The prototype for this might be the older movie gimmick in which the hero/bad guy is on the run and flees via different people’s apartments ... seems like there is something along those lines in Out of the Past? But the multiple-apartment fight thing, I dunno.

I think this originated with Ferris Bueller!

Bourne scene in morocco is an awesome example of this iirc

Raising Arizona

in the 80s this was always an opportunity for a gratuitous boob shot

arnold would be all ‘did i disturb u’

this trope probably goes back to like 1902 or something, but I feel like Hitchcock was the first guy to master it?

oh hey todd
