Line 1:
{{trope}}
A fight that takes place in a slaughterhouse, amongst the meat chunks hanging from the hooks. Adds a certain edge to a confrontation, surrounding it with death from the onset and simultaneously blocking the line of sight in all directions. Expect [[No OSHA Compliance]].

Not to be confused with ''[[Slaughterhouse-Five]]''.
 
▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In the first ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime, [[Serial Killer|Barry]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|the Chopper]] tries to kill Winry and Ed at one of these. Makes sense, since he's also a butcher.
Line 9 ⟶ 11:
* ''[[Predator]] 2'': The chilly temperatures to keep the meat from spoiling are a plot point.
* At the end of ''[[Wanted]]'', fighting the knife master.
* ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Film)|The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'' remake and its prequel.
* Happened in the 2009 ''[[Sherlock Holmes (Filmfilm)|Sherlock Holmes]]'' movie, with the [[Damsel in Distress]] chained to a [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]] leading to a bandsaw and gas pipes spewing flame. The location was later justified {{spoiler|when it was revealed the [[Big Bad]] was refining his poison gas in the bellies of swine.}}
* The [[Reb Brown]] ''Captain America'' film has one fight scene and it takes place in a slaughter house.
* Van Damme's character finds himself in such situation in ''[[Maximum Risk]]'', as he is chased by a chainsaw wielding bad guy.
* The 2005 horror film ''The Slaughterhouse Massacre''.
 
== Literature: ==
* Done in ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'' The Experiment.
 
== Live-Action Television ==
* There are at least two examples in ''[[The X -Files]]'', one of them in episode "Red Museum".
 
== Video Games ==
* Norman fights a minor criminal inside a slaughterhouse in ''[[Heavy Rain]]''. A meathook ends up playing an important part in the fight.
* The second escape sequence through Lupino's hotel in ''[[Max Payne (Video Gameseries)|Max Payne]]'' takes Max through a slaughterhouse full of gangsters at one point.
* In a late level in the original ''[[Splinter Cell]]'', Sam has to crawl through a slaughterhouse filled with enemy guards (and turrets).
* The fight against Eddie in ''[[Silent Hill 2]]''. The theme of "butchery" is also significant in ''[[Silent Hill Origins (Video Game)|Silent Hill Origins]]''.
* ''[[Eat Lead: theThe Return of Matt Hazard]]'' has the beginning of the second level (arguably the first real level, since the first is more of a tutorial/setting-of-the-stage thing) set in a butcher's store, complete with a shootout in the meatlocker, and an achievement for destroying all the hanging sides of meat.
* In the original ''[[Half Life]]'', there was a level that partly took place in a giant walk-in refrigerator with hanging meat.
