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 of Slaughterhouse Fight include:

Anime and Manga

In the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime, Barry the Chopper tries to kill Winry and Ed at one of these. Makes sense, since he's also a butcher.

Film

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 remake and its prequel.
Happened in the 2009 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 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 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 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.
Eat Lead: The 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.
