Revisions
Taking after the example of the excellent article Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I am combining, improving and expanding the Papillon (book) and Papillon (movie) articles. 06:31, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Where's the barracks (?) (prison ?). In the beginning of film, the convicts stand naked in this great barrack yard, before they are being escorted to harbor for transatlantic transport. - Thanks ! --129.187.244.28 (talk) 05:43, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Famous cliff-jumping scene
In THE ULTIMATE STUNTMAN (A Tribute to Dar Robinson - 1987) (Youtube) the 100 ft jump to the sea bellow (edit) in the end of the film is credited to stuntman Dar Robinson. So, who's jump is in the film, Robinson's or McQueen's?RicHard-59 (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Or maybe McQ made himself the fall after being shot by poison darts? RicHard-59 (talk) 07:46, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * A Document film of McQ credits him for the end jump to the sea.--RicHard-59 (talk) 19:16, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Which country?
In this edit, an anonymous user changed the country from Honduras to Colombia, but left the link to Honduras. Does anyone know which is the right country? The text seen or the link have to be corrected. Unfortunately I don't know which one is right. Jghsdjigyugvu (talk) 10:23, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hint: read the book. It has a map. Colombia is correct, Honduras is Middle-America.RicHard-59 (talk) 09:55, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
