Critical Perspective
-
One of those astounding ’70s drive-in movies that made even the most jaded 42nd Street viewers stop cold in their tracks. … Deadly Weapons is truly a sight to behold. … More of a visually trashy ’70s experience than a coherent narrative, Deadly Weapons wallows in appalling fashion, glittery nightclub decor, garish lighting, and jarring post-sync dubbing that sounds like broadcasts from a different galaxy. … What’s not to love?
