Spoiler[edit]

Plot spoiler and a half. Is there not meant to be a warning at the top of the page?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arien617 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. Spoiler warnings are not required and should not be used Custardninja 20:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to me like the name is a riff on Run Lola Run --Quadraxis 13:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I can see that - might be worth pointing it out --Black Mesa 16:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Run, fat boy, run" is a relatively common phrase, at least in England. I don't think there's a connection to RLR at all, unless someone can support the idea that it is. 88.97.31.71 07:53, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Surely this article should be titled Run Fatboy Run, not Run, Fat Boy, Run, as I have seen no use of commas in any of the films promotional material, and in the bbfc statement before the film Fatboy is one word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.80.13 (talk) 11:24, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's called "Run, Fatboy, Run" in the UK, and "Run, Fat Boy, Run" elsewhere. Custardninja 20:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well, imdb has it as "Run Fatboy Run", so shouldn't we stick with that? seems pretty official to me. who the fuck really cares what it's called in the US?

seriously though, i'd stick with imdb -Gazongagizmo (talk) 16:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

its a uk film isnt it? fucking hell

There's a big difference between the page title and the title given in the introduction. Someone fix it. Someone else. VolatileChemical (talk) 07:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is 15 years late, but I’ve listed the version with vocative commas as an alternative, as it is rendered that way in some official releases, including the YouTube release and other secondary sources. That way y’all can both be happy! ;) Electricmaster (talk) 00:26, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone clarify the WP:OFFICIALNAME that the was intended by the film makers? It would seem to be "fatboy" but it would be preferable if we had reference to something official to confirm it. [[WP:COMMONNAME|Common usage seems to be mixed but lean towards "fatboy" as one word, but the poster does clearly includes a space between FAT and BOY to accommodate the picture of Pegg. In any case, as of April 2021 the Wikipedia page name and the in article title both use "Fatboy" as one word. -- 109.77.208.248 (talk) 15:18, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock words[edit]

Where exactly are the "peacock words"? Gildir (talk) 00:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Team America poster[edit]

I haven't seen this film yet, but apperantly there is a sports training montage in it, during which there is a poster of Team America: World Police visibly. Team America parodied movie montages. Here's an interview snippet with Pegg talking about this:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did any particular films inspire you for Dennis' marathon training montage?

SIMON PEGG: I think you're very hard-pushed nowadays after Team America to do a montage and not look a bit foolish, because Matt Stone and Trey Parker sent up that device so brilliantly in Team America with that song [Montage]. When presented in the script, as I was, with a montage that Michael had written quite rightly because we needed to advance the plot and see Dennis get slightly fitter, I actually e-mailed Matt and said, "Look, do you mind very much if we have a Team America poster up in that flat?" Matt checked with Paramount for me, and said, "Go for it."

I noticed that poster and was going to ask whose idea it was.

That was me saying, "Look, I know I'm using a montage, but I kinda have to," and anyone with the wherewithal to spot the reference wouldn't be totally disappointed in me. [Laughs]

If anyone ever gets around to creating a Production section for this article the link they might want to include it. -- 109.77.208.248 (talk) 15:21, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
