[edit] Why EMP
Did the ship have no other armaments other than its EMP. Maybe it didnt have mounted turrets, although other ships do have them, but it was shown in the movie that it had at least small arms.
[edit] Where is the Sophia Stewart Section?
Amazingly, all references to Sophia Stewart copyright case seem to have been expunged. There are numerous references in the archives where one is directed to see the Sophia Stewart section, which no longer exists. The reader cannot even find out which way the copyright case was finally decided. It really makes one wonder if Ms Stewart's claims of the AOL/Warner whitewash might have merit due to the thoroughness of the deletions of any reference to this topic. This is really relevant to the subject of the article, given how noticeably inferior the subsequent sequel scripts were. Why this question is so heavily censored in this article is a question that in itself deserves a section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.138.26 (talk) 07:46, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
Look: all I'm saying about /\ or anyone else, is that you'd would have to be a braindead, retarded retard to believe the claims of Sophia Stewart! ... THERE! Does that avoid constituting Wikipedia's disruptive editing guidelines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.35.2 (talk) 08:22, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Australian
Why is this listed as an Australian film? It is an unsourced claim, I can only see it on IMDb and as far as I can tell it is being based off Village Road Show being a producer? That doesn't seem to qualify it as an Australian film and I think that is going to need a source or be removed. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's likely marked as being an Australian film because the movie was filmed in Australia. If you need sources for that, I'm sure many can be found. --TreyGeek (talk) 01:07, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not super familiar with its background but The Hangover Part II isn't listed as a Thai film because it was filmed in Thailand. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Looking at the wiki-markup, the [[Category:Australian films]] is not explicitly listed. It appears that perhaps because the [[Category:Village Roadshow Pictures films]] is listed at the bottom of the article, the other category is implied (as it is a sub-category of Australian films)? (BTW, I'm not suggesting that the categorization is right or wrong, just attempting to explain why it is there.) --TreyGeek (talk) 01:20, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Well I was referring to the infobox, I didn't realize it was categorized as an Australian film also. I thought maybe the Wachowski's were Australian or something but no, the only connection I can find is the Village Roadshow group, and looking at other films they have helped produce, those films such as Sherlock Holmes 2, are not listed as Australian. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm at a loss then. Perhaps you could be WP:BOLD and remove it? --TreyGeek (talk) 02:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Well people have had time to respond so I think I will do that, thanks for your input TreyGeek. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 13:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
