Association with the MPAA?

This movie is one of two movies that I've seen with a "Proudly presented by the Motion Picture Association of America" credit in the beginning of the movie. The other one was The Impossible Years (1968), which was one of the first movies to get a G rating apparently. Does this have any significance? Why don't other movies have such a credit? Did the MPAA provide any special help? -- Suso 03:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kingpin DVD cover.jpg

Image:Kingpin DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Trivia?

Can we cut down the trivia section? it's longer than the rest of the article! Capuchin 14:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I noticed in the movie Semi-Pro Woody Harrelsons character sports a 'Munson' Jersey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.232.158.207 (talk) 06:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

An editor went ahead and deleted the whole section. WP:TRIVIA is discouraged but it can be cleaned up and the article improved.
A lot of the trivia section is about filming locations. This could be added to a Production section.
This article does not include a Cast section. Cast information including cameos would address another portion of what was listed as Trivia.
In another longer version of the trivia section there are a few films parodied by Kingpin, these should be possible to reference using critics reviews of the film, avoiding problems of WP:OR original research. Prose would be better than a list of parodies, but it isn't immediately clear how best to do that. With more work it might be possible to present as part of Production/Writing section. -- Horkana (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
