'''McBain''' is a movie action hero played by actor [[Rainier Wolfcastle]]. He is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis (his name is a play on the character of John McClane from the ''Die Hard'' movies) for their film personae. McBain movies feature many action movie clichés, such as a policeman being gunned down just before retirement, and one-liners before dispatching enemies. Some of his movies include, ''[[McBain: Let's Get Silly]]'' ("The entire movie is [[wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|me standing against a brick wall]] for an hour and a half. It cost 80 million dollars."), and the McBain films up to ''[[McBain 5: The Final Chapter]]''. His nemesis is [[Mendoza]].

McBain is a former cop. He eventually stumbled upon evidence that implicated [[Senator Mendoza]] of running a drug cartel. He then ran his limo off the cliff, snapped the necks of three of his body guards and drove a bus to his front door. He was reprimanded by his boss, the captain of the precinct, and he tried to explain that he had very good reasons to do that, due to his running a cartel. However, he would not hear him out, and he then decided to kick him out of the squad. McBain then punched the captain out of the window in retaliation.

Sometime afterwards, McBain, alongside his partner and best friend {{ap|Scoey|Saturdays of Thunder}}, had began to track down evidence independent from the squad due to the fact that he was kicked off. However, during an evening at a Sloppy Joe's diner, a hitman, hired by Mendoza, posed as a waiter and attempted to gun down McBain. The hitman missed and Scoey took the bullets shortly after explaining that he is just two days from retirement, his daughter Suzie is going to graduate from college, and that after nailing Mendoza, he and his wife are going to sail around the world in their newly christened boat, "The Live-4-Ever". McBain attempts to stop the assassin by shooting at him, but the assassin manages to get away by crashing though a window on a motorcycle.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

He is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis (his name is a play on the character of John McClane from the Die Hard movies) for their film personae.

The character was originally referred to both within the show and by the production team as McBain, taken from the role he portrayed in the fictional action film franchise. However, for a short time, The Simpsons could not use the McBain name because a movie of the same name (unrelated to The Simpsons character) was released in 1991. 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, so the name of Rainier Wolfcastle was used to sidestep this. Later, the use of "McBain" as both Wolfcastle's alter-ego and continuing series of films returned to the show. He is an overpaid portrayer of action hero, McBain.
