The swinging blade could also be a nod to Indiana Jones. When Indy was making his way to the Grail Knight, the first obstacle he encountered were two spinning blades intended to cut his head off and/or cut him in half. I'm not saying that the Indiana Jones series created this device, it's been around for centuries, it's simply another similarity Mac and Indy have in Common.
