KEEP SPOILERS UNDER A SPOILER WARNING. In the five years since this article's creation, and through dozens of edits, it has displayed a MAJOR reveal in the first sentence of the initial short description, potentially spoiling the film for thousands upon thousands of people -- including myself!
Speaking in the name of everyone whose naïveté and/or apparently over-optimistic expectations of Wikipedia's "dedicated" "editors" (and especially those of the WikiProject Films project) ruined this beautiful film, I say: Thanks a lot, assholes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.197.11.30 ( talk • contribs) 12:53, 8 January 2007.
I listen to the DVD commentary and the person stated he had a paralyzed arm.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.112.121.29 ( talk • contribs) 20:22, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
The article currently says this was adapted from the short story "Bad Day at Hondo" by Howard Breslin and gives IMDb as a source. I only see that as a working title there, while other sources [1] [2] give the short story title as "Bad Time at Honda". Can anyone confirm one way or the other?-- Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Notice that in the final shootout, one headlight of the Jeep smokes for several seconds as the lens is shot out but leaving the burning filament intact. AMCKen ( talk) 17:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Under Critical response, is it statistically significant that 25 reviews are 96% positive? I say that final paragraph should be removed until a larger sampling of public opinion is available. BrianWilloughby ( talk) 02:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia entries are not scholarly papers. Besides, there are plenty of published papers in reputable journals that used smaller samples than 25. The percent positive may change with a bigger sample size, but there's no need to remove it just because it doesn't meet peer-review specs. After all, few peers meet peer-review specs.
