message: Can someone cite proof of the Blade Runner connection?  I would be very surprised if this were true.  I see no visual connection whatsoever between the explosion scene is ZP and the opening "fireballs" in BR.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.111.125 (talk) 01:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The film is good, but Wikipedia is not trying to say the truth, but to give a neutral point of view. Most reliable printed sources say the film is bad, so the article should stay as it is. Plus, I would be confused if the article would say that the film is good. I would never know what to understand from a Wikipedia article on a film. A better example is "It's All About Love", which is obviously a masterpiece, and it is simply dismissed on Wikipedia. So learn to read. Change yourself, don't try to change the world.

message: ::::::::If we say that Mark has blond hair that would be false. Source: The film Zabriskie Point published in 1970.
::::::::If we were to say that Mark may or may not have shot the policeman that would be false. Source: The film Zabriskie Point published in 1970. The shot that kills the policeman goes off when Marks gun is still in his boot. Also, he tells Daria that he "never got off a shot" and empty's all the bullets from his pistol at the end of the outhouse scene at Zabriskie Point.
::::::::There is no more authoritative published source than the film itself... surely you agree with that, eh?
::::::::As you re-watch the film please note that the guy Mark buys the guns with is NOT his roommate and that they purchase two rifles on top of at least one handgun.    CEHenderson (talk) 17:09, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The article uses five screenshots from the film, and four of them do not appear to be tied to critical commentary in the article. Non-free images need to be contextually significant. In particular, the frame or the contents of the frame should be relevant to critical commentary in the article. Changeling (film)#Closing sequence is an example. The screenshots in the "Plot" section are only accompanying a description of the film, and the screenshot in the "Cast" section only serve to show the actors, which is insufficient. I would also argue that the Richfield Tower screenshot is unnecessary because a free image from the tower's article can be used here. The screenshot in relation to the film's cinematography is sufficient for me. Is there any context that can be added so the other screenshots are more usable? Or perhaps replaced by others?

replies: text: I researched the topic a little and added the references I found at the top of the talk page. It looks like if the article can expand with critical commentary from these references, then screenshots could be added to illustrate them. I would recommend removing the four screenshots, focusing on the commentary, and then determining what screenshots from the film would best suit the new commentary. It's not easy (and a bit forced) to try to find commentary to suit an existing image. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:20, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The article should discuss how the special effects were done, specifically the various shots with the plane in flight, and the finale (presumably a miniature but if so it looked very real). Mathew5000 (talk) 06:55, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

message: The article lists as distributors Daria Halprin and Mark Frechette who are the stars.
Did they go around selling the film?

message: Zabriskie point was directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and produced by Carlo Ponti, hence it's an italian movie, not an american one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.31.139.64 (talk) 08:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The nationality of a film is not determined by the nationality of the director or the producer, it's determined by what company produced it and where the financing came from.  The production companies for Zabriskie Point were MGM and Trianon, both American companies, and it is listed in the AFI Catalog of American feature films.
