Back in the Day with John and Jay
Episode 87: Loaded Weapon 1 (1993) // Criminally Underrated....perodt.
Join us as we revisit this criminally underrated gem that combines the best of buddy-cop action with laugh-out-loud comedy. Starring Emilio Estevez as the slick detective Jack Colt and Samuel L. Jackson as his reluctant partner Wes Luger, "Loaded Weapon 1" is a parody of the cop buddy movie genre that holds nothing back.
In this episode, we'll dissect the film's over-the-top action sequences, hilarious spoofs of iconic movie moments, and endless string of pop culture references. From Luger's pet hamster with a penchant for destruction to Colt's love affair with a talking gun, we'll explore the wacky world of this unconventional crime-fighting duo.
We'll also dive into the movie's impressive ensemble cast, including Jon Lovitz, Tim Curry, William Shatner, and more, all delivering punchlines and sight gags with impeccable timing. Plus, we'll talk about the movie's many nods to classic action films and the way it lovingly pokes fun at the tropes we all know and love.
