RED FLAGS : "mongoloid", "dude in his mouth" 2 May 2007

added 'Tequila Sunrise' but the link should link to the movie page [which does not currently exist]. Instead it links to the cocktail [hehe]. Should I remove the link?

Looks like Tombstone isn't listed in his filmography

Tombstone up but can't get the 3000 miles to Graceland link to work--Looper5920 00:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Overboard movie poster shown, but not listed with the filmography, fixed 7 Jan 2006

01/24: Some jackass changed the movie titles for 'Strongest Man in the World' to 'Gayest Man' and 'The Computer Wore...' to 'Brian wore...'. Changed it back. CvdB —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.210.184 (talk) 08:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph

I like how the photo chosen was from (in my opinion) an awful movie. Is this the best we can do, or is it for comic relief? I can appreciate comedy, but come on. Perhaps a headshot from a press release?--MUSpud2 20:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

You didn't like Stargate? Oh well, some people I suppose. Anyway an official headshot would probably be better anyway.--WhereAmI 03:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Filmography incomplete

My earliest memoriy of Kurt Russell is from an episode of Lost in Space. If anyone knows the details, can they please add it to the filmography? Raichu2 12:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russell & 65daysofstatic

What's the film Stealth Bomber? Does it really exist or it is a legend made up by 65daysofstatic? I've found no information about this film. BiOBER 17:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kurt Russel.jpg

Image:Kurt Russel.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 insure 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph2

That photograph is awful. He's not facing the camera. --84.71.35.120 22:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Thing

Does The Thing count as a remake of the film or is it a reinterpretation of the original novel??? TinyMark 21:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nick Nolte

What is the reason for mentioning Nick Nolte in the small portion about him screentesting for the role of Han Solo?JoeyFNK 23:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick Swayze

On a Detroit Talk Show this morning, someone mentioned that Kurt Russell's mother and Patrick Swayze's mother are sisters. Anyone know if it's true? If so, it's notable for both Kurt and Patrick. --Lorraine LeBeau (talk) 21:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
