History Main / ParkingGarage

* ''Videogame/TheSecretWorld'' has a couple missions set in parking garages, that combine most of the elements mentioned above. In one, a stolen artifact has become the center of a deal gone bad, with numerous dead and zombified gangsters as a result. The other is the site of an assassination gone bad, with numerous dead bodies, and later ghosts, filling the garage.

* ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare 3'' has a level where a pair of Abrams tanks use a parking garage to bypass a roadblock. [[RealityEnsues The weight of the tanks proves too much for the garage structure]], and one of them drops through the floor into a lower level, disabling the tank and forcing the crew to hoof it. The level ends with a shootout at ground level outside of the garage punctuated by the second tank [[DynamicEntry exiting directly through a wall]] to plow through the baddies unexpectedly.

* [[spoiler:Doctor Melfi]] is sexually assaulted in a parking garage on ''Series/TheSopranos'' in the episode "Employee of the Month".

Not so much TruthInTelevision anymore. In the modern era parking garages have taken to installing cameras and hiring security or attendants, making it impractical to conduct illegal activity or mug someone in a parking garage.

* The earlier ''Lower Level'' had a nigh-identical plot.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Discworld/TheTruth'', IntrepidReporter William de Word meets his MysteriousInformant at a multi-storey livery stable.

* In ''Film/ChaiLaiAngelsDangerousFlowers'', Mei Ling attempts to murder Chen in a parking garage: first by [[carFu running him down]], and then by shooting at him as he is HangingByTheFingers off the down ramp.

* Parodied in the episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' when the Griffins become a reality TV show and Meg Griffin is kicked off the show for being boring; she later has to meet her parents in a parking garage, where they're wearing trenchcoats, fedoras, and sunglasses (and Peter offers her a cigarette).
* Parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' where the Simpson kids go to meet an informant (who turns out to be Mr. Smithers) in a garage. He goes to great lengths to conceal his identity (wearing a trench coat, smoking, standing in the shadows, etc.) but the effect is ruined when Homer drives up and turns on his headlights.

* A parking garage is the primary venue for the (illegal) drift competitions in ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Tokyo Drift''.
** The climax of ''Furious Seven'' involves a parking garage practically disintegrating as an assault helicopter shoots at it.

* ''The Stone Killer'' (1973). After massacring a mob commission meeting, the HiredGuns flee to their cars in the parking garage beneath the building, only to get into a shootout with police who have gotten wind of the plan and are rushing to intercept them.

* In ''Film/FantasticFour'', Doom [[spoiler:kills Ned Cecil]] in a parking garage.

* There's a lot of this on "Series/{{Monk}}". Most notably, Monk's wife was killed in a parking garage (via car bomb).

* In the 1988 thriller ''True Believer'', James Woods's character is held at gunpoint in one.

* The first two games in the SaintsRow series had some of these. The first game in particular had an entire Vice King stronghold set in one.

* ''Film./FerrisBuellersDayOff'' uses this trope comically. After the attendant promises he will not touch the Ferrari until Ferris, Cameron and Sloane, return, we [[FunnyBackgroundEvent see him in the background]] getting into it with a coworker as the trip leave.

* In ''Film/T2Trainspotting'', after Begbie realizes Renton is the one using the toilet stall next to him, he chases him out of the club to a parking garage.
