Talk:An American Werewolf in London

message: This movie isnt a romantic comedy. It has a woman. It has a man. He turns into a werewolf and gets shot and dies. There are about 5 jokes in the movie. This is a horror movie. There is gore and decapitation and more blood.This is stupid. Delete this article and stop deleting music articles. And why is every singer under the gay icons category? Is wiki going to the dogs? -Gates, not bothering to sign in. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.95.116.133 (talk • contribs).
:It's certainly not a 'romantic' comedy but this has many OBVIOUS comedic elements
:It's a perfect blend of comedy & horror in almost equal measures, how could you miss the genius comedy running through this film?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.116.129 (talk • contribs) 
:Frank Oz was credited on this page as miss piggy who is not in an American werewolf in London...
Miss Piggy and Kermit appear on TV during the movie. That's why they get a credit mention.

thread_title: Genre

message: Okay, let's take this to the talk page. What genre does this film belong to? Apart from the flirtation with "romantic comedy" documented above, it's been listed as "comedy horror" for a while now. User:Sennen goroshi dropped the "comedy" because he disagreed with it, I dug through the references for the article to find a reviewer highlighting the comedy aspect of it, and Sennen has now checked the official website and recategorised it as a thriller, which seems even further from the mark (and I'm not sure what part of the site he's taken that from, although it is a fairly confusing place to navigate). What do other editors think? --McGeddon 15:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  once you go to the official site, and click 'enter the moors' a flash intro starts and says blah blah blah blah thriller. thriller sounds dumb, but thats what it says. i still think its horror rather than comedy horror, it's certainly not 'scream' or something along those lines. its a horror movie with a touch of comedy. kinda hard to deal with. i say horror. you say comedy horror, the official site says thriller.Sennen goroshi 16:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I still lean towards comedy/horror.  It employs black comedy rather than slapstick, as used in Scary Movie or other comedy/horror films.  Its certainly not a thriller, as most people would use the term, despite what the official site says.  I suppose it could go without the comedy title just because it is mostly a horror film, and many could watch it for the horror aspect alone and completely miss the humor aspects.  Go ahead and relabel it if you must, thanks for discussing the issue. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 12:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  after seeing how stupid thriller looked there, Im happy for it to remain as a comedy horror, well Im not 100%, but I dont see the need for me to be an ass about it. comedy/horror it is.Sennen goroshi 16:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm sure some of the scenes around the girlfriend's flat are filmed on Haverstock Hill, Hampstead. It's not mentioned in the article. Does anyone recognise the big old church? Spanglej (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Ok, I've read this sentence through several times, but cannot understand what it is supposed to mean.
"This made Landis realize that he could never be able to confront the undead and gave him the idea for a film in which a man of his own age would go through such a thing."
Is it supposed to say "would never" instead of "could never"? Even so, it still doesnt make much sense to me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dead celeb (talk • contribs) 21:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Correction

message: I wonder if anyone will know if my imagination is running wild here. I used to own this movie on videotape in the 1980s and watched it several times. I just recently saw it again on television and there is a scene that I swear is different from the video I owned. While David Naughton is lying on the ground immediately after the first werewolf is shot and killed, he looks to the side and sees a body lying next to him. On TV, the body was that of a stranger - the werewolf who had morphed back into a human. But I swear on my home video version in the 1980s, the person lying next to him was his friend (played by Griffin Dunne). Does anyone know if two scenes were shot and used in different versions?

replies: text:  Perhaps I am remembering wrongly. But I watched the video version several times and I am surprised if I misidentified the person lying next to him. I no longer have the video so I can't compare. Oh well. ZincOrbie (talk) 17:19, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scene change? 

message: It is not clear where the $10 million budget figure comes from. Neither BoxOfficeMojo nor TheNumbers lists a budget figure. From the article text it seems like the number might have come from the book Cult Movies 3 by Danny Peary, but I don't have the book to verify and it is not clear, only suggested because it is mentioned in the same paragraph as other information from that book. If someone can verify and then reused the named references to the book, so that it is also clearly marked in the Reception/Box Office section that the budget figure is properly sourced. -- 109.77.173.25 (talk) 15:11, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This article is underdeveloped and undersourced, and needs to be rewritten. The production section is too short and needs to be expanded in more detail with proper citations from reliable sources, more information on the film's development, casting, make-up effects, and filming will need to be added in sub-sections within the production section, all information will need to include proper citations from reliable sources. The release and reception section also need to be expanded in more detail with proper citations given for its information. There are so many sources that are unsourced and should either be given proper citations from reliable sources or should be removed from the article if none can be found. Information on the film's legacy should also be added to the article with proper citations as well and the sections detailing the film's sequel and upcoming remake should be well written and well sourced. This article is one that can easily become FA if enough attention is given to it. Hopefully someone comes along and gives it the attention it needs.--Paleface Jack 18:16, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
