Who are the greatest action duos of all time? We're sharing our picks for the five best duos in action movies, including several well-known star pairings.
Action movies have been around since the dawn of cinema, but the action genre as we know it came to be during the ’70s and ’80s. The formula for action movies hasn’t changed much in the decades since then. While many standard action flicks go for a single lead, like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator films, action comedies tend to work best when pairing up two stars as duos in buddy flicks.
Recommended Videos 5. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith Martin Lawrence and Will Smith were already established TV stars when director Michael Bay united them in Bad Boys, a buddy cop film that critics absolutely hated. Audiences felt differently about Smith’s Mike Lowrey and Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett, a pair of detectives in the Miami police department.
Smith and Jones reunited for Men in Black II, but they only briefly shared the screen in Men in Black III because Smith’s J was trapped in the past in order to save a younger K, as played by Josh Brolin. Still, this kind of action duo doesn’t just happen by accident. Nor is their onscreen bond easy to recreate, as illustrated by Sony’s failed attempt to revive the franchise without Smith and Jones in Men in Black International.3.
