===Cultural influence=== When [[Michael Caine]], born Maurice Micklewhite, first became an actor he adopted the [[stage name]] "Michael White". He was later told by his agent that another actor was already using the same name, and that he had to come up with a new one immediately. Speaking to his agent from a telephone box in [[Leicester Square]] in [[London]], he looked around for inspiration. Being a fan of Bogart, he noted that ''The Caine Mutiny'' was being shown at the Odeon Cinema, and adopted a new name from the movie title. Caine has often joked in interviews that, had he looked the other way, he would have ended up as "Michael [[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,445597,00.html | work=The Guardian | location=London | title=Michael Caine (I) | date=1998-11-06 | access-date=2010-05-25}}</ref> [[Vince Gilligan]] used a clip of the film in a ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' episode titled "[[Madrigal (Breaking Bad)|Madrigal]]", originally transmitted in 2012, and has stated that ''The Caine Mutiny'' was one of his favorite movies as a child.<ref>{{cite news|last=Nelson |first=Erik |url=http://www.salon.com/2012/07/23/vince_gilligan_ive_never_googled_breaking_bad/ |title=Vince Gilligan: I've never Googled "Breaking Bad" |work=Salon.com |date=2012-07-23 |access-date=2012-08-03}}</ref> The final scene of "[[Chicanery (Better Call Saul)|Chicanery]]", an episode of the ''Breaking Bad'' spinoff series ''[[Better Call Saul]]'', is an homage to the film's climactic courtroom scene.<ref name="caine-uproxx">{{cite web |url=http://uproxx.com/tv/caine-mutiny-better-call-saul/2/ |title=The Movie That Inspired The 'Best Episode Ever' Of 'Better Call Saul' | work=[[Uproxx]] | date=2017-05-11 | access-date=2017-05-17 | last=Rowles | first=Dustin }}</ref> In ''[[Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', members of the human resistance serve aboard the submarine [[USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23)|USS ''Jimmy Carter'']] piloted by a reprogrammed [[Terminator (character concept)|Terminator]] that has been named "Queeg" by the crew.<ref>{{cite news|author=rockknj|url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2009/03/terminator_today_is_the_day_pa.html |title=Terminator, "Today is the Day, Part 2": Never trust a captain named Queeg |work=NJ.com |date=March 23, 2009|access-date=2009-05-02}}</ref> In the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[The Doomsday Machine (Star Trek: The Original Series)|The Doomsday Machine]]", the obsessive Commodore Matt Decker, portrayed by [[William Windom (actor)|William Windom]], fusses constantly with two futuristic tape cartridges, much as Captain Queeg [[Baoding balls|rubs together]] two [[bearing balls]].

He fully inhabits the role, giving him all kinds of wonderful little tics and habits, from the awkward way he sits in the captain's chair to the way he plays with the data tapes (which Windom has said was inspired by how Humphrey Bogart fiddled with ball bearings [''sic''] when he played Captain Queeg in ''The Caine Mutiny'')."</ref>
