==Cultural legacy== The distinctive [[ringtone]] of Cramden's "presidential hotline" telephone, created by the composer of the film's soundtrack [[Jerry Goldsmith]],<ref>{{YouTube | id=CokN5HgyfD8 | title=Flint presidential telephone ringtone SFX (clean)}}</ref> was re-used in the films ''[[Hudson Hawk]]'' and in the Seattle children's television program ''[[J. P. Patches|The J.P. Patches Show]]''. Popular Los Angeles [[KIIS-FM]] disc jockey [[Rick Dees]] used the sound effect as the "hotline" phone sound whenever the station manager would call and yell at him during his 1980s and 1990s shows. A similar ringtone was used in ''[[Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]],'' clearly as a "nod and a wink" to the Flint films. Hanna-Barbara's 1966 animated film [[The Man Called Flintstone]] includes nods to the Our Man Flint, especially on the theatrical poster. A 1965 [[novelization]] of the film by Jack Pearl includes much material not seen on the screen that may have been taken from an earlier screenplay draft. The name Hans Gruber was reused in two later films, ''[[Re-Animator]]'' and ''[[Die Hard]]''. Clips of audio from the film are sampled in [[The Desert Sessions]] song "Sugar Rush" on the album [[Volumes 3 & 4]].
