There are works that, by design, have little or no action due to having a focus on drama, suspense, comedy, etc. When the work is sourced for an adaptation, they end up expanding on it by adding action scenes. This can result in turning a bookish character into a Badass Bookworm, a Stealth-Based Mission becomes a big shootout or a low stakes Road Trip Plot turning into a Race Against the Clock. If the original story's protagonist was female and not much of an Action Girl, expect Xenafication. While sometimes this has the effect of Viewers Are Morons or Viewers Are Goldfish, especially when doing so with a very benign property, this can also be part of a Pragmatic Adaptation by showing the quest isn't easy, expand on what may otherwise be a short story or appealing to the audience with more impressive visual effects sequences. This trope is more common among works for children, though not always. Compare Actionized Sequel, where a franchise becomes further action-oriented as it continues. Contrast Pacified Adaptation, where an adaptation is less action-packed. |

Trials that Harry overcame relatively easily in the books — getting the flying key in Philosopher's Stone, getting the dragon egg in Goblet of Fire — are changed to harrowing encounters where Harry barely escapes alive. Likewise, what was a mostly uneventful trip by flying car in the second book becomes the kids nearly crashing into the train at one point, and Harry almost falling out. | |

Pokémon Detective Pikachu, a Live-Action Adaptation of the video game Detective Pikachu: the game has some Quicktime Event sequences, but mostly focuses on humor and puzzle-solving over Pokémon battles. The movie keeps this element and the plot point about the R serum bringing out the more aggressive traits of a Pokémon and enhancing their powers, but amplifies it further by turning them into feral creatures capable of causing great destruction; and the film also has a prominent battle scene set in an underground arena. The car accident that kicks off the plot in the game is also made into an assassination attempt in the movie, and the final battle at the Pokémon Carnival becomes less about stopping the spread of R and more about stopping a rampaging Mewtwo controlled by the Big Bad. | |

Sherlock Holmes (2009) and its sequel focus on large action set pieces where Holmes and Watson must battle various villains for their lives. Though Watson has always been a former soldier and Holmes is a martial artist, the detectives do very little fighting over the course of their sleuthing in the original stories. | |

What fights are in the books are usually expanded upon — most notably, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final confrontation between Harry and Voldemort consists of a terse conversation followed by each of them casting one spell. In the film, it's a multi-scene, full-contact Wizard Duel, some of which takes place in midair after Harry throws them both off the castle walls, and ends with a Beam-O-War. | |

The Hobbit series, in expanding a slim book across three movies, adds a lot more action scenes, including: A longer fight with the three trolls. A chase scene with a pack of warg riders. A clash between stone giants. An extended battle with the goblins in the Misty Mountains. An escape from Beorn in bear form. Turning the barrel escape into an action scene (the original was a perfectly-executed stealth escape). An orc ambush during the barrel-riding scene. A fight scene with Smaug in Erebor. A significantly expanded version of Smaug's final attack on Lake Town. The titular battle in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which took up about half a page in the novel if we're being generous (owing largely to Bilbo, whose eyes the battle was seen through, being knocked unconscious early on), stretches out for over an hour in the film. |

The Simpsons featured an episode revolving around an in-universe example. In "Beyond Blunderdome", Homer was invited to a test screening for Mel Gibson's remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and he criticizes it for having Gibson's character talk for hours and not shooting anybody (something Gibson himself regrets). Homer is invited to help edit the movie, and they mutually decide to reshoot the ending of the movie so that Mr. Smith goes on a violent rampage against the senate, culminating with him decapitating the President of the United States. Nobody liked the result, not even Jimmy Stewart's granddaughter, and in the end the movie becomes a Star-Derailing Role for Gibson. | |

Downplayed with Coraline, as the action from the movie is a tad more increased than existing scenes from the original novel. The Other Spink and Forcible are petrified instead of left behind on their flat, Coraline has to face the mantis robot of the Other Father, and she actually has to climb a spider web, the remains of the Other World, to reach the passage between worlds. | |

The Mummy (1999) is more of a rollicking Adventurer Archaeologist film with the characters doing battle with the titular Mummy and other Egyptian threats. Big special effects sequences including plagues of locusts and sandstorms are featured, and they are forced to deal with slower moving but more numerous mummy mooks. The original films were much more horror-oriented, with a lot of emphasis on the realization that the mummy was moving. | |

Metro 2033 had little action pieces, but not as frequent as in the games. In the video game adaptation, the player is forced to engage in a large number of battles, either stealthily or action-y. Also, Artyom is made into a strong soldier while he was mostly an ordinary guy in books. The later two video game sequels have their own plot separate from the games, becoming more and more into action so much that the last game Metro Exodus introduced a semi open-world locations with large groups of enemies. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Zigzagged. The manga had many action sequences that were removed from its anime adaptations, but the Toei anime expanded several manga-based chapters by adding more fights as well as in original content, such as a fighting game between Jonouchi and Aileen Rao at Death-T. The Duel Monsters anime likewise had more action during original arcs as well as in several sequences adapted from manga chapters to fill out an episode's runtime, such as a scene where Honda and Otogi nearly fall off a blimp and have to be rescued. | |

The Lord of the Rings films focused a lot more on the battles than the books, adding and extending action scenes. The prologue of the first film was only described second hand in the book, and the centerpiece fight in Balin's tomb was about a paragraph long. Similarly, the climax of the first book was focused more on Frodo and Sam splitting from the rest, with most of the Uruk-Hai attack (with Boromir's death and Merry and Pippin being taken away) again being described after the fact. The following two books were much more action-oriented than the first, which resulted in fewer expansions. | |

The PC FPS Iron Storm was ported to the Play Station 2 under the title World War Zero; though it follows the same plot and lifts many of the locations of the original game, it features shorter streamlined levels with a greater density of enemies and tones down many of the challenging mechanics of the original version to allow for a more run & gun playstyle. It also removes all mandatory stealth segments, removes a puzzle from the final level and replaces the original Zero-Effort Boss with an actual final boss battle. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac: By virtue of not having the same limitations as stage versions, the film turns the two Sword Fights of the play into swashbuckler-worthy scenes and even adds a big fight at the Porte de Nesle that counted as Offscreen Moment of Awesome in the play otherwise, plus the war scene. Although, while the French trailers of the time did feature these a lot, the heart of the film is still in the dialogue scenes, which outnumber the action ones by a good margin. | |

The two-part Spider-Man: The Animated Series story "Make a Wish"/"Attack of the Octobot" was based on the classic comics story "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" from Amazing Spider-Man #248. But rather than a quiet tale of Spider-Man discussing his life with a fan, he agrees to take her webslinging and gets attacked and mindwiped by Doc Ock. Taina then has to stop him from becoming a Criminal Amnesiac. | |

All over the place in the Harry Potter films, which took every opportunity to add action scenes where there were none before. Trials that Harry overcame relatively easily in the books — getting the flying key in Philosopher's Stone, getting the dragon egg in Goblet of Fire — are changed to harrowing encounters where Harry barely escapes alive. Likewise, what was a mostly uneventful trip by flying car in the second book becomes the kids nearly crashing into the train at one point, and Harry almost falling out. What fights are in the books are usually expanded upon — most notably, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final confrontation between Harry and Voldemort consists of a terse conversation followed by each of them casting one spell. In the film, it's a multi-scene, full-contact Wizard Duel, some of which takes place in midair after Harry throws them both off the castle walls, and ends with a Beam-O-War. |

Inverted with the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Adventure Game, which removes a number of action sequences that (admittedly) would've been hard to pull off in a Point-and-Click game. | |

A Christmas Carol added an action scene of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come chasing Scrooge with Jacob Marley's funeral wagon and shrinking him to the size of a rat, none of which was in the book. Scrooge is also physically flung around a lot by the ghosts and the effects of their visits, while in the book he's just spirited to places. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, while relatively faithful, added a scene in which the Witch's wolves pursue the Pevensie children as they try to escape across a melting frozen river. The ending battle sequence, which was told secondhand in the novel after its conclusion, is also seen in full as it occurs. Also a small scene at the beginning of the film depicting the German army bombing London and the Pevensie family being forced to take refuge in a bomb shelter. While there was a battle in the original Prince Caspian, the 2008 film made the battle a much larger part of the story, and far more graphic and brutal. |

The Myth of Link & Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a fanfiction novelization of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This is a game that's not short on action, but the main focus is on overworld exploration, exploration of Link's past. Said exploration consists of memories that are character-focused, establishing the trauma that set the stage for the present day world. Compare that to the novelization, which has extensive fight sequences with monsters, Yiga, the Blights, and even bringing in the New Champions and all of Hyrule into a vicious war with the Yiga Clan, in addition to all the canon action content. | |

Disney is a repeated offender of this, with their adaptation of Bridge to Terabithia featuring an extended, imaginary action scene where Jess and Leslie have to do battle with giant squirrels and vultures before getting rescued by a giant troll. That scene was completely imagined, by the way, and was heavily featured in the trailers, misleading most audiences into thinking the film to be a Narnia-esque fantasy epic rather than the poignant, down-to-earth drama dealing with lost innocence that the film actually was. | |

However, the first trailer of this Live-Action Adaptation shows more action than what was even in the first book, with Book Burning, soldiers forcibly capturing Gaal Dornick, a Dire Beast leaping out to attack, and an explosion. All of this has been added to increase the Spectacle of the story. | |

Hadestown is a mild example compared to the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus entered and left the Underworld without much issue aside from the whole turning-back thing. In Hadestown it's a long, dangerous trek, and he's already battered before Hades has his workers beat him up and attempt to force him out. Hades additionally threatens to kill him once he's done singing. | |

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, nearly to the point of exaggeration. In the book, Chewandswallow and the food from the sky didn't even exist: they were made up by the narrator's grandfather as a bedtime story, and as bad as things ever got for the Chewandswallowmites, the inclement weather never left their borders. The film, on the other hand, is a full-bore globe-spanning Disaster Movie: if the protagonists couldn't stop the food machine, the Earth would have been destroyed. | |

Last Action Hero parodies this in a sequence within the film. Danny's class watches part of the classic 1948 version of Hamlet (1948), specifically the scene where Hamlet hesitates to kill Claudius while he is praying. Danny points out the absurdity of this, which leads into a Fantasy Sequence of a Hamlet played by Arnold Schwarzenegger who indulges in action movie tropes and solves all of the play's conflicts with gratuitous violence. | |

The film adaptions of The Twilight Saga tend to have a lot more action; in Eclipse, we actually see the fight between the protagonists and the newborn vampire army (which was only mentioned in the book itself) and particularly in Breaking Dawn Part 2, where the film's climax includes a long battle scene (in the book, despite a fight being built-up to for much of the third act, the characters actually just stood around and talked). Ultimately, the fight did turn out to be All Just a Dream, but it still counts. It should be noted that the filmmakers originally wanted to turn the adaptations into an Underworld-esque series of action films (except for teenagers), until Stephenie Meyer vetoed the plan. | |

Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee has various Pokémon Battles scattered throughout the series, in contrast to the official Love Live! and TokiMemo franchises, where there's not much in the way of action. | |

The 1990 film adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale culminates in a high-speed car chase, complete with explosions and a helicopter. The scene comes so out-of-nowhere (and is so far removed from anything that happens in the book) that it feels like we've suddenly swapped film genres. | |

The Count of Monte Cristo's original book has very few action scenes, with two duels interrupted before they can begin via apology or a Breaking Speech. Most film adaptations add some sword fights anyway. | |

Green Eggs and Ham has many scenes where Sam-I-Am and Guy-Am-I (the then-unnamed second character from the book) face numerous amounts of peril, and one of the characters from the book, the Goat, turns into a vicious bounty hunter that antagonize the two main characters. There's also a dangerous climactic battle between the protagonists and the antagonists at the end of the first season. | |

Hook's source movie is a fantasy drama with a bit of action at the end of the film, which the game made up for by including all the action in each and every level. | |

The original Winnie the Pooh novels were pretty laid-back, having odd moments of slapstick peril (eg. Pooh blundering to save Piglet in a flood) but otherwise being very genial. The Disney franchise mostly sticks close to the spirit of the books, but the feature-length films often have more dire climaxes where the cast are put in near-death situations. The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh even utilized villains on a regular basis and made the imaginary Heffalumps and Woozles real entities, even if they were fittingly bumbling antagonists for the most part. | |

The books and plays LazyTown is based on had a lot of exercise but relatively little in the way of action. LazyTown itself has, along with exercise, quite a few action-packed episodes and situations where characters are in peril. | |

The animated movie version of The Lorax adds a few gratuitous action scenes that weren't present in either the book or the TV special, like the Lorax and the woodland creatures having to rescue Onceler from his bed falling off a waterfall, or Ted having to fight against O'Hare chasing him during the climax. | |

The Little Mermaid made the Sea Witch the main villain, had her grow gigantic, and battle Eric and Ariel after gaining control of the entire ocean. This scene was even more action-packed than what was originally intended, with Jeffrey Katzenberg telling the writers to take inspiration from the just-released Die Hard. | |

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, based on the American Girls Collection novels, added some relatively mild chase and action scenes in the film's climax, where Kit and her friends chase after and confront Mr. Berk, along with his assistant Frederich and Miss Bond, who turned out to be the ones responsible for the robberies involving hobos. | |
