The sign is also shown getting damaged or destroyed from the events of a particular scene; [[period piece]]s may show just the "LAND" portion of the original sign being destroyed. It is an example of national landmarks being destroyed, a common feature seen in many [[disaster movies]] to increase the drama and tension.

The sign has been depicted getting destroyed in the movies ''[[Earthquake (1974 film)|Earthquake]]'' (1974), ''[[Superman The Movie]]'' (1978), ''[[The Rocketeer (film)|The Rocketeer]]'' (1991), ''[[Demolition Man (film)|Demolition Man]]'' (1993), ''[[Independence Day (1996 film)|Independence Day]]'' (1996), ''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]'' (2004), ''[[10.5 (miniseries)|10.5]]'' (2004), ''[[Terminator Salvation]]'' (2009), ''[[Sharknado]]'' (2013), ''[[San Andreas (film)|San Andreas]]'' (2015), ''[[Despicable Me 3]]'' (2017), ''[[Amphibia (TV series)|Amphibia]]'' (2019-2022) and numerous other films.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://parade.com/51137/hannah_dreyfus/the-hollywood-sign-in-the-movies/ |title=The Hollywood Sign in the Movies |first=Hannah |last=Dreyfus |magazine=[[Parade (magazine)|Parade]] |date=July 6, 2013 |access-date=February 24, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225052529/https://parade.com/51137/hannah_dreyfus/the-hollywood-sign-in-the-movies/ |archive-date=February 25, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref>
