Adaptations
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the Corsairs are depicted as using ships reminiscent of junks and dhows with lateen sails (Eastern-style), whereas Tolkien specifically uses dromonds in the book (Western). The scene is not featured in the theatrical release; however, it is shown on the Extended Edition DVD. Many of the film's crew make cameo appearances in the scene, including Peter Jackson as a crewman shot by Legolas.
The Finnish Metal band Battlelore has a song called Buccaneers Inn about the Corsairs of Umbar which was released on the album Sword's Song.
The Corsairs of Umbar appear in the computer game The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II as navy and infantry units. As an infantry unit, they can use knives or fire grenades at their enemies.
