"The Wild One" was featured in Floria Sigismondi's 2010 film, The Runaways, a coming-of-age/biopic about Cherie Currie (portrayed by Dakota Fanning) and the 1970s all-girl rock band, The Runaways (the film was inspired by and loosely based on Currie's 1989 memoir, "Neon Angel").Suzi Quatro was a major influence both musically and personally for The Runaways and especially Joan Jett, so the film makes several references to her.
