The image is much more famous than the film, at this point. It symbolically associates zealotry, jingoism, nuclear war, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and cowboy diplomacy]], not to mention the [[PhallicWeapon phallic imagery]]. Mostly, it just gets used whenever air-dropped weapons appear in comedy, which is surprisingly frequent. Especially common in [[NewspaperComics Editorial Comics]].

* Played literally and subverted in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. Johann Schmidt's ultimate HYDRA weapon, a massive Tesseract bomber known as "Valkyrie", contained various plane bombs that were presumably going to use to attack the targets specified on their hulls and are pilotable, making it the [[SuicideAttack most literal use of the trope]]. The subversion comes in where Captain America manages to dispose a mook by opening up the cargo doors and releasing the latch before the HYDRA mook could get himself secured into the plane bomb.
