The film was mentioned when Stallone hosted an episode of "Saturday Night Live" in 1997; in one particular skit Stallone comes across someone in a terrible car accident (Norm Macdonald) who does not like any of his work and ridicules his films. As he lies dying, he mutters something quietly that only Stallone can hear, and when a passerby (Will Ferrell) asks what he said, Stallone is reluctant to say it until he is grilled some more, at which point he virulently yells "He said "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot"...SUCKED!"
