* Eiffel Tower has indeed served as a militarized landmark during its existence, though it didn't become anything as wacky or awesome as the page image. During UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, the tower's radio transmitter was used to jam German radio communications, and it played a pivotal role in slowing down German advance into Paris and helped Entente powers secure victory in First Battle of the Marne.

** The TropeNamer is ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3,'' which is '''loaded''' with these: [[spoiler:Mount Rushmore]] has gigantic laser cannons mounted inside [[spoiler:the Presidents' heads]] (one of which has the range to hit Moscow), [[spoiler:Griffith Observatory]] has a giant cannon built into it, [[spoiler:Leningrad's Winter Palace]] transforms into a humongous space center, the [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/RapaNui Moai Heads]]]] are actually weapons turrets or man-cannons... It got to the point where there's a building category named "Weaponized Landmark", because of the sheer ubiquitity of these things in the game. In fact, the only monument that isn't weaponized in some way is [[spoiler:the Statue of Liberty]].
