Elevator Action Returns (エレベーターアクション リターンズ?), released as Elevator Action II in North America, is a side-scrolling action game by Taito originally released for the arcades in 1994. It is the sequel to the 1983 arcade game Elevator Action and ran on the Taito F3 System.
Released eleven years after its predecessor, Elevator Action Returns retains the elevator-based gimmick from the original, but replaces the spy motif with a new scenario involving a paramilitary team fighting against a group of terrorists. Many additions have also been made to the play mechanics thanks to the advancement in technology such as four-way scrolling (the original could only scroll vertically), new moves and weapons for the player, multiple characters and a 2-players cooperative mode.

Famous quotes containing the words elevator, action and/or returns:
“The indifferent clerk he knowing what was going to happen
The lobby zombies they knowing what
The whistling elevator man he knowing
The winking bellboy knowing
Everybody knowing! I’d be almost inclined not to do anything!”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
“We have seen the city; it is the gibbous
Mirrored eye of an insect. All things happen
On its balcony and are resumed within,
But the action is the cold, syrupy flow
Of a pageant.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“If Thought is capable of being classed with Electricity, or Will with chemical affinity, as a mode of motion, it seems necessary to fall at once under the second law of thermodynamics as one of the energies which most easily degrades itself, and, if not carefully guarded, returns bodily to the cheaper form called Heat. Of all possible theories, this is likely to prove the most fatal to Professors of History.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
