[edit] Soundtrack

"The soundtrack also features a cover version of The Doors' song "People are Strange" by Echo & the Bunnymen. The song as it featured in the movie is an alternate, shortened version with a slightly different music arrangement. This version has not been released as of yet." YES IT HAS!!! It's on the movie soundtrack.

[edit] Santa Carla also in 1988 film Waxwork

The Missing posters in this film refer to the Santa Carla police department. Actually, these missing posters in Waxwork were doctored versions of the missings posters in Lost Boys. Enda80 16:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Enda80

I was going to say that's be useful in an article about the film Waxwork, but for some reason we don't have it. Would it be worth mentioning in this article? -- the GREAT Gavini 10:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

"In Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Orange, while memorizing a cover story, mentions that he was "Trying to watch The Lost Boys." Ironically, he mentions said cover taking place in 1986, the year before The Lost Boys was released in theaters." That's not irony. 203.206.73.32 10:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibility of sequels

Some recent news.

Sequel has a name and a trailer. And it would appear Corey Feldman has a decent-sized role. http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1583178&vid=215372 Mbourgon (talk) 21:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Capello vs. The Call

From the MUSIC section: "Tim Capello's inspirational hit I Still Believe was featured in the film as well as on the soundtrack. Tim Capello makes a small cameo appearance..." The radio hit version of "I Still Believe" is by The Call, from the album _Reconciled_ {full song title: "I Still Believe (Great Design)".} I don't think Tim Capello's version actually got much airplay, much less became a "hit", even in the most modest sense. 24.173.35.86 17:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Should the trivia bullet "There are no colored people seen in the film" even be in the trivia section?

[edit] Discussion over the Ending

I've deleted this section only because in the long run its pointless and it really doesn't need to be here.

[edit] Tag line

The last piece of trivia quotes the tagline incorrectly. It misses 'Never grow old, Never die" (see the poster image). This needs to be fixed somehow. prehaps removed - SimonLyall 12:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vampire disintegration?

The article states that all the vampires but David disintergrate upon death. I am hard pressed to find a scene in the theatrical or DVD released versions that actually show a disintergration. One is staked, but bleeds profusely, another is burned beyond recognition by holy water, one is electrocuted, and David is impaled. This statement appears false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.150.226 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 4 May 2007

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:B0002XVKIG.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Image:B0002XVKIG.03.LZZZZZZZ.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

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 21:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Root Beer / Dr. Pepper debate

"The middle shelf mine. Keep my root beer and double-thick Mint Oreo cookies here. Nobody touches the second shelf." to quote Grandpa. It's that way in both the film and the novella, I checked. Vila 06:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccurate Pop Culture Reference Information

The article currently refers to the Vampire computer game. The Vampire computer game comes from the tabletop RPG, which of course predates it, and was strongly influenced by the movie as vampires in the modern world. See the article at Vampire:_the_masquerade.

[edit] The 69 Eyes

I might of missed it but I don't think I saw anything about the song Lost Boys by The 69 Eyes in pop culture or anywhere. That song is pretty much about this movie and many parts of the song and video clip and from the movie. Such as where they are hanging from the bridge, that's in the video clip. The line "Blind boys never lie" that's both in the movie and the song as well. WeLsHy 02:50, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

• it's in the pop culture section, part 4 to be exact. Vila 03:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
