message: Why does the title need to be defined in the first paragraph?  It's a standard English word.

message: Can someone justify to me why this page is in the Blaxploitation films category?  I don't want to delete it before asking, but it doesn't seem to fit a number of blaxploitation characteristics.  --Rocketgoat 18:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the analysis section supposed to be kept current? Because it refers to the UPN network in the present tense and it no longer exists.Bobbyi 15:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  analysis section outdated? 

message: Corrected some false plot points, reworded some awkward construction, removed some of the wiki references. Isn't the first mention of a character or actor the only time they should be linked to their wiki page? "Julius" (Mos Def) was linked 4 times throughout the page. I also think its unnecessary to put the actor portraying the character after every single mention of the character's name. There were 4 "Julius (Mos Def)" constructions as well.
Also rewrote some cliche-ridden and poorly written sections ("only to have" replaced with "but" in 3 places, etc.) Raphaelaarchon 07:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Synopsis reworded, corrected

message: I could or could not give two shits (depending on how you read that expression) about Broadway musicals but I care about tax shelters.  Someone who has actually seen it can clarify but I thought they were trying to bomb because they oversold shares to investors, not because they wanted a tax shelter.69.255.170.233 (talk) 05:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Producers" reference 

message: Hey. The plot synopsis skips a couple really important bits by failing to include details about the Mau Maus (or their execution of Manray) until they're shot by the cops. Is there a reason for this? Albert Mond (talk) 10:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  On the plot 

message: Since a user using changing IP addresses refuses to start a discussion, I am starting one here.  First, the user changed the film poster stating, "Does the image really need to be that creepy?", which falls into WP:IDONTLIKEIT.  Second, the user changed the film poster saying that it was a promotional poster, when in the past the other poster stated it was the promotional poster.  Third, the user changed the film poster saying it is the European poster.  With an ever changing list of reasons, seems to me trying to throw everything at the wall to see if any of them will stick.  Current and past versions of the article support the first film poster as being the correct one and without any evidence provided to the contrary, it should stay in the infobox, which I will due unless there is a consensus formed to make the change.

replies: text: I don't think it really matters, but without a good-faith reason, the status quo version should probably stay.  If that's the European version, then, sure, I guess we should use the American version.  But I'm not seeing any evidence provided.   suggests we use impawards.com to sourc posters, and they don't seem to label either as specifically American or European.  Maybe raise the issue at WT:FILM and see if one of them can provide better advice.  I don't usually bother spending much time looking for posters. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:40, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: i added this to the "See also" section. perhaps not the ideal location, but i strongly feel it should be mentioned somewhere, especially as Spike Lee makes the reference explicit in the very first scene of the "Mantan" pilot. I think the Producers (1967?) might be mentioned as well, but at least i didn't notice an explicit reference as to the Howard Beal speech "I want you to open your window..." --91.64.59.134 (talk) 01:08, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
