Third Feature[edit]

I changed it to "third" feature film, because coffee and cigarettes from 86 was merely a short. Coffee and Cigarettes was not released as a feature film until 2003. Technically this might even be Jarmusch's 2nd feature film if you count Permanent Vacation as simply a student film. Either way, it's definately not his fourth feature.

Furthermore, from the beginning of the Criterion Essay: "Down by Law, released in 1986, was Jim Jarmusch’s third movie." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.112.99 (talk) 05:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Setting[edit]

I would be very interested to know the location of the swamp used in this film. Actually, according to IMDB it was filmed in Louisiana, but I suppose I still don't know the specific swamp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.91.201.26 (talk) 13:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

doesn't make sense[edit]

This statement::

"...Bob, however, although the only true innocent of the three, is in fact guilty of the manslaughter for which he has been arrested"

is poorly worded so that it sounds like a contradiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Y.H.Crana (talk • contribs) 06:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the worst of it but the article will likely remain weak until someone takes an interest in improving it. Doctor Sunshine talk 09:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

I wonder why the Trivia section which at a moment had three referenced items was deleted without comment. Maybe someone can point me to a guideline how to deal with trivias in movies. If this doesn't happen, I suggest to reinstall the following three items:

When Bob is sitting in the woods, roasting the rabbit over the fire, he tells stories from home and mentions his sisters Bruna, Albertina and Anna, which are actually sisters of the actor Roberto Benigni. The names of his parents Isolina and Luigi ("Gigi") are consistent.^[1];
Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi, whose characters fell in love in the movie, later got married in real life.
The film is dedicated to Pascale Ogier and Enzo Ungari.

Remake of "We're No Angels"?[edit]

This film reminds me in many ways of We're No Angels (1955 film). Was there any conscious remaking involved? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 18:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
