SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Action, try these.

The Larry Sanders Show poster 01

Series / 1992 / Comedy

The Larry Sanders Show

Why this pick

Like Action, it finds sharp, uncomfortable comedy in entertainment-industry vanity, fragile egos, and professionals desperately maintaining a polished facade while everything goes wrong.

Episodes poster 02

Series / 2011 / Comedy

Episodes

Why this pick

A fast, caustic show-business satire about creators watching their work be distorted by Hollywood personalities and commercial panic, with the same pleasure in escalating production chaos.

The Comeback poster 03

Series / 2005 / Comedy

The Comeback

Why this pick

Its mock-documentary intimacy makes industry humiliation hilariously painful, centering a performer navigating image management, ruthless producers, and increasingly desperate compromises.

Entourage poster 04

Series / 2004 / Drama / Comedy

Entourage

Why this pick

It shares Action’s behind-the-scenes movie-business preoccupations: volatile projects, egotistical executives, cynical dealmaking, and friendships strained by the machinery of Hollywood.

Curb Your Enthusiasm poster 05

Series / 2000 / Comedy

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Why this pick

For Action’s taste for self-inflicted disasters and abrasive comic escalation, this offers similarly cringe-rich social sabotage, industry satire, and characters unable to stop making situations worse.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Peter Dragon is a movie-producer whose latest movie has just gone down the tubes. His next flick has to be the greatest action film he's made. So when his company buys the wrong script from a wanna-be screenwriter, he teams up with Wendy Ward, a child-star turned adult-prostitute and must somehow find a way to make "Beverly Hills Gun Club" a hit.
