The friction between two (or more) rival crime factions has broken out and exploded into all out warfare. This can happen between two groups of the same type/nationality (for example two Mafia families going at it) or between multiple nationalities (e.g., The Mafiya taking on a Yakuza group). Two groups of Gangbangers getting into a turf war to settle things once and for all also counts, as does The Syndicate clashing with another Syndicate or group.
This may be portrayed as an organized crime version of Feuding Families, and as with many portrayals of Feuding Families both sides are evil, while sometimes the conflict is a more black-and-grey between Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters and Ruthless Foreign Gangsters. Sometimes, the war comes from conflict between two factions within a single group, which tends to be a particularly bitter and usually short conflict. In this case it often doesn't matter who wins or loses, as the victor usually finds that their criminal empire has been smashed beyond repair by the conflict.
You'll often see characters express an apparently sincere desire to avoid a mob war — members of these criminal gangs are frequently portrayed as businessmen obsessed with profit, and they know well that a mob war is bad for business. Mob bosses and their henchmen will often invest significant time and energy into finding all sorts of ways to strike back at the opposing side without triggering a full-on war. They usually fail, for reasons of dramatic necessity (in which case an Escalating War is the result).
Expect to see at least half of the Guns and Gunplay Tropes put into effect, as well as lots of Stuff Blowing Up and lots of Gorn. Compare Enemy Civil War, which is when Mooks from the same faction are duking it out within their ranks, though there can be some overlap.

Wonder Woman (1987): All of Boston ends up in the crossfire of the fight between Paulie Longo and Julianna Sazia for control of the mob. The war looks a bit different from the stereotypical since while there are plenty of guns Paulie hired a powerful Black Magic user to back him up and Widow Sazia started hiring henchmen with lots of body mods, she also threatened several of Paulie's supporters into becoming her cyborg henchmen.

Arrow: This is Helena Bertinelli's plan to avenge her fiancé Michael, who was killed by her father because he thought Michael was a mole for the FBI (he wasn't — Helena was the one talking to the feds). She weakens his organization by anonymously assassinating several of his key officers and men, and then kills the head of the Triad (the prime suspects for the assassinations, of whom Frank Bertinelli personally accused right to their faces) to instigate the war. With the Bertinelli Family as weak as it is, they would assuredly be wiped out. Both Oliver and the police want to prevent this, as while a mob war would wipe out one of the organizations, it would also likely involve several innocent lives getting stuck in the crossfire as well.

The second season of Fargo focuses largely on a war between the Gerhardt Crime Family in Fargo and the Kansas City Mafia. The Gerhardts are trying to keep their territory while Kansas City is trying to usurp it from them. In the end, Kansas City wins through almost no action of their own. The local representative of the Kansas mob is killed and most of their men either dead or arrested, but the Gerhardts' internal strife and their betrayal by Hanzee Dent at the Sioux Falls Massacre wipes out the remainder of their gang and leadership.

Criminal Case:
Criminal Case: Grimsborough features a three-way mob war between The Vipers, The Skulls, and the Italian mafia happening in the Industrial Area, which ends when Salvador Cordero, leader of The Vipers, is murdered by Tony Marconi, The Don of the mafia, putting the latter in prison and technically making The Skulls the winners of the conflict.
Criminal Case: Pacific Bay shows that the Chinese and Russian communities of Inner City have been in conflict for a long time thanks to their leaders, Sue Xiong and Nikolai Kamarov, being former Star-Crossed Lovers that were forced to split by their families. Thankfully, the conflict ends in a relatively minor note when Nikolai gets murdered by his own son and his successor decides to put an end to the Russian's rivalry with the Chinese, with only a few casualties happening as a result of it.
One of the main Story Arcs of Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past is putting a stop at an imminent all-out war brewing between the Italian and the Irish gangs of Concordia, with most of the conflict happening in the districts of Sinner's End (which is Irish territory), Coyote Gorge (controlled by the Italians), and Crimson Banks (where both communities mostly coexist in peace). Unfortunately, the police department is too late to prevent the war from occurring in the climax of the arc, and is only after too many gang members die or get too injured to keep fighting that everything starts to settle down.

The Simpsons: Played for Laughs in "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson". When Marge's homemade pretzel business is about to fail, Homer hires The Mafia to help. This works wonders until they come to take all of the profits for themselves. The mob is about to kill Marge and Homer for refusing to turn over the money when a group of Yakuza hired by Marge's business rivals arrive, and start a brawl with the mafia, leading to the two gangs forgetting about everything except fighting each other. After a while the two groups just keep brawling in the front yard while the Simpsons family go about their usual business indoors.

Gotham spends most of its first season hovering under the threat of, and having a few near brushes with, one of these breaking out between rival crime bosses Falcone and Maroni. Cobblepot states that such a conflict is inevitable, and that when it happens "blood will run in the streets". And in the penultimate episode, he ensures it happens, staging a False Flag Operation to make Maroni think Falcone tried to kill him, and kickstarting the war.

Occurs in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' "City at War" arc, with three factions—the local branch of the Foot, the Purple Dragons, and the generically-named "Mob"—fighting for control of the New York City underworld in the wake of the power vacuum created by the Shredder's apparent death.
The Turtles (and even Splinter) feel they should not be involved, since their interference in the war would only make it worse. But Leo, feeling responsible for it since they're the ones who've taken out the Shredder, just can't ignore it, and takes it upon himself to deal with it.
The Purple Dragons tried to break away from the Foot, until gang leader Hun returned to stop it, due to his Undying Loyalty to the Shredder.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans: Happens within the mafia-yakuza-esque business organization Teiwaz, when Jasley Donomikols teams up with a Gjallarhorn commander to take out rival gangster Naze, and later tries to go directly for McMurdo himself. Jasley's attempt to usurp power gets quashed pretty quickly however, when McMurdo makes a deal with Gjallarhorn that cuts Iok off from helping Jasley and has Tekkadan resign as a Teiwaz subsidiary so they can go after him.

Borderlands 2 has a well-loved sidequest arc where the Vault Hunters start a War for Fun and Profit and break the truce between two Feuding Families (who are both over-the-top stereotypes of Irishmen and rednecks respectively), in a parody of the 1920s "Beer Wars". This starts from simple pranks to piss both families off, then it gets increasingly brutal from there until the final mission, where you have to kill the godfather of whatever family annoys you more and their entire honor guard in a bloody firefight at the local train station.

Narcos:
While Escobar is a rival to the Cali godfathers, for much of the series they maintain an uneasy detente. However, throughout season 2 he is also fighting off splinter groups of his own cartel, all the while the government is on an endless hunt for him. Cali also gets involved indirectly, as Medellin's fall would give them a virtual monopoly over the Colombian cocaine market.
In season 3, after Gilberto Rodriguez is imprisoned, the vassal Valley North cartel smells blood and turns on the Cali Cartel, carrying out assassination attempts on both Miguel Rodriguez and Pacho Herrera. Despite Gilberto's pleas, Miguel orders to fight back.
In season 5, tensions between the Tijuana and Sinaloa chapters of the Guadalajara Cartel reach a fever pitch, with the final straw being Sinaloa building a tunnel on Tijuana territory to skirt the 10% tax Felix placed on them. A series of killings and reprisal killings ensues, until Felix puts a stop to it by decapitating the Sinaloa organization, since he can't afford to lose the west coast corridor.
In season 6, the plazas have become their independent Cartels, but Tijuana and Sinaloa start another war after previously agreeing to a truce immediately following Felix's downfall. The Arellanos start abusing their superior position to tax the poorer Sinaloans even more and refuse any resolution that would satisfy the latter. The resulting violence between the two groups eventually gathers national and international attention when they accidentally murder a beloved cardinal during a shoot-out, which deeply shocks the majorly Catholic country.

Blades in the Dark is pretty much Mob Wars: The Role-Playing Game. Not only is the game's default opening situation a turf war between the Lampblacks and the Red Sashes over the drug distribution business in The City Narrows, but the player characters (who form their own gang at character creation) are fully expected, nay, encouraged to start muscling in on other gangs' turf as soon as they have the resources for it.

In The Dresden Files: Small Favor, the possibility of a mob war breaking out in Chicago is the least of the problems caused by the disappearance of Marcone, albeit still one of great concern to Dresden, and something which he uses to secure cooperation and a vital clue from one of Marcone's employees.
Marcone's rise to power was caused by a power vacuum from the aftermath of a mob war.

A Fistful of Dollars, the first film of the Dollars Trilogy, features this with the Baxters and the Rojos, two families vying for control in a small town.
And the remake Last Man Standing does this again, except with Italian and Irish mobs replacing them.
And the film which both of them are remakes of, Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, did it in Japan.
Which in turn may also have been based on the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Harvest: See the Literature example below.

In Risk It All, there's been long-standing friction between the Snake-Flower Triads and the mafia led by Black Mask for some time before the start of the story, as shown by how quick Black Mask is to shoot Ren. Due to being mistaken for a member of the Triads in his vigilante identity, Ren inadvertently reignites war between the two factions, starting with Black Mask's lackeys trying to shoot up a diner.

Spider-Man (PS4):
Following the Kingpin's arrest, the remnants of his organization come under fire from a mysterious superpowered Chinese gang called the Inner Demons. Initially, everyone assumes this conflict is about some dangerous upstarts trying to establish themselves by carving out territory from Kingpin's crumbling empire, but that's all just a smokescreen. What the Demons are really after is the Kingpin's secret leverage on Mayor Norman Osborn and his illicit caches of military-grade firearms and explosives, and the "turf war" is simply a means to an end to acquire those from him. Once they have them, the Demons break off from the war to focus on their real objective: domestic terrorism against Mayor Osborn.
The second of The City That Never Sleeps DLC campaigns, Turf Wars, focuses on a more traditional one within the Maggia, as Hammerhead and his clan attempt to assert their dominance within New York's underworld by wiping out the other Maggia families.

Luke Cage (2016): The gangsters in Harlem are as much at war with each other as they are with Luke Cage. Season 1 sees a gang war between Cottonmouth and Domingo break out after some Harlem youths shoot up a gun deal between the two. Season 2 revolves around Harlem being the subject of a war as the Brooklyn-based Stylers decide to go to war with Mariah Dillard as Bushmaster seeks revenge for the deaths of his parents at the hands of Mariah's grandparents. After Mariah is arrested, there's another gang war that breaks out as the Koreans and Italians and Puerto Ricans fight to take control of Mariah's turf, which is resolved by Luke taking over Harlem's Paradise.

A common plot device of most of the Grand Theft Auto games (especially Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, where it's the main plot of the game). Even gangs that are at war with yours won't open fire unless you attack first in most of these games, with Grand Theft Auto III being the notable exception (some of the gangs become so hostile eventually that it's nearly impossible just to drive a car through their neighborhood without having it blown up by shotgun fire).
Turf wars are a major gameplay elements in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, first popping up towards the end of the Los Santos chapter, and then again towards the finale, where CJ is required to hold a certain amount of territory before certain story missions unlock.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, Lamar tries to use a series of False Flag attacks to provoke a war between the Ballas and the Vagos.

Sons of Anarchy has an ever-shifting balance of power between the eponymous motorcycle club, their Mexican equivalents, the local neo-Nazis, the nearby black and Chinese gangs, and a splinter faction of the IRA.
Keeping the Sons out of a mob war is a recurring theme in the series. They are quite satisfied with the status quo and an open conflict with any of the other factions is likely to severely weaken the club or even destroy it. They are very good at finding out the weakness of an enemy and striking a mutually beneficial deal to avoid a war.
The Sons were involved in a bloody mob war years before the series began and although they won, they came out of it very weak and still feel the effects of it.
When Clay gets the Sons involved with a Mexican drug cartel, they end up in the middle of a mob war between two rival cartels and a Son is killed in an ambush.
Tig gets the Sons into a mob war when he accidentally kills the daughter of one of LA's biggest drug lords. Subverted in the end because the drug lord finds the Sons to be too useful to destroy, calls off the war and instead settles for personal retribution on Tig alone.
After many years of casualties and setbacks, the Sons try to get out of the gun trade for good by hooking up their Irish supplier with the most powerful black gang. This shift in the balance of power is unacceptable to the Mexican and Chinese gangs, who soon join forces against the black-white alliance. Jax then provokes a war with the Chinese because of a personal vendetta.

There Will Be Brawl occurs to the backdrop of public unrest due to a mob war going on between gangs controlled by Mewtwo, Ganondorf, King Dedede and Bowser. Also slightly subverted by the fact that neither Dedede or Bowser were trying to fight a war. Ganon eventually brings down all the mobs, only to be killed himself.

A much smaller scale version appeared in the second season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Here, the aged Silvermane thought the Kingpin was weak (for failing to eliminate Spider-Man, natch) and not fit for his position. The two sides were determined to dispose of the other, though their conflict didn't engulf the whole city.

During The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank arc, Soap persuades Frank to rescue a capo held hostage by South American narcotraffickers, as only his authority can prevent a brewing Mob War from spilling into the streets and harming innocents. Frank agrees, and once the mob boss is back in New York, he calls a meeting to discuss how to get back in the game instead of attacking each other for money and territories: killing the Punisher. Frank then calls the mobster, asking if he ever questioned Frank's motives. That is, less "prevent a mob war" and more "have all the Mafia leaders in the same room at the same time". Cue Frank, holding a belt-fed machine gun.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk gets into one with the Russians due to Matt Murdock busting up their operation. After he kills Anatoly for interrupting his date with Vanessa, he uses some machinations so that Vladimir will prepare his men to go to war with Fisk, not realizing Fisk has sent suicide bombers to take out him and his men. At the start of season 3, there's brief retaliation from the Albanians for Fisk's snitching on them to Ray Nadeem in the form of an ambush on the motorcade transferring him to the Presidential Hotel (what prompted said transfer, though—Fisk being shanked—was actually something Fisk arranged for Jasper Evans to give to him).
The Punisher (2017): It had been revealed in Daredevil (2015) season 2 that Frank Castle's family was killed in an apparent gang shootout between three rival gangs. Which then turned out to be a police sting gone south, and which was ultimately revealed in Frank's own show to have been all a False Flag Operation sanctioned by William Rawlins to take out Frank, who he thought had leaked a tape of the torture of Ahmed Zubair.
Luke Cage (2016): The gangsters in Harlem are as much at war with each other as they are with Luke Cage. Season 1 sees a gang war between Cottonmouth and Domingo break out after some Harlem youths shoot up a gun deal between the two. Season 2 revolves around Harlem being the subject of a war as the Brooklyn-based Stylers decide to go to war with Mariah Dillard as Bushmaster seeks revenge for the deaths of his parents at the hands of Mariah's grandparents. After Mariah is arrested, there's another gang war that breaks out as the Koreans and Italians and Puerto Ricans fight to take control of Mariah's turf, which is resolved by Luke taking over Harlem's Paradise.
Iron Fist (2017): Season 2 reveals that, with the destruction of the Hand in The Defenders (2017), a power vacuum has been left in the Chinatown criminal underworld. As a result of this, the Golden Tigers and Yangshi-Gonshi triads start fighting for control of the neighborhood. Which comes to a screeching halt as Davos starts killing people on both sides, causing them to ally against him.

Gangs of New York - In the movie it's immigrant Irish gangs vs. native-born Americans. In the book, it's basically every immigrant group vs. every other one. One memorable passage is about a street in the Lower East Side where all the Irish immigrants lived across the street from all the English immigrants. They'd go to work, go to their various pubs, get hammered, and then spill into the street and brawl almost every day.

Black Lagoon: This is a constant threat in Roanapur, as there are a number of criminal factions that tolerate the presence of the others, at present. However, it is noted that potential mob conflicts solve themselves once a third party gets involved: Roberta in the "El Baille de la Muerte" arc and Hansel and Grettel in the Vampire Twins arc. During the "Fujiyama Gangster Paradise" arc, Hotel Moscow also engages in a mob war against the Yakuza when visiting Japan, using more brutal tactics than the Yakuza are used to.

Batman: Arkham City: A massive gang war is going on between the three top supervillains in the Arkham City prison — Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face, based out of the steel mill, museum, and courthouse, respectively, with some other supervillains running around as well; the Mad Hatter seems to want to get a foothold in the war using mind control, but is ultimately a minor threat. As it turns out, all of the supervillains are being supplied with the guns and other weapons they're using, as well as information against each other, by Dr. Hugo Strange, who runs Arkham City, as pretense to activate Protocol 10: the attempted massacre of every single inmate in Arkham City, which includes some innocent civilians such as doctors trying to help everyone in there and people who simply knew too much about Arkham City's true purpose. The ultimate goal is to murder all the worst criminals in Gotham City and then do it again all over the world and replace Batman as Gotham's savior in the process.

The Punisher MAX: Frank's assassination of the centenarian Don Cesare at his birthday party (along with a great deal of the Cesare capos and soldiers) sparks multiple mob wars over the course of the series, all of which he does his best to encourage as it's less work for him.
The Cell is the MAX version of the Punisher's origin: Frank gets himself thrown into Ryker's so he can get at the five men indirectly responsible for the death of his family (the don's consigliere put a hit on him via his own hitman, and the two bodyguards opened fire at random when their boss was down but not out, killing Frank's family).
Nicky Cavella was an up-and-coming capo with a psycho rep who had the bright idea to intimidate the Triads by murdering their leader's sons. What he thought would send him on the fast track to promotion instead got him Reassigned to Antarctica as the dons thought he went too far (and ended up causing the Mob War he thought he was preventing). With Cesare's death, the dons were desperate enough to bring him back to deal with the Punisher. His even brighter idea was to desecrate Frank's family by pissing on their bones, filming it, and mailing the footage to the local news, to which Frank responded by hitting the Mafia even harder. Cavella was deserted by his goons once they realized he simply didn't have the intelligence to be a leader and ended up gutshot and dying over a few days.

If a hero operates in a city and the series lasts more than 60 issues, this WILL be a storyline. Batman and Spider-Man have both had multiple mob wars in their respective series. Batman's most notable was "War Games", which is started by his own plan being used by Stephanie Brown. Spider-Man's was most likely when The Kingpin was thought to be dead and all of New York City was crawling over each other to replace him.

Rose Guns Days is essentially about the confrontation, negotiations and changing alliances between Mafia families in the Tokyo district "City 23", in an Alternate History where China and the United States have remodeled Japan. The protagonist, Rose Haibara, is the head of a club of "ladies of the night" which eventually becomes a Mafia group, and its first antagonist is another Japanese mafia, the Caleb Family. Other groups include the Golden Dragon Society, a Chinese mafia controlling City 22 and part of City 23, and the American occupation army, which plays a important part in the balance of powers.

A major subplot in the second season of Rome deals with the various groups of the Roman underworld vying for control after a Power Vacuum opens up. This includes an all out showdown between the gang Vorenus created, (but being led by Pullo at that time) and another group.

Law & Order: The first-season two-part episode "The Torrents of Greed" had Assistant District Attorney Ben Stone unintentionally start a war among New York City's Mafia families when he got so close to indicting a major Mafia boss that the man killed his own brother-in-law to save himself - and was then killed by his own sister, the dead man's wife.

Meet the Feebles has a brief but action-packed one: Mr. Big has one of his goons, Louie, sell Mr. Bletch borax, telling him it's cocaine. When Bletch finds out, he has Louie killed and his cronies take him to the docks where the actual drugs are. They fight Mr. Big's gang, killing all but one of them, and later kill Mr. Big himself (though not before one of Bletch's goons gets killed as well). In the end, Bletch successfully obtains the drugs and has Trevor sell one to one of their employees.

Happens in Heat Guy J.
The head of the Wei family is not happy that Clair has been made head of the Leonelli family (One, it interferes with the Wei family's power, and two Clair is nucking futz.) He tries to absorb the Leonelli family into his own, and when that fails, slights Clair (and tries to poison him) at a luncheon/dinner. An all-out fight ensues, with great losses on both sides. Clair responds by sending a tanker truck full of napalm to the Wei family's district. Daisuke stops him, though. (In the manga, he dispenses with the napalm and has his girlfriend build a sexy gyndroid to seduce and strangle Wei. There is also no explicit mention of an all-out mob war, though that could simply be because the manga is so short.)
Happens again in a later episode. Clair has gone into hiding after being framed for a crime he didn't commit, and the Vita Board members want the money he has stashed away in a safe that opens via retinal scan. Each faction is out for its own interests, and fight against each other in an attempt to locate Clair and take his left eye.

Criminal Case: Pacific Bay shows that the Chinese and Russian communities of Inner City have been in conflict for a long time thanks to their leaders, Sue Xiong and Nikolai Kamarov, being former Star-Crossed Lovers that were forced to split by their families. Thankfully, the conflict ends in a relatively minor note when Nikolai gets murdered by his own son and his successor decides to put an end to the Russian's rivalry with the Chinese, with only a few casualties happening as a result of it.

Occurs in The Spectacular Spider-Man's "Criminology 101" arc, with characters such as Silvermane and his daughter Silver Sable, Doctor Octopus, and Roderick Kingsley (the latter only in the first episode of the arc) fighting The Big Man for control of... well, you can probably guess.
A much smaller scale version appeared in the second season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Here, the aged Silvermane thought the Kingpin was weak (for failing to eliminate Spider-Man, natch) and not fit for his position. The two sides were determined to dispose of the other, though their conflict didn't engulf the whole city.

And the remake Last Man Standing does this again, except with Italian and Irish mobs replacing them.
And the film which both of them are remakes of, Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, did it in Japan.
Which in turn may also have been based on the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Harvest: See the Literature example below.

Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk gets into one with the Russians due to Matt Murdock busting up their operation. After he kills Anatoly for interrupting his date with Vanessa, he uses some machinations so that Vladimir will prepare his men to go to war with Fisk, not realizing Fisk has sent suicide bombers to take out him and his men. At the start of season 3, there's brief retaliation from the Albanians for Fisk's snitching on them to Ray Nadeem in the form of an ambush on the motorcade transferring him to the Presidential Hotel (what prompted said transfer, though—Fisk being shanked—was actually something Fisk arranged for Jasper Evans to give to him).

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind There is an ongoing conflict between the ruthless, murderous native gangsters in the Camonna Tong and the Imperial import Thieves' Guild. While all-out war is not something either side can afford, the conflict is still nasty enough that even the usually violence-averse Guild orders Tong operatives to be killed and are in the process of outfitting their meeting places with deadly traps and guards.

Common in Reborn! (2004), considering its settings.
A pretty incompetent kid who is one day told that he is the next in line to be the Boss of the strongest Family in Italy.
A rather straight example is the whole of the Future Arc, which spans over four sub-arcs (in the manga; six in the anime).
After the Genre Shift from Slice of Life Comedy to Shōnen Fighter, this became the majority of the plot.

Team Fortress 2 has the "Gravel War" as its Excuse Plot. Back in the 1850s, two idiot brothers were willed acres of expensive but useless real estate by their father because he knew they'd spend the rest of their days fighting to seize the other's portion. Sure enough, Redmond and Blutarch Mann hired teams of mercenaries to battle over control points, briefcases full of intelligence documents, or bombs on minecarts. Thanks to life-extending technology, the conflict rages over a hundred years.

The Punisher's origin came when his family was killed in a botched mob hit during one of these.
On occasion, Frank has tried to take out the Kingpin, only to be prevented by the fact that killing the Kingpin would spark a gang war with inevitable civilian casualties (or Status Quo Is God).
The Punisher MAX: Frank's assassination of the centenarian Don Cesare at his birthday party (along with a great deal of the Cesare capos and soldiers) sparks multiple mob wars over the course of the series, all of which he does his best to encourage as it's less work for him.
The Cell is the MAX version of the Punisher's origin: Frank gets himself thrown into Ryker's so he can get at the five men indirectly responsible for the death of his family (the don's consigliere put a hit on him via his own hitman, and the two bodyguards opened fire at random when their boss was down but not out, killing Frank's family).
Nicky Cavella was an up-and-coming capo with a psycho rep who had the bright idea to intimidate the Triads by murdering their leader's sons. What he thought would send him on the fast track to promotion instead got him Reassigned to Antarctica as the dons thought he went too far (and ended up causing the Mob War he thought he was preventing). With Cesare's death, the dons were desperate enough to bring him back to deal with the Punisher. His even brighter idea was to desecrate Frank's family by pissing on their bones, filming it, and mailing the footage to the local news, to which Frank responded by hitting the Mafia even harder. Cavella was deserted by his goons once they realized he simply didn't have the intelligence to be a leader and ended up gutshot and dying over a few days.
During The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank arc, Soap persuades Frank to rescue a capo held hostage by South American narcotraffickers, as only his authority can prevent a brewing Mob War from spilling into the streets and harming innocents. Frank agrees, and once the mob boss is back in New York, he calls a meeting to discuss how to get back in the game instead of attacking each other for money and territories: killing the Punisher. Frank then calls the mobster, asking if he ever questioned Frank's motives. That is, less "prevent a mob war" and more "have all the Mafia leaders in the same room at the same time". Cue Frank, holding a belt-fed machine gun.
In another, Frank goes to Ireland to stop a shipment of drugs from coming in. He finds that the local drug-running Protestants and Catholics are quite happy murdering each other without his assistance.

The Wire:
At the beginning of the series, due to either a Great Offscreen War or a constant series of small territorial expansions, Avon Barksdale and his crew are firmly in control of the Westside of Baltimore, including controlling several housing projects where they supposedly sell their product 24/7. At the end of the first season Avon goes to jail and in the second his Number Two Stringer Bell is unable to hold onto their all important drug connection that keeps them supplied, causing the Barksdales to start losing their grip, leading to other crews muscling in on their territory. Most notably there is a very anti-climactic shootout between Bodie's crew and the newcomers, where both gangs fail to even scratch the other side, but a stray bullet hits and kills a small kid, pissing off Stringer, who explains that the police attention from killing a kid is bad for business. Eventually Stringer solves by making an agreement with their Eastside rivals led by Proposition Joe, although he has to keep Avon in the dark for awhile because Avon can't stand the thought of cooperating with the Eastside crews.
Season 3 revolves around a turf war between Avon Barksdale's drug organization and the organization of Marlo Stanfield, a new independent crew from the Westside that strives to outdo the Barksdales in both ruthlessness and brutality. Both sides take casualties, but the war comes to an abrupt end when the Major Crimes Unit arrests Avon and most of his gang in a weapons stash house.
Season 4 sees Marlo working to maintain and expand his turf, using his enforcers Chris Partlow and Snoop to execute rival dealers as well as associates who have become liabilities.

The title character of Lucky Number Slevin becomes the pawn of two mob bosses hostile to each other. The key plot element is that it is still a Mob Cold War and neither is willing to start a shooting war yet. The protagonist is useful since it can be made to look like he acted on his own and not on the orders of one of the mob bosses. Unfortunately for both mob bosses, said protagonist isn't the useful idiot he appears to be.

A major part of the plot of The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is a war between the Erebonian mafia group operating out of Revache & Co and the Calvardian triad family operating out of Heiyue Trading, Ltd. for control of the criminal underworld of the Erebonian/Calvardian buffer state of Crossbell. Heiyue comes across as more sympathetic, because their crimes are kept in the background of the story, and are primarily gang-on-gang, while Revache is openly shown committing crimes against normal citizens.

The factions control the West side and East side of the town respectively, with violent encounters between the two organizations happening regularly, with the very first one that we witness appearing as a Funny Background Event early in the adventure: While Toadworth is informing Mario about Princess Peach's disappearance, we see two Pianta Goons beating up a couple of Robbo Gang members.

One breaks out in the Astro City arc "The Dark Age" between a half-dozen gangs. It's made much more complicated because one gang has hired a psychotic assassin, another gang is led by a telepathic Brain in a Jar, and there's a vengeful Anti-Hero with a Touch of Death who wants to kill them all.

Warhammer 40,000:
The Spin-Off Necromunda a skirmish-level small unit combat set on the human Hive World of Necromunda, with mostly human factions fighting an underground gang-war. It is the SciFiCounterpart to Warhammmer's Mordheim.
Gang wars are an inevitable part of life in the lower levels of a hive. The Arbites do their best to keep things from spilling over, but higher authorities are quite keen to let them keep happening, as it means combat-ready recruits for the Imperial Guard (who sometimes conduct sweeps of the lower levels, shanghaing everyone they find) or even the Space Marines.

The threat of Tony Soprano's New Jersey mob family breaking out into open civil war or becoming embroiled with one of the New York families hangs overhead in several seasons of The Sopranos. In the last half of season 6, an open war breaks out between the Soprano crew and the Lupertazzi family under Phil Leotardo.

Justified has had a number of these. The first season features a three way conflict between Boyd Crowder's vigilante cult, his father Bo's meth runners, and the Miami Cartel. The second season sees Boyd, out to take over his father's business, clashing with the Bennett family. Season 3 sees Boyd competing for influence with Robert Quarles and the Detroit Mob, while seeking to avoid an all out war. Season 5 has numerous confrontations between Boyd, Hot-Rod Dunham, Boyd's cousin Johnny, and the newly arrived Crowe family. In each case, you can count on Raylan Givens and the other US Marshals to be caught in the middle.

The Punisher (2017): It had been revealed in Daredevil (2015) season 2 that Frank Castle's family was killed in an apparent gang shootout between three rival gangs. Which then turned out to be a police sting gone south, and which was ultimately revealed in Frank's own show to have been all a False Flag Operation sanctioned by William Rawlins to take out Frank, who he thought had leaked a tape of the torture of Ahmed Zubair.
