Action Porn

A film with a storyline who’s only purpose is to facilitate the 'action'. Similar to porn where a story is only in place to give a reason for why the two (or more) people have been brought together to indulge in sex.

In general action porn revolves around a protagonist who uses a combination of insane firepower, kung fu, free-running, massive explosions, stunts and his own awesomeness in order to save the world in the most gratuitous way possible.

One of the best and most literal examples of action porn is the film “Shoot ‘Em Up” in which Clive Owen continues to have sex with his love interest whilst taking out a room of armed men.

Other major action porn tiles include Born to fight, District 13 and Ong Bak.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
