Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)

Easygoing comedy, just fine when you are in an undemanding mood

[6/10 · 27 July 2017]

By no means the best of its subgenre, but when you feel like switching on a film that will require no thinking whatsoever, it will help you pass 80 minutes easily enough. Most of the gags are familiar, but I did laugh at certain points. It never really tops its opening sequence, a spot-on parody of convenience store shootouts, although my single favorite line comes later: "Quid pro quo, Mr. Colt" - "What the hell does that mean?" - "It means I'm pretentious!". ** out of 4
