[edit] Soundtrack

Anyone know about the soundtrack?? This movie had some great examples of French Hiphop, the music really set the mood.Thelastemperor 02:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bizarre re-editing???

In the history pages, the synopsis of District B13 has gone from saying "The film is notable for its depiction of parkour in a number of outrageous stunt sequences that were completed without the use of wires" to "The film is notable for its depiction of parkour in a number of shockingly bad stunt sequences that were completed without the use of wires". Why shockingly bad? Or more pertinently, the edit page has no modifier -- shockingly bad or outrageous -- yet the former shows up on the page. Though both are editorializing, "outrageous" seems warranted, or at least defensible, while "shockingly bad" seems to have added by a troll or a non-fan. Certainly, it has been good enough to influence many other films (notably, the use of free-running in the recent Casino Royale).

[edit] Plot Length?

Is it really condusive and necessary for the plot section to be as long as it is? It doesn't really add to the article and it seems over the top. Lycand 22:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed - it's not very well-written either. I was contemplating making minor sylistic alterations, but after reading the entire plot, I realized it needed a lot more help than minor style edits. Anyone game for rewriting the plot? The freddinator 01:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related to Assault on Precinct 13?

Does anyone know if this was to some extent inspired by Assault on Precinct 13? Reading the plot description of that movie, it seems that District B13 is different enough that it can't be called a remake, but there are certainly similarities between the two. I wasn't able to find anything to support it in a quick Google search, but I'm hoping that someone else knows of some evidence for that. Chuck 19:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ending

"Schools and authority start reappearing in District 13 as the wall comes down and hopes for a brighter future unfold." I'll change that sentence since these events are not shown in the movie. Maybe hopes are unfolding, but that's interpretation. One can't see the wall come down, neither school reappearing and the only authority shown after the Krüger-sequence is the police at the entrance, which was there before. --Ruben 21:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
