general comments[edit]

The great appeal of this film comes from the likeable, if deeply flawed, characters and the outrageous gangster patois devised for the film by the writer of the screenplay. I personally felt that the interjection of clients comments from Afterlife Advice disrupted the flow of the movie---it's the sort of transition device that works in print, but not on film. Christopher Walken is at his absolute most repugnant in this movie---but that's a good thing. -cneron

Plot[edit]

this plot section is very badly wrote, it's too confused. Also notice that it's very similar to IMDB's one, so one of them has surely copied the other (or the original author is the same for both). ---- Lo'oris (talk) 18:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception[edit]

How was this film received by critics? How did it do at the box office? The infobox says it grossed only half a million, on a $8 budget. Is this true and what's the source? Does it stand up these days or did it grow in popularity after an initial flop? I've heard people talk about it and seen it on TV in the last few years. Any information that could go in the article would be very welcome. Beorhtwulf (talk) 21:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The way the article is currently written, it says that the movie was met with bad reviews and cites Rotten Tomatoes as the source. But the Rotten Tomatoes listing for the movie lists that there is no consensus and that 73% of the audience liked it. That's an unusual split between audiences and critics and it leaves me feeling that a conclusion is being reached here without enough research. Since we're talking about a movie that debuted in 1995, years before Rotten Tomatoes, it might not be the best source for what the critical reaction was at it's release. Are there more current to the time sources that we can draw upon rather than just using Rotten Tomatoes as a definitive source? beanlynch (talk) 16:42, 01 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have incorporated the audience rating and put a {{cn}} on the financials. Beorhtwulf (talk) 12:24, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:UGC Rotten Tomatoes audience scores are not allowed and should not have been added to the article. -- 109.79.73.200 (talk) 21:40, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Bill[edit]

I removed the description of Critical Bill as a "psychopath" because a) it wasn't sourced and b) there wasn't any indication in the film that he had antisocial personality disorder (please don't bring up Hare et al.), although some of his behavior certainly was antisocial.

Anyone else who believes that blowing off steam by pummeling corpses seems like anything else than psychopathic behaviour? Even the guy himself blames Jimmy, who should have known better: ″everybody knows... I'm out of my tits″ and openly admits ″I'm in the back of beyond″ --Furescht (talk) 15:08, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Zevon[edit]

The article says that the Zevon song plays during the end credits - it doesn't. What gives?

Good point. Doctorhawkes (talk) 06:56, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm assuming they couldn't license the song for the home video release, but afaik no one has published anything about it, so there are no sources. Faithfulruslan (talk) 23:17, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
