thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:From Hell film.jpg

message: it reads like someone typed up the back of the DVD.
I can't recall the exact ending of the film, but it should be included in the summary.

replies: text: Well, I just removed that last, commercial-like sentence. At least it's a start. It still needs a lot of work though, but I don't really have the time tonight. I'll probably spend some time working on it in the next few days.--Metalhead94 (talk) 21:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It does sound like promotional packaging... but we do not have to give endings of films... in fact plot summaries are completely unnecessary unless there's some encyclopedic reason to mention it. We aren't WikiCliffsNotesSubstitute. DreamGuy (talk) 22:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plot section needs help 

message: At one point in the film, Depp's character mixes Absinthe with Laudanum (and, I assume, salt)...I can't find much reference to the mix on wikipedia and anything in this article at all about either...it's a minor point, but I'm interested to know why :-) 78.86.230.62 (talk) 21:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Chasing_the_dragon seems to be what it is known as (mentioned in the film) but, again, it's not mentioned in the article...just thought I'd point that out :-) 78.86.230.62 (talk) 21:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Absinthe/Laudanum...why? 

message: This film bears a remarkable similarity to Murder By Decree (1979) a film which pits Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson against the Ripper, with the premise of a secret royal lovechild who is catholic.
Sherlock Holmes = Christopher Plummer = Johnny Depp & Dr Watson = James Mason = Robbie Coltraine.
I am aware of the Alan Moore comic, but the film seems much closer (re-imaging, even) to Murder by Decree.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.35.211 (talk) 16:32, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Murder By Decree 

message: In the synopsis it states that the daughter, Alice, was the legitimate child of the prince and therefore heir to the throne. This may be how the film states it, but this would not have been the case. It is law that Catholics cannot sit upon the throne of the UK. It is also law that a royal may not marry without the soveriegn's permission. Therefore the marriage could not have been legal and the child was illegitimate and could not ascend to the throne.KhProd1 (talk) 03:49, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Illegitimate child 

message: I didn't hear "BangTail", but I heard:
"PinchPrick"... Just thought it was funny. I'm sure there were others mentioned in the film. Should we make a list?

thread_title:  Prostitue, or "bangtail" [Other terms, used in the film] 

message: 'Slasher' film? Really? Any citation for this? Surely seems to me this film would be much closer to drama, horror, thriller, or police procedural than slasher. But I'd rather not change it until some consensus is reached.Robbmonster (talk) 10:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
