“In popular culture

Dylan makes reference to the song in his 2004 autobiography Chronicles Volume One: “On the way back to the house I passed the local movie theater on Prytania Street, where The Mighty Quinn was showing. Years earlier, I had written a song called ‘The Mighty Quinn’ which was a hit in England, and I wondered what the movie was about. Eventually, I’d sneak off and go there to see it. It was a mystery, suspense, Jamaican thriller with Denzel Washington as the Mighty Xavier Quinn a detective who solves crimes. Funny, that’s just the way I imagined him when I wrote the song ‘The Mighty Quinn,’ Denzel Washington.”[20] Dylan’s chorus is featured in the movie, with different verses, since the movie’s Quinn is not an Eskimo.

“The Mighty Quinn” is also the main theme music for English Premiership Rugby Club Harlequins AKA “Quins” , where the cover by Gotthard is mainly used.”
