It's not explicitly trying to be funny like "Ha ha this is a joke so laugh" funny. It's just approaching machismo, which gets silly enough, in a sarcastic way. However, the sillyness is what gives it it's unique flavor. Zorn obviously has a humor about what he does, and himself. To express that in his music is only healthy honesty.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
