The video game Sleeping Dogs by Square Enix and United Front Games, set in Hong Kong, focuses on the Chinese Triads from the perspective of an undercover agent, Wei Shen. The gangs Sun On Yee and 18K are based on the real life gangs Sun Yee On and 14K. In the game, as in reality, the two gangs are portrayed as harsh rivals, with each committing violent acts on one another, particularly 18K on Sun On Yee, as the 18K are the main gang antagonists.

Famous quotes containing the words pop and/or culture:
“I don’t pop my cork for ev’ry guy I see.”
—Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
