* Another ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Oldboy|2003}}'' is ''VideoGame/Sifu'', where the student fights through a hallway in the slums, being shot in a similar way to the Oldboy scene.

* ''Series/CobraKai:'' "No Mercy." Tory confronts Sam at the intersection of the locker room area in what was meant to be [[DesignatedGirlFight between only the two of them]]. Instead, it sparks an all out MobWar between the RivalDojos that takes place throughout the school's corridors and shows just how ''brutal'' [[RealityEnsues a close quarters fight between two groups of teens who hate each other and all have legitimate karate training would actually be]].

* ''VideoGame/TwilightPrincess'': The ice dungeon's miniboss room appears on the map as a circle, as with all the other. 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 behind to attack hi unarmored tail.

** And finally, [[spoiler:Luke Skywalker]] vs. every single Dark Trooper, which [[spoiler:Luke]] wins handily. The similarities with [[spoiler:Darth Vader's fight in ''Film/RogueOne'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keq6Hd-oNz8 have been dully noted]] and are certainly not a coincidence.]]

* In ''Film/{{Oldboy|2003}}'', Oh Dae-Su fights his way through a long hallway of mooks, armed with a hammer. It is perhaps the most well known action sequence in the movie due to it's intense level of violence and for being TheOner.

* In the third season of ''Series/Lucifer2016'', there's a scene where the title character enters a Korean drug dealer's hideout and proceeds to deliver a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to the {{Mooks}} - all set to, most appropriately, "Lucifer" by Music/SHINee.

** ''Series/LukeCage2016'': In "[[Recap/LukeCage2016S1E3WhosGonnaTakeTheWeight Who's Gonna Take the Weight]]", Luke Cage attacks Crispus Attucks, the location of Cottonmouth's main stash, using his SuperStrength to bulldoze his way through Cottonmouth's henchmen in three different hallways before finding the vault where all of the money is stashed.

* Off-screen example in ''Videogame/EvilGenius'', in which the greatest triumph of Super Agent [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Jet Chan]] was defeating an evil genius who built a long, narrow lair which ran the length of the Great Wall of China. Chan reportedly used the lair's layout to his advantage, forcing the genius' {{mooks}} to fight him one-on-one rather than let them gang up on him.

* ''WebVideo/AnimeCrimesDivision'': Season 2 has Joe get in a hallway fight when he visits Prestige TV City, a city dedicated to beloved western shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones instead of anime. It's even lampshaded with an original song playing in the background all about how you have to have a hallway fight scene now.

* In the ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' episode "[[Recap/DoomPatrol2019S1E03PuppetPatrol Puppet Patrol]]" Robotman bloodily dispatches a squad of Heinrich Von Fuchs HiveMind [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi minions]] in a hallway of the Fuchtopia facility.

After taking out a dozen fighters armed with tranquilizer guns, he is eventually overpowered by a second wave. He is about to be captured when Luke suddenly breaks down the doors and they fight their way out. They burst out through the wall into the nearby hallway just as Matt and Jessica arrive. After an awkward exchange as Luke and Jessica recognize each other, they find themselves pinned down, with Elektra approaching on one side and a bunch of goons coming from the elevator and stairwells. Luke, Jessica and Danny handle the henchmen while Matt fights Elektra one-on-one.

* ''Film/{{Inception}}'' features a hallway fight between Arthur and a nameless mook. Because they are inside the dreaming mind of a person in a rolling vehicle, the two men end up grappling as the [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning hallway rotates]] and they flop this way and that.
* In ''Film/TheMatrix'', the FinalBattle between Neo and Agent Smith takes place in a building hallway inside the Matrix.

*** Season 3 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 directs a bunch of inmates to start a riot and attempt to kill Matt, forcing Matt to fight his way out down several corridors. This one is a true ''ten minute long'' [[TheOner one-take fight]], which not only sees Matt fight inmates and guards in Fisk's pocket, but also get information on Fisk out of the Albanians in the prison, and convince them to get the guards they own to help smuggle Matt out of the prison.

*** In "[[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E2CutMan Cut Man]]", Matt Murdock [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B66feInucFY fights his way through a hallway full of Russian mobsters to rescue a kidnapped boy]]. This is considered the signature one of the hallway fights, since [[TheOner it's shot in one take with no cuts]].

*** Season 3 has one between Matt and a bunch of Riker's inmates loyal to Fisk.
