8/08: National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 is a painful movie to watch.

Comedy isn't the goal. It's everybody's quest of making me want to die as soon as possible. Many of these failed jokes seem to have been made up by man-children who think fart sounds are funny as hell.

I can't decide whether National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 is a remake or a spoof of the Lethal Weapon franchise. Meanwhile, Emilio Estevez should be embarrassed of himself for sporting a ridiculous-looking hairdo. Because the film didn't make enough money, plans for a sequel were canceled even though there was a poster with the tagline: "Oh come ON, you knew it was coming!" Uh, not really.

All in all, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 is a dud.

7/21: After watching the first three parts of Lethal Weapon, I thought I would check out National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 again.

The good news is I'm raising my rating from '1' to '2', and the bad news is the movie sucks so much. It appears everybody doesn't know the definition of comedy. Forget the star-studded cast; everybody is hopeless. I thought I would see a marathon of Lethal Weapon spoofs, yet there's hardly any. Instead, I'm given a bunch of references to Cobra, The Silence of the Lambs, Basic Instinct, Dirty Harry, and Wayne's World, among others. Um, why?

All in all, the joke is on the people behind National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 as plans to make a sequel never happened.
