Editing Guidelines |
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Title change recommended
This article is better named Man Bites Dog (film). The phrase Man Bites Dog itself refers primarily to news media and journalists who report unusual stories, as opposed to the usual Dog Bites Man-type stories. If there are no objections, I'll move the article to the new title in a day. -- Brhaspati\talk/contribs 21:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The baby's pacifier
I corected the trivia. The baby's pacifier was already changed for the french release. In an interview in the french magasin "première", the director explain that it's because probably because French find quite moral to kill ederly people. madlozoz
[edit] Intro needs improvement
The first two sentences of the intro need improvement, imo. The first sentence has an overkill of terms and information ("a satirical 1992 Belgian French language black comedy mockumentary"). The second sentence doesn't read very well: "It has the dubious honor of being the film permitted in the United States that has been banned in the greatest number of non-U.S. countries." And why is it relevant enough to be mentioned that far up in the intro? Aecis Appleknocker Flophouse 10:54, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
