As an iconic Nineties blockbuster with many quickly recognized quotes and scenes, this bit of pop culture gets brought up frequently in other works.

* A video by Creator/LindsayEllis compares this film with the next big movie about an alien invasion, ''Film/WarOfTheWorlds'', which came after the RealLife 9/11 attacks, examining how each movie portrays the aftermath of the initial invasion and how it affects society at large and individual characters, and how each portrayal was colored by the state of the real world at the time.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Cancelled", a satellite technician tries to help Chef and the kids with the threat posed by aliens who have been using humanity as the unknowing grist for an intergalactic reality show.

* In ''Film/BallisticKiss'' Donnie Yen's character keeps a scale-sized replica of an alien Harvester action figure in his bedroom. Becomes a plot point when the toy's head contains a hidden compartment for him to keep an important disk.
* ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'' gives the film multiple nods including Carol walking through the desert and dragging an alien behind her, similar to Will Smith's character doing the same here. There's also an AerialCanyonChase in the climax between Maria Rambeau and Minn-erva, which contains multiple visual similarities to Will Smith and the lone Harvester fighter.
