  • Love/Hate: The book is one of those read by the bad angel (of sorts) named Hate (Hayley Atwell) as she tries corrupting Tom into doing bad things.
  • Stalag 17: Marko brings a copy into the barracks, saying the Germans have ordered each barracks to have them. He then tosses it disdainfully towards Duke, who throws it at Sefton (Sefton is suspected of being The Mole and collaborating with the Nazi guards) while he's being shaved by Cookie, and Sefton responds, "Give that man a Kewpie doll!"

Live-Action TV

  • Oz. Tobias Beecher is trying to provoke Vern Schillinger, leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, into a brawl to mess up his parole hearing. On seeing Vern reading a book he says, "Whatcha reading, Schillinger? Mein Kampf? I'll tell you how it ends. The Aryans get their ass kicked!"

Video Games

  • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: You can get the book signed by Adolf Hitler, which can be used to bypass a guard without fighting him.
  • KGB has Rukov's father's ghost state that "Memory's bible is the book of death". Memory refers to Pamyat, a Neo-Nazi group, so obviously their Bible would be Mein Kampf, as Rukov finds out when he talks about it with Greenberg.

    • Originally Chicken Little (1943) was supposed to have Foxy Loxy enact his plan by reading from Mein Kampf, but this was nixed in order for the film to have lasting appeal after the war ended. The book became a "psychology" textbook, but the quotes Foxy cites are paraphrased from Hitler's tome (particularly the one about telling a "big lie").
