* In a ''Creator/MontyPython'' sketch the model of a new hi-rise falls down and catches fire, but because the architect is a Mason and so are the buyers, he still gets the job.
** The alternative was a design produced by an architect only experienced in designing abattoirs. [[MalevolentArchitecture Yes, he forgot what he was doing]], but the chance of ''accidental'' death would still have been lower than with the other architect.
* Subverted (or averted?) in ''Film/HotFuzz'', which otherwise [[{{Troperrific}} plays as many tropes straight as possible]]. The model village [[ChekhovsGun is mentioned]] early in the film, but while there is an epic punch-up there, no significant destruction occurs.
** In fact, the model church is actually weaponised when the bad guy is sent flying by an automotive incident.

* ''Film/WrongIsRight''. Creator/SeanConnery's character is briefing the White House staff on what will happen to New York City if the two suitcase nukes hidden there by terrorists explode, when he's apparently KilledMidSentence along with everyone else amid scenes of the city burning and melting amid a fiery mushroom cloud. We then see everyone staring glumly at a smoldering model of New York that's just been destroyed in a simulated blast.
