Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
The idea that boxing lends itself to cinema so well is because it's usually a morality play - good against evil, insecurity and triumph, fear strikes out, so the audience can really get drawn into the drama of it. Also, it was sensual and very primal. I think subliminaly we do two things - life is a fight, life is a struggle and we understand that from our early, early, early ancestors, and life is a race.
