 All films produced for the 48 Hour Film Project had to include the  same silly line of dialogue, goofy character, and unlikely prop. The  director did not want to make the action film a comedy, so the  following was done to make these elements blend into the film: The  line became a spy password and was said in Arabic. The character was  an alias for a spys cover, and the prop was only used to establish  another form of hostage torture.
