Talk:Strip Search (film)

How important is Nelson Lee's Character?

On his page is mentions that he is in the film as a character named Xiu-Juan Chang. The movie doesn't mention this charcter so I was wondering how important he was and if Nelson Lee should be mentioned in this? Kairos (talk) 12:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

First (and only) reference appears sketchy

Clicking through the "tendance-lifestyle" link brings one to a page that appears inappropriate and/or spammy. If no one objects, I'm going to change it to a link to a directly relevant article about the film being presented at Monaco Film Premiere. Microwiz (talk) 19:52, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

That quote (or some version of it) is actually Benjamin Franklin...--65.212.104.138 (talk) 03:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

possible factual error(s)

I don't understand your procedures or how this works. All I know is what I personally remember.

I am referring to the article about the HBO movie film "Strip Search". I think it contains two factual errors.

First, the article alleges that the movie played on a certain date at a specific "prime" time. My best recollection is that a TV Guide listing caused me to view HBO 1 at the publicized premier date and time, but that HBO cancelled that premier airing and that the film never premiered that evening when it was first scheduled to appear. Days later, after repeated HBO searches, I got to see a shortened version of the film on HBO (and record it on tape) three times around midnight. But to my knowledge, the original movie never played on HBO 1 at its publicized premier date/time.

The second factual error regards the film's running time. While it is possible that some various original versions may in fact exist with several more story lines, the three HBO airings which I saw and recorded in the middle of the night only ran about 56 minutes, and only contained the two parallel story lines and truncated casts mentioned.

Finally, the article makes no mention of the HBO editing/airing controversy.

I think the article's author needs to justify the assertions that any 120 minute "Strip Search" film ever played on the premier date/time mentioned. I didn't see it, and I was looking for it, recorder running.

I am clicking on the SAVE PAGE button below, whatever that means.

I second this. I can speak to the run time - the dvd copy i obtained from amazon only has a runtime of 56 minutes. i find it hard to imagine that a version of the film was trimmed down so far as to be 50% of its orginal length (though it's certainly possible). i have listed the amazon page showing the runtime of the film as a source.
