Douglas made a guest appearance in the 1990s cop show ''[[Street Justice]]''.

Douglas made his feature film acting debut in the Artie Knapp science fiction comedy film ''Pluto's Plight''.

The 1988 arcade game ''[[Final Blow]]'' was released as ''James 'Buster' Douglas Knockout Boxing'' in 1990 for the [[Master System]] and [[Sega Genesis]], which replaced one of the fictional fighters with Douglas. This game is considered as a response to [[Nintendo]]'s ''[[Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', especially since Tyson lost to Douglas, which [[Sega]] took advantage in order to promote their early "[[Genesis does what Nintendon't]]" advertisements – an advertising campaign in which Douglas frequently participated.

In 1995, [[HBO]] aired ''[[Tyson (1995 film)|Tyson]]'', a [[television movie]] based upon the life of Mike Tyson.  Douglas was portrayed by actor [[Duane Davis]].

On February 23, 1990, Douglas made a special appearance as a guest referee on WWF's [[The Main Event III]] in a match-up between [[Hulk Hogan]] and "Macho Man" [[Randy Savage]]. [[Mike Tyson]] was originally scheduled to be the [[special guest referee]], but this changed following Douglas's knockout title win over Tyson just under [[Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas|two weeks before]], on February 11.

Douglas's upset against Tyson is the inspiration for [[The Killers]]' song "Tyson vs Douglas" from their ''[[Wonderful Wonderful (Killers album)|Wonderful Wonderful]]'' album. Singer songwriter [[Brandon Flowers]] used the childhood memory of watching the seemingly invincible Tyson lose, as the motivation for a song that's about "me and my family, and the way I’m perceived by my kids. I don’t want them to see me go down like Tyson".<ref>Q Magazine [https://www.qthemusic.com/articles/the-killers-brandon-flowers-fights-back-from-the-brink  The Killers: Brandon Flowers Fights Back From The Brink] Retrieved 23 September 2019.</ref>
