Talk:Mannequin (1987 film)

Promotion of Alishafans.com
I've removed the link in the body of the article when it mentions she was the one who happened to sing the song played during a montage in the film (paraphrasing). It seemed unnecessary to blatantly add a link to this site directly after it, since it seemed like shameless self-promotion.

I'm all for providing a reference link if absolutely necessary, but just sticking it in haphazardly to drawn in hits to the site is slightly ridiculous. If someone can figure out a way to work it in appropriately to conform with the content of the article, then by all means feel free to add it back in. 71.156.89.108 03:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

It IS a remake of "One Touch of Venus"
It was just never acknowledged as such. It's a ripoff. Just like "Splash" was a ripoff of another obscure film from 1948, "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid."

What is your proof that this is NOT a remake of "One Touch of Venus"? Very strange for the entry to state that, but that's wikipedia for you.

 * I’m more surprised that One Touch of Venus is described as obscure - how do you quantify that? On what scale is it rated obscure? There are probably people out there to whom Mannequin is obscure, why not mention that too?79.67.148.152 (talk) 22:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Add the song from this
This article should add the theme tune - a song (this should at least go in the box on the top right-hand corner). After all, this song reached number in the UK_Singles_Chart in 1987. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:09, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The song is very prominently mentioned; what exactly are you proposing? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
