Hollywood has a long-standing fascination with demolishing iconic landmarks, and the upcoming film 'London Has Fallen' is no exception. The trailer showcases the destruction of Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament, continuing a trend seen in many blockbusters.
One notable example is the Eiffel Tower in 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra', where tiny robots devour the Parisian landmark in a scene of poor CGI. Another classic is the White House's destruction in 'Independence Day', which combined digital and practical effects to create a memorable moment.
The Statue of Liberty also met its demise in 'Cloverfield', where its head crashes to the ground in a terrifying teaser. These scenes highlight Hollywood's repetitive use of landmark destruction for dramatic effect.
