Theatrical poster art by Boris Vallejo. This should be mentioned somewhere. Danceswithzerglings (talk) 21:22, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the article

[edit]

I saw a request for help in editing this article at the Wikipedia help desk. Some of the IP editor's changes are to unreliable sources, such as forum postings and user reviews at the IMDb, but Joe Bob Briggs is a nationally-known film critic. Although his reviews read as very low-brow, it's satire. I would support the retention of Briggs' review. For the misogyny accusations, DVD Verdict's review can cover that, but it shouldn't be written as if this is a common complaint unless we have a source that say this is the case. I'm sure we can find a source for the statement that Boris Vallejo did the poster; he's a pretty big name. I haven't done any searches for that yet. For the BDSM reception of the film, we'll need better sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NinjaRobotPirate thanks for posting here. Please feel free to rescue anything that can be properly sourced and doesn't go beyond WP:UNDUE. MarnetteD|Talk 19:28, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I updated the infobox's credits with what the poster says. Corman isn't listed on the poster as a producer, but there are some sources who identify him as an executive producer. It's not as easy as I thought to find citations for Vallejo. His signature is quite visible on the poster, but reliable sources don't seem to think it's worth mentioning.

Thanks for your efforts NinjaRobotPirate. I know that I have seen some captions that read "Theatrical film poster by 'artist name'" though I can't think have one offhand to link to as an example. But that is one possibility of how to get his name a mention. MarnetteD|Talk 22:28, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's kind of what I was thinking, too. Man, it's hard to find sources on these early 1980s exploitation films, maybe because there was such a glut of them. I even saw a few in the theater, though I don't think I've ever seen this one. From the sound of the reviews, I would probably remember if I had.
