October 4 Information

Rapper Bow Wow

Bow Wow is 25 years old, it shows him to be 24 on his wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.127.176 ( talk) 05:02, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply

His age has been automatically calculated from the birth-date of March 9, 1987 which comes from the article's references. Can you find a a reliable source that has a different date?-- Shirt58 ( talk) 07:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Old sci-fi film - alien on Earth pursued by two others

Resolved

Might be a long shot, but...I remember a film, probably black and white, about a human-looking alien on Earth being pursued by two other aliens, who may have been travelling by motorbike. I seem to remember they had some sort of glowing 'homing' device that they used to track him. Not an altogether unique plot but any ideas what it might be? Thanks.-- Michig ( talk) 20:20, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply

No motorbike that I can recall, but two dudes chase Michael Rennie on foot in Cyborg 2087. Clarityfiend ( talk) 20:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the suggestion. Watching it now on Youtube - might be it but not quite what I remember.-- Michig ( talk) 21:06, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
30 minutes in and I think this must be it. Thanks. -- Michig ( talk) 21:26, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Hah! A misspent youth hasn't gone totally to waste. Clarityfiend ( talk) 01:21, 5 October 2011 (UTC) reply
