Talk:The Bone Collector

Untitled
Shouldn't this URL be dedicated to the book and not the movie?


 * No, I don't think so. We have one sentence on each, so splitting it up into two articles would be mad.  If both grew to be particularly large, and if a second movie (or a TV show or video game) were made from the book, then there would be more reason to split them up. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 19:53, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm going to have to disagree. The article can certainly mention the film, but as for The Bone Collector being primarily a film stub is just not correct. The book came first, the film was based off of the book, therefore the main article should be about the book, just as Alice in Wonderland is about the books, and not the collection of films. As for now, I'm going to make it about the novel, and give mention that it a film of the same name is based off of it. -- MacAddct1984 &#xF8FF; 01:22, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Seeing as it is primarily about the book and not the movie, should we still have the actors and actresses name's listed after the characters? PeteShanosky 11:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the page back, "Jolie's Dragon" blanked it.--Alexrules43 21:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Article problems
This article seems to be exclusively about the film and not the book, as there is little or no information regarding the book, and is formatted as an article for a film.

More importantly, it could be argued that this article doesn't belong on Wikipedia at all due to its irrelevance.

 * Uh, sorry but that is completely untrue... The article can be about both, when they get bigger then you split them into seperate artciles. This actually does belong on Wikipedia, see WikiProject Films and WikiProject Novels. Cbrown1023 12:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

There is a place in wiki for both film and book. The book was far superior, but that's pretty much standard for book / movie comparsions. Besides, if I remember correcty the identity of the Bone Collector is different in film and book (the major ironic twist of the book was that Rhyme wanted to commit suicide, and his doctor, who bore a grudge against Rhyme for a crime scene failure in the past that led to the death of his parents, wanted to kill him. In short, killing Rhyme would have been a very empty victory, as it was what Rhyme wanted.  The entire point of The Bone Collector was to give Rhyme a reason to live again, so THEN he lost something with his death).

Couldn't someone make an article on the book? I would if I had read it... I think it should have its own article, because this article mentions storylines about the UN and FBI which weren't featured in the film, but gives no further information on these things, meaning someone would have to go and buy the book just to find out what exactly this article is referring to. Other films based on books have articles for both, so why not this one? --PigManDan 22:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Sequel
The sequel section said: "It is unknown if a bone collector 2 will ever be created. It was said on another site that Jeffry Deaver isnt a series writer, so there are no chance of a sequel being created."

I have deleted it because it does not give a straight answer and it has unreferenced material. Lethe naiad 02:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Typos And
This article is full of typos and redundancies and inconsistencies that make my head spin. For example, I clearly remember the hero being able to move his head in the movie. Lots42 (talk) 15:33, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the book or the film, so I didn't want to change anything, but I think that "As Thompson raises a hand destoryed to blood sick to sword knife for a killing blow, Amelia suddenly arrives at the apartment and shoots explode power fire gun Thompson destroyed bite to hand with both blood dead at falls sick until as criminal defeated to failure was arrested by the police for their actions a walk of police patrol car to" probably needs some attention.

Vandalism
"Lincoln is completely oblivious to Amelia's extradordinary good looks - they operate on a purely professional level, and Lincoln's almost morbid fascination in her is based on her professionalism and 'knack' for crime solving - not that fact that she has a rack that could sink a thousand ships"

- Hahaha! While the writer may have considered this to be an undisputed fact, I think it probably counts as POV by Wikipedia standards.
