Overnight Delivery similarities

If you've ever seen the movie Overnight Delivery, you've noticed numerous similarities between the premise and ending of the movies. I've never heard any accusations or clarifications, so I'm just posting here to see if there's any actual relationship between writers/movies/etc. Jfnasati 19:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I too noticed the similarities, having just seen Overnight Delivery. If we could get any clarifications, then mutual linking may be called for. 149.254.51.127 (talk) 21:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Fred Ward

I thought this movie was hilarious. Imagine a road trip in a Porsche Cayenne. Is it just me or can Fred Ward be a really scary guy?

What about "road trip" the thing?

This is quite the epic article about a typical college comedy... Bravo to whoever spent this amount of time evaluating this film! And I mean no sarcasm, I think there ought to be more people who can do such tasks for encyclopedic purposes such as this. Ubergenius 18:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Propose move to: Road Trip(film)

I propose moving this page to Road Trip(film), as it conflicts with the article Road trip, about the hobby. What currently links here. Cascadia^TALK|HISTORY 14:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Story section too long?

Also;

Rachel Blanchard (who plays Tiffany) is exactly one week older than Amy Smart (who plays Beth).

What exactly does a statement like that add? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.93.129 (talk) 16:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Sequel

Road Trip 2: Beer Pong Release - unknown date, this year http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1319733/

Trivia

[Moved from the article. Please fit them into appropriate sections--if they can't be, then they might as well be deleted. Item 1 really doesn't strike me as relevant, and the reference is only to Barrymore and Green being engaged; item 2 is valid, sure, in some section; item 3 seems trivial to me, and valid only, possibly, in the article for Deliverance. Listing every quote from every movie in every movie article, that's really quite trivial and suggests that intertextuality is an exception rather than a necessary mode.]

• The motel clerk (Andy Dick) reads an issue of Celebrity Skin magazine with Drew Barrymore on the cover. At the time, Drew Barrymore was engaged to Tom Green, who plays Barry.
• The scene in which Barry ceremoniously repeats the phrase "unleash the fury" before feeding Mitch the snake was later used at Washington Capitals hockey games, and fans yell it at the end of the repetition. It was previously played at Atlanta Thrashers home games.
• Upon reaching the broken bridge, E.L. states that he thinks they're "About twenty minutes from our first ass raping" in a reference to Deliverance.

Reference

Editors have made good faith efforts in adding content, I prefer to make an extra effort to try to merge and include rather than taking the easy option of deleting. In fairness they had been tagged as needing citations for a very long time. Of the three items the second strikes me as "Cultural impact" and the best item of the three and worth a mention. The first is a bit weak I suppose, I guess I feel the sheer weirdness of Andy Dick requires additional context but unless the filmmakers mention the reference to Barrymore in the DVD commentary it probably is not worth reincluding. The third item could possible be worked into the plot summary, only it is far longer than recommended already so if someone does try to shorten it any nuance will be lost. I suppose it could go to Wikiquote. I'll think about it some more and probably reinclude only the second item. -- Horkana (talk) 12:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Plot

Per WP:BOLD, I reduced the plot substantially to a plot summary. The previous description of the "plot" was around 14,000 bytes and took roughly 70% of the article. That's ridiculous. I understand if my version is too short, but I wasn't going to try and salvage, rework, and cut down that older version. Feel free to expand upon what I left, but let's keep it a lot shorter. See WP:PLOT, WP:PLOTSUM, and WP:UNDUE for more details. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 16:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Wow, the previous description was 2,637 words. Thanks for cutting it down! Erik (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, I realize my version could be longer (and better written), but at least it's a clean start. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 16:58, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Somebody who speaks English needs to read and fix the page. It has numerous errors (Somebody used spellcheck and the word was changed to a different word)

MY PLOT POST & ITS DELETION

I spent today, a great deal of time writing out the full plot of the film only to discover to my reasonable horror, that it was entirely deleted. I ask why this was the case. This was unwarranted and I view this as a personal offense. I expect a response to this. I detailed the full details of this film and declare my work was solid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.9.155 (talk) 13:50, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
