Line 91:
* ''Brannigan'' (1975). [[John Wayne]] gets into a fight when he tries to interrogate someone in an English pub. The crook tries to fight him, leading to a brawl in which an innocent bystander keeps getting punched in the face every time he tries to walk in the door, then the poor man gets arrested by responding police. "I was only here for the beer!"
* The main characters witness one in ''[[Race with the Devil]]''. One of the characters even lampshades it, saying it's the "first one of the night".
* ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'': {{spoiler|Zeus's betrayal}} of the heroes gets Clu's forces storming the End of Line club. A ''massive'' fight breaks out. The reaction of the [[Daft Punk|club DJs]]? Look at each other, and [[Sorry I Left the BGM On|change the music to something a little more fast-paced]].
* [[Universal Soldier]] has Van Damme scuffling with some local toughs - "I just want to eat."
Line 106:
* In one story from the ''[[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]]'' series, Mor glasch Tev (the Tellarite second officer) accidentally starts a bar brawl on Rhaax, due to mistaking hostility for Tellarite-esque argumentative politeness. Under his people's [[Blue and Orange Morality]], insults and blustering argument are a form of polite discourse. He misjudged in this case, though.
* In ''[[Myth Adventures|Myth-Inc in Action]]'', Chumley goes to wait outside while his sister Tananda takes on an entire bar, amusing himself by cataloguing the various damage she was causing by sound alone.
* In ''[[Mass Effect: Retribution]]'', it's made clear that the xenophobic Cerberus assassin, Kai Leng, is a huge badass when we learn why he was kicked out of the Alliance marines in the first place. He had a [[Bar Brawl]] with a '''[[Made of Iron|KROGAN]]''' and killed it with ''nothing more than a knife''. Keep in mind that krogan have redundant vital organs, meaning that you essentially have to kill them twice, and are strong enough to break a human's neck by simply backhanding them.
* One of the men on trial with Fisk in the ''[[Knight and Rogue Series]]'' was arrested for getting into a bar brawl, though it's implied that he and the man he was fighting do so frequently enough that people only care anymore if they happen to destroy furniture.
* Also happens, of all places, in a ''[[Bionicle]]'' book, ''Raid on Vulcanus''. After the first attempt at the titular raid has been thwarted, [[Jerkass]] Strakk starts a fight with the chef at Vulcanus' inn, prompting the temperamental Kiina to step in between. Strakk then gets into a full-blown brawl with her, wrecking the place.
Line 141:
== Music Videos ==
* [[Linkin Park]]'s video for "Bleed It Out" is a [[Performance Video]] with a massive barroom brawl carrying on around them... ''in reverse.''
* [[Pink]]'s music video for "Trouble" has P!nk as a [[Ladette]] who starts one of these.
* The [http://everything2.com/title/The+True+Story+of+the+Bridgewater+Astral+League plot notes] for ''[[The World Inferno Friendship Society|The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League]]'' have one of these breaking out during "Tarot Americaine", while Jack and his friends are getting drunk at the Sweetwater Tavern [[To Absent Friends|after his sister's funeral]].
