This scene proves what fans suspected: when these four stop arguing, they are devastating. The choreography, directed by S.J. Clarkson, mirrors a comic book splash page in motion.
Knowing the only way to permanently stop the Hand is to destroy the dragon skeleton, the heroes decide to bring the entire building down. Colleen Wing and Claire Temple plant C4 explosives in the engine room while the others fight below.
The fight is visceral and claustrophobic. There are no quips, only exhausted grunts and shattered concrete. Luke absorbs blows meant for Danny. Jessica uses a steel I-beam as a battering ram. Matt moves like a ghost, broken ribs be damned. Danny’s fist glows, but he hesitates—he still believes he can save Elektra.
