thread_title:  s and l crisis 

message: I notice two reoccurring 'themes' or elements in the movie.. which could be an allusion to Hitchcock films (items being passed all the way through the movie, I guess the watch could fall into that as well).
Sandwiches, they're in a lot of scenes
and
No white walls.  There isn't a single white wall in the movie, they're either painted or have wallpaper on them.
What do you all think?
:Airport has white walls. On the left, with Brown Sugar facing you.
::Still kind of weird that there's only one white wall in the entire movie.  Floors are usually designed too.. just an overactive set designer?
*Watch the director's commentary - at about 23 minutes he comments on the wallpaper and how he wanted the designer to be part of the movie - so, you can easily state that it was with the director's blessing/encouragement. Krupo 00:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reoccurring Themes 

message: Can someone confirm that The Fairy was actually killed? Yes, I know we saw him shot. We also saw Lindsey shot.
At the end of the film, during the phone call just before the Kelevra revelation...
'We got a new guy in the precinct. Jewish fella, funny little guy. Talks a lot.'
Is that The Fairy?
—
Hmm. I've watched it again, and it's kinda hard to fake a headshot, so I'm gonna go with 'dead'.
:Besides, the police knew who The Fairy was.  He wouldn't be able to just join up with the police and go unnoticed.
----Yes, The Fairy is almost certainly dead. He was shot by first Slevin, then GootKat. (He would have summoned the guards with his alarm at this point if he were still alive.) Oh, and then his apartment blew up; that would definitely kill him. Later on 2 burnt bodies are brought to the morgue, and two more are on the way (those bodies; the two guards, Nick Fischer, and The Fairy.)
The only way he could've survived: He was wearing a bullet-proof vest, he pretended to be dead (instead of summoning the guards), And, he had a dead body stored in his apartment, which he left there to fake his own death. (This is a joke; it's almost certain he's dead)JimmmyThePiep 05:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What became of The Fairy? 

message: I just read the recap, and there's one point I think should be changed; the part where The Fairy's killed, the recap makes it seem like the guards were on their way in and GoodKat just happened to kill them.
What actually happened was GoodKat hit the panic button to call the guards in, so he could kill them. He & Sleven easily could have gone in-and-out without them (guards) even noticing. (They were killed because they were loose ends; in this manner, almost every single character gets killed.) JimmmyThePiep 05:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor Note 

message: *The plot description is too long for an encyclopedia.  Perhaps a link to an off site plot description could be valuable, with this plot description being shortened.
*The term "official synopsis" is a bit concerning.  Is it a copy?  If so is it plagerism or infringement?
*The pertinent text from a separate article on Slevin has been merged here as a "Character Summary".  Someone may want to offer summaries on other major characters

thread_title:  Clean Up 

message: The movie is a retelling in contemporary times of the main plot elements of Akira Kurosawa's film Yojimbo (1961), (and thus Sergio Leone's 1964 film, A Fistful of Dollars). [citation needed]
''
I think this is quite a stretch... other than the fact that two antagonistic crime bosses are played of one another, I don't really see this one at all.  True for "Last Man Standing" perhaps.  Not true for this film.  I hesitate to delete it myself without discussion.  --24.18.172.229 12:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The theme that plays in the background at key points and during the credits is the same theme from A Fistful of Dollars (the watch). Obviously the producers wanted to make the connection.--Energman 09:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recycled Yojimbo Plot??!! 

message: There's a problem here. The death of the family is in the late 60s. If we take the events of the film as happening 20 years later that would place it in the late 80s. But the problem is cellular phones hardly existed in the late 80s not to mention they didn't have cameras and color screens. Is this a goof or are the events unfolding much later than 20 years from the initial murders?--Energman 09:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:LLJHL-Slevin.JPG

message: I may be wrong but I believe, "Moments later, Detective Brikowski answers a call from a fellow officer, who after looking at Slevin's surveillance picture recalls that 1979 incident; he mentions that the boy was never found, and that "Slevin" was the name of the horse," is incorrect. As I recall, the very same detective said that, "They went to town with a tomahawk. They killed everybody: Max, his wife, the kid, even the goddamn horse died." Which would seem like they had reason to believe he was dead. While watching the movie, I all along figured that Slevin was Henry but that bit the detective said about Henry dying made me second guess myself for a second.

thread_title: Henry never found?

message: Throughout the article, including the synopsis, Bruce Willis' character is referred to as Goodkat. Since this reveal is a plot development, using this name for the character is a Spoiler. Should this be changed to 'Smith', the characters name in the early section of the film?

thread_title:  Smith vs Goodkat 

message: I'm surprised that nowhere in the article it is mentioned that Kelevra means "bad dog" (as the character himself explains). Surely it is no coincidence that the killer is called Goodkat by contrast. Perhaps this should be mentioned. ﻯναოթ€ռ (talk) 23:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad Dog & Good Cat 

message: In the deleted scenes, there's an alternate ending where Slevin is the one to shoot Lindsey with Goodkat looking on, implying that she's dead.  Since this is a significant change to the ending, I'm adding it to the plot.71.103.12.74 (talk) 07:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deleted scene -- alternate ending 

message: The song played, called 'Kansas City Shuffle', was originally written by Bennie Moten but the version in the movie was performed by J. Ralph. As it is a remixed / Hip-Hop version of the classic I feel it should be written as 'Kansas City Shuffle' performed by J. Ralph as the current wording is slightly misleading.

thread_title:  Song played at the end 

message: I just finished watching Lucky Number Slevin and I can swear I read the name "Nick Fischer" in the credits as "Assistant to..." and then it moved on.  Nick Fischer is the "dead body" used in Bruce Willis' Kansas City Shuffle!!!
Was this a joke or just a coincidence?  Or, more likely, did I just misread this?
If it's a trick on the part of the director, I thought it was a good one.
