Talk:True Lies

message: This is on James Cameron's wiki: Before the release of T2, Schwarzenegger came to Cameron with the idea of remaking the French comedy La Totale! Titled True Lies, with filming beginning after T2's release, the story revolves around a secret-agent spy who leads a double life as a married man, whose wife believes he is a computer salesman. Schwarzenegger was cast as Harry Tasker, a spy charged with stopping a plan by a terrorist to use nuclear weapons against the United States. Jamie Lee Curtis and Eliza Dushku played the character's family, and Tom Arnold the sidekick.
Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment signed on with Twentieth Century Fox for production of True Lies. Made on a budget of $115 million and released in 1994, the film earned $146 million in North America, and $232 million abroad. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.98.70 (talk) 20:53, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

That is how this article starts. I don't think this movie is based on a true story... DurotarLord 19:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: At about 1350 words, the plot summary of this article had become much too large and was recently tagged as such.  To remedy this I have replaced it with a much briefer (650 words) summary from an earlier revision .  I have also retained the image of Eliza Dushku which was apparently embedded in the summary after the time of the earlier revision. --Tony Sidaway 17:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: It would be good to add information about the various filming locations and the scenes that were filmed there.  IMDB says some of the movie was filmed in Toronto, but I'm unable to find out what scenes.  PKT(alk) 19:56, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

message: All major movie websites define the genres of this film as primarily action and thriller. It is wrong to describe this movie as "adventure comedy" and not even mention action. I will edit the page if it is not fixed. Deep Guy (talk) 20:51, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

message: A new editor,  is persisting with creating a "controversy" section in the article. I have reverted twice now, but he keeps restoring his edits without addressing the numerious problems I have highlighted:
#The segregation of content is not justified. The length of the section (two sentences) does not justify creating a new section for what is essentially a very short paragraph. Also, MOS:FILM#Controversies recommends not creating controversy sections structured along POV lines, which this edit certainly does.
#A review by National Review  criticised the film for its treatment of its female characters, finding it misogynistic. The previous version of the article correctly attributed this opinion to the National Review but the editor changed it to "some critics". This statement is unsubstantiated and fouls foul of WP:WEASELWORDS as an unsupported attibution.
#The edit also stripped citation details out of the references (namely The New York Times, The Orlando Sentinel and The Gainesville Sun) leaving them as WP:BAREURLS. I consider this borderline vandalism. In addition to stripping out the citation details, the editor also moved them from their strategic locations (making it clearer which claims they corroborated) to the end of the sentence.
#The editor also added further sources which seem to serve no further purpose. This is in itself is not a huge problem, but the claim were not being challenged and fivae citatiosn for an unchallenged claim probably falls within WP:OVERCITE.
Please do not restore the content without either containing a WP:Consensus for the edits or addressing the issues highlighted above. Betty Logan (talk) 20:06, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  New controversy section 

message: There has been a recent spate of edits by an IP reordering the sections in the article. This results in a counter-intuitive order: The home media section now appears before the theatrical release, which is illogical from a reader's perspective. The "cancelled sequel" section is moved to the "Other media" section. A sequel is not "other media": a second film would be of the same media as the first film, so doesn't belong in such a section. I am restoring the original ordering and I urge the anonymous editor to join the talk page and obtain a consensus for their edits before restoring them again.
