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.
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.
