2014 live-action film based on the comic book.

The Guardians of the Galaxy film has examples of:

Always Save the Girl: When Peter learns that Gamora has only minutes to live, he leaps out into space to protect her, with little regard for his own safety.
The Casanova / Chivalrous Pervert: Peter Quill. Notably, Gamora avoids becoming yet another one of his sexual conquests.
Five-Man Band: The five archetypes are there, but their roles are more fluid than you expect.
- The Hero, with elements of The Smart Guy: Peter.
- The Lancer with elements of The Chick: Gamora.
- The Big Guy, with elements of The Hero: Drax; a Literal-Minded Blood Knight. Although not the main character, he is the one who confronts Big Bad Ronan the most.
- The Smart Guy, with elements of The Lancer: Rocket; a mechanical genius and tactical planner, but is very cynical and prone to disagreements with Peter.
- The Chick, with elements of The Big Guy: Groot; a gentle soul, very protective of his companions, and averse to in-fighting. He is not above brutal violence against those that would threaten his friends, however.
Gadgeteer Genius: Rocket definitely lives in this neighborhood. Make sure he really needs the parts he asks for, though.
Love Interest: Maybe or maybe not with Gamora. She violently rejects Peter's advances at the beginning of the second act, in rather Tsundere fashion. Though despite regularly teasing their relationship to the audience, Peter and Gamora never share an on-screen kiss or are implied to consummate their relationship in any way. Whether they'll become lovers or just stay True Companions is left up in the air.
More Dakka: Appears to be one of Rocket's core philosophies about life.
Troll / Visual Pun: At the end of the film, Peter pulls the ol' switcheroo on Yondu, handing over a dupe instead of the Infinity Stone. Yondu opens the ball to find a troll doll inside. Yondu is unsurprised, and even appears to appreciate the irony.
Tsundere: Gamora.

 ** [[The Chick]], with elements of [[The Big Guy]]: Groot; a gentle soul, very protective of his companions, and averse to in-fighting. He is not above brutal violence against those that would threaten his friends, however.
 * [[Gadgeteer Genius]]:  Rocket definitely lives in this neighborhood.  Make sure he really needs the parts he asks for, though.
-* [[Love Interest]]: Subverted with Gamora. She violently rejects Peter's advances at the beginning of the second act, calling him out on his [[Nice Guy]] routine. And despite regularly teasing their relationship to the audience, Peter and Gamora never share an on-screen kiss or are implied to consummate their relationship in any way. In fact, despite being the only female in the [[Five-Man Band]], Gamora does not serve as anyone's Love Interest. That's downright revolutionary. (But given the Sequel Hook, we're not out of the woods just yet.)
