[edit] what the fuck? when does this movie take place?

im trying to watch the movie in the correct time slot with my father (we are going through the series episode by episode), and this article USED to tell which episodes it took place between. why the HELL would anyone remove that? i cant find it in the history..

The movie takes place between episodes 22 and 23. No need for profanity, a simple google search would answer your question. 74.160.32.17 02:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What the heck happened to this page. It was perfectly fine about a year ago and I check up on it now and it's been stripped of a ton of information. How did so much information get lost? There was a plot summary and everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.63.142 (talk) 10:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image sources

Why were the character images removed? OrphanBot's reason was no source for the images, but they are clearly from the movie. I think they should be restored, because they really enhance the character section.

[edit] Where does the film take place?

I feel we should mention the location but I can't remember what it was, from the last time I saw it. Some Arab country, right?203.10.77.190

The film takes place on Mars in 2071. The Arab area shown in the film is simply an ethnic enclave within a larger city.

[edit] Faye an antagonist?

"Faye Valentine: One of the antagonists of the movie." I wouldn't really consider Faye Valentine to be an antagonist in this movie, really. She actually only plays an antagonistic role in a few episodes of the actual TV show, when she is still a bounty head (Namely the 3rd and 4th episodes). After those episodes, she joins the others as a cowboy, and in the movie itself, she is helping, rather than hindering, the protagonists (Spike and Jet). Does anyone else agree with me that this should be changed? The Phantom Trogdor

Yep. —This unsigned comment was added by 207.69.139.6 (talk • contribs) .

of course, faye is the heroine. Chutup 10:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How do I add these ratings?

I want to add the following ratings to the box at the bottom:

Alberta = 14A British Columbia = 14A Manitoba = PA Nova Scotia = 14 Ontario = AA Quebec = 13+

Does anyone know how to do it? —This unsigned comment was added by 131.202.140.176 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Logo

I didn't see the AdultSwim airing of the movie, but I heard the opening logo read "Cowboy BeBop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door" as opposed to "Cowboy BeBop: The Movie." The information here seems to back this up, saying that it was the Japanese syndication as opposed to letterbox and the credits were in English. Can anyone backup the claim that the Japanese logo was used? —This unsigned comment was added by 168.11.200.2 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Spike's father

What's all this about Spike's father? I don't remember that... —This unsigned comment was added by 207.200.116.139 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] page needed rearranging

a lot of it.--Dangerous-Boy 00:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] page needs Critical reception section

really think its needed —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.226.12.4 (talk • contribs) .

A what? -- Ned Scott 06:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Beats me.--Dangerous-Boy 08:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I think who-ever-it-is is talking about how well the movie was received. --Miss Ethereal 14:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English text

I notice that a lot of the text in the movie (US version) is in English. Was this translated, or is that how it appeared in the original Japanese version? 14:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Plot??

I came here looking for the movie's plot, but alas, there is none. There's lots of info on each character, and because of that there's a spoiler warning, but really, there should be an actual PLOT to put that warning for, not pieces of the plot given by the character descriptions! I'd be thankful if someone put a complete plot summary here, thanks in advance! --Kreachure 20:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Now one thing I'd like to know, and I guess it's part of the plot too, in what time relative to the series does this take place? Is it after or during? Since well, without spoiling, the series ended with a kind of a bang so I'm a bit confused as to when does the movie happen, since for example, Ed & Ein are supposed to be somewhere on Earth.

Apparently, it takes place between episodes 22-23. --Petrim 20:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. To be more specific, the movie takes place between episodes 22 and 23 on Mars during Halloween 2071.

[edit] Jennifer Hale trivia.. what the hell?

It says the only anime dub she has done is this.. what utter crap! On her own page it names hundred of anime she has dubbed for! So, I am removing that moronic trivia about her. -Sion Black

Um, the only dubbing she's done is in video games and Totally Spies, not Japanese anime. I'm putting the trivia part back Zidane4028 15:43, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I think that information would be better off on the Jennifer Hale page, though, wouldn't it? -Chutup 10:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] V for Vincent?

Does anyone else think/know that Vincent might have been inspired by Alan Moore's 'V for Vendetta'? Vincent and V have similar appearances (hair, beard, long black coat and wide-brimmed hat), they have similar methods (dramatically orchestrated public bombings), they have similar backgrounds (test subject for the military) and they have several key scenes in common - stabbing people with their fingers alone, exploding train cars, to name a couple.

Wow, someone else operating on my wavelength: Yeah, I was just about to propose the same thing. I noticed a day or two ago. I figure it should go as a note in the Trivia section. Juno Loire 23:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I strongly doubt this, since 'V for Vendetta' has not been translated into Japanese. Personally, I feel that Vincent is a stereotype of "dark character" and similarities with V are coincidental.--Revth 02:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

That's speculation, which is not allowed on wikipedia. But, between us, no, I don't think Vincent is anything like V. For a start, Vincent is motivated by a mad, nonsensical desire to destroy all humans, whereas V wants to bring about a revolution. -Chutup 10:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Super Viruses

Does anyone else think we should put in the trivia section that this is the second time that the heroes of Cowboy Bebop prevented a super virus from wiping out the population of an entire planet (the first time was in ep. 4, Gateway Shuffle)? -Chutup 10:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not old enough to buy/rent

It is rumored that I'm old enough to buy this film in Canada, Japan, South Korea and Mexico, but what can I do as the film is rated R in this country? Jonghyunchung 22:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] want to get a hold of a couple songs

During Spike's fight with Vincent, on the tower linking heaven and earth, there is a song in the background playing, I believe one of the lyrics is "Don't wanna be the one to pop your cherry girl."

The other song plays when Vincent walks along the bridge and during the parade. I don't think that song has any lyrics.

I would just like to know the names of these songs, and where i can buy / download them.
