message: I think there is a serious problem with the picture, considering that you can't see most of his face.  Anyone have a pic to put up instead, as I think this one just looks unencyclopedic and should be taken down ASAP. Chris b shanks 21:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: who said he got the idea for Clerks after being inspired by the book and following a section that talked about using what you have, in Smith's case, he has full access to the quick stop
  Actually, Kevin stated that it was Slacker that made him want to make movies. He said that Rebel Without a Crew simply inspired him to write Clerks. based on what he had access to. RyanGFilm (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't understand one thing ... just because Bob resigned from the Directors' Guild (which I think was a very honorable thing to do), does that mean his right to work and earn a living as a movie director has been snuffed out by the Guild? If so, the guild would appear to be an extremely ugly & evil orgnaisation indeed. But I find this very hard to believe. Could someone who knows please clarify this situation?
:He can still direct movies (as he did Sin City), but not with the major studios since they have exclusive agreements to only use DGA directors in their pictures.  This probably limits his options a bit, but he is well known enough that he can probably make the movies he wants to make.  George Lucas and Quentin Tarrantino are also not DGA members, and they manage to make a living --James 03:20, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Shark Boy and Lava Girl didn't "die" at the box office, it was just mediocre.  The whole passage on Shark Boy and Lava Girl in this article consists of poorly-written and poorly-punctuated sentences.  AnonMoos 07:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In the commentary on the Spy Kids 2 DVD, Bob says he is a movie-maker not a flim-maker, because he shoots in HD. Timothy Clemans 00:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: *There is a scene in Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 2 where Elle Driver's head is being pushed into a toilet bowl.  Elle eventually reaches up and flushes the toilet.  There is a very similar scene in Rodriquez's Sin City where Jackie Boy's head is also being pushed into a toilet bowl.  Jackie Boy attempts to flush the bowl, but this time Dwight pushes Jackie Boy's hand away, so he can suffer some more.  
*In the segment Rodriguez directed in Four Rooms, "The Misbehavers", Ted the Bellhop gets a large needle stuck in his thigh.  In Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 2 The Bride also gets a needle stuck in her thigh.  Both character's reactions are acted out very similarly.
I took these down. They are merely scenes that are similar in two of their movies, not instances where they worked together Mfishrules 22:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, that the Sin City reference is coincidence mainly because that came from the graphic novels first, however RR and OT did collaborate on Four Rooms and that could be a homage to RR (OT does love his homages) and could point to a theoretical collaboration, in the loosest definition of the word.

message: User:Christopherglez81 has changed the sentence Finally, in the fall of 1990, his entry in a local film contest earned him a spot in the university's film program where he made the award-winning 16mm short, "Bedhead." to say that it was an 8mm short.  However, a quick Google search turned up several sites referring to it as a 16mm short, for instance, this one: . If this is incorrect, would someone fix it and cite a source? Otherwise, Christopher, stop changing it to say "8mm." FreplySpang 19:18, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It should be mentioned that Robert wrote the script for the movie Curandero, were Carlos Gallardo plays the lead character. Said movie was directed by Eduardo Rodriguez (relation?). The weird thing about this movie is that it was suppoused to come out on 2005, but in the official site it says Coming soon...
There are also some others Robert/Gallardo collaborations that should be investigated.

message: It doesn't add to the knowledge of many and I know that in the States you can decide to be names "Donald Duck" tomorrow if you want, but I thought that Robert's first name was actually Roberto and that what he signed El Mariachi.
Shouldn't we add something like Robert (a.k.a. Roberto) ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.50.151.50 (talk) 20:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry to point this out... but, in the article, there are 53 occurrences of the spelling Rodriguez (no accent mark on the "i") and 37 occurrences of Rodríguez (accent mark on the "i", thus following the Spanish orthography). What should we do? Are there any references or sources mentioning if whether or not the Spanish orthography has to be followed in this case? Kintaro (talk) 20:22, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
