Loaded Weapon 1 is a spoof film (in the spirit of The Naked Gun) of police/buddy movies of the 1980s and 1990s, notably the films in the Lethal Weapon series. It also has scenes mocking First Blood, Dirty Harry, Die Hard, Basic Instinct, and other films. A sequel was initially planned (with the tagline: "Oh, come on! You KNEW it was coming!") but was cancelled after this film's poor box office reception.
LAPD Sgt. Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez) carries a Beretta 92FS, drawing it in almost every scene of the film. Anytime he is shown drawing the weapon, the sound of a slide being pulled is played to mock other action films.

The hoodlums having the "domestic dispute" fire an Uzi at the police below when Luger tells them to "drop their hands and come out with their weapons up". Jigsaw (Tim Curry) is seen later firing an Uzi at Colt and Luger inside the cocaine cookie factory. In a deleted scene, Colt shouts (after he is wounded by Jigsaw) that "It takes more than twelve rounds from an Uzi to kill Ted Zickleman" before realizing someone has taken over his body.
After an LAPD officer (Corey Feldman) fires his Smith & Wesson Model 15 at the "domestic dispute", Sgt. Wes Luger (Samuel L. Jackson) takes it from him, saying he'll hand it back when he listens to orders. Several other officers carry them, including Larry Wilcox as he reprises his role as Officer Jon Baker from CHiPs.
A helicopter gunner, mocking the scene from Lethal Weapon 2, fires a machine gun at a trailer. After the trailer blows up, Bruce Willis walks out in a dirty undershirt (similar to his character in the Die Hard series) and complains.
Colt (Emilio Estevez) attaches an M67 hand grenade to his tactical clothing when preparing to take on the cocaine cookie factory.

MGC CAR-15
Spoofing Sylvester Stallone in the Rambo series, Colt (Emilio Estevez) prepares to attack the cocaine cookie factory with several weapons, including a Japanese replica MGC CAR-15 with a 30-round magazine, but falls over due to the weight. It is identified as an MGC CAR-15 due to the metal buttstock, blued magazine and the fact that the buttstock is fixed in the halfway extended position.
