Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Origin of names

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was released in 1998, while The Nightmare Before Christmas premiered in 1993. It is unlikely that the names are based on the film, unless the film was based in a novel. I have not found yet any clue that this novel exists, so probably this section should be erased (and probably added to the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels article). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.43.237.98 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Oogie's "Boys"

When Jack calls for the three, he calls them "Oogie's Boys". If one of them is really a girl, why would they say "Boys"? Unless I've heard wrong for the last 13 years. PureSoldier 12:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

It's most likely because two of the three are boys, I guess. And no, you heard correctly. --Releeshan 21:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
