 * Weak keep. The story as told at IMDb makes a valid point for keeping him; this article does not make the point very well. -- DS1953 19:01, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - long and significant legal battles ensued in Australia - connected to the amount of damages he received from the Govt personal injury insurer after the accident (which was judged to not have been his fault). Witnesses in court included Hollywood pundits who testified Blake was destined to be a star of Mel Gibson proportions, so should receive much more damages for loss of future earnings. Another legal battle I believe concerned the capping of the amount for damages - which differed in the state where the accident occured (South Australia) and the state where Blake resided (New South Wales)... should he get the lower South Australian amount or the higher NSW figure I believe was one argument I don't have the details at hand but this is a big and notable story.
