[edit] Ray's home

Ray is from Manchester. In the begining of the story he lives there, and only goes to london after he was kidnapped. --ZeWrestler 22:29 March 25, 2005.(UTC)

[edit] Future of Steamboy

This article, describing the slideshow at the end, was created by an editor with unfortunately more enthusiasm than sense. Should it be merged? Deleted? If the content is to remain in use it needs to be fixed up, which I can't do as I don't own the movie, so I'll leave the decision to someone who does. --Kizor 06:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I just merged it.--KrossTalk 21:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Thx. --Kizor 10:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Reformatted and mostly rewritten. --MacSpon 11:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

The character in front of the plane with the men is not Ray, it is Scarlett. If you look closely, her dog, Colombus is by her side. The closeup which follows then makes more sense. Also, the featurette that purports to show the ending sequence without credits shows marked inconsistencies from the original. All of the scenes involving the mysterious light have been removed, as well as those of Ray battling the monster in Paris (save perhaps of the cell of him running away from something). --walkeraj

How can we really tell that is Scarlett? What would she be doing flying planes, and for that matter, would she still look as young as she does, years later? And why would she dye her hair red? I was under the impression that this character was either the daughter of Scarlett or Ray (or both), considering these questions that have yet to be answered. Please cite the source of your information. --TwilightxPrince 02:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK DVD release date wrong

[edit] Afd, July 2004

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below from July 1, 2004 to July 4, 2004. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made here or in a deletion review. No further edits should be made to this debate.

The result of the debate was to delete copyvio version and replace with temp version once copyvio period is over. Discussion:

  • Casting and teaser info for a movie that was released in Japan two weeks ago. SWAdair | Talk 08:36, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  •  ?? Keep! Looks like a pretty major movie to me, $20m budget, director of Akira, etc. Needs a hell of a cleanup, obviously. —Stormie 09:47, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: advert, WP != IMDB. In a few years, if someone remembers what this movie was about, it can have an article. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:14, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, Cleanup. This should have an article - David Gerard 16:12, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • It's a copyvio. That opening sentence in the synopsis is all over the net. See [1]. - Lucky 6.9 16:42, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete the original article, replace it with the temp page, and keep. -Sean Curtin 02:53, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep Rather than delete, just clean it up, and make it better. If deletions come as part of that, delete. But by all means, don't kill the whole article. HereToHelp 19:37, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I am going to see this movie next week. While I am looking forward to it immensely, I fail to see why it should get its own page on Wikipedia. This is NOT a movie database! It should be listed on Otomo's page as one of his works, and no more. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by N^O^el (talk • contribs) 19:52, July 19, 2004.
  • Keep Because of Akira's status, many people are curious about this new movie. That fact, coupled with the budget and caliber of the American cast, should warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. Someone who has seen the film should add a few details, including specifying that Steamboy is not a sequel to Akira.
    also, there are many details that an imdb will miss, such as how these characters relate to other otomo characters. how his screenwriting skills have improved (or deteriorated), etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.218.67.134 (talk • contribs) 21:16, March 20, 2005.

[edit] Nods vs. references

is there really any difference between the "nods" and the "references"? They could be under one heading. Spyderchan 02:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scarlett O'Hara

Somewhere, the obvious Gone with the Wind reference needs to be mentioned. 129.7.254.33 21:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
