Talk:Spawn (1997 film)

message: Wait, two versions of the film - PG-13 and an "X-Rated Sex Cut" ??  Where is this cut?  I believe this may be someone's joke, as the version I have is the R-Rated Director's Cut.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.25.154.159 (talk) 05:58, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Does the change of skin colour really warrant such heavy and badly written discussion?
: Apparently the issue of race and other changes were discussed at length by readers in the letter pages of the Spawn comic books, and responded to by McFarlane. So while it would require careful work and proper citations the discussion could certainly be included based on those published sources. 
: These kinds of production and casting details are often added to film article but finding reliable sources is the difficult part. -- 109.76.245.185 (talk) 03:05, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The Spawn DVD contains two Easter Eggs (1) a Marilyn Manson Video and (2) the Clown's Backwards Line.  I own the Director's Cut DVD and verifed both exist on this version.  The video is titled Long Hard Road Out of Hell and is here on YouTube.  I'd like to see this disclosed within the main article.  Are there any objections or concerns?  Conrad T.

message: Restored Marilyn Manson video section after delete without discussion asserting copyright infringement.  IMO reference to another site is not infringement and even if it is that only justifies deleting the reference only; deleting the entre section isn't warranted in any infringement case. – Conrad T.

message: Can anyone provide a link verifying that some version of the soundtrack shipped with the Powerman 5000 track "When World's Collide"? I've looked at Amazon.com, discogs.com and rateyourmusic.com (I also own the limited US CD) and I can't find any version that shipped with that song. 2601:404:C200:F6C4:D024:CD31:CE43:861D (talk) 21:22, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed mention of Powerman 5000 from soundtrack article. They were never on the soundtrack and didn't really become popular until about 2 years after the release of the Spawn soundtrack. The Spawn soundtrack was released (according to the article) in July 1997 and Powerman 5000 first hit single "When Worlds Collide" and album "Tonight the Stars Revolt!" weren't released until July 1999.2601:404:C200:F6C4:6D4D:7AF4:91FE:63CF (talk) 22:56, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I didn't start the proposal, however I do think it would be a good idea to split the soundtrack as this article is about the film, and thus the soundtrack takes more space and makes it somewhat harder to read.  MasterData (talk) 09:54, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Screen Junkies did a Live presentation at SJ Central 2017, called "Does It Hold Up". Looking back at the film 20 years later. It features McFarlane and White as guests. 
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCEvnFO5q2g (23:51)
* Picture of MacFarlane and White posted to Facebook by McFarlane. 
They discuss various aspects of the film. McFarlane mentions "unevenness" (08:20) of the special effects. He explains that due to test screenings the studio gave more money for additional effects shots but that there was difficulty finishing (10:45) those shots. He discusses the difficulty of getting a PG-13 rating, with the MPAA judging the scenes based on their "intent" (13:40). 
They discuss the effects and the performance of John Leguiziamo as the Clown, and McFarlane and White both say that Leguiziamo really did eat maggots (15:00) which he had also said himself on Twitter: 
*  They also mention how he improvised and changed some of his lines.
** American Humane commented on the maggots scene. 
Point is there is more detail that could be included in the article and this is still a work in progress. It's easier to quote written sources than video though, and it helps show notability when other sources repeat the same information in print. -- 109.76.245.185 (talk) 02:39, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

The version of the poster in Wikipedia is too low resolution to see the billing order list so here is a higher resolution version of the poster just to make it clear that Leguiziamo had top billing and that is why he is listed first in the Infobox. -- 109.77.199.95 (talk) 01:33, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
