Let's look at the most recognizable Russian action comedies: films and series of recent years, as well as films from the Soviet era. It is worth admitting that Russian cinema does not have such a large number of films in its database, which combine the characters of action films and comedies. Domestic directors, producers and screenwriters pay more attention to one of these areas of the genre.

Films at a Glance: Russian Action Comedies

In the post-Soviet era, hundreds, perhaps thousands of comedy films were released, where notes of militants were indirectly or directly present. A lot of films were produced where the action-filled plot surprised with humorous remarks and scenes inserted. But good works were only a small percentage of the total number of films released.

"The Nightingale the Robber" is a picture that tells about the Russian "Robin Hood". The main role was entrustedperform Ivan Okhlobystin, with whom he did an excellent job. The entire cast did a great job. The actors perfectly got used to the roles: whether it be a huge hero - Nightingale's assistant, or the main antagonist - a villain. Watching this movie will distract you from the painful problems of life.

"Black Lightning" - a film that includes elements of science fiction. The work has the character of foreign works about the extraordinary abilities of technology, but in a Russian way. Why, you ask, Russian? The main engineering marvel in the film is the Volga-21.

Another film by workers of the national cinematography. An unobtrusive and funny action movie - "Antidur". The main characters (D. Dyuzhev and V. Turchinsky) have to deal with bandits of a global scale. In the finale, a beautiful song by Valery Leontiev sounds.

Series at a Glance: Russian Action Comedies

I would like to highlight two of the most memorable series of the beginning of the XXI century: "Deadly Force" and "Truckers".

The first picture tells about the everyday life of our Russian peace officers. Each character is endowed with a certain type of temperament and a peculiar sense of humor. They love their work. In the film, which is notable for the dynamic plot of an action movie, the directors skillfully show the beauty of the Russian human soul.

"Truckers" - a film that tells the story of two bosom comrades who earn money on long-distance transportation. Driving around in a truck to different parts of the country, theyeach series get into trouble. Sometimes it's a funny incident, and sometimes it's a trip at gunpoint.

There are many examples of films of these genres, such as Capercaillie or Fizruk, but the previous versions have already become classics.

Examples of Soviet-era films

Russian action comedies by Soviet developers have no less examples in their gallery.

For example, the movie series "12 chairs". Comedy? Yes, no one dares to argue that this genre is considered the main one here. But why, you ask, a militant? Think about what Ostap and Kisa did? That's right - a crime.

Another example is the "Diamond Hand", which to this day is an ageless classic. She makes us laugh throughout the entire timeline, but here, too, a couple of Mironov and Papanov are engaged in unclean deeds.

We will expect new works from domestic filmmakers no worse than foreign ones. And you just have to wish you a pleasant viewing!
