Production

The Simpsons connection

"McBain" was originally the name of a character in action movies on The Simpsons, played by an Arnold Schwarzenegger analogue named Rainier Wolfcastle. His appearance on The Simpsons predates the release of this film, and apart from the name, the film has little relation to the character.

However, for some time after the release of the McBain film, the movie's producers refused to give 20th Century Fox and Matt Groening's production team clearance to use the "McBain" name. In order to continue using the character, the character was given a new name, Rainier Wolfcastle, intended as the name of the actor who portrayed McBain (the McBain name has continued to be used to refer to the in-universe series of films and their character).[1]

Reception

Box office

The film was not very successful, taking in less than $500,000 at the United States box office.

Home media

The movie was released on videocassette in the USA in 1992 by MCA/Universal Home Video, and in Canada that same year by C/FP Video. Years later, Goodtimes released a budget tape of the movie. Synapse Films will release Mcbain on Blu-ray from a newly restored 2K transfer.

On January 25, 2013 Rifftrax released a Video On Demand version of the movie including a running mocking commentary by Mystery Science Theater 3000 stars Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett.[2]
