Line 30: * The Kryptonian supervillains in ''[[Superman II]]'' stop by Rushmore to carve something new with their heat vision. No points for guessing what. * In ''[[Batman Forever]]'', Two-Face defaces "Lady Gotham" (a Statue of Liberty stand-in and a [[Mythology Gag]] to the comics). * In ''[[Richie Rich (comics)\|Richie Rich]]'' the Riches avoid the evil route and make their own Mount Rushmore with their faces instead of refacing the existing one. A rare case where the characters are nice enough not to ruin a national monument, but narcissistic (and rich) enough to feel the need to make one of their own (it does cover their vault). ** However, Regina mentions "Mount Richmore" was their sculptress' idea and Richard even lampshades how pretentious it is (though he seems more concerned over how his cheeks look "puffy"). The 'Richmore' is blasted to bejeebers by villains trying to kill the heroes. * Part of the [[Viral Marketing]] for the [[Watchmen]] film includes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5WsciSNVS0&feature=channel_page an informational video about] [[Super Registration Act\|the Keene Act]] which reveals the heads one at a time and fourth is not Lincoln but rather ''[[Richard Nixon]]''. Yes, this makes little sense even given the [[Alternate History]] that ''Watchmen'' is in, [[Rule of Funny\|just go with it]]. Also, it's not actually ''showing'' the monument, just an animated version, so it's possible it doesn't "really" look like that. Line 91: * In the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "When Aliens Attack", it's mentioned that New York once had a super-villain governor who stole the world's most famous monuments, including Mount Rushmore. A sight-gag reveals he added his face to it. ** Another ''[[Futurama]]'' example: The statue of Abe Lincoln in his DC Memorial was at some point replaced with that of an alien conqueror sitting on a throne of human skulls. * ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents]]'' episode/TV movie "Abra-Catastrophe!" has Crocker doing this not only to Rushmore, but to the sphinx and the Eiffel Tower—which ''doesn't even '''have''' a face''! Early in the same storyline, Mount Rushmore was transformed to have Gorilla versions of the Presidents when monkeys took over the world. * In one of the season finales of the first ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987\|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon, it's revealed that the villains are headed towards Mt. Rushmore. Raphael theorized (and we're treated to his imagining) that Krang wanted to put his face on there and "scare the country into submission." ** There's another episode where the Turtles go to a future ruled by Shredder and the Statue of Liberty has been changed to a statue of Shredder holding up a laser gun.
