Action Cliches

Many cliches in action films are too obvious to mention however here are some.
The Classic action film features a small group of world-weary asassins or Green berets or Navy Seals or mercenaries who assemble to pull off one last suicidal mission,after which they will retire.
In the contemporary  action film, the villains are either heavily accented Russians, Serbs, or unidentified, all-purpose eastern European sociopaths.
The women in action films tend to be promisicuos femmes fatales or crusading journalists or medical support staff or hapless rebels or vitims or miscast.
Nobody drives a car in action films:off-road vehicles only.
