The rock group Mudhoney took their name from this film. They arguably kickstarted the grunge genre and were a massive influence on Nirvana. Kurt Cobain used to wear their T-shirts on stage.
The closing quote "One man's evil can become the curse of all," is taken from "The Moral Sayings of Publilius Syrus, a Roman slave: From the Latin." In the book, saying 463 is translated as, "One man's wickedness may easily become all men's curse."
This film is an inspiration for the artwork in Norah Jones's 2012 album "Little Broken Hearts."
