Guns Akimbo is a 2019 action comedy film written and directed by Jason Lei Howden. It stars Daniel Radcliffe, Samara Weaving, Ned Dennehy, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Grant Bowler, Edwin Wright, Rhys Darby, Milo Cawthorne, Richard Knowles, and Mark Rowley. In the film, an underground fight club becomes popular due to live-streaming fights to the death. A computer programmer criticizes the spectacle, and he is then forced to become one of its contestants.

The film had its world premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in the United States on 28 February 2020 by Saban Films, in New Zealand on 5 March 2020 by Madman Entertainment and in Germany on 25 June 2020 by Leonine Distribution. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic closing theatres worldwide, the film became available digitally on-demand less than three weeks after it was released theatrically.
