Production
McBain was originally the name of an action movie character on the animated sitcom The Simpsons played by an analogue of Arnold Schwarzenegger. His appearance on The Simpsons predated the release of the film, and apart from the name, the film has no relation to the character.[1]
Reception
The film took in less than $500,000 at the box office in the United States.[2]
Re-releases
The movie was released on videocassette in the United States in 1992 by MCA/Universal Home Video and in Canada that same year by C/FP Video. Goodtimes released the budget tape of the movie some years later. Synapse Films stated an intention to release McBain on Blu Ray from a newly restored 2K transfer. Rifftrax released a video on demand version of the movie on January 25, 2013, including the running mocking commentary by stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 including Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett.[3]

«Макбэйн» (англ. McBain) — американский боевик 1991 года, снятый режиссёром Джеймсом Гликенхаусом. Главные роли исполнили Кристофер Уокен, Мария Кончита Алонсо и Майкл Айронсайд. Фильм оказался не очень успешным, собрав в кинопрокате в США менее 500 тысяч долларов[1], однако он оказал влияние на один из самых популярных мультсериалов последних лет — «Симпсоны».[источник не указан 1111 дней]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
