Bittersweet Symphony in Cruel Intentions. That one song took up 10% of the movie’s budget.

I can't say I automatically think of this scene when I hear it, because it feels like it's been used in a few movies, and the music video of it is etched in my mind, but the way this is set up is so awesome.

I guess it's been in more TV than movies.

In popular culture

The music video for Sabotage directly influenced the iconic opening sequence of the 1996 film Trainspotting.

The band Phish covered the song in their 1998 concerts at Hampton Coliseum, and it appears on the live album of those concerts, Hampton Comes Alive.

During Saturday Night Live's 25th Anniversary Special in 1999, the band played the first fifteen seconds of the song before their performance was "sabotaged" by Elvis Costello, who in 1977 had done the same to one of his own songs on the show; the Beastie Boys then accompanied him on "Radio, Radio", the song performed during the original incident.[19]

In the 1999 Futurama episode "Hell Is Other Robots", the Beastie Boys perform several songs, including an a cappella version of the song.

The song is included in the track list for the 2007 video games Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and Rock Band.

The song is heard early in J. J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek film, played on a car stereo by an adolescent James T. Kirk. This is one of the few uses of licensed music in a Star Trek production. The song also plays a crucial part in the plot of the 2016 sequel Star Trek Beyond, in which it is used by Kirk and his officers to disrupt an alien attack on a Federation starbase.[20]

The song was covered by hardcore punk band Cancer Bats for their 2010 album Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones.

The song is included on the soundtrack of the 2012 film This Means War.

In 2013, the song was heavily played and used in the soundtrack of one episode of How I Met Your Mother.[21]

Finnish band Steve 'N' Seagulls performed a version of the song in November 2015 for The A.V. Club's A.V. Undercover series.[22]

The song played during the Bronco chase scene in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.[23]

The animated TV comedy series Family Guy used "Sabotage" in the 2016 episode "The New Adventures of Old Tom" for Peter and Tom Tucker's skateboarding video.

The song is featured in the live-action trailer "New Heroes Will Rise"[24] for the 2017 video game Destiny 2.

Bubs is shown dressed as Nathan Wind as Cochese in the Homestar Runner 2014 Halloween special, "I Killed Pom Pom".[citation needed]

The song is featured in the official trailer for Illumination's Minions: The Rise of Gru.

The animated TV comedy series American Dad featured "Rabbitage" a leporine-themed parody song by "Weird Al" Yankovic in the 2020 episode "First, Do No Farm".[25]
