Scott Norwood - Popular Culture

Popular Culture

Scott Norwood's famous Super Bowl field goal miss partly inspired the character "Ray Finkle" in the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

The character "Scott Woods" in the movie Buffalo '66 is a spin off of Norwood. Character Billy Brown (Vincent Gallo) loses a large bet in the 1991 Super Bowl XXV because of the missed field goal kick by the Buffalo Bills team kicker "Scott Woods". The character is played by Bob Wahl.

Norwood's infamous field goal miss is the pretext for Buffalo/upstate New York band Mercury Rev's instrumental tune 'Nocturne for Norwood', from their 2008 album Strange Attractor, in which broadcast commentary is juxtaposed with ambient music.
