The McBain series is popular in the Simpsons world, combining elements of Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Bond, John McClane , Rambo, and various other (often cheesy) action flicks.
For a short time in 1991, The Simpsons could not use the McBain name due to the fact that a movie of the same name (unrelated to the Simpsons character) was released starring actor Christopher Walken. During this time the movie's producers refused to give Twentieth Century Fox and Matt Groening's production company clearance to use the McBain name.
The rules that constrain other men,
Mean nothing to McBain.
The punches that bring pain to other men,
Mean nothing to McBain.
McBain! McBain! McBain!
(From Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Season 2)
