Creation and initial issues edit
This page was created in an effort to improve the The Most Dangerous Game page. I followed the example I found at the pages for A Christmas Carol and Adaptions of A Christmas Carol to see how an adaptions list should be constructed (and, possibly more importantly, for confirmation that a list of adaptations does not belong as a subheading in the page for the original work.
Some of the citations were scrambled when I moved the information over from the original page. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and am not so great with citations, so while I'm going to read up on them later and learn how to do them properly if anyone is passionate about formatting citations and wants to swoop in for me please feel free. Reference material can be found on a talk page I created of the original list. Though the page has been edited slightly (in preparation for the creation of this page), all the citations were untouched.
Thanks and happy editing, Ms.Ipsum (talk) 22:45, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Suggested Additions edit
Suggest adding "The Target," Episode 2, Season 1 of "Dollhouse." The episode originally aired 20 Feb 09. IMdb entry is here:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216523/?ref_=ttep_ep3
In this episode, the client is assumed to have hired Echo simply as a skilled outdoorswoman to accompany him on an overnight wilderness adventure date--including physical intimacy. In the morning, the client surprises Echo with his real aim, which is to hunt her.
As a nod to the original story, the client does business with the Dollhouse using the alias "Richard Connell."Apruzan (talk) 22:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
In the G1 Transformers episode "Prime Target," a big-game hunter named Lord Chumley hunted Optimus Prime, using other Autobots that he had captured as bait. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.55.225.255 (talk) 23:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Verification and original research issues edit
Many of the entries in this article have no references whatsoever. Some have references (such as IMDB) that do not meet WP:RS. These can't remain, they fail WP:V.
In addition, many of the entries, especially many of the unreferenced ones under "Television", seem to be individual editor's observations, opinions and conclusions that the listed entry resembles the plot of The Most Dangerous Game. That's not enough to include them; that is original research. I don't have a problem with including entries where a reliable independent WP:RS has noted the resemblance; but our own conclusions on that are not sufficient for inclusion.

The Naked Prey edit
This film made in 1965 almost certainly owes its origins to the Most Dangerous Game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.214.146.141 (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
