Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

Although you do not have an article called "Talk:Sleeping Dogs (film)", you do have an article called "Sleeping Dogs (film)". Within the currently submitted information is the statement, "it is notable for being the first feature-length 35 mm film produced entirely in New Zealand". This is not correct. The Library of Congress' definition of a 35mm feature film, produced prior to 1977, is one least 4000' in length. The first such film produced entirely in New Zealand was the 1922 film, 'The Birth of New Zealand'. Between that film and 'Sleeping Dogs', there were some 26 feature films produced entirely in New Zealand. Also in your current information on 'Sleeping Dogs', there is the statement, "it was also the first feature film to be produced in New Zealand since 1962". That also is incorrect in that three other 35mm feature films were produced during that time span, 'Runaway'(1964), 'Don't Let It Get You' (1966) and 'Games '74: Official Film of the Xth British Commonwealth Games'(1974).
