The "Action" Genre

Action films are a film genre where action sequences, such as fighting, stunts, car chases or explosions, take precedence over elements like characterization or complex plotting. The action typically involves individual efforts on the part of the hero, in contrast with most war films. The genre is closely linked with the thriller and adventure film genres.

Therefore the genre of "Action" can be defined by the following five major features:
- Fighting
- Stunts
- Car chases
- Explosions
- Fast, quick changing scenes (Makes the scene seem more exciting)
