 * Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
 * Beefed up the intro by another paragraph.
 * See if possible if there is a free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.[?]
 * This is an article about a film and the only images available are fair-use images.
 * Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 35 mm, use 35 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 35&amp;nbsp;mm.[?]
 * Pesky no-break spaces.
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
 * Well okay then.
 * Avoid using contractions like: can't, wouldn't.
 * Shouldn't use contractions.
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

Good Article Nomination
I am thrilled to award this article Good Article status, as a result of its assesment to the Good Article criteria located at WP:GA?. However, I have some advice for improvement:
 * The #Track listing section reads very messily and may benefit from some WP:GNOMEing, such as bolding the title of the track, and perhaps italicising the name of the singer/performer.

Otherwise, congratulations to the lead editors and keep up the good work!

Kind regards, Anthony  cfc  [ T • C] 14:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! The track listing was also commented on in the peer review, and I agree it doesn't look great. It uses the conventions from WP:ALBUM, but perhaps they don't work too well when mixed with other article formats. I'll try some things to make it look better. — WiseKwai 19:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Alternative ending
Anyone know what's the alternative ending? Thanks BlueShirts 09:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Miramax changed it so nobody dies. — WiseKwai 14:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I like the miramax ending, the original is too sad. Did miramax film a whole new ending or did they just cut the last scene? BlueShirts 00:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * You talk like you've actually seen the Miramax version, which I thought was impossible because it was never released. Have you seen Tears of the Black Tiger? I'm assuming that Miramax simply edited the film, probably ending it before the main characters die. The move to change the ending was widely criticized as insensitive to the director's original vision, as were Miramax's changes to other Asian films. Still, there are folks, like yourself, who might prefer a happy ending, or, just out of perverse curiosity want to see what Miramax did. — WiseKwai 04:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No I haven't seen the miramax version, but I like a happy ending. BlueShirts 04:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Release in the US
The release dates in the US in the first paragraph are listed as January 2007 to April 2007, then later on it is shown as Jan 07 to March 07, any idea how long it was released for?69.113.127.175 16:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, the ref#38 is broken, I don't know where it pointed to originally, can someone fix it?69.113.127.175 16:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up on the conflicting dates. It was still playing in April. I'll try to access Archive.org and restore a link to the Kaiju Shakedown reference. — WiseKwai 17:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
