Legacy
The 1989 BBC comedy series Blackadder Goes Forth episode "Corporal Punishment" satirizes some of the trial sequences of this film.
The 1991 Tales from the Crypt episode "Yellow" echoes the film's themes. The episode stars Kirk Douglas, Eric Douglas, Dan Aykroyd and Lance Henriksen. Kirk Douglas plays an American Expeditionary Force general whose son (Eric Douglas), is court-martialed for cowardice after a scouting mission in the trenches. Aykroyd plays a Colonel Dax-type role, and Henriksen is the mortally wounded soldier who testifies against the son.
"Paths of Glory" is the name of the tenth track on Faith No More's 1997 Album of the Year. Faith No More's Mike Patton is a fan of Stanley Kubrick and a few of the band's songs and videos include Kubrick-inspired motifs.
Paths of Glory is the name of a card-driven strategy game covering the First World War in Europe and the Near East, developed by game designer Ted Raicer and published by GMT Games in 1999.
David Simon, creator of critically acclaimed series The Wire (2002-08), has said that Paths Of Glory was a key influence on the HBO crime drama. The influence of the film comes in its depiction of the tribulations of "middle management," in the form of Dax's unsuccessful attempt to protect his troops against the inhumane ambitions of his superiors, which in turn influenced The Wire's depiction of various institutions acting against individuals.
