Con Air: Similar Movies with the same sense of humor?

Haven't seen Con Air yet, but I recently caught this for the first time, and it's an absolute classic:

It's been a long time since I've seen it but I recall the first half being really good, but then it got a bit silly. Don't they have some kind of armoured truck or car, or am I thinking of another film? :)
The entire movie is gloriously stupid/silly, but yes, things do take a bit of an unexpected turn with the Q expy and the armored van. Myself, I loved this mild gear shift. :cool:
 
^Yeah.

Also I'd rank the movie Commando (as well as The Rock mentioned before) in the same category.
 
Commando is one of the best bad movies of all time.

Really? What makes you say that?

Did anyone else find it odd how the convicts in Con Air all worked together so well at Learner Airfield where they were digging out the plane and then teaming up to fight when the authorities arrived? Wouldn't at least one convict turn on the others for no apparent reason?
 
If you don't have a problem with French movies, check out Ruby & Quentin, Wasabi or Cash, some of Jean Reno's movies. Reno's native language movies are usually much better than his international ones, same as with Jackie Chan.

Why?

Because they're convicts?

How is Commando the best movie ever?
