Talk:Rob-B-Hood

"Jackie Chan said in an interview that there would be a scene where his character purposely burns the baby's hand with a cigarette." Can this line really be trusted as reliable information? As it originates from a Movie summary submitted by one guy with one submission.

I feel there may be a terminology problem here - I find it very hard to believe that a film that is rated, for example, G in Singapore would feature two guys French kissing, or even be allowed to be screened at all in Malaysia. A French Kiss involves the use of the tongue, is intimate, and is not something that happens quickly. Simple contact of two sets of lips does not constitute a French kiss. Can someone who has scene the relevant scene confirm whether the description here is correct? Paul Christensen (Hong Kong) 12:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh really? I've watched the film (the long version) and not a single cigarette was smoked, let me see. Oh and regarding the rating. The version shown in the cinemas has scenes cut out, compared to the one shown during the film festival. One of the cut scenes involves the kiss. Since you are here, mind checking the prose? It's under peer review.--Alasdair 14:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've had a pass through from a pure proof-reading perspective (again with no real knowledge of the subject) - just a few minor corrections of tense and grammar. One thing I left was the description at the end of the cast list of "high-ranking minions" - I think most people would regard that as a contradiction in terms, seeing minions as inherently low-ranking, but when I consult online dictionaries I do see that minion is used by some to mean simply devoted or fawning without implication of low rank, so I've left it.Paul Christensen (Hong Kong) 06:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Merge
Project BB should be merged into this Rob-B-Hood article. Project BB is merely the working title for this film before it was released. When it debuted at the Venice Film Festival it was released as Rob-B-Hood. The Project BB article by itself does not have enough importance to warrant its' own article, at this time. Thus these two articles should be merged. Thoughts? Luke! 04:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * See IMDB article for the relationship in these two names Luke! 04:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Infobox flagcruft
The use of flags in the infoboxes has been a cause of concern recently on WP:FILM, and they are particularly onerous on this one. Why all the flags, especially in the country field, where the flag is redundant? Discussion can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films. It might be helpful to read, is all I'm suggesting. More details about the handling of release dates can be found at WikiProject Films/Style guidelines, which are only rough guidelines, especially in the case of this film, but still might be of some use.

The infobox is a summary. The releases in southeast Asia (Thailand on 28 September 2006! Woo hoo!), Greece and Japan could be noted in the body of the article, but aren't really necessary in the infobox. — WiseKwai 20:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I see, so they are discussing a change in style. I'll go and have a look.--Alasdair 00:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, Now, only the film festival and Chinese releases are found on the box, and I agree it looks tidier. The flags often force 2 lines when I use the Day Month, Year format.--Alasdair 00:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rbh E.JPG
Image:Rbh E.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 insure 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Overuse of non-free images
The article uses in the body too many non-free images that are not signified by critical commentary. Judging from the content, the only image that seems appropriate for inclusion is the one of Jackie Chan hanging from the roller coaster (due to neighboring content about stunts). The "Writing" image adds nothing to the article, the baby is not important to show in the "Cast" section, and the two images in the "Plot" section are just decorative of the scenes with no significance attached through critical commentary. Lastly, the poster image in the "Reception" section is a near-duplicate of the image in the infobox. Since this is a Featured Article (and I am a bit astounded about the lack of image review at its FAC), I would like to remove them. I've requested additional input before going ahead. — Erik (talk • contrib) 18:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep the infobox movie poster and maybe File:Rbh F.JPG (if that is the actual baby in this stunt, otherwise another screenshot should replace it). The others are all decorative or covered by the other two images. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 19:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree with your assessment, the images are mostly decorative in nature (NFCC#8), and since there's so many, it's also a violation of NFCC#3a. decltype (talk) 19:14, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, this is just ridiculous - keep the infobox poster and the roller coaster image. I think this brings up an important issue though, which is that we probably need to go through every film FA (it's a tedious task) and reassess them. This page was promoted almost 2 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. It's been awhile since I've really looked at what WP:FILM has been doing, but do we have a task force devoted to FA reassessment? I think this page is a prime example of how much has changed since then (as you can see the page was passed with these images present).   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  19:31, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's been happening already. See Featured article review/Triumph of the Will/archive1, Featured list removal candidates/BAFTA Award for Best Film/archive1, Featured article review/Gremlins/archive1, Featured article review/The Boondock Saints, and so forth.  At WT:FILMC, I mentioned an idea to do an article check-up (for FAs and maybe GAs) annually to assess quality in that timespan or even to see if reviewers missed anything. — Erik  (talk • contrib) 19:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see all the extra images were removed. Too many articles are filled with pictures that are just window dressing. MovieMadness (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Budget
We quote contradictory figures for the filming budget (16.8m US or Hong Kong Dollars?). -- JN 466  23:21, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
