The Nakamoto building in Los Angeles is seized by Hans Gruber and his cronies on Christmas Eve and is systematically destroyed over the course of the movie.

Futurama's Bender may be a robot designed to bend steel girders but he actually gets his name from the maverick figure in John Hughes' 1985 film about teenagers finding their identities.
