==Popular culture== * In the 1976 film ''[[Taxi Driver]]'', when [[Travis Bickle]] ([[Robert De Niro]]) is talking to a Secret Service agent, he provides a false name (Henry Krinkle), and a false address (154 Hopper Avenue, Fair Lawn, New Jersey). There is a Hopper Avenue in Fair Lawn, but 154 Hopper Avenue does not exist, and the ZIP Code he provides is also incorrect (61045, which is actually in Kings, Illinois).<ref>Ginsberg, Leonard. [https://books.google.com/books?id=4LxFAYHILkIC&pg=PA205 ''Rhapsody on a Film by Kurosawa''], p. 205. [[Trafford Publishing]], 2008. {{ISBN|9781425174378}}. Accessed November 5, 2013. "First, a psychopathic hero is not a novelty. 'My name is Henry Krinkle. K-R-I-N-K-L-E. 154 Hopper Avenue. ... You know, like a rabbit, hip, hop. Ha, ha. Fair Lawn, New Jersey.' Travis Bickle falsely identifies himself."</ref> * In 1981 [[punk rock]] band [[Misfits (band)|The Misfits]], who later became one of the original pioneers of [[hardcore punk]], recorded their studio demo titled "The Fairlawn Sessions" at New Found Sound Studio with original singer [[Glen Danzig]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.misfitscentral.com/misfits/sessions.php|title=The Misfits Recording Sessions|website=Misfits Central|access-date=January 17, 2017}}</ref> * In the 1996 Mel Gibson movie ''[[Ransom (1996 film)|Ransom]]'', Fair Lawn is seen when Gibson is told to turn from Route 4 onto [[County Route 77 (Bergen County, New Jersey)|Saddle River Road]] (Fair Lawn) and into the rock quarry (which is actually located in [[Haledon, New Jersey]]).<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117438/locations ''Ransom'' (1996) - Filming Locations], Internet Movie Database. Accessed January 6, 2015.</ref> * In the 2004 movie ''[[Taxi (2004 film)|Taxi]]'', Fair Lawn can be seen on the map that Detective Washburn ([[Jimmy Fallon]]) is reading. The map is fake, since it shows a fictional uncompleted highway off the [[Garden State Parkway]] in [[Oradell, New Jersey|Oradell]]. * At the beginning of the [[Pine Barrens (The Sopranos)|"Pine Barrens"]] episode of the television series ''[[The Sopranos]]'', Mob boss Tony Soprano tells [[Paulie Walnuts]] and protege [[Christopher Moltisanti]] to visit a Russian mobster, Valery, in Fair Lawn. However, this scene was shot in Paterson.{{citation needed|date=January 2014}} A scene in the episode "[[The Happy Wanderer (The Sopranos)|The Happy Wanderer]]" was filmed in front of the historic Radburn Building.{{citation needed|date=January 2014}} * Fair Lawn was featured in the movie ''[[The Other Guys]]'' starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The two main characters travel to Fair Lawn, New Jersey to get accounting files.<ref>Faerman, Zlata. "Q&A: 'The Other Guys' director Adam McKay", ''[[The Palm Beach Post]]'', August 23, 2010. "If you had to point to Fair Lawn on a map of New Jersey, could you do it? McKay: I would look around Mount Clair{{sic}}? Is that close? I grew up in Philly so I have some limited Jersey knowledge."</ref>
