The Braveheart actor’s portfolio is full of comedy gold.
Back in 2000, the world saw Mel Gibson’s charming romcom about a man who acquires the ability to hear what women are thinking. What Women Want displayed the actor’s comedy talent, rarely seen in his mostly action and drama movies.
If you miss the iconic comedy that made Gibson a romcom star, we have a must-see list for you. Here are 5 of the actor’s comedies that would be perfect for an after-work chill.
1. Lethal Weapon (1987)
First comes a buddy comedy that made Mel Gibson’s name known worldwide. Following two mismatched LAPD detectives who are forced to work as partners, it demonstrates the outstanding chemistry between the actor and his co-star Danny Glover.
2. Air America (1990)
Starring Gibson and MCU icon Robert Downey Jr, this flick has them playing Air America pilots on their tricky mission during the Vietnam War. It’s actually more than an action-packed buddy comedy, as it delivers a profound anti-war commentary.
3. Bird on a Wire (1990)
Blending action, top-notch humor and a charming love story, this must-see film tells the story of a man in the witness protection program who goes on the run with his former girlfriend (played by the 90s star Goldie Hawn). Be sure it offers a wild, wild ride!
4. Maverick (1994)
A Western, based on the eponymous 1960s TV show, that follows a con artist who teams up with a female card player and a lawman to hit a solid jackpot. The onscreen trio of Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner makes it a must-watch alone.
5. Chicken Run (2000)
Finally, there is an animated gem that proves Gibson truly belongs in the genre as a voice-over actor. Set in the Yorkshire countryside, this comedy shows the adventures of anthropomorphic chickens, with Gibson’s rooster Rocky as their cocky leader.
