In Popular Culture
Dutch musician Legowelt (a stage name for Danny Wolfers) wrote and produced the album The Rise and Fall of Manuel Noriega in 2008. In the event a biopic film would be made about Noriega's life, this was intended to be the soundtrack. Legowelt never made any overt statements about Noriega himself, but his view of dictatorships is negative.
A highly fictionalized story of the capture of Manuel Noriega is portrayed in a level of the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Popular culture entered my life as Shirley Temple, who was exactly my age and wrote a letter in the newspapers telling how her mother fixed spinach for her, with lots of butter.... I was impressed by Shirley Temple as a little girl my age who had power: she could write a piece for the newspapers and have it printed in her own handwriting.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Let us dismiss, as irrelevant to the poem per se, the circumstance ... which, in the first place, gave rise to the intention of composing a poem that should suit at once the popular and the critical taste.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
