lethal weapon
I love Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in all four series of movies, which were all box office hits. Gibson’s funny way of being a crazy cop complemented Glover’s fears of growing old and retiring. I think it’s the addition of Jet Lee in the final sequel that made it the best of all.
rush hour
This three-movie mega-hit series from action superstar Jacky Chan with Chris Tucker is fun from start to finish. Chan’s comedic side of doing stunts was equally matched by Tucker, without “hurting” each other. With their misadventures as police detectives, I think both actors fit their roles perfectly.
Shanghai Knights
This 2003 action-comedy sequel to “Shanghai Noon” once again proved that Jacky Chan is fine with a partner. Owen Wilson was at his best in his funny acts in 19th century settings. The romance between Wilson and Fann Wong, who played the role of Chan’s sister, is cute and entertaining.
bad boys II
This action-packed comedy film from Michael Bay has taken Martin Lawrence and Will Smith to the next level. It was released in 2003 as a sequel to the 1995 film Bad Boys. It received negative reviews for its violent sense of humor, but I think Lawrence has successfully portrayed the funny moments of it.
Men in Black II
Released in 2002, this second sequel in the three-movie MIB series, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, can be classified as a comedy film. While some alien creatures and dialogue may not be suitable for young children, there are plenty of fun scenes. The special visual effects are good enough.
21 Jump Street
Based on the 1987 television series of the same name, this 2012 Hollywood comedy film revealed the comedic side of heartthrob Channing Tatum. His tandem with Jonah Hill as two unlikely and unlikely cops made for a perfect match. His next sequel “22 Jump Street” is likely to be a hit too.
the other types
Both Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg did well to share hilarious moments in this 2010 action-comedy flick. It’s no wonder the film won “Best Comedy Film” at the first annual Comedy Awards in 2010. this year. I think director Adam McKay has successfully applied his skills in his previous comedy films.
another 48 hours
This 1990 action-comedy film starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte is a sequel to the 1982 film 48 Hrs. It was more successful than the first in terms of box office and more fun. Murphy, then successful with his “Beverly Hills Cop,” once again proved that his funny face really works.
knight and day
This 2010 action movie starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is more fun than a romantic movie. To me, Diaz is charming and funny in her innocence of Cruise’s mission. If you love Cameron in Charles Angels, you will also love his humorous role in this film.
starry sky and rabbit hutch
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson played David Starsky and Ken “Hutch” Hutchinson, respectively. This is the 2004 American film adaptation of the 1970s television series with the same title. Born comedians, I think both actors have justified their talent by mixing action with comedy as the iconic undercover street cops.
