From the silent swashbuckling days of The Mask of Zorro and The Three Musketeers in the 1920s to the cutting-edge Avatar movies of more recent years, action movies have always been a big draw and a perfect form of escapism for viewers. While the fast-paced, chaos-inspired nature of the genre generally lends itself to graphic violence and adult content, it has proven capable of adapting and thriving across a whole spectrum of demographics, from the child-focused heroics of PAW Patrol to the bloodthirsty carnage of Kill Bill.
