In many movies with fight scenes, rain will fall from the sky to add drama to the battle, even if no indication of rain appeared before. Bonus points if rain falls during the final battle.
The hero and villain are staring each other down. The entire movie has built up to this...One. Final. Moment. And then out of nowhere, it starts to rain...
Wait, what?
You don't think much of your audience, do you? Obviously, they were so excited by the cool gunfighting or the kung-fu moves that they don't care about the scenery or the story or the special effects that your crew worked so hard to get working. So how do you emphasize the drama in this epic fight scene? Simple, just add water, lots and lots of it pouring down from the sky, even if there was no indication of any rain falling beforehand. Of course, even though there might be a torrential downpour for no reason, there's a good chance that the water won't cause anyone to slip and fall, or lose their balance, or obscure their vision as they fight...but hey, the water is supposed to build extra drama, not actually affect the fight scene!
Sometimes overlaps Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain.
