Talk:Silver Bullet (film)

non-English titles
"Foreign-language adaptations have often based their titles on some variation of "The Werewolf of Tarker's Mill" instead of "Silver Bullet"."

I checked IMDB, and the only language that seems to follow that is German. In fact, all other titles seem to be "Silver Bullet", as far as I can tell. TomorrowTime (talk) 07:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The "trike" was built with a motorcycle front end, probably a Honda CR85 of the period, as well as a two-stroke dirt bike engine - probably taken from the same bike. As were the rear wheels, which were actually the front wheels of a 100 or 125cc bike of the period.


 * The "rake" angle of the front forks was so steep, the trike would have been extremely dangerous to ride in real life. In motorcycle jargon, it would be called "twitchy". Yet, as we see n the movie, someone actually rode it, apparently a young Corey Haim.  In one scene, the bike can be seen quickly veering to the right and almost crashing.


 * Gary Busey's character gave the kid the trike, and let him ride off without any real lessons or a helmet. Oddly, only 4 years later, Gary Busey would be seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, suffering head trauma due to not wearing a helmet.  98.194.39.86 (talk) 04:40, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Swapped cleanup notes
I removed the "all plot" template and added "ref improve." It has been sufficiently expanded but needs more citations, particularly for the direct quotes in the "Reception" section. I'll see what I can find via a Google search. -- momo  ricks  17:51, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
