[edit] older entries

Ok, no offense but the "In real life" sounds very childish and unprofessional to me. Perhaps it could be changed? "In reality" or "In truth" or "Fact is" etc....

[edit] ,,,,,,,,,,

Another example of an article eminently easy to assemble but destroyed by the US way of ruining the otherwise beautiful English language. Look where the imbecile who wrote this puts commas. Do any of you PROOFREAD what you write? Would you recognise an error if you saw one? Wiki is doomed.

[edit] Jeffrey Wigand job description

Jeffrey Wigand is mentioned as a tobacco executive, while he was the Vice Pres of R&D I am not sure if this means he is an actual executive, the movie makes him out as more of the head scientist and not the stereotype of an executive. It just seems a little misleading to me and might want to be re-phrased even if he was an actual executive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Colincwilson (talk • contribs) 00:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 19:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:IPROMO2.JPG

Image:IPROMO2.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Trivia

I've removed the Trivia section as it is unsourced and is discouraged by Wikipedia. I've put it here until it can be integrated in other sections of the article.--J.D. (talk) 18:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

• The driving range scene was shot at The Lakes at El Segundo golf course in Los Angeles.
• After being nominated for seven Academy Awards, the film was relaunched in only 300 theaters in the United States. Also, contrary to normal practice regarding Oscar nominees, neither Al Pacino nor Russell Crowe was interviewed by 60 Minutes.
• The cafe scene was shot at the French Hotel Cafe in north Berkeley, California. Al Pacino rented a wood house high in the Berkeley hills that looked out through the trees at a view of the San Francisco Bay.
