Editing Super Bowl XIX (section)

===In popular culture===
Clips from this game can be seen in the movie ''[[Ace Ventura: Pet Detective]]'' as the character Ray Finkle is in reality Dolphins kicker [[Uwe von Schamann]]. Von Schamann made three field goals and an extra point in this game, but Finkle missed the game-winning field goal in a fictional Super Bowl XIX. The latter play actually occurred six years later in [[Super Bowl XXV]].

The ''NFL's Greatest Games'' episode ''Masters of the Game'' focuses on Super Bowl XIX. The film was narrated by [[Brad Crandall]] after legendary NFL Films announcer [[John Facenda]] died in September 1984. This was the last Super Bowl highlight film produced by NFL Films using film stock; beginning with the 1985 season, NFL Films videos were produced on videotape.

The [[Oliver Stone]] film, ''[[Any Given Sunday]]'', features an (off-screen) "Pantheon Cup" championship game where San Francisco beats Miami, 32–13. Stone, a longtime 49ers fan, based his film's finale on Super Bowl XIX.

A major plot point in the episode "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" of the television show ''[[Sliders (TV series)|Sliders]]'' is based on this game. In the alternate reality, the 49ers play the Jets in the Super Bowl, which leads the main character Quinn Mallory to the conclusion that something is awry.
