Sources[edit]

Before you have a release date or a country of production in, please make sure your sources follow WP:RS and WP:OR. Thank you. Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:01, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As for the film being Canadian, we'll need sources backing that up. It doesn't appear in the Collections Canada database either. (source). Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Release info[edit]

Per MOS:FILM, we list films by the earliest public release. Despite the film being made in the early 1980s, we should list it by when it was released. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:21, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More specifics, per WP:PRIMARYFILM, If a film shares its title with one or more other film topics on Wikipedia, compare all film and non-film topics and determine whether one is the primary topic. If one film is the primary topic, name its article after the film's title without any means of disambiguation. For the other films (or all the films, if none of them are the primary topic), add the year of its first verifiable release (including film festival screenings).

This movie was released in several countries before 1985.--Ezzex (talk) 02:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is your source for this? Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

September 1983 in Norway (video-release) https://www.nb.no/search?q=superstition&mediatype=aviser&sort=dateasc&fromDate=19830916&toDate=19830916&counties=M%C3%B8re%20og%20Romsdal:[Tidens%20krav%20(%20Kristiansund)]--Ezzex (talk) 15:50, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article seems to state it was released on home video at least by then. Thanks for doing the research to find that. If you could add that to the article I would be happy to note it. Home video specific release dates from the 1980s are very difficult to track down and confirm, so I would phrase this carefully. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doing some digging, I have found a review of the film in 1982 from the Italian newspaper La Stampa from August 1982. It can be read here:[1]. Again, not sure how to handle it as we have reviewed its had some sort of public release. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:49, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More digging led to finding some specific confirmation about it being released in 1982 in Italy. I have added the sources to the article. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:07, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian production[edit]

I have heard sources declare this a Canadian production while I have seen a relatable amount describe it as an American one. If we could get more specifics on whether its Canadian or American, it would help the article a lot. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:49, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
