Lines from the play are quoted at the end of Cross of Iron, a 1977 drama war film directed by Sam Peckinpah:
Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again.
Herrick, a fictional character from BBC Three's Being Human, quotes the play's epilogue during his final soliloquy:
The world was almost won by such an ape! The nations put him where his kind belong. But do not rejoice too soon at your escape — The womb he crawled from is still going strong.
