Ummm...thank you? Was that an answer to a question or trivia or some just a plain comment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.195.222.211 (talk) 00:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Twelve years later, I realize what a jackass I sounded like when I made the above comment. Sorry guys. Was a teenager and new to Wikipedia at the time.2600:1008:B014:6DD:6422:FEAF:7825:BCE8 (talk) 20:10, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Property Value
The property value needs a citation or at least a date - I'd guess 2005 - when that valuation had some meaning. Providing relevant dates and avoiding time assumptions in writing are essential in formal writing. -- Horkana (talk) 07:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hostage poster.JPG
Image:Hostage poster.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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Poorly Written?
This article seems poorly written in the section below.

"The police bring a helicopter. Dennis and Kevin are ready to go, but the chopper is for 3 people and Mars won't leave without Jennifer. The plan failed. Kevin has Dennis choose between him or Mars to leave. Dennis chooses the money."

Not only are there several extremely short sentences, but "Dennis chooses the money" doesn't adequately explain what happened, which was Dennis stating, "I choose the money," because Dennis didn't mean that literally and planned to get him and his brother out.

A Cult Classic
Maybe this is just me being biased. But I think it's an insult to refer to this movie as a complete bomb. It might not have been very popular when it was first released, but in more recent years I think it's definitely become a cult classic.
