message: what scenes are in the Unrated version that are unavailable in the R-rated version? Streamless 18:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject." (a few lines above where you wrote this.) But, I'm gonna go out on a limb since I just saw it this weekend and say all the scenes that are in the special features menu under the title of "Unrated Cuts" (or something to that effect - not sure on exact wording). — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 02:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I corrected 2 errors. 
1) "However, in an obvious deus ex machina, Landfill's twin brother, Gil (also played by Heffernan), suddenly appears and expresses his desire to join their team; Gil is so similar to Landfill that he even takes his nickname." 
This is poorly worded. I changed it to, "However, in an obvious deus ex machina, Landfill's twin brother, Gil (also played by Heffernan), suddenly appears and expresses his desire to join their team. Gil is similar to Phil, yet better in almost every way, and asks to be referred by the same nickname as his deceased brother; Landfill."
2)"Along with the beer consumption humor like a beer goggles scene, the film also makes fun of ethnic stereotypes, such as the Canadian team wearing hockey jerseys, the English team speaking in nearly indecipherable cockney..."
This is incorrect. The resulting confusion lies in a mixture of British slang and Cockney rhyming slang. ("You're all fur coat and no trousers" and "we're gonna put the skitters in your Alan Whickers, you plonker!") Some of these slang words are Cockney rhyming slang (Alan Whicker#Trivia), but others are merely British slang. As which can be seen with plonker.
Ergo, I changed the 2 to, "Along with the beer consumption humor like a beer goggles scene, the film also makes fun of ethnic stereotypes, such as the Canadian team wearing hockey jerseys, the English team speaking in nearly indecipherable British slang and Cockney rhyming slang..."

message: The spelling troupe was changed to troop.  Both are valid in English generally so I've changed it back.  However, since this is an American movie by Americans the should be in American English.  Are both valid in American English.  If not, then someone revert my reversion. Jimp 02:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The warmp up jerseys the USA team wears seems to be an homage to the 1980 US hocky team that as huge underdogs, went on to win the gold.
I think the only actual Germans among the German team are Ralf Moeller and Gunter Schlierkamp (who ironically has no speaking lines).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Recharge138 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible Trivia? 

message: I did lots of work last November fleshing out this page's plot description:  
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Victorcoutin at 2007-11-03T15:28:24   
. 
A contributor named Dorftrottel added  
to this article and it proceeded to be gutted. This is the only contribution that Dorftrottel ever made to this page, and he did so without any comment or notations.
The plot section of the article wasn't actually very long, but it was full of carefully scrutinized details made by many of us. Dorftrottel quit Wikipedia soon after. I inspected his "talk" page, it looks kind of like he was at the root of several disputes due to similar types of intrusions on pages. I believe personally it is bad Wikipedia etiquette to swoop down on a page for the first time and decide that huge portions of the entire page aren't satisfactory without ever having even contributed to the page and without having done any work to build the page. 
I even went in and tried to edit the plot section down to a few sentences - in good faith. It only took two hours for someone to come in and undo my edit. This shows that the plot section isn't really too long, because WE the contributors to the page feel that the detailed version of the plot is warranted.
I am writing this here to suggest that the plot section of the page be returned to its original detail. If no one else does, I will volunteer to come in and restore the details that have been taken out since the beginning of June. The user "Dorftrottel" was wrong in adding "The plot summary in this article or section is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the article" box and obviously he got to the point where he soon after gave up his Wikipedia ID because of other edits like this one. This is not me personally attacking Dorftrottel. Dorftrottel (perhaps unintentionally) contributed to an unjustified  and frivolous edit to this page that I am hereby suggesting be reversed. --Victorcoutin (talk) 04:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
