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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Last Castle Theatrical.jpg

Image:The Last Castle Theatrical.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 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.

[edit] LAV?

WTF is that LAV at the end with the water cannon? --Johnny (Cuervo) 06:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brig Gen

I changed Gen. Wheeler credit to a Brigadier General because he has 1 star in the movie. The significance of this is that General Wheeler star was pinned and highly respectful of his formerly superior officer by Lt. Gen Irwin. 10:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ammunition, guns, confusion=

Aguilar is the second prisoner killed by a single shot to the head from a distant tower guard. There is no indication these are "rubber bullets," which is unbelievable.

Prison guards in towers generally have rifles for long-distance sniping. In this film, the tower guards do appear to aim carefully for long distance kills, like Aguilar's. Yet the guards are also seen cocking their weapons (including just prior to the shot that kills Aguilar) with a pump action, indicating they are shotguns, not rifles. Shotguns can fire solid slugs and possibly rubber bullets, but to make a clean head shot at such a distance with a shotgun would be extremely difficult. For a shotgun to create such a small wound (as shown after Aguilar is killed) is IMPOSSIBLE with a shotgun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.94.33.121 (talk) 02:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Throughout the whole film they were using rubber bullets until the end when Col. Winter authorized the use of real bullets. Also when the helicopter was taken over, the man in the tower said something along the lines of "screw this rubber bullet shit" and put in a real round. As for the shotguns and rifles the article makes no mention of what type of gun is used but it seems like they would have both rifles for long range and the shotgun for short range scatter shot. 64.203.19.96 13:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
