Among fans of professional wrestling, the film is known for inspiring the martial arts-themed ''[[MaskedLuchador luchador]]'' "Octagón", who made his debut wrestling for Wrestling/{{AAA}} in 1992. Octagón (whose real name, in true ''lucha libre'' fashion, remains unknown) proved to be popular enough that his mask and name were eventually [[LegacyCharacter passed down]] to fellow Mexican wrestler [[Wrestling/{{Kalisto}} Emanuel Alejandro Rodriguez]], who wrestled as his successor "Octagón Jr." until 2013. The original Octagón even got an EvilTwin called "Pentagón", whose mantle was eventually passed to the successor Wrestling/PentagonJr (real name also unknown), who wrestles as one-half of the internationally acclaimed tag-team "The Wrestling/LuchaBrothers" to this day.
