Jean Baudrillard
I believe that Jean Baudrillard refers to Crash in a section of Simulacra and Simulation. Downchuck 00:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Just in case.
I added a link to this page from the page for the 2004 flick also called Crash, and one to that page from this page, just in case, (as happened to me) someone links here from a page simply calling it "Crash", and gets confused. Master Deusoma 23:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The quote from Parveen Adams I found at http://www.depauw.edu/sfs/birs/bir87.htm. I can't remember how to do references in wikisyntax and I am out of time now so I will have to leave it as is for the time being. Ireneshusband 18:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Music
The sound track to this film was pretty cool, anyone know who it was by, or cares to include it in the article? ArdClose (talk) 23:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Responses
It says this under responses- "In Italy, the movie and its director were repeatedly attacked by La Repubblica film critic Irene Bignardi, while the Corriere della Sera critic Tullio Kezich wished the actors to go back to Cannes limping, to give the Palmarès back to the jury." What the heck does this mean?? Wished the actors to go back to Cannes limping?? to give the Palmares back to the jury?? What??--70.149.134.54 (talk) 03:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Lack of release in the United States
I remember reading back in 1996 that this film was not shown almost anywhere in the United States because Ted Turner indirectly controlled pretty much all American movie houses and was personally opposed to the film because, in his words, "What if kids see this thing and copy it?" If my memory is correct, this fact should be added to the sections on release and reception. 67.212.8.40 (talk) 16:49, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Such a claim, which sounds absurd on its face, would need a bulletproof source. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 17:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Symphorophilia & Sexuoerotic tragedy
The article for Symphorophilia mentions this movie, but this movie's article does not mention Symphorophilia. Symphorophilia is a paraphilia in which sexuoerotism  hinges on staging and watching a disaster such as a fire or traffic accidents. This movie's Symphorophilia seems to be brought about by sexuoerotic tragedy, which is a sexological term denoting an intense, memorable and influential event which is instrumental in altering a person's perception of what is and is not sexually arousing. Doubledragons (talk) 19:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Symphorophilia is not a very mainstream concept, indeed the origin of the word can be traced to John Money circa 1984. The book Crash came out around 1973 and didn't mention the concept per se, instead focusing on car-related sexuality.  It's pretty broad and I don't actually agree that the term is 100% applicable here.  In Crash, the thrill is in being in a car crash, not watching it, and the aftermath of a single-car accident (Ballard's) is as thrilling as one involving multiple cars.  The actual forensic psychology of what they are doing is barely touched upon with nothing very in-depth said on the subject.  They certainly didn't get any "couch time" in the movie.
 * Lots of time is spent talking about cars in general and their relation to sexuality. Deborah Kara Unger has sex on a car in the first scene; Rosanna Arquette becomes highly aroused being helped into a luxury sedan and tearing the seat with her leg brace, etc. A sexuoerotic tragedy is not necessarily a negative thing, per se, but it isn't explored much in the movie either.  Changes to one's lovemap can make you more attracted to redheads as well.  98.225.230.65 (talk) 22:44, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * They do get off on watching the car crashes on the videotapes on TV (they get that sort of "couch time"!) and certainly Vaughn's elaborate staging of the famous accidents could fall under the category mentioned above. It's an interesting point to make, but since neither Ballard nor Cronenberg uses the term, any mention of it should be done carefully so as not to be WP:OR.--TEHodson 11:09, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

The phrasing in the lead is odd, "a notable form of paraphilia," odd as the Symphorophilia article isn't linked to and is bordering on not being notable itself. Is the type of sexuality displayed in the film even a defined paraphilia? Either way it seems to need a source. (Emperor (talk) 03:19, 26 May 2012 (UTC))

Movie poster
I have a copy of another version of the movie poster, the one that was used after Crash won at Cannes, but don't know how to upload it. It's basically the same image as this one, but not blue, and has the Cannes info on it. If someone will tell me how to put it on the page, I'll do so. (Never done an image before). Thanks.--TEHodson 13:04, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
