[edit] Boa vs. Python

Shouldn't this article be entitled: "Boa vs. Python" with an emphasis on the period? (since it is called that upon its corresponding imdb page and what-not) DrWho42 03:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note to GA reviewers

I realize I am probably jumping the gun with this nominee, but I feel its a great way to get proper feedback. TruthCrusader 08:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for Boa vs. Python has failed, for the following reason:

There is only limited content besides the plot summary and that content is not well organized. The Good Article criteria does not include the featured article criterion "t exemplifies our very best work" so there is not much I can say beyond that. Still, a very, very marginal topic (not that there's anything wrong with that) to nominate for GA.Pascal.Tesson 22:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Extra note this article was nominated for GA status. Please see this edit.

Oh, it was my carelessness really... I misread the tag and thought it meant that it used to be a Good article but not anymore. Sorry for my confusion. DrWho42 23:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Holes section

There are quite a few things I would change or delete in the plot holes section, but as I watched this on DVD, perhaps the television version is different?

3. Its is never explained how a Boeing 747 is able to fly with a swimming pool and a full marble interior.

Rich people do some crazy things with planes, so I have a feeling a 747 with the lavish interior shown is completly probably. Also, there is no swimming pool. A large bath tub, sure. But I saw no pool.

5. How did Betty manage to grow so big in captivity and why has her existence been kept secret??

If Betty's existence is known to Agent Sharpe, who has no affiliation with the research, she can't be that secret.

7. How did the giant python learn oral sex?

Perhaps this should be reworded, but I doubt you can say the python "knew" anything. To be crude, it just has a really large tongue that probably is quite mobile.

9. Broddick's hunters are, in his words, men of extreme wealth and influence. Yet when they arrive for the hunt, one drives a late model Chevrolet truck, one a 1970s Porsche, one walks, and the other two share a ride in a 1991 Volvo wagon.

Rich people are eccentric. They can drive anything they like.

10. On Broddick's team is the world's deadliest sniper (according to Broddick). The man claims he only carries one bullet because its all he needs. Yet when he accidentally kills Agent Sharpe, he shoots him 4 times.

I both saw and heard only one shot. Perhaps it was repeated in editing for effect, but it was only one very explosive shot.

11. Pythons and Boas cannot interbreed. This is ignored in the film. 12. Boas cannot be impregnated and lay eggs within 20 minutes. This is also ignored in the film.

These are both clearly addressed in the film I watched. They specifically say that it's impossible for Betty to have gestated and produced those eggs in that amount of time (which is "less than an hour" not 20 minutes) and that she must have been pregnant well before the plot of the movie began. Hewlitt's character does say that he'd been trying to breed her for ages and it hadn't been taking.

I also found some things in the plot summary that didn't match up. Is it possible there are such severe version differences? Meiran 00:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You are correct on many of these, they read like bad attempts at humor. I'm going to take them out. The TV version is almost identical except for some nudity and language.

TruthCrusader, stop reverting inaccurate information back into the article. It is wrong, and it's obvious you are protecting your lame jokes. Knock if off.

The information is valid 'Chad' stop using sockpuppets to Wikistalk me. TruthCrusader 12:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
