Talk:The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies

message: Quite a bit of the trivia information (and some of the main text) appears to be unsourced. The only source listed at this time is the IMDb entry, which has some of the trivia information, but not nearly all of it. Could the contributing editors please provide sources for this information? Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry about the unexplained NPOV tag. I had planned to add that tag because I suspect that the harshness of some of the views was not supported by any sources (regardless of how accurate it may be), but I decided that we first need to have sources, then we can worry about what their POVs are. But I forgot to remove the tag during my edit (which included many other changes). Thanks to Grandmasterka for fixing my mistake. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:00, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Actually, didn't the film known as Marat/Sade have a title longer than this film and the 1996 film? 74.226.219.107 16:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call. I've updated the article to address two problems. First, there is no source for the claim that "is also noted for having, at the time of release, the longest title in film history". The failure for us to have noticed Marat/Sade when adding the statement about Don't Be a Menace is a good example of why we need sources, not original research. Second, I've replaced that film with a note that Marat/Sade overtook Zombies 3 years later, but without specifically claiming that it was the new longest-title holder, as I have no source for that claim. (I have, however, sourced the official UK title of Marat/Sade, which for the record is The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum at Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade. I saw no compelling reason to include it in the article, let alone the necessarily brief introduction, given that it's a trivial aside and is mentioned in the first sentence of the linked article.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there is one film with a longer title...and it's also a comedy/horror film. Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3  is the name.

thread_title:  Longest title? 

message: As pointed out by the "365 Stupidest Things Ever Said" calendar, the promo for the film was as follows:
"INCREDIBLE is the word for the world's first monster musical! See in magnificent Eastman color–the DARING DANCING, enticing and horrifying–The INCREDIBLY Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!! Who is the woman branded in birth, wearing the wart of horror?"
I'm not sure how this would be incorporated into the article, so I'm just throwing it out there for people to use. Riggzy 20:33, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I put in the headings recommended by WikiProject Film, and managed to squeeze everything from the trivia/miscellenia heading into them.  Things still aren't well cited, but at least they're no longer in bullet-list form.--Dereksmootz (talk) 21:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eliminated Trivia section 

message: I've replaced the "citations missing" tag with specific fact tags for items that need reliable sources. I also did some cleanup and reformatting of the existing citations to make them easier to maintain. I suspect  a number of factual statements are supported either by the Joe Bob Briggs commentary or other material from the DVD, but we need explicit citations of where this information can be found, not just a line under "References" that means readers must watch all the supplemental material to find it for themselves. To assist efforts to make the DVD extras referenceable, I've left a single bulleted citation for "unspecified commentary and interviews" in the "References" section, including blank parameters like "time" that can be filled in with details. (I suggest replacing the "people" parameter with something like I did for the Briggs commentary, since "cite video" doesn't include a "chapter" parameter that it really needs.)
By the way, I also replaced the "Rquote" template with "Cquote". Rquote is intended for quotes embedded in wrap-around text, but there's not much text here to wrap around, so it's just Incredibly Strange Markup That Broke the Flow and Became a Whitespace Waster. ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Are the "monsters" in this movie actually zombies?  They are not dead, they don't eat humans, and you don't have to shoot them in the head to kill them.  Thoughts?  Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 13:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your definition of "Zombie" is rather limited to the Romero genre, which is not the real definition of a zombie-- ie. The African tribal belief of reanimating a corpse by supernatural force in order to become a slave.  In the case of Incredibly Strange Creatures..., the director mentions on the DVD that the "zombies" are actually mixed-up people who think that they are zombies, even though it's not clear whether they've been killed and brought back, or are just horribly scarred hypno-victims.

message: The table has three writers, one for writing the novel. WTF! Was this a joke? The same article says it was written and directed by Steckler, or am I mistaken?. Please clarify --Surten (talk) 00:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I have not seen the film, but I once read a claim that it contained the only known color footage of the old Angels Flight uphill trolley in Downtown Los Angeles. Any truth to this? Roz666 (talk) 10:06, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea about the trolley or the rarity of the footage, but the scene is here at 1h16m, on YouTube. --McGeddon (talk) 10:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
