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.

Don't know what names it had in countries other than USA and UK. Anyone who does know should replace 'released in the UK as' with 'released internationally as'. I was just looking through an old magazine, saw 'Encino Man' advertised, figured out what film it actually was and came here to try to find out what an 'encino' was. sheridan 02:45, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC)

[edit] US original title

I know for sure that years ago here in the USA I saw ads for the movie with a different title. In other words, Encino Man is not the movie's original US title. I remember seeing the different title in an ad on the side of a bus. Does anyone remember the original title or at least seeing ads with a different title? 24.118.99.41 06:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• I've never seen any advertising of this movie under a different name - just Encino Man. Are you sure it was for this movie, and not any other Pauly Shore/Brendan Fraser movies? RAndersen 09:27, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'California Man'?

This movie has gone by the name 'Encino Man' when it's been shown on TV in Australia, but I'm not sure about its theatrical release title... -Nova Prime 13:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

The Australian theatrical and VHS releases were also 'Encino Man'. I saw it in its original theatrical run and rented it on VHS a year or so later. You can verify this with an OFLC search, which has no record of 'California Man' and two records for 'Encino Man'. 203.217.32.251 14:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Any connection to ERB?

Is there any connection between the choice of Encino and the fact that Edgar Rice Burroughs lived there? I vaguely remember the movie and think it has rough parallels to Burroughs's 1925 (non-comedic) book The Eternal Lover.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 05:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
