underrated little gem. If nothing else, it's fun to see Sam L. Jackson before he became a "serious" actor. [7/10]
