20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About The Simpsons

10. The McBain Movie (Wasn't Intended)

Mcbain

This is one Simpsons easter egg that always pops up. All the McBain clips we saw through the early series can be stitched together to make a full movie. Well, short movie - it comes to about three minutes - but it€™s still pretty cool.

What€™s even cooler is that, according to producer Al Jean, this wasn€™t intended at all. The moments were just meant to be send ups of action movie cliches (let's not forget these episodes came just a few years after the eighties) linked only by the main character. So really it says a lot of the fanatical nature of Simpsons fans (and how somehow the shows creators didn€™t always intend their brilliance).
