Every action movie McBain spoofed in The Simpsons.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Over the years, The Simpsons has used Rainier Wolfcastle’s McBain movies to parody a slew of famous action, thriller, and cop movies. Since The Simpsons has been around for so long and has such a deep appreciation for pop culture, there are few famous franchises that the show hasn’t parodied. Over the years, The Simpsons has taken satirical aim at everything from the Harry Potter movies to A Nightmare on Elm Street.
8 Die Hard One of McBain’s most obvious inspirations is the Die Hard franchise, a series of action movies starring Bruce Willis as a luckless New York City cop. McBain's name is even a play on Willis’s John McClane, while the scene of him standing on a conference table and shooting villains is an inversion of one Die Hard set-piece where McClane takes cover under a table as a villain shoots through it.
5 Dirty Harry McBain’s gigantic handgun in The Simpsons is a nod to Dirty Harry’s infamous .44 Magnum, and his contentious relationship with his superior also mirrors Clint Eastwood’s character's disdain for his boss. The Simpsons parodied Dirty Harry earlier in the series with McGarnagle, another antihero cop who refused to play by the rules. However, perhaps because Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Willis turned down cameos in The Simpsons, the show soon took satirical aim at them instead.
