Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Move

I have moved this from its original place at Broken - The Movie to here because of Wikipedia naming conventions. Any objections can be raised at my talk page. Thanks, [[User:Consequencefree|Ardent^†_∈]] 01:56, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The Broken movie was never investigated by the FBI, that was Down In It. Whether or not that was the impetus for this, or the reason why it sits in a can is simply speculation. Also, this article should really include something about the best version of this in circulation to be a 3rd or 4th generation copy at best. The thing looks like crap, which only helps add to the whole snuff feel. --Outofkeyslightly 10:50, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

The article needs more sources, particular regard the "dropouts" which is frequently mentioned on the internet without references

[edit] Images

Revolutionary here, I was just wondering if it's a good idea to put screenshots from all videos? Even if they are particularly disturbing?

[edit] Trivia section removal

The sole piece of trivia, "The movie was filmed in black-and-white, except for the "Gave Up" video (which was in color)," mistakenly protrays the "Gave Up" video from Closure as being part of the Broken movie. This was incorrect and in contradiction with the rest of the article. Since there was no factually-accurate trivia, I deleted the entire section. -- Rynne 16:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message on the talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material violating someone's copyright. If you are not sure whether the link on this article should be removed or if you would like to help spread this message, contact us on User talk:J.smith/YouTube Linklist.

[edit] Robert Patrick

Give me any non-imdb source that Robert Patrick is the cop? I've seen many arguments that it's actually Richard, and no proof anywhere that it's Robert, apart from speculation because he's dressed as a cop before. Year 0 22:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• I'd like to see a better source for this, too. I've never seen any primary-source document which identifies who plays the cop. - rynne 16:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

That's not Robert Patrick as the cop. I showed the movie to a friend who is a huge Robert Patrick fan and she said "No way" when I showed her (and she was hoping it was him.) She said (and I agree) the facial features are too different, especially the nose. So this is just a rumour, not fact, and should be removed from the article or reworded so it is not taken as fact. If no-one does, eventually I will.
