[edit] request to add an external link

I run a website where we write synopses and spoilers for movies, and I'd really like to link to our Man On Fire synopsis. I'm not trying to spam; I'm only making this request for about 8 movies in total - ones where Wikipedia doesn't have much plot info and we have a detailed synopsis. I think this would be useful and informative to anyone looking for a bit more detail on what happens in the movie. And this wouldn't break any Wikipedia rules concerning external links...but posting the link myself WOULD break the rules. I can only ask that folks here take a look and if anyone thinks it would be useful to others, to please post the link. Here's the synopsis: http://www.moviecheat.com/ShowDetails.php?mid=144 Rasi2290

[edit] Anal Bomb

The article mentions an anal bomb. Although I haven't seen the movie, that doesn't seem quite right.

[edit] Oh, it exists

Just picked up the movie today from HMV for £2.99 (Tragic price for a great piece of cinema). On the region 2 DVD (and presumably the rest of the world) there are a lot of deleted scenes, available with directors commentry. I watched through about 35 minutes of them, with the commentary, and the director clearly says the bomb is in his anus and it's triggered in the same fashion as the bomb that he plants on the guy under the roadway.

I think really the anal bomb is little bit out of character. I can't really see how he couldnt have just swalloed it instead :)

Yup, the anal bomb really does exist; I'd have to watch it again to pick up what he used (I believe it was C3 or C4) but its definetly in there... --Sidewinded 07:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Discuss the proposed name change here.

• Support. Per WP:Name, "When disambiguating a film from something else use "(film)" in the title when only one film had that name and (YEAR film) in the title when there are two or more films by that name (example: Titanic (1997 film)". AFter the name change, the Man on Fire page could be made a disambig page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Esprit15d (talk • contribs).
