Máquina Quase Mortífera

I'm a big fan of stupid humor and when I saw this movie. I thought it was one of the funniest comedies of the 90's. Samuel L. Jackson was the best. When he's behind the woman and looking at her with a very funny face was too funny. and the silence of the lambs parody was done very well. And when Jackson is on the pot taking a dump and telling Emilio was way too funny. I could never get sick of watching this film.

Back in the 80's and 90's spoofs were good. Airplane, the Naked Guns, the various Lampoons were all cool. Now the spoofs are all vulgar and tasteless.

Loaded Weapon 1's primary material is Lethal Weapon. The two stars: Colt (Estevez) and Luger (Jackson) are supposed to be Riggs and Murtaugh. But like most spoofs they interwove other cop classics from the time: Basic Instinct and Silence of the Lambs.

The jokes are silly, some of them are run ons but that's what you expect. If we could only return to the era of good satires.

After watching this movie for an umpteen number of times, the gags have run a bit dry, but I remember first seeing it and I could not stop laughing. The cast is full of grade A celebrities, including Sam Jackson before he really hit big. There are some classic gags. It's all done very low-brow, but in a way that had me rolling with laughter. Go see it! You'll have a great time!

My score: 8 (out of 10)

This isn't Airplane!, The Man With Two Brains, , or any number of classic slapsticks, but it is up there, and it is funny. While it has its slow times, it still manages to make you laugh. Great one liners, and wonderful acting make it a solid and worthy buy. Everytime you watch it, you will find yet another smart-ass, sarcastic reply, an offbeat joke or an obscure parody. Loaded Weapon 1 hits and for 90% of the time doesn't miss. It honestly doesn't get enough credit.

Another offering from National Lampoon, this time a mock-up of the classic Lethal Weapon series. Amusingly, they're not the only victims of parody here. Wayne's World, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Basic Instinct, Chips, Silence Of The Lambs and several others have been incorporated into this wildly hilarious (loosely used term) collage of moments. Obviously, not to be taken seriously and only recommended if you're not expecting a movie that offers a deep-dwelling plot. But it's totally for you if you're into a belly-laugh or two. Samuel L. Jackson's performance is laudable and so is co-star's Emilio Estevez. There are countless cameos by many Hollywood stars and all seem to make the movie a little more entertaining in their own typical way. Definitley worth a rent...
