[edit] Neutrality Concerns
I didn't want to just tag this non-neutral, but I have some issues with the following:
The film explored gay stereotypes without always reverting to those stereotypes just for a cheap laugh. The main characters were neither sinners, nor evil (like many gay, lesbian, and transgender characters in early film) nor perfect, saintly martyrs (i.e Philadelphia), but rather fully formed characters with strengths and flaws.
These two statements are decidedly POV. I haven't seen the film, however, and I'd like to ask/encourage someone who has to try to clean this section up just a bit. Thanks! --S0uj1r0 08:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- I have seen the film (several times) and I have just tried for about an hour to re-write that paragraph into something coherent. It needs to be more scholarly and frankly what that paragraph is trying to express is way too complicated and abstract. I give up, but I don't think it should be deleted either.

[edit] Man with cart?
Anyone else recall this man wearing futuristic tonic suit pulling a cart or trolley of some sort running with some kinda of strobe light on an antenna on the cart? What's the deal with that? He made 2-3 appearance over the film and on one occasion Felicia attempted to say hi to him. --Kvasir 01:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- i think they just wanted to toss in a random weird joke. it did seem very out of place though, if anyone knows what's up with that, do please add it. --dan 06:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- The joke is from the begining of the film where they are seen leaving Sydney along with a woman who is said to be running across Australia in some sort of round-the-clock marathon. The joke is that she is running as fast as they can drive.Nleamy 04:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- oo it was a woman then! Thanks for the explanation. --Kvasir 07:31, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stated opening date of musical version now past
Does anyone know if the musical version did open on the projected date given? If so, can they tweak the future into the past tense? Tx. Nat 15:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trumpet
"A joke, explaining where Trumpet got his name, was omitted for the film's US release, but later released on the Special Edition DVD." The article should say who Trumpet is, yes? Nat 15:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I found out, and tweaked. Nat 10:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
