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:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
