Plot

edit

>>Pfc. Stuckey (Smith) who had fired blanks at the Cajuns causing the whole crisis, runs for the helicopter but is caught in quicksand and presumably drowns.

Man! He does drown, there's no presumably about it. Gomez2002 (talk) 13:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Legacy

edit

According to the Aliens making of documentary this film (directed by Aliens producer Walter Hill) was a big influence on the Aliens storyline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.234.211 (talk) 05:51, 26 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Indeed. I saw that in the bonus footage for Aliens too. The question is, is this info important enough to be mentioned in this article? I mean, many films are inspirations for many later films. Do we mention in the article for Hitchcock's Psycho all the movies that this film influenced? There would be too many I believe, but especially, that "science" (of this influenced that) is probably not well documented and can easily turn into speculation.--Munin75 (talk) 00:28, 6 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Soundtrack

edit

According to the closing credits the soundtrack "is available.... etc...". However, I believe it was never released and only a few tracks eventually became available on a Ry Cooder compilation album. Does anyone know why it was not released when, apparently, it was clearly intended to be? Stephenjh (talk) 18:09, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Can someone explain to me why there is a reference to American-Iran Relation from this article, I feel like I am missing something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonasbn (talkcontribs) 15:04, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Blooper I don't feel sufficiently informed about to correct

edit

"The film was shortened to 135 minutes ..."

Given that its stated running time is 105 minutes, how could that be a shortening? Perhaps the editor in question meant 1 hour and 35 minutes? Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Iranian Version

edit

I am not disputing the possibility of a government sponsored edit, but a single cite to a video sharing site is a less than useful source. Either some English or Persian news sources on this would be better. Jmackaerospace (talk) 23:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
