Research and Planning

Research for an action comedy

Acton movies nowadays usually have some comedy in them anyway, but movies that are action comedies have a good balance between the two.

Deadpool was a one big slapstick movie where its action lead to comedy and the main character would also tell small jokes or make comments towards the audience which got a good laugh.

Movies like London/Olympus has fallen are movies packed to the brim with action but have some funny lines in the movie which as well as make a comedic atmosphere show off the main character as a sort of badass.

Hot Fuzz is a good example of an action comedy as the main character is so good at what he does its funny, the side characters he meets are funny too because they make the main look even more unbelievably perfect in comparison. The action scenes near the end were also good as the would use the tropes of "defeating an enemy and delivering a small cuss to poor salt on the wound".

22 Jump Street had some great moments using the main characters bromance as a sort of catalyst for jokes.

Johnny English was another good movie for its comedy, the bumbling secret agent archetype was a great choir for that inns of movie, leaving an important task in the hands of an imbecile.
