Removed "One of the more criminally underrated films in the world." I happen to agree, but assertions like this at least need to have a justification in order to be NPOV. arj 13:44, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Martian Origins?

I think anyone who saw the movie agrees with the deep 60-ish feel everything has -- including the Giant in its Attack mode. Maybe it's just the POV of a tonza brazilian guys, but everyone here agrees the Giant is surely martian.

What we present as proof is its visuals and 'energy guns', commonly associated to them in Atomic Horror movies of the time. The firing pods at the end of its 'tentacles' coming from his back are just screaming that. I think it worths a mention, even if only in this talk page.

[edit] Hogarth and Dash

I noticed that Hogarth and Dash from The Incredibles look very simmilar. This is probably because both movies were directed by Brad Bird. Should this be mentioned in the article?

There's a character named Hogarth in The Incredibles? Did I just over look that character or what? Not being sarcastic if I come off that way, just asking.

No, Hogarth looks like Dash. There's no Hogarth in The Incredibles. Aaronstj 04:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that Dash resembles Hogarth at all! I'm removing that sentence unless a reliable source comparing the two can be found. Voretus 18:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great Movie

Man, This was an awesome movie. They really should make a sequel. Fatandlazy11 22:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Am I the only one who noticed that there was A LOT of cursing in this movie? --Jnelson09 02:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there was much swearing. Voretus 18:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vin Diesel's Voice Work

Does anyone know if/what kind of audio effects were applied to Vin Diesel's lines? I always wondered if he provided the metallic tones or if that was audio engineering. 128.113.148.163 17:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

It was definitely enhanced, but I don't remember how, or where I encountered that fact. I'll check my DVDs next time I watch the film. --JohnRDaily 21:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
