Summary/Abstract: Action is among the most cinematographic genres. Ever since the advent of cinema, the genre has developed rapidly, making now the highest-grossing films with the biggest budgets. Practically, action occurs in all commercial genres. The paper treats the trends in action movies and two elements in particular: fight and chase scenes. Three major trends are highlighted: of increasing dynamism, movement on the brink of perceptions and the ‘endless’ duration of action episodes and the way these are taken by the audiences.
