Genre

Classic films such as Pulp Fiction that create an Action Comedy. The film consists of Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega, two hit men who are out to retrieve a suitcase stolen from their employer, mob boss Marsellus Wallace. Wallace has also asked Vincent to take his wife Mia out a few days later when Wallace himself will be out of town. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his next fight. The lives of these seemingly unrelated people are woven together comprising of a series of funny, bizarre and uncalled-for incidents. This film consists of generic conventions of an Action film, including gun fights, lots of heavy language, smoking and money. It also includes the main protagonist's and the rivalry between two sides that we expect to see from an action film. Comedy is also used in this film however is mainly based on our violent humour as an audience of Action films.

 More Modern films such as 21 Jump Street take these generic conventions of Action films such as Pulp Fiction and change them ever so slightly in order to create something new to meet the modern audience. Examples in taking the comedy element and extending it to meet the audience. In 21 jump street we see Schmidt and Jenko are high school students, one an honour roll geek, the other a cool, athletic underachiever. By 2012, they are rookie cops, paired together, on bike patrol yearning to make arrests. After a screw up, they're sent undercover back to high school to find the source of a dangerous synthetic drug. They mix up their names, and Schmidt gets the no-brainer classes where he auditions for Peter Pan and falls in love with Wendy; Jenko gets AP classes where he falls in with high-achieving dweebs. This second chance at high school gives Schmidt delusions of grandeur, which threaten the operation.
