<P> Also, in the movie "Falling Down" (also released in 1993) one of the characters (the cop, portrayed by Robert Duvall) says at the very end of the "My name is mud," when asked what his name was . Could this be a reference to the movie, or vice versa? </P> <Dl> <Dd> Not at all likely . The saying is older than either source in the first place, but also the two were released barely two months apart . Due to the production cycle of both, neither would have been aware of eachother's content at the time of recording / filming.--- D--- (talk) 00: 06, 13 June 2010 (UTC) </Dd> </Dl> <Dd> Not at all likely .

If he helped or not was unclear in studies a long time ago . "my name is mudd" is refering that whether he commited this act of helping booth was UNCLEAR, as in mudd .--Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.209. 224.110 (talk) 19: 28, 10 May 2009 (UTC) </P>
