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.

Shouldn't the quotes section be deleted? There is a reference to this film's space in Wikiquotes at the bottom of the page.

This is like the best movie EVER

I dont know why this article refers to VX as VX-2, I never saw it mentioned in the movie at all.

Maybe the -2 indicated its a Binary chemical weapon, but this wouldn't be true either way since both times when a pearl is dropped the effects of the gas are present (this wouldn't happen in a binary system). I tend to doubt this though as the movie indicates the writers have knowdledge of binary weapons during the defusing scene in the gas chamber when Goodspeed mentions that the "poisons mixing", which is common in sarin gas.

On that note I am going to edit this page and remove the fictional part.

If you look in the first part of where they attack the weapons deopt, there's a large yellow 2 on one of the outside walls, so the VX-2 probably means that the room is the number 2 storage room for VX, or something similar.12.182.100.224 23:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea of why a huge share of this article was deleted and replaced by a "Please complete this article" message. The only thing I can think of is vandalism, but maybe there was a reason. Either ways, I replaced that message for a stub message. If anyone has an explanation for this all, I'd like to see it on this talk page. Thanks.

[edit] the movie was a masterpiece

the movie was the best ever written it is portrayed rather nicely i would prfered the scene when nicholas cage burns the flares.

Yeah, this movie is really great, I love it! :D

Yeah I enjoyed it thoroughly but I had a hard time swallowing the notion that Force Recon Marines could subdue a team of SEALS. No disrespect to Force Recon of course.

[edit] Trivia mistake

"Alcatraz closed on March 21, 1963. John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963. Therefore it is impossible that one of the secrets stolen by Connery was the identity of John F. Kennedy's assassin."

I don't think this piece of trivia makes any sense. It is clearly possible that in the story a document containing the plot to kill JFK was created before it actually happened. Therefore when Cage's character looks at the microfilm he could very well have found out who killed JFK. --Jayson Virissimo 19:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Bold textDoes anyone know what the name of the theme song to this is? It's really good but I can't find it anywhere.

[edit] Another Word on the Trivia

"Sean Connery's characters full name is John Patrick Mason. The name is an anagram of sorts. By taking the letter "O" from John and Mason you get OO then the name Patrick is 7 letters. The theory is that Mason is the original James Bond. This would explain Bond's change in apperance from Sean Connery to Roger Moore."

This is stupid. Let me present this 'evidence'. Mason is really Douglas Fairbanks because both names are 16 characters long. Jerry Bruckheimer is 16 characters long too. Please. Also, if you remove the letter "O" from John and Mason you get Jhn Masn. It's a stretch and unless you have a source, it doesn't cut it.

Boy, you sure know it all don't you.
