"Jackie Chan said in an interview that there would be a scene where his character purposely burns the baby's hand with a cigarette." Can this line really be trusted as reliable information? As it originates from a Movie summary submitted by one guy with one submission.

I feel there may be a terminology problem here - I find it very hard to believe that a film that is rated, for example, G in Singapore would feature two guys French kissing, or even be allowed to be screened at all in Malaysia. A French Kiss involves the use of the tongue, is intimate, and is not something that happens quickly. Simple contact of two sets of lips does not constitute a French kiss. Can someone who has scene the relevant scene confirm whether the description here is correct? Paul Christensen (Hong Kong) 12:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Oh really? I've watched the film (the long version) and not a single cigarette was smoked, let me see. Oh and regarding the rating. The version shown in the cinemas has scenes cut out, compared to the one shown during the film festival. One of the cut scenes involves the kiss. Since you are here, mind checking the prose? It's under peer review.--Alasdair 14:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I've had a pass through from a pure proof-reading perspective (again with no real knowledge of the subject) - just a few minor corrections of tense and grammar. One thing I left was the description at the end of the cast list of "high-ranking minions" - I think most people would regard that as a contradiction in terms, seeing minions as inherently low-ranking, but when I consult online dictionaries I do see that minion is used by some to mean simply devoted or fawning without implication of low rank, so I've left it.Paul Christensen (Hong Kong) 06:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

Project BB should be merged into this Rob-B-Hood article. Project BB is merely the working title for this film before it was released. When it debuted at the Venice Film Festival it was released as Rob-B-Hood. The Project BB article by itself does not have enough importance to warrant its' own article, at this time. Thus these two articles should be merged. Thoughts? Luke! 04:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

See IMDB article for the relationship in these two names Luke! 04:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

The use of flags in the infoboxes has been a cause of concern recently on WP:FILM, and they are particularly onerous on this one. Why all the flags, especially in the country field, where the flag is redundant? Discussion can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films#Use of flags makes information harder to read. It might be helpful to read, is all I'm suggesting. More details about the handling of release dates can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines#Release dates, which are only rough guidelines, especially in the case of this film, but still might be of some use.

The infobox is a summary. The releases in southeast Asia (Thailand on 28 September 2006! Woo hoo!), Greece and Japan could be noted in the body of the article, but aren't really necessary in the infobox. — WiseKwai 20:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I see, so they are discussing a change in style. I'll go and have a look.--Alasdair 00:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Yup, Now, only the film festival and Chinese releases are found on the box, and I agree it looks tidier. The flags often force 2 lines when I use the Day Month, Year format.--Alasdair 00:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rbh E.JPG

Image:Rbh E.JPG is being used on this article.

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 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.
