6 Action Comedies That Will Make You Laugh - Movie Suggestions
Hello everyone & welcome to Movie Suggestions, where I
recommend a selection of movies each week by genre, such as
Sci-fi, adventure or Horror. And for today's genre, we�re gonna
be looking at one of my all time favourites -Action Comedy
Action comedies come IN many shapes and forms and you�ve
mostly likely seen every variation at one time or another,
perhaps as a buddy cop film, a martial arts flick, or a
parody.
As you get best of both worlds from two popular genres, you
could almost say that you�re been spoilt for choice by either
having the ability to watch a highly entertaining action
sequence or just fulfilling the simple human need to have
a good laugh.
Now for those of you new to this channel, I try to avoid
picking super obvious
films that and I�m putting in links for where you can get
these movies on amazon
and if you�re interested I have a link to Amazon prime
video�s- FREE 30 day trial in the description box below.
So first up today is 2004�s Kung Fu Hustle, Directed by
Stephen Chow, this crime comedy is set in Canton China in the
1940s.
The story centres around a wannabe gangster who desperately
wants to become a member of the notorious & deadly "Axe Gang".
Stumbling into a slum & attempting to extort money out of a
local barber our Gangster only finds that several kung fu
masters live within this Slum, and that they will do anything
to defend their beloved home.
A funny blend of martial arts & slapstick-comedy, Kung Fu
Hustle�s satire of kung fu movies is highly entertaining and
full of laughs,s
Ok it�s pretty silly at times & the CGI is a little dated, but
the fight scenes in this are just so over the-top that they
bring a whole meaning to the word epic especially for a live
action film. I mean they�re pretty hard to forget.
Kung FU Hustle is lots of fun and is definitely a must see
movie. Now Speaking of Must see movies the next film is a
real classic crime-comedy.
Directed by Arthur Hiller and starring Gene Wilder, 1976�s
Silver Streak follows George Caldwell, an overworked author,
who�s taking a slow restful trip from Los Angeles to Chicago
on a train called the Silver Streak. Or so he thinks. After
witnessing a dead man been thrown off the-train, and been
framed for murder, George must now join forces with a-thief to
try n� clear his name, and stop the bad guys.
A solid comedy thriller with lots of laughs and cheesy-action
Silver Streak successfully combines multiple genres to create
this mystery that's both fun and pretty thrilling.
Sure it�s not the best Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor film, but I
think that�s mainly down to pryor not making an appearance
until half way through the movie, which I might add transforms
the film entirely. With that in mind, it�s still a well put
together movie, that�s clever, funny, and has a great cast.
Another action comedy that focuses on getting from point A to
Point B is the quirky but highly memorable slapstick, 1969�s
Monte Carlo or Bust!
The Story centres around a 1500-mile international car rally,
where competitors must travel from various points in Europe to
Monte Carlo. Tony Curtis and Terry-Thomas play two competing
drivers in a high stakes winner take all bet. But this race
turns out to be a lot more complicated than first assumed,
mainly because of cheating, smuggling and love at first sight.
One of the best films to get you out of a bad mood Monte Carlo
or Bust is an action packed race movie that is filled with
great comedic scenes and is incredibly fun to watch.
I have to say one of the main reasons why I love this movie so
much, is due to the British Army Officers, who drive around in
their crazy customised car.
That and the chemistry between all these famous actors, while
a little cheesy at times, is very entertaining and should leave
a smile on your face.
Following Monte Carlo or Bust is one of my favorite action
comedies from the 80�s Robert Zemeckis�s, Romancing the stone
1984
Joan Wilder, a New York city based writer of romantic-novels,
is forced to travel to South America after receiving a call
from her sister, who informs Joan, that she�s been kidnapped
and that Joan must bring a package to Colombia if she doesn�t
want to see her sister getting hurt. On her travels she meets
a scornful man named Jack who agrees to help her.. for a fee.
With excellent chemistry and fun action packed-scenes,
Romancing the Stone is a great example of an Eighties classic
that does everything right. Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner
and Danny DeVito are all superb together. The story is highly
adventurous n� straight to the point. And the comedy slap
stick moments are really well timed.
Romancing the stone is a must watch film for fans of 80�s
action romcoms.
Next up is Richard Lester�s light hearted, high spirited
comedy The Three Musketeers 1973
The film follows a young swordsman by the name of D'Artagnan.
This would-be musketeer travels to Paris to make his name, and
fulfil his dream of becoming a King�s musketeer. But his
arrival to Paris starts of a little shaky when he somehow
offends three men- Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, each of whom
challenges him to a duel to the death.
Probably the best version of the historic adventure, 1973�s
The Three Musketeers has some pretty good visuals as well as
having some very grand set design. In terms of laughs it uses
physical comedy really intelligently, however I can imagine a
lot of people just seeing it as been incredibly cheesy, which
it is, but for me that�s a bonus as one of the films
strengths is that it doesn�t take itself seriously.
Entertaining but incomplete without its sequel The Three
Musketeers is comedy worth seeing if you want some silly
action packed laughs.
Likewise for the next movie on this list 1994�s The Legend of
Drunken Master, directed by Lau Kar Lung Chia-Liang Liu.
A young martial artist called Fei Hong is unwittingly caught
up between, respecting his pacifist father's wishes, or
fighting against some disrespectful gangsters. When he
accidentally ends up with a box of valuable Chinese artifacts,
which these criminals want to smuggle overseas to make a
profit.
The sequel to the original Drunken Master, The Legend of
Drunken Master has Jackie Chan once again kicking ass with his
Drunken boxing technique. In some of the most amazing and
entertaining fight sequences I�ve ever seen.
And yes I think it would be a fair statement to say this is
probably one of Jackies finest movies, not necessarily for
plot, but for it�s stunts and fight scenes, I mean they really
are the definition of amazing.
I�d say it�s only weakness is it�s dub, which is pretty bad,
so if you can get a copy with subtitles, then it really is
worth doing. But apart from that its a film that has as very
fun story with memorable characters that should make you
laugh, it�s a brilliant movie that is highly rewatchable and a
must see for Jackie fans.
