    • Trivia
      Although this movie is called "Loaded Weapon 1", a sequel never happened. 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 this movie underperformed at the box-office, the deal was cancelled.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the film, Luger and Colt get into a car that has a magnetic police light on the right rear of the roof. As Colt opens his door, it catches the wire from the magnetic light and you can see it turn sideways and begin to slide across the car's roof.
    • Quotes

      Colt: Give me a name!

      Becker: Weren't your parents supposed to do that?

    • Alternate versions
      There are many scenes deleted from the rental version: Jack Colt dies and Wes Luger physically beats him into waking up. Jack Colt and Wes Luger get into a fight and fall from Tim Becker's apartment window. They fall in slow motion and the other cops in the building race to the bottom to see them land in the pool. One of them comments, "we never would have made it if they hadn't been falling in slow motion."

    Spoof Hits More Than It Misses

    This is a spoof of the Lethal Weapon movies, along with Basic Instinct, Silence Of The Lambs and a few other crime movies. It's pretty tame profanity-wise, but this spoof is no "family fare," that's for sure. It's also pretty darn funny.

    There are a lot of verbal and sight gags, cheap shots and sleazy comments, impossible to catch them all in one viewing. That's maybe the only negative: too many sex jokes which is why this is rated PG-13 (and could easily be "R"). Emilo Estavez, Samuel J. Jackson, Jon Lovitz, Tim Curry and William Shatner all show their comedic talents, as does supermodel Kathy Ireland.

    All-in-all, a fun 80 minutes, especially when you are familiar with all the movies they are making fun of in this film.
