Copyright?

Does anybody know how this film became P.D.? Did they just fail to renew the copyright (which would have run out under the law then in effect in 1978 if not renewed)? This isn't a case of the studio folding or merging beyond recognition – United Artists is still in business. It would make a great addition to the article and allow us to kill the annoying-but-necessary "Citation needed" tag. Rlquall 02:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht

What is the rationale for the plot being traceable to Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht? I think that is an error and should be removed from the article. The plot of Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht has to do with a guy who hires someone else to kill him (suicide by hitman). [1] --Mathew5000 03:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This plot sounds similar to the plot of the movie Crank starring Jason Statham.--220.239.179.128 18:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Remove radioactivity repark

I removed the parenthetical remark about the radioactive nature of the poison. The movie only says it's "luminous". The reference cited (D.O.A. at AllMovie) did not mention anything about radiation. The reference states incorrectly that the poison used was Iridium (which is not toxic), but in the movie the poison is described as a waxy substance.--RDBury (talk) 12:01, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers

While it makes perfect sense to have a complete summary of the film (per Wikipedia policy), the second line of the article, "The frantically paced plot revolves around a doomed man's quest to find out who has poisoned him – and why – before he dies," seems to be a premature spoiler for the end of the film. Some people come to Wikipedia for a summary while avoiding the "plot" section, as to avoid ruining the end. I'm going to change it by removing the words, "before he dies." 98.154.210.213 (talk) 07:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
