Frame produced as link to article advertising article

edit

The frame produced for this article references Ray Croc instead of Ray Kroc. I cannot find that anywhere else but I am not sure how to fix it, or propose a fix, as I am not sure where the frame is created or how the information gets produced to the frame. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Playmkr278 (talkcontribs) 07:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is far too long. Anyone care to pare it back? I've not seen the film, so I can't do it.122.107.170.39 (talk) 07:12, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply


"Kroc, despite his old age," He was 52. Hardly "old age". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.56.148.253 (talk) 20:37, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

McDonald's Involvement

edit

What, if any, is McDonald's involvement in the film? I can't imagine that it was done without their co-operation, so to what degree is this McDonald's propaganda? Is it completely independent? I have been curious about this question but this article doesn't answer that and I think it's important, given that the film looks - at a basic level - to be a feature length ad for McDonald's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.152.141.122 (talk) 10:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

McDonald's apparently asked that all representations of the restaurant be accurate, which was followed meticulously by the director. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.174.0.21 (talk) 03:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not really, considering how it portrays the company's founder... but of course it could still increase sales, and Ikea sponsored Fight Club, so who knows.2001:14BA:27F6:AC00:3110:85F0:1D0:6453 (talk) 11:27, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Plus the film claims that they made an oral agreement to give the brothers 1% of all royalties forever and is currently in violation of it. Which if it went to court would be billions in damages — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.107.5.117 (talk) 08:00, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
