- 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.

“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)
“One knows so well the popular idea of health. The English country gentleman galloping after a fox—the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.”
