message: That the mysterious stranger == God is just one interpretation.
*The mysterious stranger could be another fallen angel (many christians believe the devil is a fallen angel).
*Or the mysterious stranger could be an unfallen angel.
*Or the mysterious stranger could be some kind of mystic, who had figured our enough of the supernatural mysteries of the world, that although mortal, he could interact, as an equal with the christian devil.
*Or, who says the christian supernatural pantheon is the only one?  (Rhetorical question: christians, of course.)  The mysterious stranger could be a supernatural being from some other pantheon.
My point is that it is a mistake for the article to conflate the mysterious stranger with God.
#This interpretation is not the only interpretation.
#This interpretation is unattributed.
I have no objection to the article saying something like: "One interpretation is that the mysterious stranger is Jesus himself." — so long as all the subsequent references to the mysterious stranger refer to him as the "mysterious stranger".
If no one offers a convincing explanation as to why this error shouldn't be changed I plan to do so in the near future.

replies: text: The most simple answer is, most of the time, the correct one. While there may be other interpretations, the most plausible one is an interpretation where the "mysterious stranger" is god himself. On the other hand, assuming that the stranger is god when other interpretatios are available seems a little off to me. I propose we add something like what you said, but a little more convincing that this is the most simple and plausible theory. Or we could just name him "The black dude" Acglaphotis 15:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: IMBD's credits list the character as "Elliot's Cellmate/Angel", and their quotes section as "Elliot's Cellmate".  Unless the actual credits say something different, or there's some other secure reason for making the equation, I think the equation with God seems a bit speculative and "OR"ish.

message: Why not put about Liz Hurley's taste for spanking? Maybe the scene refers to the actress interests. This is well proved.«Liz Hurley enjoys a spanking»  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.9.174.147 (talk) 14:36, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Listing "Mary" as one of Brendan Fraser's roles/personas is somewhat erroneous. Gay men often call each other "Mary", so it's unlikely that "Mary" is an enduring personal nickname for Elliot in this wish-scenario where he's gay. A couple of sources for good measure.
