a5c7b9f00b In this parody of buddy-cop comedies, General Curtis Mortars and Mr. Jigsaw are lacing Wilderness Girls cookies with cocaine. It's up to Sergeants Jack Colt and Wes Luger, as well as Billy York informant Becker, to put a stop to this. An LA detective is murdered because she has microfilm with the recipe to make cocaine cookies. A "Lethal Weapon" style cop team tries to find and stop the fiends before they can dope the nation by distributing their wares via the "Wilderness Girls" cookie drive. I am glad my fellow reviewers (some of them) also found this movie enjoyable. It was silly at times but never insulting and the large cast helps greatly. Of particular interest is cameos by Erik Estrada, Dr. Joyce Brothers and Bill Nunn. Even Kathy Ireland manages to be funny! Its not the Marx Brothers or "Some Like it Hot", but for what it is, I liked it a lot. Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez) is on the edge police detective with nothing to lose. Although Colt is depressed, since the love of his life disappear. Wes Luger (Samuel L. Jackson) is by the book detective, who's also a family man. Colt and Luger are teamed together, since Luger's ex-partner (Oscar-Winner:Whoopi Goldberg) seemingly died of suicide but Luger knows that his ex-partner was up to something. They discover that Luger's ex-partner uncover a sinister plot about drug-laced Wilderness Girl Cookies. Two bad guys (William Shatner and Tim Curry), who are in charged of these cocaine laced cookies. They make sure that Colt and Luger doesn't stand in their way.<br/><br/>Directed by Gene Quintano (Funky Monkey, Hollywood Academy, Why Me?) made an amusing comedic spoof of action cop genres. The cast are surprisingly engaging with some surprise cameos. But the script isn't great (Co-written by the director) and Estevez seems out of place with this genre. But at least, it has some laugh-out moments. It was only a modest success in theaters but went on to be a cult favorite on video.<br/><br/>DVD has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has the original theatrical trailer and cast & crew information. Probably the most amusing thing is watching this movie now is Seeing Samuel L. Jackson in a comedic role. Since this is a tradition of Airplane! and The Naked Gun Series. "Loaded Weapon 1" is a mildly diversion only, nothing more. Alternate Version exists with 10 minutes of additional footage but only for television. (*** 1/2 out of *****). The 1 is just a joke, as in "Naked Gun 33 1/3". It's not really the 33rd film, it's just a sequel joke. A second film was intended, which would have been part of the joke, but it was canceled due to poor box office.
