[edit] Additions

I would like a few things to be added to this page, such as:

• Sylvester Stallone's personal role in this movie. For what I understand, it was a project he started and oversaw.
• Information on why CART was used instead of F1, which was the first choice.
• While areas of this article I found quite humerous (ie: "In a parallel word, where CART is popular in America..."), its hardly encycopaedic :) --Nambio 23:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error

I think there is an factual error in this article, it states that "but fared better than director Harlin's last three films" when according to my information it only made 54 million usd in boxoffice while budget was reported to be 94 million usd. (source :http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=driven.htm) Deep blue sea made 160 million usd in boxoffice, with a budget of 60 million usd. The long kiss goodnight made about 90 million usd in boxoffice, with a budget of 65 million usd.

Well, feel free to be bold and change it if you feel it's verfiably incorrect. Also, don't forget to sign your posts on talk pages. --Maxamegalon2000 19:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion request

The plot outline is way too thin. Although there are no spoilers, because this movie was launched in 2001, it shouldn’t be a problem now. The movie is not a plain racecar movie, but evolves around each character’s motivations.

[edit] Bad Language Necesasary?

In the plot section, the second from last paragraph starts off with the words Carl is pissed..., is there really need for that type of language, couldnt we say carl is angry or something similar along those lines, also theres bad language like this throughout the whole article, is there really much need for language like this?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.203.7 (talk • contribs)

I agree, and I've made the change. --Maxamegalon2000 03:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

someone changed it back so i redid it t(-_-t).tekwon 12:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Driven.jpg

Image:Driven.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
