Talk:Midnight Run for Your Life
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omitted additional information appended to the "Storyline" section: this should be a summary and should not 1) go into detail unnecessary to an understanding of the plot or 2) assume the reader has any prior knowledge of/has seen the other "Midnight Run" movies.
This being the case, I omitted the explanation of why Walsh took the job (he's a bounty hunter, the job is therefore in his line of work, and that his apartment was being repainted and his phone disconnected are not pertinent to a reader's understanding of the storyline).
Further, I omitted two references to "Martin", a character from the one or more of the previous films who was (it seems?) Walsh's nemesis--please don't add this back with an explanation of who Martin is... again, it's not relevant to a reader's understanding of the plot summary.
I know there are some fans of the films editing this piece and I appreciate and understand the enthusiasm that prompts one to add more and more detail--but let's try to keep this encyclopedic and factual as possible, as befits a Wikipedia article..

Is the phrase "he was pissed" encyclopedic? Why do I have the feeling that this summary was copied and pasted from someone's blog? Just my thoughts. Lulzatron 07:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Reverted edits made by Ksabato. The comma needs to remain (Just as one might say "Bob, the plumber, fixed the sink", the phrase should read "ex-Chicago -cop turned-bounty-hunter, Jack Walsh..."). Additionally, the link change by Ksabato pointed to nothing "(originally Robert DeNiro)" does not point to the article about Robert DeNiro. "(originally Robert DeNiro)" would, but the phrasing allows ambiguity about whether the role of Jack Walsh in Midnight Run for Your Life was originally meant to be played by DeNiro and then subsequently assumed by McDonald (not the case).
