The Immortals are the subject of many depictions in popular culture, including:
* In [[Jackie Chan]]'s films ''[[Drunken Master]]'' and ''[[Drunken Master II]]'', there are eight "drunken" [[Chinese martial arts]] forms that are said to be originated from the Eight Immortals. At first, the protagonist did not want to learn the [[Immortal Woman He|Immortal Lady He]] form because he saw it as feminine, but he eventually created his own version of it.
* The 1998–99 Singaporean television series ''[[Legend of the Eight Immortals]]'' was based on stories of the Eight Immortals and adapted from the novel ''Dong You Ji''.
* The Eight Immortals play an important part in the plot of the video game ''[[Fear Effect 2]]''.
* In the [[Andy Seto]] graphic novel series ''Saint Legend'', the Eight Immortals reappear to protect the Buddhist faith from evil spirits set on destroying it.
* In the ''[[X-Men]]'' comic book, the Eight Immortals appear to protect China along with the [[Collective Man]] when the mutant [[Xorn]] caused a massacre in one small village.
* In the ''[[Immortal Iron Fist]]'' comic book, there are seven supreme kung fu practitioners, called the Seven Immortal Weapons. They each hail from other-dimensional cities and must fight for their city's chance to appear on Earth. Aside from being named the "Immortal" Weapons, the most overt reference to the Eight Immortals is that one Immortal Weapon, Fat Cobra, hails from and represents a city called "Peng Lai Island".
* In the roleplaying game ''[[Feng Shui (role-playing game)|Feng Shui]]'', the Eight Immortals appear in the sourcebook ''Thorns of the Lotus''.
* The Eight Immortals played a role in the animated show ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]''. In the show, the Immortals were said to be the ones who defeated the Eight Demon Sorcerers and sealed them away in the netherworld using items that symbolized their powers. They then crafted the Pan'ku box as a key to opening the portals that lead into the demons' prison. Later on in the series, the items the Immortals used to seal away the demons the first time are revealed to have absorbed some of the demons' chi and become the targets of Drago, the son of Shendu (one of the Demon Sorcerers), to enhance his own powers.
* In ''[[The Forbidden Kingdom]]'', [[Jackie Chan]] plays the character [[Lü Dongbin|Lu Yan]], who is supposed to be one of the Eight Immortals, as revealed by the director in the movie's special feature, ''The [[Monkey King]] and The Eight Immortals''.
* In the Tales of the Dragon expansion for ''[[Age of Mythology]]'', the Eight Immortals are hero units for the Chinese.
* In ''[[The Iron Druid Chronicles]],'' Zhang Guolao joins the party journeying to [[Asgard]] to slay [[Thor]] in vengeance for the Norse gods crimes.  Zhang Guolao's grudge stems from Thor killing his donkey in a trick.
