McBain, the muscle-bound action lead played by fictional Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired Rainier Wolfcastle, was fixture in early episodes of The Simpsons and has continued to make sporadic appearance throughout the series. The writers of The Simpsons took a number of those early appearances and created a cohesive McBain mini-movie that plays on just about every action film trope from Lethal Weapon to Die Hard and ultimately the James Bond films.
