There’s something wildly satisfying about watching two reluctant heroes banter their way through a crisis. If Heads of State left you hungry for more high-octane humour and unlikely partnerships, you're in luck. These twelve action comedies pack in the chaos, charisma and choreographed madness that make the genre so addictive. Whether it's solving crimes, surviving assassins or getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, these films are proof that saving the day is best done with a joke in hand.
12 Action Comedies To Watch On Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar And More
1. The Nice Guys
Where to watch: Prime Video
A girl in hiding hires Healy to rough up March, a detective on her trail. But when two hitmen come knocking, Healy teams up with March to find her — leading to a wild, messy, and oddly charming ride through 1970s Los Angeles.
2. Bullet Train
Where to watch: Netflix
Five assassins. One bullet train. A briefcase everyone wants. What starts as a simple job for Ladybug turns into a riot of blood, bad luck, and killer monologues at 300 kilometres an hour.
3. Hot Fuzz
Where to watch: MX Player
Nicholas Angel is too good a cop for London, so he gets reassigned to a sleepy village with suspiciously few crimes — until bodies start dropping. A rural mystery wrapped in explosions, cult conspiracies and pub fights.
4. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Where to watch: JioHotstar
A small-time thief fakes his way into an acting job, only to get caught in a real-life Hollywood murder mystery. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer trade jabs, bullets and body bags with deliciously dark humour.
5. Game Night
Where to watch: YouTube (rent)
Max and Annie just wanted a fun evening with friends. Instead, they get a kidnapping, a secret brother, and a dead-serious game of survival. Think Clue, but with real guns and even sharper dialogue.
6. 21 Jump Street
Where to watch: Prime Video
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill go back to high school — undercover, awkward, and hilariously out of place. This reboot balances action and absurdity like a teen movie with a criminal record.
7. 22 Jump Street
Where to watch: Prime Video
Now in college, Schmidt and Jenko face new challenges: frat life, relationship drama and an even weirder drug ring. It's a meta sequel that knows it's a sequel, and somehow makes that genius.
8. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Where to watch: JioHotstar
To win Ramona’s heart, Scott has to fight her seven evil exes in video-game-style battles across Toronto. It’s loud, fast, and visually bonkers, with just enough awkward romance to keep it grounded.
9. Tropic Thunder
Where to watch: Prime Video (rent)
A bunch of pampered actors go into the jungle to shoot a war movie and end up in a real warzone. Chaos follows. Explosions follow. And somehow, it’s all still a satire about Hollywood ego.
10. Snatch
Where to watch: SonyLIV
A stolen diamond, bare-knuckle boxing, and a rotating cast of criminals make Snatch the most quotable gangster comedy you’ll ever watch. If Heads of State is your starter pack, this is your crash course.
11. The Gentlemen
Where to watch: Prime Video
Guy Ritchie returns to his roots with this tale of a weed kingpin looking to cash out. Blackmail, betrayal and plenty of extremely British swearing follow. It's slick, stylish and full of backstabbing charm.
