[edit] Unclear

The pronouns in the following paragraph make it difficult to understand what's happening (specifically, who said what and who died):

Along the way, Benjamin runs across a technician who is trying to escape the resort, and informs him that Gunslinger can react faster and think faster than he can, and that "you haven't got a chance." The Gunslinger kills the technician from a distance with a high-powered rifle as he is talking to Benjamin, who confidently states "Oh yes I do."

It sounds like Benjamin is warning the technician, saying to the technician, 'you haven't got a chance.' However, then it sounds like Benjamin is answering a comment from the (dying) technician, with the line, 'oh yes I do,' which sounds like it is in response to the technician saying, 'you haven't got a chance'.--Anchoress 07:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it. Much clearer.--Anchoress 23:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

There is a paragraph "The other guest (Brolin) shows him (by having him try to shoot him) that the guns cannot fire at anything warm, only "something cold, like a machine." Unfortunately, this is contradicted by an earlier scene in which a human accidently shoots and breaks a mirror." I fail to see a contradiction here - surely a mirror is just as cold as a machine is?

[edit] Influences on pop culture

Could this be included in the article? Brynner's appearance in Westworld is noted in former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus' song "Jo Jo's Jacket." The song appears on Malkmus' first solo album, Stephen Malkmus (album).

^ Agree with the above. Also, the "...Where nothing can possibly go wrong.. go wrong.. go wrong" quote surely inspired the Simpson's episode with the nearly identical quote and situation.

[edit] Westworld remake

A remake of Westworld has been in planning for a number of years. Originally, (back in 2003) Arnold Schwarzenegger was to have produced and acted in it, though that's likely no longer true (him being governor and all). Director Tarsem Singh is said to have been chosen to do the film as of January 2006. Perhaps this info should be added to this article. --69.210.125.174 00:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any sources for this information?--SB | T 02:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Just did a search on google. http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/ap/20050813/112395120008.html --Lendorien 00:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] other simpsons reference

apparently the simpsons episode involving skinner chasing bart when bart ends up at the mayors party features a parody of the film in the chase right down to the music- i dont know the name of the episode but will post the youtube address for the clip- another comment has been made concerinng this and i think itd make sense considering there are two references already there
