Another movie with one was Tremors (1990)

Not up close but I think it's a 977K, I use to run one but loved the new 977L we got, I could bury the rippers and have whole front end off the ground

Demolition arm " hmm"
I saw a operator get covered in bricks on a tear down with a loader. It did not look safe.
He was Dazed not KILLED.
still looked dangerous to me.
