I don't know if I'm allowed to add this here, but I came to say this article is extraordinarily detailed and beautifully written. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Well done!124.171.112.25 (talk) 16:46, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the anthology series the film is part of? --Mika1h (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I have a few concerns over three sentences in the Release section.

  • "The total US gross was $5,269,757" - One of the sources for this is The Numbers. Is this RS? Is that citation even necessary, given that there's another cite for this information.
  • "The film also was given a limited cinema release in Australia, Germany and France in 1996" - There's probably a better source for this than "blu-ray.com"
  • "The film was released in VHS format on 12 November 1996" - This Alibris source also lists a sale item of the VHS version from February 1996. The Amazon product info, which is probably more reliable per the WP:RSP entry for Amazon's basic product info, goes with the November date. Is Alibris going to even be that good of a source if it also lists doubtful dates?

These should be easy to fix. Unfortunately, I'm too busy with work in RL right now to be able to dredge up the sources for this. Hog Farm Talk 03:39, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
