Related to \"Bridge to Nowhere has Nothing on This\" - still structural engineering, albeit for buildings instead of bridges - is the depiction in the Godzilla movies (both 1998 and 2014, possibly others) of a tall building with a Godzilla-sized hole (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ImpactSilhouette) straight through the center. In skyscraper design, the central core which houses mechanical systems, elevators, etc., also provides stability for the whole structure - if this central core was removed then the surrounding structure would collapse like a house of cards.
