Comedies where some plots out to kill someone.


Horrible Bosses

Which other comedies can you recommend where someone plots to kill another person?

If the individual or group of people trying to commit the murder are really clumsy at it it's even better!

The Naked Gun

Frank Drebin saves Queen Elizabeth II from assassination at a ballgame

that part where the umpires are arguing and then leslie nielsen pulls out a gun. "Oh, he's safe" "You're the boss". Imagine if that was how actual baseball games were decided.

That would make for one hell of a world series!

Ruthless People

To Die For

reply

Ruthless People was just about kidnapping, no?

reply

No, Danny DeVito was trying to kill his wife, Bette Midler. His plans were interrupted by an unrelated kidnapping.

Another one, not nearly as good, but I love it: Avenging Angelo, where Angelo’s daughter kills his enemy by giving him a heart attack because of his sex lust.

reply

I love when Danny Devito yells at the kidnappers "I dare you to kill her!"

reply

I love To Die For.

Actually found myself rooting for Susie Stone even though I knew she was supposed to be the evil one. Her husband was a douche!

A Fish Called Wanda.

The old lady is the target, and Ken (the incompetent assassin) is an avid animal lover...
