Given the two plot summaries, does it even make sense to say that the 1992 film was "loosely based" on the King story? As far as I can tell, all they share is a title - no elements of the plot of the story seem to appear in the movie. john k 18:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I've often seen this film included on lists of landmark movies in the development of CG. But there's no mention of that on the page. Would be interesting to see a more detailed description of the effects that went into the film. Would have to be written by somebody who knows more than me, though. -- Lurlock 18:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Having all the World's 'phones ringing to signify a birth/emergence was used in an early Arthur C. Clarke story but I can't remember which. Can anybody fill that in? MarkMLl 13:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Lawnmower Man A.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wasn't there a crappy super nintendo game based on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.60.117 ( talk) 03:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone explain what on earth this sentence means:
"...the CGi going on to establish a perception of VR, in many individuals mind, towards the reality of the technology, even though not filmed in real-time."
Can someone who knows what this is on about rewrite is to make sense, or maybe remove it, since there's no source. 194.66.67.65 ( talk) 16:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Can someone explain to me how The Lawnmower Man racked up around $30 mill at the US / Can box office but then managed to pull in $112 mill in other markets. That ratio is kind of like a 0.400 batting average -- impossible. I won't say that this fact is a lie... but... it's a lie. 2603:7000:7F00:3D96:99D4:B7AC:3B2E:4C37 ( talk) 00:58, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
This section currently lists three other films and a short story, with no indication as to why. I pride myself in not not being a total culture doofus, but I don't get it. Perhaps some explanation would be in order? Doceddi ( talk) 19:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
This article should note how the “Cobson” meme originated from a traced frame of Jobe Smith. It is quite a popular phenomenon, and thus deserves mention 2600:1008:B033:B1D0:1C9C:7739:AFFF:7C56 ( talk) 03:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
