In Popular Culture
Dutch musician Legowelt (a stage name for Danny Wolfers) wrote and produced the album The Rise and Fall of Manuel Noriega in 2008. In the event a biopic film would be made about Noriega's life, this was intended to be the soundtrack. Legowelt never made any overt statements about Noriega himself, but his view of dictatorships is negative.
A highly fictionalized story of the capture of Manuel Noriega is portrayed in a level of the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
