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 containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials, or none at all.”
—Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
