Something About Rooftops (Episode Thirteen, “A Cold Day in Hell’s Kitchen”) – Daredevil and Elektra and Nobu and the Hand. The brutal battle ends with eight dead guys in orange and a much bloodied Punisher. In stark white, Frank man-ups and chops a path through them with a knife and his fists, even pausing long enough to gouge out an eye here and there. Paid-off guards open cell doors and angry prisoners bear down on Castle like a swarm of bees. At the bottom, a flickering red light accentuates a devil who’s had enough of thugs for a long, long while.Įight Guys in Orange (Episode Nine, “Seven Minutes in Heaven”) – Frank Castle, now known as “The Punisher,” ends up in prison and under a death sentence by the also-incarcerated Wilson Fisk. The battle quickly shifts to a stairwell and in one long shot, our hero fights his way down the stairs, tumbling and punching up a storm. That Stairwell Fight (Episode Three, “New York’s Finest”) – Thought they couldn’t top that hallway fight from Season 1, huh? Well, this one begins in a hallway, too, with Daredevil fighting a small army of gang members with nothing but an empty gun duct-taped to his hand and a chain. Down below, both men try to grab a few precious breaths, but Daredevil took a worse pounding and everything goes up while he goes down. The two seem evenly matched, but under a hail of police sniper bullets, Castle one-ups Murdock and sends him crashing through a skylight from the rooftop they’ve been fighting on. Punishing Blows (Episode Two, “Dogs to a Gunfight”)– Daredevil’s onto the new vigilante in town, Frank Castle, and there’s no way a fight’s not going to break out. He’s too wild, too undisciplined at that moment, and he goes down hardunder the punishing fists of the Man Without Fear. Matt’s his usual martial arts-boxing self, but the Kingpin’s a rage machine, throwing punches like a drunken sailor and bellowing a lot. The big man’s on the run and angry over the loss of “his” city when he runs into his nemesis in an alleyway. Unlike some of the series’ previous battles, this one rolls out with little finesse, at least on Fisk’s part. Knocking Down Fisk (Episode Thirteen, “Daredevil”) – It all led up to this, the final showdown between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk. Somehow, our hero gets his second wind one spark and a pool of flammable liquid later and Nobu’s a human briquette. Murdock confronts him in a warehouse and impresses Nobu with his talent for fighting, but the warrior whips up a storm with his kyoketsu-shogeweapon and having planted its edge in Matt’s back, proceeds to drag him across the floor with it. What a Drag (Episode Nine, “Speak of the Devil”) – Japanese warrior Nobu hit town to pave the way for the Black Sky, but gained an enemy in the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Matt wins and then tells his mentor turned opponent to get out of his city. Ultimately, Stick tries to choke Matt, but doesn’t realize the student’s finally grown past the teacher. Stick-Up (Episode Seven, “Stick”) – Matt’s mentor and trainer Stick shows up, but angers the blind attorney by announcing he’s killed a boy who might be the infamous “Black Sky.” The fight destroys nearly every stick of Matt’s furniture and it seems like the old man’s got the upper hand, until his former pupil picks up a, yeah, stick and gains the edge on him. He never gives up until the battle’s won, though, and we can’t look away for a second. The men seem out of it, but then pick themselves up to take their licks again, while Matt exhaustion oozes off the screen. For nearly three minutes this fight ebbs and flows down a single corridor and in and out of rooms along it as Matt whales on gangsters over and over again. Matt Murdock took that bait, but brought his strength, stamina, and tenacity with him. That Hallway Scene (Episode Two, “Cut Man”) – The set-up’s simple: Russian thugs set a trap for the vigilante of Hell’s Kitchen by kidnapping and holding a young boy as bait.
