Talk:S.W.A.T. (film)

SWAT vs. S.W.A.T. naming conventions

I propose that all references to SWAT other than the title of the movie, which is clearly S.W.A.T., be made without the periods between letters. The main article for SWAT does not use them. --Kevin Walter 07:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and made the changes, as well as major rewrites to the article. I have tagged the Plot section {{incomplete}} because it is short compared to other films. --Kevin Walter 17:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I would say that all acronyms (for example, SUV and LAPD) should be spelt without periods, since that's common usage in English - thoughts. John Coxon (talk) 15:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Alex Montel French (rather than Spanish)

Surely Alex Montel is actually French? This is pretty much clear since - he has a French, rather than Spanish, accent - he speaks French at the airport (saying "Bonjour" and "Merci" at passport control and later explaining that the knife is "pour bonheur", etc. - Director Clark Johnson himself explains that Montel is French in one of the interviews on the DVD. OK, the first two points might be explained by saying that he is, after all, pretending to be French (as Claude Bezoul), but he does not shed his French accent later. Does anyone care to clarify? --Helmold 22:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he's French - if the director says it on the DVD, it's reasonable to assume that he's correct, surely? John Coxon (talk) 15:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
