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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

[edit] Russian in Film

Can anyone translate the Russian that Dabney Coleman speaks at the start of the film? It is a short conversation where he tries to bluff his way past a Russian guard and then kills him with a cigarette dart. I've wondered what they were saying for over twenty years. Thanks! -Husnock 27 Dec 04

[edit] Populartiy

How much money did this movie make? How'd the critics respond? Was the DvD release successful or a flop? There should be a section on these types of questions. --208.127.64.127 17:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Role-Playing Game Tie in

I recently had the pleasure of rewatching this movie, which brought back a lot of good memories. One of them was the old TSR roleplaying game: "Cloak & Dagger" and the subsequent Endless Quest books under the same title. I'd think this might be a coincidence, but between the opening scene resembling a role-playing game instead of a normal table top game, and all of the Dungeons and Dragons Material floating around in the background shots of the game store (There's a whole rack with little besides Player's Handbooks, and when the father takes away the son's games, you can clearly see The 1984 copy of the Marvel Roleplaying Game produced by TSR among other random cameos) this can't be a coincidence. TSR was making a large push during this time to bring roleplaying games into the average American household, and though I personally can't prove they had a hand in shaping this movie, I'd think a little research would bring up some rather interesting results. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.130.128 (talk) 01:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
