[edit] Discussion

I've moved this page per the discussion. —Cleared as filed. 02:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Greed Is Good redirects here

The article's AFD debate reached consensus that the article should redirect here. Johnleemk | Talk 02:49, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This article is a a bit of mess and I think it should be marked for clean-up to bring it up to the standards of other film entries. Separating the two movies should be a priority as well. - Fearfulsymmetry 04:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OR/lack of sources

The article has no sources to back any of the opinions and interpretations, and the commentary is entirely original research, especially the part about Bud Fox and the SEC. Malakaville 05:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title of nobility

Removed this

The rival of Gordon Gekko in the film is Sir Larry Wildman played by Terence Stamp. In the beginning of the film, Gekko tells Bud that Larry has recently received his U.S. citizenship. However, as his name implies, Sir Larry has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. One of the requirements of becoming an American citizen is to renounce all noble titles (see 8 USC 1448).^[1] Thus, it seems unlikely that Larry would have given up his knighthood in order to become an American citizen.

It is not inconceivable, however, that Sir Larry officially renounced the title but continues to use the phonetic anomaly "Sir" in front of his name, rationalising it (if rationalisation is necessary) as an American first name in the manner of "Duke" or "Earl".

8 USC 1448 requires a naturalized citizen to renounced hereditary titles or titles of nobility. However a knighthood is neither one of the two. A knighthood is generally not hereditary nor does it confer make one a noble (i.e. a knight can still be elected to the House of Commons).
