message: Um, what's going on with the lower sections of this article?  I'm removing this stuff for now.  Looks like it maybe belongs more at WikiSource than here...  --Chinasaur 03:08, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I didn't think it was really accurate to call them "'amoral' bounty hunters". After all, when Lance Henriksen shoots the black kid, Conway Twill says "Geez, [Lance], he was just a kid." So he has some sense of morality, at least. Shame that he has to get eaten later on.
* The only one who can conceivably be called "amoral" is, IMHO, Cole Wilson, because Conway Twill actually does call him that ("he ain't got a f***ing conscience—know what I'm sayin'?"). Notcarlos 16:17, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Having seen this movie a few times now, I'm not sure at what point Blake takes peyote, especially given that, when Nobody takes the peyote, he says that it is "not for use, even by William Blake." Lack of food causes Blake's vision quest, not peyote. Notcarlos 16:15, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Hey folks, Bobo192 just reverted a few hours of edits I made to "Dead Man".  
I understood that editors are encouraged to be bold with changes, and of course it's always possible to make subsequent changes to anything editors contribute, so I tend to make bold changes and hope they'll be considered as the suggestions they are.  But if in any way I've violated the ettiquette of this specific page, I'm indeed sorry - I meant to be constructive, not rude.  
That said, is it possible that contributors to this page might overlook any impetuousness of mine and "un-revert" my hard-worked changes (I researched footnotes and everything!), if only to re-work them as deemed appropriate?  It only hurts to have them wiped out en-masse, and as a devoted fan of the film in question, I think they're actually pretty good.  
As I may have inspired this revert by not pitching in here first, and as I don't like revert wars any more I'm sure than you do, I won't contest Bobo's revert but wait to see if anyone here thinks my edits worth unreverting, if only to spur further development of the page. 
Thanks, "71.228.57.147 (talk) 01:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there. I now understand what you were trying to do, and have restored the necessary changes you made to the page - which were many more than I had originally realized, over a much greater length of time. Hopefully the article now reads as it should. Bobo. 01:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why the revert?  

message: Seriously, I am not a native English speaker so that question just popped up in my head. Sometimes i see the same words spelled separately sometimes they fused together. But maybe there is something more what different spelling might tell? Are they really have the same meaning - deadman and dead man?
There is also seems to be a minor plot glitch in the article. I think Blake cries over a dead fawn AFTER he kills marshals. I might be wrong though, plus I don't think that is worth editing.
Thank you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.46.179.50 (talk) 06:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Dead man and Deadman what's the difference?

message: In the Plot section:
"meek accountant" changed to plain "accountant"  Why is he considered "meek"?  Does a meek man defend himself to the death with a gun when a bounty is put on his head?  I don't think so.
"twisted version" changed to "sordid depiction"  The term "twisted version" implies the film is definitely inaccurate about the "American Old West" .  There are some things about the American Old West that are definitely far more historically accurate in this movie than than traditional American Old West movies which don't portray industrial excess, the Buffalo slaughter, or genoicide of American Indians much at all.  So saying it's a "twisted version" is an opinionated comment and goes against the neutral point of view NPOV objectivity guidelines.

message: User 68.34.65.29 added a few lines that seem to be original research and is tagged so.  After re-watching this film several times for a critical review, I am of the evidenced opinion that the line "It follows that all of the individuals killed by William Blake have all exploited or disrespected Native Americans in general" should be removed as they are contextually incorrect.  Lee (or Marvin), whom William Blake kills has not "exploited or disrespected Native Americans in general" unless their being white people in the West is exploiting or disrespecting Native Americans.  I am removing it.  If a revert is required, so be it. Kirkesque (talk) 07:32, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and have additionally removed the remainder of that paragraph. If citations can be found, it could be replaced. -- Quiddity (talk) 22:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

message: About credits order: I relied on Imdb for my edit. NinjaRobotPirate says that's not a reliable source. I didn't know it, now I do, so thanks. I was gonna open this section even before they chimed in: I haven't seen the movie, but yesterday I came across a video of the full English movie on youtube, published by a Spanish-speaking user. No idea if that's director's cut, a Spanish dvd or what. The credits order doesn't match Wikipedia's before I edited the article.
Opening credits in the movie at You Tube: Depp-Farmer-Henriksen-Wincott-Avital-Pop, Thorton, Harris-Glover-Byrd-Thrush, Weeks, Bringelson-Byrne-Hurt etc
+ Ending credits (in order of appearance): Depp-Glover-Haines-Duckworth-Boes-Hurt-North-Mitchum-Avital-Schrum-Byrne-Henriksen-Wincott-Byrd-Farmer etc
According to Wikipedia before I edited: Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Robert Mitchum, John Hurt, Mili Avital, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Henriksen, Michael Wincott, Eugene Byrd, Iggy Pop, Billy Bob Thornton, Jared Harris, Alfred Molina, Gibby Haynes, Michelle Thrush.
Infobox before I edited: Johnny Depp- Gary Farmer -Lance Henriksen -Michael Wincott -Eugene Byrd -Crispin Glover -Iggy Pop- Billy Bob Thornton- Jared Harris -Mili Avital- Gabriel Byrne -John Hurt -Alfred Molina- Robert Mitchum.
According to imdb, and as the article is now: Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Crispin Glover, Lance Henriksen, Michael Wincott, Eugene Byrd, John Hurt, Robert Mitchum, Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, Jared Harris, Mili Avital, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfred Molina

In a 2019 interview, Jim Jarmusch said:
:"And when you add in the special effects … [The Dead Don't Die is] the hardest film I’ve ever made. It was rough, physically, to make. I mean, Dead Man almost killed me, but I was a lot younger then."
