** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUkR6chwtOo The Chinese Bear/Beaver]] [[note]] Around late 2023, a series of viral animations are posted on Twitter/X showing a 3-D, CGI character (ambiguously referred to as a bear, beaver, gopher or a groundhog) which reanimates a scene from this movie where Mark was beat up and declares that he will get his life back. The animation was created by user 乙人教动画 (B teachers animation), and soon gained much attention on the online sphere. The meme is often attributed to people who sympathize with the bear's plight (brought about by the rather stellar quality of the animation). [[/note]]
