* In the first part of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' season 5 finale, [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 E12 The Pandorica Opens|The Pandorica Opens]], Stonehenge is {{spoiler|the location of the Pandorica}}. It also mentioned much earlier in [[Doctor Who/Recap/S2 E9 The Time Meddler|The Time Meddler]], where a Time Lord, the Monk, claims to have used anti-grav machines to help the construction of it.

* Somewhat ironically, in the Japanese version of ''Final Fantasy X'', Kimahri's ultimate weapon was named after this... however it got changed to the 'spirit lance' for the Western releases because it was thought to be too controversial

* A notable appearance as a weapon in ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]] II'', notable in that this would ''predate'' its more famous use. Which begs the question of what the hell Longinus was doing with it... (Given that the game's spear looks nothing like a Roman spear (or a Greek one, for that matter), can extend and retract, fires crystal-like projectiles, and was carried around by a griffin-riding undead knight....it's probably just ''a'' spear of destiny, and not ''the'' Spear of Destiny.)

* Mjolnir is the focus of ''[[Tomb Raider]] Underworld'', which is the sequel to Legend. Just like Legend, the mystical "weapon" turns out to be {{spoiler|a key to enter Helheim}}. Wherein the [[Big Bad]] is attempting to wield Jormungandr, {{spoiler|a gigantic ancient machine that will bring about [[The End of the World as We Know It|Ragnarok]]}}
