thread_title:  Nikita vs. La Femme Nikita 

message: The article currently reads The heist degenerates into a firefight with the local police in which her friends are killed. What is actually meant? In American English at least, firefight only means for people to "fight" a fire or try ti extinguish it. My guess is that gunfight or shootout or something similar was intended. But, since I haven't seen the movie, I don't want to change it without checking. Vishahu 17:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think firefight is also used in American English to mean gunfight between groups of people, as it is used in this article.  Acegikmo1 02:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Firefight" is only used in American and other types of English to refer to exchanges of gunfire. I've never seen it used to describe the practice of actually extinguishing fires. "Firefight" is the correct term and used in the correct context in the article. Badgerpatrol 00:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed. "Firefight"(n.) (one or two words) does indeed refer to a multiple-gun battle of significant duration or intensity. The term is of (U.S.?) military origin, later introduced into civilian vocabulary. Oddly "fire fighting" and "firefighter" (joined or not) refer only to the suppression of fires, not to be confused with "suppressing fire(n.)" which again refers to gun tactics. Heh. --Lexein (talk) 21:13, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Are we sure the character's last name is "Taylor"? That seems like a rather not-French name.  Joyous! | Talk 03:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nikita's last name 

message: This is the English Wikipedia, so we mention the name of the release in an English-speaking country. Especially since there are multiple sources. --Lexein (talk) 20:56, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Is it worth noting that the film later became an understudy to Besson's better received film Léon four years later? Halconen (talk) 22:37, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Since the poster shows none of the actors, it would be helpful if (preferably free) images of the production or actors could be included in the article (req. from article feedback). --Lexein (talk) 17:35, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Besson felt that the film was inappropriately promoted in the United States, proposing that "Nikita is an action film but was released in American art houses. ..."
Besson fails to grasp the North American art house audience. The Decline of the American Empire, Blood Simple, and Nikita would make a perfect old-timey Montreal art house Friday night triple header (after Sunday afternoon's Andrei Rublev, Tuesday's La Belle Noiseuse, Wednesday's Fanny and Alexander, and Thursday's time-actually-stood-still Merchant Ivory). 
What the habitual art house customer wants is better mental plot continuity than a few hot, humid, unloved pizza boxes scattered around the set amid all the cheese-scented humpy pumpy; what we want is sustained psychological tension that cuts across the war/sex/gore. 
By no means necessary, it would nevertheless bring better balance to the force to bookend this uncomprehending, outsider sentiment with a contrasting view from a film critic with an actual clue (about audience, venue, and taste in the Great Cultural Wasteland of the New World). 
Also, note that a French Silence of the Lambs would have received the same initial treatment—it, too, being mainly an art film. — MaxEnt 16:52, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
