Talk:Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 film)

message: Needs to have the grammar and spelling cleaned up and the cast list condensed with a table of only the main characters. Who wants to know the identity of the person who played "Policeman"? hitman012 19:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: It should have the same treatment as the Shelby had in Gone in 60 seconds in 2000 (see Shelby_Mustang#1967). The information should be merged from 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Eleanor into Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 film) & in the section Ford_Mustang_Mach_1#Growth_Happens. Plus it is not linked to and it isn't that notable. Lincher 17:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm a bit underwhelmed by the first two sentences of the "Production" section, that read: "Gone in 60 Seconds was classified as an independent film — H. B. Halicki wrote, starred, directed, produced and even did his own stuntwork in the film, which, at the time, was phenomenal.  In a contemporary context, however, the portions of the film preceding the chase sequences are seen as typical of a badly acted 1970s movie. " 
There are some strange suggestions made here:
# It used to be phenomenal that one person wrote, starred, directed, produced and did the stunts for a movie, but now it is not anymore;
# From a current perspective, the acting is bad. Inference: current acting is better than acting 40 years ago;
# There is a genre called "1970s movies", which suggests that they have more in common than just having produced in the 70s.
Not to mention the weasel wordings: "[the film] was classified as an independent film" and "[the first scenes of the film] are seen as typical of a [...] 1970s movie".
I would suggest a re-write of this section; I'd do it myself but I have not seen this film, I have no knowledge of film studies or anything related and I don't really know my way around 1970's USA either.

replies: text: The "Production" section lacks references in its entirety. I'm not surprised that it has these issues. The article has not gotten much attention from anyone, unfortunately. If you want to rewrite it, you could search on Google Books Search and include results such as these. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:53, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
