The OP was obviously joking. He didn't say the roles were played by the same actor. But the characters' names are the same in both films. I never thought of that coincidence before.

That was the only unsettling thing about this one... but considering Ford and Fonda were not getting along it seems to be a final jab at their spat.

The fact that characters in two different movies have the same name is unsettling? How? And this is a final jab at Ford's and Fonda's spat? In what way?
