Little & Big Weapon (1990) User Reviews (2)

Not another 90's action comedy Filipino film.

[dokvader · 5/10 · 15 April 2020]

From the title itself, this film was a loose parody of the popular Lethal Weapon movie and as expected two leads are wielding a little (38 revolver) and a big (Magnum 357) gun.

Joey De Leon is Mel Bigson and Rene Requiestas is Sam Flower. Together they form an unexpected duo from their respective organizations DB (Detective Bureau) and CIA (Cebu Intelligence Agency) to battle crime headed by an organization named B.O.O.B.S. Headed by Madame Butterfly (Agbayani) and supported by a litany of creatively named henchmen such as Dick Crazy, Fred Chicken and Big Spider.

Some gags would be outdated and a lot of dialogue often predictable albeit some small laughs here and there. If you are big fan of comedy especially the tandem of De Leon/Requiestas then you should not miss watching this one.

Localised comedy

[Leofwine_draca · 3/10 · 14 November 2019]

LITTLE & BIG WEAPON is a local crime comedy flick from the Philippines which is an open copy of the kind of buddy-buddy movie that was being made in Hollywood in the late 1980s. LETHAL WEAPON is an obvious inspiration here, with jokes about Mel Gibson and the like. The heroes are rather incompetent and bumbling throughout, prone to exaggerated bouts of acting, but nonetheless manage to get the job done. There's some real kookiness on display although not much in the way of action. If you like offbeat humour, dwarf dancing and pop culture references you might just get kick out of this one.
