Talk:Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

message: did anchorman really have a dream sequence?  I don't think I've ever seen it and I've seen the movie at least 7 times.  Perhaps in the extras or deleted scenes?
:yep - it's around the middle of movie when ron says he can't go to the pancake dinner with the guys. they are sitting around in the newsroom.  The dream is of veronica at home doing the housework and they have two kids.  johnSLADE (talk) 10:45, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  As previously noted, there's an unrated cut of this film, which is both on DVD and is shown on cable (they seem to alternate between versions for some odd reason).  The dream sequence is shown in the unrated cut.  Also, I believe that in the direct-to-DVD "lost movie" cobbled together from cut scenes, WAKE UP RON BURGUNDY, this sequence is used.

message: I think something should be added on the cult following that has been established for this film. its a film that has been taken to heart by thousands and is oft quoted
:I disagree that Anchorman is a cult film or that it has a cult following. It achieved pretty widespread success, considering it's gross, large fanbase and upcoming sequel. Usually a cult film is one that appeals to a small portion of people who love it with intensity, but I think a lot of people like Anchorman, and Will Ferrell is certainly a big star.Comatmebro ~Come at me~ 22:54, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lionel Messi cameo? 

message: So, I disagree with labeling "the balls" as his nickname. Listening to the sound byte in the citation, it says "In other words, he was the balls." Later in the movie, everyone introduces their own nicknames. I believe that the narrator is calling him the balls kind of like you call someone the bomb, or the bees-knees. None of these are nicknames, and have very similar usage. I would suggest we remove "The Balls" as his nickname.

Found an interview from Anchorman 2 where Apatow also talks about the first film. The article includes lots of casting information that could be added to the production section. The strangest note is that James Spader expressed interest in playing Brick. -- 109.78.245.27 (talk) 07:01, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
