* Quite a lot of the Valley gets destroyed during the final battle of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', including the archway above Mr. Ping's noodle shop, [[ContinuityNod which is shown repaired in the sequel]].

* ''Film/TrueLies'' had a fairly amusing bathroom fight scene. After Arnold and his foe had taken the fight elsewhere, an old man emerges from a toilet stall with an expression of shock and bewilderment. The opening of ''Casino Royale'' may have been inspired by this scene...

* Lampshaded in ''Film/{{Sunset}}'' since the scene is actually being shot in a film about Wyatt Earp, in the presence of Wyatt Earp himself who comments on how unrealistic it is.

* Being a pastiche of Hong Kong action movies, ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'' allows Wei to smash mooks into background objects such as telephone booths, parked cars, fish tanks and various kinds of furniture.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/RevengeOfThePinkPanther''. The minion of Mafia boss Philippe Douvier introduces four of their best assassins, whose job is not to kill Inspector Clouseau but martial artist Mr. Chong, the man they've hired to kill Clouseau. Chong proves his suitability by taking out all four men with his bare hands, smashing up Douvier expensive apartment in the process. He then walks up to Douvier's desk and smashes that up too. Douvier gets out of his chair, wordlessly fetches a broom and dustpan and hands it to his minion, then leaves.

* It is essentially a tradition of the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' series to have bosses trash stuff during battles. The fights against Ornstein and Smough in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'' and the Old Dragonslayer in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' are quite hard on the pillars in the locations they're fought in, for example.

* The ''TabletopGame/FengShui'' roleplaying game does this in spades - in any location where a fight might break out, there will be section of the text devoted to describing the furniture and other features of the room, specifically for the purposes of how they could be used as improvised weapons or otherwise feature in combat. A description of a restaurant, for example, will not just mention chairs and cutlery, but also the possibility of using the rotating server in the center of a table for spin kicks, or that someone is definitely going to be dunked in the lobster tank head first and emerge with a lobster pinching their nose, or...

** Master Roshi did the same thing earlier, during the first World Martial Arts tournament in order to stop the rampage of a young, transformed Goku by reverting him to his normal form.

* ''Film/MrAndMrsSmith2005'': The titular couple do everything ''except'' destroy their house before the scene segues into DestructoNookie.

** Anything happening in the same county with The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk. [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 The understatedly-powerful Ferrigno version]] busted a lot of barrooms. The comics, movie and video game versions bust a lot of buildings and military equipment.
** Ont of the recurring jokes of the ''ComicBook/XMen'' during Creator/ChrisClaremont's run was the amount of property damage inflicted upon the environment. Especially the habit to [[ThereWasADoor bust the walls instead of using doors]].

* ''Film/{{Red}}'': There is a scene where Frank pays a visit to CIA headquarters, and decides to introduce himself to Cooper. Being the {{Combat Pragmatist}}s that they both are, nearly every piece of furniture in the office (from an innocent telephone to a wall-mounted flat screen television) ends up destroyed.

* After Lara's mansion gets shot up in the first ''Film/LaraCroftTombRaider'' movie, her two assistants are seen sweeping up the next day, and she remarks "I just woke up and hated everything." to a deliveryman.

* ''Film/AClockworkOrange'': The fight between Alex's droogs' and Billy Boy's gang is a long sequence of prop chairs, bottles and sheet glass breaking over people's heads. In a bit of meta-humor, they're fighting in a theater.

* ''Series/FastForward''. A spoof of ''Series/KungFu'' has a cowboy trying to break a chair during the requisite BarBrawl, only he can't break it as he's moving the chair in SlowMotion; he then reverts to normal speed to build up enough force to break the chair.

* Mostly averted in the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series, but given one deliberate nod during the beginning of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' when a battle takes place in the main character's ''bedroom''.

* ''Film/TigerCage2'' has a scene between Waise Chow and David.In the CurbStompBattle between David and Waise, inside Chiu's office, Waise kicks David through a glass door, kicks David to break a small wooden table, kicks him through a non-glass door, and then kicks David into a glass table... while the thugs enjoy the fight drinking Scotch without ice. In a strange effect, Waise uses a high kick to break through the remains of said glass door to go through it.

* Tends to happen a lot in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', even [[{{Flanderization}} moreso]] in FanFic. The Tendō home tends to bear the brunt of many fights. The very first time Akane expressed her feelings towards Ranma, it was with the dining room table. It just went on from there. It is not an accident that the FanNickname for the Ranma cast is "the Nerima Wrecking Crew".

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': When Wonder Woman has to fight a brainwashed Superman during "The Witch and the Warrior" they end up punching and throwing each other threw several New York City skyscrapers and making an absolute mess of Times Square.

* ''Film/{{Red}}'': There is a scene where Frank pays a visit to CIA headquarters, and decides to introduce himself to Cooper. Being the {{Combat Pragmatist}}s that they both are, nearly every piece of furniture in the office(from an innocent telephone to a wall-mounted flat screen television) ends up destroyed.

** Becomes a minor plot point in the season 6 episode "[[Recap/BuffyTehVampireSlayerS6E4Flooded Flooded]]", where Buffy deals with mounting bills following her mother's (and her own) death. When a demon attacks her in her house, she moves the fight to the basement where there are fewer breakables; after the fight, she and the gang discuss how much her mother must have spent constantly redecorating and Xander notes that the furniture is all cheap and low-quality.
