History Main / ExecutiveSuiteFight

* The first three levels of ''PerfectDark'' take place in the evil MegaCorp [=dataDyne's=] headquarters, as well as one of the bonus levels.

** There was also the Lords' Estate in ''A Dame To Kill For'', which was the setting for two major fights, including the climax.

* ''[[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]'', of course, has the confrontation of Mace Windu and his Jedi vs. Palpatine and Anakin take place in the Chancellor's office. Although surprisingly little expensive artwork is damaged in the fight, it does feature the easily-breakable window.

* The last mission of ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}} Absolution'' takes place at the top of an upscale housing complex. One method of killing the final boss's moll, Layla ("I should've been a nun... But I like to fuck."), is to spike her food with a poison frog extract, conveniently on display in the boss' showroom. This causes Layla to hallucinate and leap off the building while attempting to fly. Whoops.

Plus, of course, it tends to be an excellent set piece: expensive-looking works of art to throw, leather couches to tumble over, white marble columns to slam heads into, expensive-looking statuary to shred with gunfire in slow-mo, and, of course, the [[SuperWindowJump surprisingly easily broken picture window]] right above a twenty-story drop; that's always fun.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', the final battle takes place in Belger's office, ending with you knocking him out of the window. The exact same thing happens in the ''FinalFight'' episode of the ''StreetFighter'' cartoon. Belger's wheelchair-bound and uses a crossbow to fight you, by the way, making this one of the more bizarre examples.

[[AC:{{Television}}]]

* The final level of the first ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' game involves shooting your way ''into'' the executive suite, but by the time you get there the BigBad is already making a run for their helicopter. [[spoiler:So you drop a handy radio antenna on it before it can take off.]]

* Happens in the video game ''[[DefJamSeries Def Jam: Fight for New York]]''. It is ''really friggin' hard'' to finish the fight without knocking Snoop Dogg's character out of a window.

* Operation 925 and Ziba Tower maps from ''Close Quarters'' DLC in [[''Videogame/Battlefield3'']]. The former is an office suite, the latter is a luxury penthouse complex.
* Part of some maps in [[''Videogame/Battlefield4'']], notably the penthouse suite in Siege of Shanghai, the office complex in Operation Dawnbreaker, and the hotel in Hainan Resort.

* Operation 925 and Ziba Tower maps from ''Close Quarters'' DLC in ''Videogame/Battlefield3''. The former is an office suite, the latter is a luxury penthouse complex.
* Part of some maps in ''Videogame/Battlefield4'', notably the penthouse suite in Siege of Shanghai, the office complex in Operation Dawnbreaker, and the hotel in Hainan Resort.

* Though its not the final confrontation, about midway through ''Videogame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' Adam faces off against a dozen heavily-armed Belltower soldiers in the private offices of Tai Yong Medical's CEO. Can be played straight if Jensen's heavily armed and specc'd to kick ass and take names, or it can be subverted if you've gotten the cloaking upgrade and slip out through a convenient air vent.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Spider-Man}}'' video game for the Super Nintendo, Spider-Man must fight his way through J. Jonah Jameson's penthouse suite to fight Smythe. That, however, isn't the last level--[[TheAlcatraz The Vault]] is.

* In ''[[Franchise/SlyCooper Sly Cooper and the Thieveus Raccoonus]]'', after working his way through the deserted streets of Mesa City, Utah, Sly confronts the mob boss Muggshot in his executive suite lair atop the tallest building in town.

* ''VideoGame/ThePunisher 2005'' video game. The luxurious penthouse battle (which belongs to the Kingpin, see above) actually takes place midway through a level about five levels before the end. Yes, someone does get tossed out the window. Then the Punisher has to escape the penthouse, back downstairs and out the front door.

* ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII FFVII]]'': Since the first major portion of the game all takes place in one city, Shinra Headquarters becomes the first of the game's DiscOneFinalDungeon. Subverted as when you arrive at [[CorruptCorporateExecutive President Shinra's]] office [[spoiler:he's already been killed by Sephiroth. Played straight with the boss fight between Cloud and Rufus on the office balcony]].

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' has a very brief and [[[=CurbstompBattle=] very one-sided fight]] during Thane's recruitment mission, where Thane drops in on Nassana Dantius' guards and massacres the entire room in a couple of seconds.

So, your [=BadAss=] AntiHero has just spent the whole night [[BeatEmUp brawling]] through [[WretchedHive the dirty, rain-soaked city]]. The city is empty, the PaletteSwap and UndergroundMonkey gangs have been thrown behind bars, the QuirkyMiniBossSquad has made a hilarious getaway, TheDragon has been reduced to a quivering heap in an alley, and you've [[HyperactiveMetabolism eaten more chicken-legs-randomly-found-under-boxes]] than is probably healthy. It's time to end the reign of terror that has plagued the city once and for all...

* Whereas the ''entire'' first season of FistOfTheNorthStar takes place in a fallout-blanketed and crumbling post-apocalyptic desert wasteland, [[TheHero Kenshiro's]] final confrontation with his RivalTurnedEvil best-friend Shin takes place in a cleanly polished, cavernous throne-room of marble and gold.
* The climax of ''CowboyBebop'' takes place in the executive room at the top of a skyscraper owned by TheSyndicate, which is absurdly gilded and roomy.

* ''StarWars: Episode III'', of course, has the confrontation of Mace Windu and his Jedi vs. Palpatine and Anakin take place in the Chancellor's office. Although surprisingly little expensive artwork is damaged in the fight, it does feature the easily-breakable window.

* The end of ''{{Equilibrium}}'' takes place in an office deliberately designed to be artistic and over the top, compared to the grey blankness of the city itself. There's gold all over the place, the light shines bright, there's art hanging on the walls. It would have been even more glorious if they hadn't run out of budget.

* In ''DieHardArcade'', the leader of the kidnappers, White Fang, remains in a penthouse office throughout the story ala Hans Gruber. When you finally reach him, the office turns into a diabolical trap, [[SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom with panels extending from the wall to crush you]].

* Armando Mendez, an antagonist of ''GrandTheftAutoViceCityStories'', is cornered in his mansion on Prawn Island. He uses a flamethrower to fend off the player. This is a rare instance of an indoor battle in the GTA series.

* In ''[[SlyCooper Sly Cooper and the Thieveus Raccoonus]]'', after working his way through the deserted streets of Mesa City, Utah, Sly confronts the mob boss Muggshot in his executive suite lair atop the tallest building in town.
* ''{{Manhunt}}'': James Earl Cash's final battle with Starkweather takes place in the penthouse suite.

* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'' series: Mr. X's office is the final battle of the first two games. ''StreetsOfRage 3'' subverts this by having you fight a Mr. X in his office, but it explodes, revealing it to be a robot.

* ''VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' has you climbing up to [[spoiler: La Croix's penthouse]] for the grand finale. Subverted in that the boss battle doesn't take place: [[spoiler: La Croix]] turns out to be a wimp.
* At the end of ''FatalFury'', your character is snatched off the winner's circle of the King of Fighters tournament and carried up to Geese Howard's office atop Geese Tower, where he tries to kill you himself. The final battle of ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'' sees your character invading the office himself or herself.
** The same thing happens in the ''[[SNKVsCapcom Capcom v/s SNK]]'' first game, if you get Geese as your FinalBoss instead of Bison.

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' has a very brief and [[CurbstompBattle very one-sided fight]] during Thane's recruitment mission, where Thane drops in on Nassana Dantius' guards and massacres the entire room in a couple of seconds.

* The FinalBoss of NoMoreHeroes2, who will teach you to [[ThatOneBoss seriously hate]] that [[DestinationDefenestration massive window]].
* In the ''{{Spider-Man}}'' video game for the Super Nintendo, Spider-Man must fight his way through J. Jonah Jameson's penthouse suite to fight Smythe. That, however, isn't the last level--[[TheAlcatraz The Vault]] is.
* In ''SpecOpsTheLine'', Colonel Konrad's HQ is on the penthouse suite of the Burj Khalifa. [[spoiler:Ultimately averted]].

* ''{{Dreamkeepers}}'' subverts this, as the fight in the suite wasn't the final fight or the BigBad.

So, your BadAss AntiHero has just spent the whole night [[BeatEmUp brawling]] through [[WretchedHive the dirty, rain-soaked city]]. The city is empty, the PaletteSwap and UndergroundMonkey gangs have been thrown behind bars, the QuirkyMiniBossSquad has made a hilarious getaway, TheDragon has been reduced to a quivering heap in an alley, and you've [[HyperactiveMetabolism eaten more chicken-legs-randomly-found-under-boxes]] than is probably healthy. It's time to end the reign of terror that has plagued the city once and for all...

* After ''RoboCop'' spends the entire movie beating up street-level thugs, the final battle takes place in the top-level executive boardroom of OCP Headquarters. And yes, someone goes through the window.
