* The action thriller ''Film/Snowpiercer'' takes place on a train, so all unfolding fight scenes resemble hallway fights.

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 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.

Once inside, however, it's actually a long corridor (the extra space is used for storing, of all things, cannons)., with the miniboss being a giant armored lizard swinging an EpicFlail. To get past him without getting smashed to bits, Link has to hookshot the ceiling behind the lizard and drop down.
