Popular Culture
The name of the film has been borrowed – and parodied – for various television productions, including as "Torah Torah Torah" for episodes of Magnum, P.I. and NYPD Blue, the band Tora! Tora! Torrance! and as Tory! Tory! Tory! for a documentary on Thatcherism. Some television series, again including Magnum, P.I., have also used shots of the raid on Pearl Harbor taken from the film to illustrate episodes. "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is also the name of a Depeche Mode song from their first album Speak & Spell.

Famous quotes related to popular culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
