* Parodied in ''[[Team America]]'', where Team America's operations regularly destroy historical landmarks that are [[Theme Park Version|nowhere near each other]] (for example, the Pyramids and the statues of Ramses).
* The film version of ''[[I, Robot (film)|I Robot]]'' features an enormous, derelict suspension bridge on Chicago's waterfront. This is presumably the remains of the Chicago Skyway, an elevated expressway that connects industrial Northwest Indiana with the South Side of Chicago. The real Skyway, however, doesn't now and never did have a suspension bridge. Presumably the [[Rule of Cool]] says suspension bridges are cooler than steel truss bridges.
