The "Made it ma! Top of the world" line is used in the 1991 film "Ricochet", in which Denzel Washington recites the quote in the final scene atop a tower. A variation of the quote—"Top of the world, ma!"—appears in the 1986 movie "Tough Guys" during a scene in which Eli Wallach shoots at cops from a train; the same variation is used in the 1990 film "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" by Andrew Dice Clay when he escapes kidnappers and discovers that he is atop the Capitol Records Building. It has also been quoted in a fifth season episode of "Cheers", a second season episode of "Breaking Bad" and the series finale of "Mixels". The line is also quoted in the Kings of the Sun song "Drop the Gun".
