At the box office and during the premiere of the film, the actors of "Charged Weapons" made the audience laugh in almost every frame. They turned the picture into one solid comedy movie with virtually no breaks in the plot.
Have some fun in the frame
Almost all the actors of "Charged Weapons" were popular even before filming and did not need additional fame. Therefore, they had the only incentive in their work - the pleasure of the filming process. Just reading the script during the preparation of the film and on the samples delighted each participant in the filming.
The main cast:
- Emilio Estevez.
- Samuel L. Jackson.
- John Lovitz.
- Tim Curry.
- Katie Ireland
- Frank McRae.
- William Shatner.
- Rick Doomman.
In the film "Loaded weapons", actors and screenwriters used literally every opportunity to make the audience laugh with the actions of the characters, circumstances, events, and even the names of the characters.
Samuel Leroy Jackson
Samuel’s entire career should be divided into two stages: before Pulp Fiction and after it. In 1994, one of the main roles in the film opened up great opportunities for him in the cinema. Since that time, the directors considered it a great success to persuade the actor to participate in his film. His track record has replenished with more than a hundred films that have had huge box office success at the box office.
Samuel Leroy Jackson was born in 1948 to a single mother from an alcoholic father in a poor area of the US capital. Many more members of his family lived in Washington. Soon this will save the future actor from orphanage and poverty, as Samuel's mother was in a psychiatric hospital. Then the grandparents take the boy in their house with the support of a huge family.
The future big-screen star decides to become an actor on a student bench during college. At first he studied architecture, but then transferred to the faculty of drama and at the age of 24 Samuel made his debut in the film with a small budget. And in 1993 he was invited to shoot in a film-parody of a Hollywood action movie. After showing the comedy "Charged Weapons", the actors and roles gathered a lot of good reviews. But Samuel only had a year to play a major role in life: the young director Tarantino would call him to Pulp Fiction. At the moment, Jackson is already 69 years old.
Emilio Estevez
Hereditary actor Emilio Estevez was born in 1962 in the family of Hollywood star Martin Sheen. One of his younger brothers also became a world-famous actor - Charlie Sheen. In his career, he even surpassed Emilio by fame and popularity.
Estevez played the first role in the movie at the age of 18 and since then has remained a sought-after actor for 37 years now. On his account - work in the cinema, theater and on television. In his career, he boasts collaboration with world-class stars. Among his partners in the filming, it is worth noting Demi Moore, Samuel L. Jackson, Rob Lowe, Charlie Sheen and others. With his brother Carlos Esteves (pseudonym Charlie Sheen), he starred in the comedy Men at Work. Throughout his career, Emilio has performed more than 30 big roles in the movie, now the actor is 55 years old.
According to the director of "Charged Weapons", the actors in the frame performed a parody of all Hollywood action movies with their hyperbole and mistakes. The list of ridiculed films could be put on a separate list. For example, the main characters imitated the detectives from the movie "Lethal Weapon", and the police Riggs became the prototype of the character Emilio.
Movie Reviews and Criticism
On the set, all the actors of "Charged Weapons" understood the purpose of the picture: to make the audience laugh in every frame. They succeeded thanks to a team of scriptwriters. According to critics, the picture is replete with parody and just comedic moments with good quality humor.
However, not very flattering reviews came from individual role performers. Whoopi Goldberg got the most for a short episode when her heroine died from the bullets of the villain. Critics have been overwhelmingly critical of this role.
However, the actors of the film “Charged Weapons” performed the main task in full - at the premiere the audience laughed to tears.
