For trivia buffs, the name of the gang Brando led was The Black Rebels. Trekphiler 18:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

California plates

The article states that the film was set in "Middle America", but I could have sworn I saw California license plates. 63.24.29.75 12:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beatles

"It is notable that the Beatles got their name from the film..." Say what? I've never heard this, and if true it should go in the Beatles article, which has the passage "There are many theories as to the origin of the name and its unusual spelling; it is usually credited to Lennon, who said that the name was a combination word-play on the insects "beetles" (as a reference to Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets) and the word "beat". Cynthia Lennon suggests that Lennon came up with the name Beatles at a "brainstorming session over a beer-soaked table in the Renshaw Hall bar."[11] Lennon — who was well known for giving multiple versions of the same story — joked in a 1961 Mersey Beat magazine article that "It came in a vision — a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From this day on you are Beatles with an A'" Herostratus 16:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

There is no way that The Beatles got their name from this film, as it was banned in the U K until 1968. They may well have seen it in Hamburg, but by this time they were already called The Beatles. I have removed it from the article. Vera, Chuck & Dave 21:15, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

What are you rebelling against?

Marlon Brando's cult answer What do you got? is a bit complicated for me. Does he say that like "What is your problem (to ask me something like this)?", or "What do you got (to offer)?" for example? This answer has been cited and used in many other movies or TV shows, just WHAT does it mean??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.2.124.80 (talk) 05:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

He says "Whaddaya got?" as in "What have you got [to rebel against]?" His point being he is a rebel without a cause, a rebel on a kind of pure, existential level; the specific thing he is rebelling against doesn't really matter. -DrSwiftus —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.33.69.49 (talk) 11:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
