*** "[[Recap/Daredevil2015E3E4Blindsided Blindsided]]" sees Matt have a continuous one-take fight that one-ups the season 1 fight. In this one, Matt visits Rikers to try to get information on Fisk's time there. Fisk finds out he's there, and a nurse on his payroll proceeds to attack Matt. Matt disarms the nurse but not before the man is able to inject him with a sedative. Fisk then calls Matt to tell him that this is retaliation for [[Recap/Daredevil2015S2E10TheManInTheBox the threats Matt made to keep Vanessa from him when Matt visited him last year]], then hangs up. Fisk directs a bunch of inmates to start a riot and attempt to kill Matt, forcing Matt to fight his way out down several corridors, get information from the Albanians on Jasper Evans, then escape escorted by an Albanian disguised as a guard, all before the sedatives can kick in. This one is a true ''ten minute long'' [[TheOner one-take fight]], with zero cuts at all.

A Hallway Fight, as the name implies, takes place in a corridor. The fighters are more or less forced to go in one direction while the narrow and cramped quarters force them into a more claustrophobic battle. Because of these restraints, the fights can be very close and quite brutal. If the director so chooses, it can also be the perfect opportunity for TheOner. It can also be a way to HandWave the MookChivalry trope as multiple opponents often have to come one-by-one.

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'': The final season features a three-on-one fight with Maggie, Elijah, and Negan going up against Brandon Carver, a member of the villainous Reapers. Even though the heroes are all badasses in their own right, Carver is a bloodthirsty Afghanistan war vet who quickly turns the tables on them. Elijah also [[WorfHadTheFlu is suffering from a wounded leg]] despite being perhaps the most vicious of the three heroes present. Negan only wins the fight for the heroes when he distracts Carver with a bell he displays prominently, and then throws sand into his face, giving him the opportunity to finally knock Carver down. Even then, Carver has to be knocked unconscious by Daryl.
