For years I thought the character played by Alex Karras was named “Mongol”, as in `fierce unstoppable warrior’.
Not many today will recognize the play on the name of bandleader Mongo Santamaria when the frightened Mexican utters his full name.
Tactical note: nowadays when somebody calls you a racist, the word they really mean is `target’.
Precisely. "Are you not Of The Body?"
I never knew that. The Doctor Gillespie murders is another obscure one.
