Fortunately, although the year has hardly begun, many great action comedies have been released, and what’s coming up later in the year is also looking pretty good. This list of top 25 action comedy movies includes this year’s best, and also upcoming releases that we have high expectations for.

25. Coffee and Kareem

Coffee and Kareem is the cop movie you didn’t know you needed. It centers around Kareem and Coffee, a kid and a police officer, who are on the run from criminals after accidentally exposing their illegal activity.

Coffee and Kareem have to be ready for whatever may come their way, because danger is lurking around every corner.

24. Bad Trip

It's not about what comes at the end, it's about the trip it took to get there.

Bad Trip is all about Chris Carey,Bud Malone, and their absolutely wild cross-country adventure. Along the way Carey and Malone leave a trail of mayhem and pure chaos in their wake, with the end goal being Chris aiming to confess his love to his crush, Maria. What really makes the movie is the closing credits, which reveals the reactions of real people to the movie’s real pranks.

Chris and Bud don’t hold back with their pranks that happen real time, to real audiences.

23. Impractical Jokers: The Movie

The competition comes alive when four friends have to eliminate one of their own to get into a party.

Nothing like a road trip movie during quarantine, because if we can’t go out the next best thing is watching others go out, right? After crashing a concert back in the day, Joe, Sal, Murr, and Q rise to fame and are approached by the singer whose concert they had ruined. They are invited to a party, but there are only three tickets. This road trip comedy features a group of four friends desperately trying to out prank each other for the sake of a party ticket. 

The Four Friends have a history of making trouble, and that doesn’t look like it’ll be changing anytime soon.

22. Buffaloed

When a girl's got a dream she'll act on it, even if that means engaging in some slightly shady business.

When you get the chance to go to an Ivy League School but can’t afford it, does that mean it’s time to give up on  your dream? For Peg Dahl, definitely not. In order to get the funds to go where she wants to, Dahl takes up the dubious work of a debt collector. In her questionable line of work, it’s basically a given that not everything’s smooth sailing, and it’s up to Dahl to take care of these problems.

Zoey’s performance in "Buffaloed" received widespread critical acclaim, as did the movie itself.

Though a kids movie, audiences still found it enjoyable, especially with its great soundtrack.

20. Like a Boss

It's not easy to maintain a business and a friendship at the same time.

The action part of this is mostly in the cat-fighting, but that’s no reason to discount it. In this movie buddies Mia and Mel are faced with a huge debt, and lo behold, Claire Luna swoops in with an irresistible offer. However, Claire Luna’s deal turns out to be not-so-great, and Mia and Mel have to figure out how to work together and get their brand back.

This movie is a testament to the power of friendship and what it takes to survive in the cutthroat world of business.

19. The Whistlers

If you're looking for gripping action, this movie that dives into darkness is the one for you.

This one isn’t so much of a comedy, but it’ll for sure give you plenty of action. In The Whistlers, police officer Cristi heads to an island to learn a unique whistling language. However, he also happens to learn of a plot dealing with drug money and other aspects of an underground world. In this one, the stakes and the tensions are high.

This movie is all about the renegade martial arts master cop whose goal is to defeat the evil Kung Fuhrer. Kung Fury travels through time and space to assemble his forces to bring down evil once and for all.

Some of the most entertaining movies are the ones with the least coherent plots, and "Kung Fury 2" looks to be exactly that.

14. Spy Intervention

It's easier to admit your marraige is boring when your old coworkers need your help to save the world.

For a while, Cory Gage was the world’s greatest spy, but then he fell in love and gave up his life of danger for a plain one.

However, when a world-threatening plot enters the equation, Gage decides that returning to his old job will take care of two birds with one stone: protecting the world and reviving his marriage.

An ordinary marriage might be enough for most, but if you’ve lived the spy life, than you might need a little more spice in order to make it happen.

Birds of Prey is the sequel, but not really, to Suicide Squad that features Harley Quinn among other ladies shaking things up in Gotham.

Fans of the series should look forward to this installment that’s just as fast paced as the rest.

10. Wonder Woman 1984

The stage this time may be set in more modern times, but aspects of Diana's past are coming to find her.

Wonder Woman 1984 has yet to be released, but it looks to deliver the same blend of action and comedy that made its predecessor a hit. In this movie, Diana is expected to reunite with old fling Steve Trevor, who supposedly met an untimely end in the first movie. The big villains this time are possibly businessman Maxwell Lord and a friend from her past, Cheetah.

This next block in the DCU has great visuals and a spectacular soundtrack that work perfectly with the plot.

9. The King’s Man

We get a blast to the past and a look into very beginnings of the Kingsmen.

Although it is part of the same series, The King’s Man is not a continuation of  the Kingsman series, but rather a prequel. Not much has been released about it yet, but from the looks of it, it is set during a war time period, and we’ll be looking for some refined gents to save the day. If it’s anything at all like the last two Kingsman movies, then it’ll for sure be an action packed hoot.

Historical movies are always great fun, and even more so when the lead roles are taking down villains in only the classiest of manners.

8. Lego DC: Shazam!: Magic and Monsters

The Lego Justice League faces a new evil that's more powerful than they anticipated.

If you haven’t watched any of the Lego DC movies, you’re missing out and "Shazam! Magic and Monsters" is a great place to start.

7. Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic is a speedy alien whose unexpected appearence on Earth draws some unwanted attention.

Sonic the Hedgehog is yet another animated action comedy here to give fans what they deserve. While it might be targeted toward children, that doesn’t mean everyone of all ages can’t enjoy it. The movie is about Sonic, an extraterrestrial, who just so happened to appear on Earth and cause a power outage. Villain Doctor Robotnik is in charge of finding him, and soon becomes obsessed with capturing Sonic.

Although fans had fears when the first pictures of this movie were released, those fears were dispelled soon after the movie released and charmed audiences.

6. Guns Akimbo

Take trolling too far and you'll end up running for your life from a top notch killer.

This action comedy is a new take, and quite an interesting one at that too. Former normal person Miles Lee Harris is turned into a player of a game that involves criminals and psychopaths after he makes fun of people who enjoy watching the bloody battles. He is then forced to go on the run as he is pitted against the game’s most dangerous killer.

Daniel Radcliff takes on the role of Miles Lee Harris, whose life is on the line because of some internet trolling.

5. Onward

This story about family takes its audience on an exciting magical journey.

4. Free Guy

An ordinary guy will have to rise up against the odds and become unordinary.

Although this movie has yet to be released, many are expecting it to be good. This action comedy is yet another take on the digital world mixing with the real one. An ordinary NPC character breaks the fourth wall and tries to make himself the main character to save his game before it is shut down by developers.

"Free Guy" is one of the most highly anticipated action comedies of 2020

3. My Spy

Agent JJ could learn a thing from Sopie, an absolute natural at the job.

Action comedies with spies are always hit or miss, and this one looks like it’ll be a hit. My Spy is about Agent JJ who’s a little less subtle than he should be, which causes him to be given a final chance to prove he can be on intelligence before he is given the boot. However, he is caught by Sophie, a kid, and in return for her silence he must teach her how to be a spy.

This action comedy reminds us it’s not what’s on the outside but what’s on the inside that matters, though that doesn’t mean what’s on the outside isn’t important.

2. The Gentlemen

Shady business attracts shady people, and this action comedy shows just that.

Mickey Pearson is the owner of a successful marijuana empire, which he is planning to cash out of. This grabs the attention of many people, more than a few of them with shady backgrounds, who want what he has. Many plots are contrived to steal Pearson’s empire, which keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

This action comedy introduces us to the world of shady businesses, because money has to be made some way or another.

1. Bad Boys For Life
