Casino Service Tunnel Run — Kitchen Corridor Fight

Single-take fight short, 11 seconds, 16:9 — one continuous Steadicam shot down a casino's steam-filled service corridor, where a card sharp in a rumpled tuxedo fights four security guards with kitchenware and the camera never cuts. 0-3s: The shot opens weaving through the steam: hanging pots clanging overhead, a tray cart overturned, heat lamps glowing over plated dishes. The card sharp backs into frame, bow tie undone — and the first guard rushes; the sharp seizes a hanging saute pan and rings it off the guard's head, sending him into the tray cart. 3-6s: No cut — the camera weaves through the hanging pots as the sharp sends a serving tray spinning like a shield into the second guard's face, then vaults the overturned cart; the third guard grabs him and they crash through a rack of plates in a ceramic explosion. 6-9s: The last guard corners him by the steam valves; the sharp cranks a valve open — a white steam-burst blinds the guard — and the knockout punch lands through the steam, the guard folding over a prep table. 9-11s: The sharp straightens his tuxedo jacket, pockets a dinner roll, and bursts through the kitchen's swinging doors into the noise — frantic, inventive, farcical-brutal.
