Darkened Building Shootout: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

== Anime and Manga ==

* The manga version of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' has a shootout in a darkened warehouse that's similar to this, although it has two ~~variations--first~~, it's the ''heroes'' that get chased into the building by the villains, not the other way around. Second, Rosette realizes that their enemies are using the darkness as a psychological attack, and shoots at a spilled puddle of some flammable liquid, causing the building to set on fire. This gives them more light at the climax of the fight, but also increases the danger and splits the group up into pairs. (Also, it takes place in the ''middle'' of the series, not the end.)

* Used in an episode of ''[[Noir (anime)|Noir]]'', where the girls find themselves the targets.

** But Kirika gives them an advantage by putting ''popcorn'' on the floor. She's so uncannily good that she can tell from the sound of it being broken where the Mooks are and shoot them accurately.

* Used in ''[[Kick-Ass (film)|Kick Ass]]'' when Big Daddy is being held in a warehouse and his daughter [[Little Miss Badass|Hit-Girl]] goes in to rescue him wearing night-vision goggles, {{spoiler|[[You Are Too Late|but is too late to save him.]] }}

* ''See No Evil, Hear No Evil'': A shootout in dark ~~building -- with~~ a twist: one of the protagonists is blind. {{spoiler|And so is the [[Big Bad]].}}

* In ''[[Blade Runner]]'': Deckard's final showdown with Batty occurs in a dark, dank, building (actually the famous [[wikipedia:Bradbury Building|Bradbury Building]] in Los Angeles).

* Used in ''[[On Deadly Ground]]''; the oil rig fits once Forrest Taft cuts its power. The methods of killing turn quite creative there...

* [[Lampshade~~|Lampshaded~~]] in ''[[Artemis Fowl]]: The Arctic Incident'', where LEP officers are drilled never to enter an unsecured building in a firefight without backup. ''Never.'' So guess what [[Cowboy Cop|Holly]] proceeds to do when she's chasing down a smuggler. In her defense, it worked.
