Why does Saddam scream 'Ali McGraw!' when blinded?


He gets Post-Its over his eyes and scream her name, why? I don't know any movie in which she's played a blind woman? And she's not blind in real life.

Did she play the wife of a blind man in any movie? Or what?

I reckon it's just a parody of the stereotypical arab soldier exclaiming "Allahuh Akbar!" (apologies for the spelling) in battle. I think there are a couple of similar gags in the movie.

Yes, he screams other nonsense like "omar sharif!" as if he was speaking true Arabic. The first movie did the same with the pilots who had in their helmets callsigns like "Baklava" and "Cous Cous".

Very funny.
