"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"
Fight scenes occur in strange places in works of fiction to the point where several tropes have been made regarding the most common places where the action takes place. These tropes provide a great deal of suspense and excitement for the audience. Not only are they seeing violence in what is normally a very mundane location, making the fight scenes more intense, but the locations themselves offer different obstacles and dangers for the combatants, sure to make things more interesting. This index is dedicated to these tropes. If a fight scene occurs outside of a war zone, arena, dojo, ring, or other location specifically designed for a fight and it's a trope, then it goes here.
