In the 2010 film ''[[New Kids Turbo]]'', the city is hit by a huge bomb that was originally intended to destroy neighboring Maaskantje. Finally, in the sequel ''[[New Kids Nitro]]'', a bitter fight rages between a group of young men and a woman from Schijndel and a group of young men from Maaskantje. This also brought Schijndel to the attention of ''[[New Kids]]'' fans, who had previously almost exclusively traveled to Maaskantje to visit locations from the series and the films.
