Talk:Dick Tracy (1990 film)

message: The article mentions Mr. Baldwin having a cameo in the movie, however I can't find any mention of him on IMDB or an obvious return through Google.
Is he really in the movie? iKato 22:12, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alec Baldwin? 

message: I understood the film to have been a disappointment, financially speaking. If it made such a large return on the initial investment does anyone know why a sequel wasn't made? 193.129.65.37 04:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As perhaps the biggest fan of this movie in the world, I would love nothing more than to see a sequel.  --MatthewUND(talk) 20:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

text: As of now (mid-2006), Beatty is in court and got the go-ahead with the lawsuit. Hopefully, he will make a sequel or maybe a prequel. Check YouTube, there's a fantastic fan-made trailer of a Tracy Prequel of Daniel Craig as Tracy! That would rock! --Jonathan.Bruce 12:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been 20 years since Dick Tracy was released. Warren Beatty is too old to play the part. If anything, it's time for a reboot - new actors. Disney now owns Marvel Studios. Maybe they can do it.173.58.64.64 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 19:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sequel 

message: I recall Entertainment Tonight proclaiming that the figure would be recalled, but I saw no evidence that it actually occurred, as it remained a common figure.  I believe Collectible Toys & Values said that the recall never got past the talking stage, and that it only briefly created a surge in demand for the figure in collector circles.  I can't cite it, so I just put  by the claim that the figure was actually recalled. --Scottandrewhutchins 15:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments:
#Image:Dick tracy1.jpg has an author information problem that needs to be rectified. Details can be found on the image's main page
#The fair use rationale for Image:124526 dick l.jpg needs to be more detailed - specifically, it must at least mention what article(s) it is to be used in and have a separate rationale for each. Aside from the fact that's incomplete, the one on Image:Dick tracy1.jpg is good
#"When one of them refuses, he meets an untimely demise." (Plot) Since this is an encyclopedic article on the film, it needs to mention exactly which one (I have no idea, I haven't seen the film)
#I did a copyedit to get rid of the tag but, since I haven't seen the film, please review at least the Plot section to make sure that I didn't accidentally introduce any factual errors in the process
#The wikilink for James Keane leads to a long-dead bishop, which I doubt was your intention
#All one-two sentence paragraphs must either be expanded or merged with the surrounding paragraphs, as they break up the prose and disrupt its flow (I think there's only one, the first paragraph of "Production", but it's something to keep in mind for further editing)
#There are three direct quotes in the second and third paragraphs of "Production" without direct citations — direct quotes require direct citations, even if it's the same one used at the end of the sentence/paragraph. There's also one in "Casting", one in "Music", two in "Release and controversies", two in "Critical analysis" and two in "Sequel"
#"Danny Elfman was in vacation at the Bahamas for three days when Warren Beatty flew him to Los Angeles about him writing the film score for Dick Tracy." (Music) This is not a proper sentence. Neither is "It was to premiere in the Videopolis theater at Disney Land, whereas a casting call was written." (Release and controversies)
#I personally feel that the awards would work better as prose than as an embedded list, but that may just be me, and I can easily see the arguments. Not something I will hold against a GA pass, but something to think about.

replies: text: Well, a week certainly did this article some good... it looks a lot better than when I first reviewed it. The references all check out as well, so everything looks good. You mentioned that you felt like something was missing. My only commentary was that I felt that the tone of many of the sections seemed a bit casual... not so much as to prevent me from passing this as a Good Article, but something you might want to look at if you're seeking to improve it. Anyhow, congratulations and thank you for your hard work! Cheers, CP 07:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

message: What city does this movie take place in? I mean, at the end, Big Boy is fleeing up a drawbridge and says, "Oh, the City, they'll never find me there!" Huh? I'm confused. Really. Apple8800 (talk) 09:34, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  City? 

message: There's no mention of this film based on the two separate comic strip stories "Big Boy Turns up the Heat" and "Everything comes up Blank". Or is it vice versa? Information added to the article would be appreciated. Deltasim (talk) 18:34, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two separate stories 

message: Calling this an action movie is a hugely misleading disservice. Die Hard is a pure action movie. Dick Tracy is rather crime, detective, mystery, but it's important that it's not entirely serious, it has a comedic tone and a comic book inspired look.
