According to American designer George Hull, Oscorp Tower in the new Spiderman movie was actually inspired by Kuwait’s Al Hamra Tower. On his website George mentions the following:
“Early tower design inspired by architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill”
Skidmore, Owings and Merrill are the architectural firm behind Al Hamra Tower. So that’s basically Al Hamra Tower in Spiderman. Very cool.

haha nice catch
yup, said that to the guy next to me in France.
Lol both my friends and I brought it up during the movie as well.
“This” instead of “that” is the correct way of putting it. Better yet, “Looks Familiar?” would be the ideal way of putting it.

pictures of Um-Alaish destroyed satellite dishes after the liberation with skies covered with oil were inspiration to scenes from the movie
Terminator Salvation (2009). They even state that on the behind the scenes included on the bluray disc.
