to:

[[folder:A character is [[folder:Correct use: an 'old-fashioned' Action Hero [=/50=]]]meeting certain characteristics: unambiguously heroic, big and tough, jovial or heroic, etc. [=3/50=]]]
* MenAreTough: HollywoodActionHero: Almost always male to reinforce the trope of the manly-man action star. '''I guess technically, as many of the traits in the trope description are stereotypically "manly" ones.'''
* SpirirualAntithesis/LiveActionFilms: Snake's backstory is that of an archetypal HollywoodActionHero, a [[EyepatchOfPower one-eyed]] ex-Special Forces operative turned {{bank robber|y}} who was on his way to prison before being recruited for his mission. Russell may not have the HeroicBuild of someone like Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, but everything else about his performance tells the viewer that he can kick ass, take names, and get the job done. He goes into the Manhattan prison island on the orders of the good guys (well, as good as the [[OppressiveStatesOfAmerica pseudo-fascist American government]] of [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 1997]] can be said to be) to rescue the President in exchange for having his sentence commuted, and the only reason he cares about his mission is because of the ExplosiveLeash they implanted in his neck.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure/UnknownReference: In the episode "Hostile Makeover" of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'', [[HollywoodActionHero old-school manly man]] Brock tries to convince young Hank to stop emulating Music/JustinBieber just because "chicks dig him". He loses enthusiasm when he learns that Hank has never heard of Creator/{{Steve McQueen|Actor}}.



[[folder:A character is an Action Hero [=1/50=]]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Broforce}}'': Inspired by action flicks from the 80s and 90s as well as a few from the 2000s. '''This seems to just be "the characters are based on action-movie characters?'''

* ''Trivia/TheMeg'': ''The Meg'' was released the same year as ''Film/Rampage2018'' and ''Film/PacificRimUprising'', two [[{{Kaiju}} Giant-monster]] movies starring a HollywoodActionHero (Creator/DwayneJohnson and Creator/JohnBoyega). '''Minimal-context pothole.'''

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness/VideoGamesNToZ: Sergeant Cortez (who wasn't even in the first game, despite being the main character of the other two) similarly went from being a rather generic HollywoodActionHero in ''2'' to a dorky IdiotHero in ''Future Perfect''.

The trope page itself is also ''very'' poorly written and kind of complainy.
