replies: text: Actually, the self-defense claim would be pretty good.  Poe is clearly in Federal detention, but if he hadn't been mustered out yet the Feds might have been able to prosecute him. In any event, the entire section lacks sources. DCB4W (talk) 03:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Federal Jurisdiction? 

message: "A self-defense claim would be shot down in many states because he immediately used a lethal move once his opponent brandished the knife; legally, you must at least try to run in this situation. Some D.A.'s would overlook it, except for the fact he was a willing combatant when the fight started; a willing combatant in a fight that "goes wrong" can never be sure to dodge a manslaughter charge."
I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from. But, if you consider the fact that Poe was a soldier, his training would not automatically assume him to run away. His goal would eb to neutralize the threat. if this was a combat situation, you wouldn't expect a soldier to try to get safely away without knowing that the combatant won't come after you. Ok, say Poe did not defend himself and got away. In that scene, that guy would have followed right behind Poe and he would've stabbed him, plain and simple. I mean, it really is self-defense, because his life was in danger. Whether he thought he was going to lose his life or not, we will never know. But, it's not just so simple to say that claiming self-defense isn't credible in this case.

replies: text: The section is original research, so I removed it.  It's not a relevant sub-topic to discuss unless secondary sources explicitly bring it up.  We editors can't introduce new sub-topics of our own accord, citing sources that otherwise have nothing to do with the film. —Erik (talk • contrib) 15:55, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  More discussion on the self-defense argument 

message: I question the statement that the little girl escaped Garland unharmed, I think he may have raped the little girl as the movie provides two clues.  The first clue is somewhat symbolic, a scene with a teacup cracked in half, implying force and violence.  The second clue is that Garland has a bloodstain around his groin region when he is seen buckling in on the airplane as it is about to leave Lerner before the plane takes off and the girl is seen waving.--63.117.244.158 (talk) 21:59, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The girl is seen smiling and waving at the airplane. To even suggest that this same child may have been raped by a violent criminal just prior to this scene is deeply disturbing.Racerx11 (talk) 04:55, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

text: In the official novelization of the screenplay commissioned by Touchstone, the girl says "Good-bye Garland. Come again soon," as the plane takes off from the trailer park (page 177). Kotterdale99 (talk) 21:24, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did Garland Green rape the little girl? 

message: Shouldn't this be added to the wiki page: "During the filming of Conair starring Nicolas Cage and John Cusak, a cargo plane fell on a crew member named Phillip Swartz. According to the Los Angeles Times, Swartz was a member of the special effects department on this movie. He was working on the plane when it fell, pinning him in place. Swartz was crushed to death by the plane, which places his accident among the most brutal Hollywood movie set deaths to date."

thread_title:  Crew Death 

message: Should it be noted somewhere about how the online webcomic Homestuck has a sort of obsession with Con Air, the its main character John liking the movie, and referencing it throughout the comic multiple times? It even has its own flash animation, its own song, and a tribute song to its starring character, and several major references that tie it directly into the plot.

message: I'm wondering about this line in the write up, ...drove through three states with the head of his underage victim on the cockpit.  Where is the "cockpit" in a car? Is this what he said?  Just wanted to make sure!Rhodesisland (talk) 10:43, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: What Greene says is "One girl... I drove through three states wearing her head as a hat." Don't know where the person who added the cockpit bit got it from. I have fixed the mistake. - Kollision (talk) 17:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I think most actors not introduced, if anything, goes in favor of having cast names in plot, since this film has such an extensive cast, and we could obviously add first names too, if that is a problem. Reading the plot, I found myself switching back and forth between Plot and Cast sections, trying to picture the characters in my head, since it's impossible to remember so many people from the Cast section at one time. Also FYI the edit summary on your last edit got cut off. Daß Wölf (talk) 23:37, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that there are a lot of bit parts, many not central to the plot, and people keep adding to the plot with those minor characters; as such the large number of names that would need to be included and blue-linked would slow down reading. --MASEM (t) 01:29, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
