History Main / SlaughterhouseFight

* ''Film/{{Predator 2}}'': Keyes and his DEA team plan to capture the Predator in a slaughterhouse, filling the air with dust to foil its InvisibilityCloak, while the low temperatures and some special suits will render his team invisible to thermal vision. [[DidNotThinkThisThrough Unfortunately for the feds]], the Predator still has ''ears'', and its CoolMask comes with [[DidntSeeThatComing additional vision modes]].

A fight that takes place in a slaughterhouse, amongst the meat chunks hanging from the hooks. Adds a certain edge to a confrontation, surrounding it with death from the onset and simultaneously blocking the line of sight in all directions. Expect NoOSHACompliance and a ConveyorBeltODoom. Bonus point if the place doubles as a SickeningSlaughterhouse.

* ''Film/{{Predator 2}}'': The chilly temperatures to keep the meat from spoiling are a plot point.
