Pick Your Favorite Guy Movie And We'll Guess Your Favorite Action Star

The term "guy movie" is a bit vague but for the sake of this quiz it can be any movie that involves action in some sort of form. It doesn't have to be the main genre, for example, there are a number of films that revolve around history, crime, and superheroes, however action sequences do make up a huge part of the plots within those films.

There are movies in this quiz that are standalone films (meaning they're not a part of any series), and others that are installments from some of the biggest action franchises of the past several decades. Just to name a few of these franchises, there are movies from The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Transporter, and many others. One of the more popular tropes found in a lot of popular "guy movies" is that a highly-trained assassin or spy has gone rogue and is being hunted as a result. The reasoning differs from film to film, sometimes they left because of personal reasons, other times it's because a villain saw them as a threat.
