Talk:Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Film Portal This article is within the scope of WikiProject Films. This project is a central gathering of editors working to build comprehensive and detailed articles for film topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.
Start This article has been rated as Start-Class on the quality scale. ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the priority scale.
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.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no

Needs to have the grammar and spelling cleaned up and the cast list condensed with a table of only the main characters. Who wants to know the identity of the person who played "Policeman"? hitman012 19:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Update: I have cleaned up the "Plot" section and a friend is in the process of writing new material. I aim to condense the cast section into the main characters soon and will subsequently remove the cleanup tag once this is completed. hitman012 19:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

As for merging this article, I think it is a tough chore because In the 2000 remake of this film, there was a car named "Eleanor" as well; however the Eleanor from the new version was a 1968 silver and blue Shelby, I think. Definitely not a 1973 yellow Mach 1. Slickshoes3234 11:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] how....

did they possibly get away with speeding in real traffic?

[edit] Merge tag

It should have the same treatment as the Shelby had in Gone in 60 seconds in 2000 (see Shelby_Mustang#1967). The information should be merged from 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Eleanor into Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 film) & in the section Ford_Mustang_Mach_1#Growth_Happens. Plus it is not linked to and it isn't that notable. Lincher 17:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Halicki-Bashing v. Halicki-Gushing

Although the original version of the film had a different music score, the reissue in 2000 and 2004 contained the nonoriginal score which could be deemed as if George Lucas reissued the original Star Wars trilogy with altered scenes and/or additional scenes not seen from the initial release. There should have been a reissue with 2 versions of the original Gone in 60 Seconds.

[edit] Pop Culture reference

There should be a pop-culture reference, as it is not uncommon to hear people talk about a particular favourite car with phrases like, "My Eleanor" or "My unicorn", which almost certainly originated with this film (or possibly with the remake, but who knows). Does anyone else concur? It looks like it might be difficult to find web references for this particular expression. Jpipkin42000 22:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

If you can find a verifiable source for them being common expressions and originating with the film, fine; I've never heard or read the phrases... --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
