Production
Initially, Ursula Andress' character was written as a bisexual woman, which was dropped when director Fernando di Leo felt it was "too risky for the audience" and that "people didn't even have the term 'bisexual' in their vocabulary at that time [...] No one knew its meaning."
'Loaded Guns' was filmed at Dear Studios in Rome and on location in Naples.
Style
'Loaded Guns' was an attempt to blend the crime film and comedy. Rather than being a parody, di Leo examined a serious plot involving a hostess who gets involved in a gang war.

Reception
From a retrospective review, Italian film critic and historian Roberto Curti stated that the film was a "failed experiment" noting that most of the films gags are not funny and that the film had a confused plot.
