- A yellow Daewoo Lanos Sport is driven by Red (Danny R. McBride) in Pineapple Express.
- A green Daewoo Lanos was the alternative car for officer Washburn in the 2004 movie Taxi.
- A Daewoo Lanos was planned to be used in the movie Tracer Bullet until Vietnam Camera changed their plan- the successor model will be used (Daewoo Kalos).
- The MadTV character Tank (played by Bobby Lee) owns a riced out Lanos, the hydraulic suspension of which he ostensibly controls through voice command. In reality, another guy named Kenneth (presumably Tank's brother or friend) hides in the trunk and jumps up and down to make it look like the car has hydraulics. He also controls other features (like lights and music) from the trunk when Tank shouts at him.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
