Action films follow a very stereotypical boys dream of how to live. It usually revolves around a group of charecters, usually males, embariking on increadibly dangerous journeys (missions) with big guns and army costumes.
There is mostly always the coward in the film, who is very reluctant to take part within the assigment and occasionally the "mole" who turns out to be a traitor for the opposition.
There is always the dominant memmber, who apppears to use this as an ego boost, saying it is his mission and the others don't have to come..
However they always remain, seemingly loyal to their captain.
The charecters usually always follow a similar appearance of big muscles and look not disimilar to an action man doll.
The villains within the films are usually sinister charecters with heavy accents, either regional or completely foreign and usually embark on a ego boost to rule the country, or in some cases the enitre world...
Any female charecters seen within the film are usually provocative 'babes' who any man would desire, they usually end up leaping into bed with the main leader, or at least share a romantic moment.
Action films always cotnain some massive medical downfall, where a charecter may have a painful injury which unables him to continue, however this is usually resolved pretty quick with a decision to continue, or may include the lead charecter getting cold feet or making a sacrifice. This occurs in pirates of the carribean where captain jack sparrow often tries to negotiate with enemies to avoid confrontation, or is all to willing to sacrifice members of his own crew to save his own skin.,
The typical action scene everyone has been waiting for, features completely ott stunts which no one in real life could ever think to participate in, they often have charecter jumping from ridiculous heights, explosions that would destroy buildings....
the lead charecters always have one liners which the audience will remember
for example the vilain in terminators line
'i'll be back'
Most action films always come in a series for exaple potc terminator starwars.
It's never just a one off despite the lead charecters decision to retire.
They are usually always left on a cliffhanger of somesort.
