The character of FBI Investigator Will Graham carried the Charter Arms .44 Bulldog in the novel Red Dragon and the motion picture Manhunter based on the novel. Graham started carrying the .44 caliber weapon after the .38 Special revolver he was carrying failed to put down a serial killer that Graham was tracking. Graham would later use the .44 Bulldog to kill serial killer Francis Dollarhyde in the film Manhunter. However, Graham fires six shots at Dollarhyde without reloading, which is not possible to do with a five shot .44 Bulldog.
In the novel Gun Machine one of the discovered guns is a .44 Bulldog, which reveals to be a major clue when the gun turns out to be the same gun Son of Sam used, stolen from NYPD evidence.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldn’t you be?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
